I'm using a PA32UCG-K right now for gaming and overall I'm happy with it. My main priority is visual quality and accuracy (I don't play multiplayer games, don't care for high refresh rates). And while the monitor does have all of that, it has its quirks, especially in SDR with FALD enabled (I...

Acer X32 and ViewSonic XG321UG were supposed to compete with the PG32UQX, but where are they? Both of them are listed on the nvidia's g-sync list so they must have been at least certified (i.e., not vaporware). I'm especially interested in X32 but there have been no updates about it since mid...

I'v been using my old Asus RT-N18U router for probably more than 3 years and had no problems with it but today I noticed some weird behaviour. It's receiving internet traffic which is not being requested by any of the connected clients. Anyone could explain why this is happening and how to...

Hello, I have just set up a clean Win 10 1909 installation and after all updates had finished (only a few were required) I am seeing that CU KB4528760 was installed twice (it has "(2)" at the end of its name in the installed update list). After checking the update log, I see this: Info...

I am using an HDR monitor (Acer X27P) and have HDR turned on in Windows settings. This means that Windows is mapping the colors of SDR content (desktop and apps) to HDR colors and that is fine (I like the final result). However, when I run SDR games (that don't support HDR natively) in full...

JEDEC DDR4 standard has the following 2666Mhz timing defintions: DDR4-2666T (17-17-17) DDR4-2666U (18-18-18) DDR4-2666V (19-19-19) DDR4-2666W (20-20-20) Does that mean that all sticks that have different timings from those above are out of spec even if they don't use XMP? For example, is a...

Hello, I have just built a new Intel system and while doing that had a weird problem of second channel DRAM slots not functioning (slots 3 and 4, any sticks in there and the system doesn't post). RAM sticks are good (work in slots 1 and 2) and it was hard to believe two slots of the board to be...

Hello, I'm replacing an old router (Buffalo WHR-HP-G54) with a new one (Asus RT-N18U) for my parents and I'm having weird issues with that. There are 3 wired clients (3 PCs) and only one of them works well with the Asus router (none of them have any connectivity issues with the old Buffalo...

I am using an HP p1230 (rebranded Diamond Pro 2070SB) CRT monitor with my retro gaming XP machine. All of my previous monitors allowed me to change color temperature which I always set to 6500K since it looks best to me. However, this one does not have a preconfigured 6500K option - instead it...

Does anyone know if current Velociraptor drives support setting jumper 7-8 to fix misalignment issues on win xp formatted single-partition systems as described here? My drive does have pins available but no markings regarding jumper options. I know there are other options to fix that, but...

Any CRT gurus here? Right now I'm using a 21" Sun X7146A monitor (which is a rebranded Sony GDM-5510) for my unfortunately rare retro gaming sessions. I have no complaints - the monitor is brand new and visual quality is good. However, do you think a 22" Mitsubishi 2070SB unit would be a...

I'm troubleshooting a certain problem which gives me blurry picture in certain cases. My CRT monitor is connected to the graphics card I just bought (an MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk) via a DVI -> VGA adapter that came with the card. I've never had the problem with the previous card (an Asus GTX 285)...

I've just bought a GTX 560 Ti (MSI Hawk) and I use it with a quality CRT monitor. It is connected to the card via the DVI->VGA adapter. Here's the problem. Everywhere where the Nvidia Windows driver is not used (e.g., BIOS setup, POST messages, DOS mode, Windows XP installation) the...

I was viewing a clip on YouTube at home today and all of a sudden my wireless connection disappeared. No wireless networks are detected anymore. Nothing else was running, I was not doing anything else except having my browser open. I haven't installed anything lately, nor have I made any...

There have been display related problems with my Samsung LE37M8 TV lately (I've been using it for ~5 years). Usually it works OK, but sometimes the picture becomes distorted in one of the following ways: 1. Vertical stripes of distorted picture appear. 2. A part of the picture (usually the...

I'm looking for a new notebook right now. What I hate about my current one is that Asus for some reason does not want their customers to use official GPU drivers (coming from ATI/AMD in my case) which is completely retarded in so many ways. I'm looking for brands that are not that restrictive...

I'm going to play the original Deus Ex which is based on Unreal engine. The game has a "Dolby Surround Sound" option. Should it be turned on? I will be playing the game using stereo headphones, so I assume it's not needed. Am I right?

I'm trying to set up CMSS-3D for headphones on Windows XP. I have speakers set to "Headphones" in Creative control panel and unchecked synchronization with Windows control panel. In Windows audio settings I want to select 5.1 speaker configuration (under "Speaker setup"), however, that...
