I recently built a new system and I ended up splurging on a GTX 1080. I mainly do office work from home and screen quality/refresh rate hasn't been an issue, except when I game here and there. I've had the same monitors for the last decade ( 2 x Acer x223wbd) and I feel like it's time to...

I'm sorry.. I sort of am taking your suggestion though. I plan to get a higher hz monitor if I can afford it, but I really can't spend more than $200 and would like to stay around the $150 if possible. And thanks for mentioning that about Acer. I think I remember hearing something like that...

Thanks for basically confirming my issue. So it's simply a shitty monitor... I guess I never really thought much about monitor quality and spent all my money on the rest of my system. I will defiantly get a new monitor asap.

Thanks for the reply guys. I don't think the problem is ghosting per se.. I'm really thinking that it's just because I bought this monitor back in 2008 for like $100 and I've been too lazy/cheap to spend a little extra on a faster and better monitor. This shit's been so hard on my eyes but...

A long time ago, I used to play Unreal Tournament on our computers in school, in CAD class, after we finished work. This was back in the day of CRT monitors. I vividly remember being blown away by how utterly smooth the video was while playing. Like, I could turn left/right and look up/down...

I am asking because I posted a question in one of the sections the other day and then googled my title and one of the top results was hardware.forumsee.com and it was basically an auto-copy and post of what I had posted, just on a different webpage with different theme and more advertisements. I...

Thanks guys :)

haha I know... its confusing to write out.. My monitors: 1 DVI and 1 VGA My video card outs: DVI, HDMI, 2xMini display port What I did: I naturally hooked up my DVI monitor to my DVI port on the video card. I then had the VGA monitor waiting to be connected, but needed a VGA to HDMI...

No, I have my DVI monitor connected to the DVI port on my video card.

Apparently I have 2 x mini display ports, which I've never heard of until now. Then there is HDMI and DVI out. So maybe I can use the two mini display ports, but I'll need new adapter cables.

So, in summation, I am stuck with one single monitor with this video card, correct? Then my only other option is to get a second video card in there.

ok... wait.... so the problem is the VGA aspect of the hardware (that it's not compatible with HDCP) correct? What is the solution? Can I just get a HDMI monitor and then use that along with my DVI monitor?? Or am I only going to be able to use one or the other?

So my old video card was a GeForce 9800GTX+ which had a DVI and VGA out. I had to displays set up and working fine -- main one was DVI and the other was VGA. I got a new MSI R7850 to replace the old card. I connected my DVI monitor and then bought a VGA to DVI cable from Amazon to use with my...

Yeah I'm noticing the performance drop. I didn't know that about the disabled cuda, but it makes sense.

Thaks. That's what I needed to hear. It does seem like my system is slightly slower but I'll keep playing around with it.

I did consider an adapter, and I will probably buy it. However, my other main idea behind this besides using both monitors is that I wanted to use the two cards together so they could be useful in sharing different processing loads. Obviously I'm not talking about Crossfire or SLI, but I run 3D...

Of course this would be the first response. I always get responses that don't address my actual question directly. So frustrating. I'm not trying to be rude to you, it's just it ALWAYS happens. Moving on. I can not plug both monitors into my new card because my new card only has one single...

I've had a Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ for a long time and I just got a new MSI R7850 (Twin Frozr 2GD5OC). I want to use both cards in my system: the R7850 for my primary GPU for gaming on my main monitor and the 9800 for my secondary monitor. I want to know if I will have driver conflict issues or...

Hello. I am interested in one of those Delhi travel packages.

That wont work. The controller board must be for the exact same model. I found one by the way. It's a WD4000KD hard drive.

It's just a normal sata drive. It will work when connected to a motherboard.

I just put a link to a picture of my hdd in the main post.

Sorry, I should have included that info too. Yes, I took the hdd out of the enclosure and connected it directly to my system's motherboard. The platters are spinning but my system does not see the drive, even in Disc Management mmc.

EDIT: nevermind. I found someone with the model drive I need. Thanks [H]

I know this is a really really late reply. But a while back I finally discovered the source of all my problems: FUCKING SATA CABLES. Yes, all my problems with raid 0, "problematic" hard drives and motherboard issue were all due to the shitty SATA cables I got with my motherboard way back when I...

oh sorry guys. I didn't mean that I was asking about registering the modem's MAC address... I actually asked my ISP if I could freely connect other routers and computers directly to my modem without having to wait forever before the MAC binding "expires" or whatever. They were also not that...

I tried to ssh to a remote host at my college and I was able to successfully log in, yet http requests still hang (as expected). So this tells me that it's probably a problem with my NAT system regarding my http requests... any ideas?

Not to be rude, but did you even read my post? :rolleyes:

Edit: read my next messages

Actually I set up ip masquerade/NAT with my iptables firewall script. I will check my script again for errors.

I don't know how it could be a NAT issue (not ruling it out) because why would NAT work between eth0, eth1, and the Linksys but not between eth0 and eth1? I eventually do plan to use something like pfSense, but what I am doing is part of a research project, and I am trying to better learn the...

I have a Debian 5 Linux Gateway/Firewall system that I've been configuring to replace my Linksys WRT54GL router. Currently, I have it fully working with internet access, though it is sitting behind my Linksys router at the moment. Here is the network layout that allows Internet access...

I had been planning to put new connectors on my cables for months... I finally sat down to do it and realized how much trouble it was so I said fk it.

Well if I knew exactly what to set the cpu settings in my BIOS, maybe I would consider overclocking it. Maybe I will find a guide online. If I did do this with my cpu, should I increase my cooling? As it is now, I have a HUGE heatsink and fan... I forget what it is but it's definitely a good...

Thanks for the input Xonim. I am looking for a single card solution. I have been looking at the 570 too... seems like it could be the solution... I really don't care what it is if the next card I get is able to significantly out-perform the two 9800's I have now.

So I came into some money and figure I could get a better video card. I have about $300-$400. Currently I have two GeForce 9800 GTX+ SLI but I'm not very happy with their performance. It's good for the games I play, but I know it could be a lot better. I mostly play MW2, Battlefield, and SC2...

thanks.. i will post results. btw should i be worried about evga rma process?

I havent tested my hard drives in another pc... i dont have another sata motherboard. I think a few of the drives might still work, but the rest of them completely stopped functioning. i ran hdd diagnostics on the ones that i could and got errors. i dont think temperature is an issue, and...
