    Is HDR broken in Frostbite games (Battlefield 1/5/etc) for anybody else? Think Windows 11 may have broken HDR for older games

    A bit of a random question, but since I know a lot of people here have an HDR display I figured this would be a good place to ask: Can any of you try booting up Battlefield 1 or Battlefield 5 in HDR? Then hit ~ to bring up the console, and type render.DrawScreenInfo 1 and see if HDR is listed...

    WTB for $10: Single-slot GPU, 512 MB or more. Can be Nvidia or GCN generation AMD.

    This will be used alongside my 5700xt, so any Nvidia card is fine, but pre-GCN AMD won't work because of driver conflict.

    i5 6600k and Gigabyte Z170xp-sli motherboard

    i5 was super stable at 4.3gHz with minor voltage bump. Probably could go higher but I'm usually content with the easy low voltage overclocks. Have original boxes for both, most accessories. Maybe a SATA cable or two is missing. $180 shipped

    Can some of you test if 1080i (or some other custom interlaced res) works over displayport?

    So over the in the ye-olde FW900 CRT forums, we've had issues getting our AMD cards to display interlaced resolutions over certain displayport adapters. We're not sure if it's an issue with AMD drivers and displayport, or AMD drivers and the adapter we're trying. So I'm hoping some of you can...

    Want to run second Windows install on external drive. Will I run into activation problems?

    So there are a few games I play that run better on older GPU drivers. I'd like to use an eSATA drive with another instance of Win10 that I plug in whenever I feel like playing these games. But will Microsoft have a problem with me running two separate installs of windows on the same machine...

    GTX 1080 gaming G1 by Gigabyte

    SOLD on craigslist I'm thinking $615 shipped is fair? Owned about a month. Heat is Enhanced_Interrogator Purchased it because I had been planning for months to build a PC for the new Mirror's Edge. Chose crossfire 380x's because they have analog out and I use CRT monitors. Turns out ME is...

    Will increasing base clock (BCLK) give better crossfire/sli performance?

    Say I have a mother board where the PCIE 3.0 drops to 8x with crossfire, could I feasibly be bottlenecked there and thus help myself with a faster BCLK? Because right now I have my CPU and RAM on higher multipliers while leaving my base clock untouched.

    Crossfire profiles with least input lag?

    So I just upgraded to a crossfire system, thought I'd play a little Rocket League at downsampled 4k (85hz, same framerate I ran before adding the second card) and I noticed the input lag instantly. It's really off-putting, so much so that I'll probably end up playing rocket league on one card...

    Hewlitt-Packard motherboard suddenly not POSTing after messing w/ hdd's and screwing up system files

    So this is the PC I've been using for the last 6 months or so, a used HP business-class PC with a i5-3470k. I had 3 HDD's hooked up to it a couple days ago, moving around files to get ready to put on my new PC. In the process, I had messed with permission settings and ended up screwing up some...

    Moved previous OS drive to new PC for storage, now everything is read only? + more crazy crap

    So first, I'll be talking about three PC's, I'll call them New PC, Old PC, Oldest PC. I just built new PC with SSD, installed Windows 10. Take drive from Old and Older PC's, since they have my Steam and other games on them, and put them in my new PC. I open them up, and most folders (including...

    Tripple buffering broken in Mantle starting in 15.7

    Thought I'd let everybody know that AMD somehow broke triple buffering with v-sync enabled sometime after 15.4 (I think 15.7 but I'm not totally sure, it was definitely broken in 15.8) Here are the frametime graphs: 15.4 notice how the CPU frametime stays near the GPU frametime when the...

    can't hit shift and capslock at same time, how to fix?

    So I use capslock as my VOIP button, since it is in a convenient spot. Problem is, shift is my sprint button, and capslock presses won't register while I'm holding shift. So no running and talking at the same time. This is on a a Dell USB keyboard and Windows 10. About a month back I had a...

    Windows 10 still forcing driver updates even though I opted out.

    Is this happening for anybody else that's done the opt-out via the System sub-menus? I had AMD Catalyst 15.4 installed, because 15.7 introduced a bug for one of my games, but Windows still updated the driver to 15.7 yesterday. I guess maybe it wasn't correctly identified as a driver by...

    Windows 10: How to force Update Delivery Optimization (update sharing over network)?

However, my laptop is already up to date, so I was hoping this new torrent-like update delivery thing would allow my laptop to stream updates to my PC. But the update download is still going really slow on my PC, even...

    Anybody getting 5.1 surround sound from Windows 10?

    How to delete refresh rate or resolution from Windows/CCC?

    Do any modern monitors support Sync-on-Green?

All I needed was a component cable and a RCA female>VGA male adapter like this. Only works with 480p and higher resolutions, of course, and you have to have your PS2 in RGB mode...

    Any way to extract a monitor driver from built-in windows/graphics driver?

    So I have an old monitor that only has 32-bit drivers available online, but Windows or CCC (not sure which) is correctly identifying the monitor and installing drivers for it. Is there a way to extract this driver and install it elsewhere? The problem is, I'm trying to run the signal through...

    Adjusting color via drivers vs monitor

    So, if you were to lower contrast via CCC, because your whites are too bright, are you losing information in the sub-white zone? In other words, are some of the steps on the 0-255 RGB scale being merged? What are the pros/cons of doing it on your monitor's OSD instead?
