Not even the PS5 has 2.1?

So, can a person get an expansion card with a USB-C connector that supports "DisplayPort Alternate Mode", get the last listed adapter, and call it a day? How do you pipe video through a USB port if your system isn't specifically built for it?

Ack!, Nenu, you're like Krampus at Christmas, shoving nasty coal in my stockings and making off with my kids. Well, I guess that answers that question, though I suppose I could try noko's adapter option as a stopgap measure. Knowing my luck, though, I'm probably running some old-ass version of...

I'm currently using an Intel igpu solution (HD 4600), so no HDR bit level is available to me. And I can't find any setting that'll let me play HDR encoded material that won't make it look almost completely color drained. I tried madVR along with mpc-hc and nothing I did worked. The file...

No A/V receiver on the market right now accepts DP? What!? Yeah, my state-of-the-art new QLED only has HDMI. Doesn't have a single legacy input, which I forgot was gonna be a problem, as I have a laserdisc player and a dvd recorder (I need to find a cheap s-video to HDMI converter). So, I'm...

Well, we're back to glorified adapters, but what about an A/V receiver? Can any take a full-fledged, modern-version DP signal with all the HDR, full quality audio, and refresh bells and whistles and transmutate it into an HDMI 2.1 one? I could use a receiver for other reasons, so that would be...

Ugueyeha. All my dreams are turning into 2.1 nightmares. Something tells me I should've bought a TV with DP inputs (assuming they exist). So, nobody's cpu has 2.1 HDMI as part of its igpu? Not even Intel's newest?

Blech. This isn't going according to plan. I thought 2.1 had been incorporated into discrete gpus generations ago. I might have to seriously pivot. What about AMD's apus? Do any of them incorporate 2.1?

Yeeesh. Those are the cheapest? Nothing from any prior generations, like Vega 56 or 64? All I'm looking to do is output an HDR signal to my new HDR-capable TV. I realize I can do that with HDMI 2.0, but I'd rather stick with 2.1 for personal reasons.

My apologies if this has been recently addressed, but what is the cheapest gpu that can be had that comes with HDMI 2.1? Gaming performance is NOT needed. I'd like to get something from nVidia, but AMD, Intel, Matrox, Tseng, etc. are all welcome. I've tried researching this myself, but the...

The HTPC was (and still is) directly connected to the TV via HDMI. I know next to nothing about networking, hence why the HTPC itself is beside the TV, otherwise I would've put it in a closet somewhere and streamed things via a simple head unit. It's an el-cheepo Norco box that I changed-out...

Thing is, according to this MS HDR article, you have to have HDMI 2.0 in order to achieve HDR playback. And the TV is HDR10 certified, so I'm 99.9% positive the TV has HDMI 2.0 inputs. I've got some HDR content I'm itching to try, as right now, everything has that washed-out look since I'm...

Hi guys. My beloved Samsung 67" DLP finally kicked the can recently, so I had to get a quick replacement. My local Costco had a good deal on a QN75Q6DRAFXZA with white glove shipping, so it's now sitting in my house. Thing is, it's FAR more modern than the motherboard to which it is attached...

Last report - the 1050 Ti install went great. Heaven runs fine along with A:I. As a mild bonus, the 1050 series doesn't require a separate cable, as it can run directly from PCIe power. I'm not entirely sure what to do with the ailing 970. I could keep it to use when testing motherboards...

I looked at the chips under the thermal pad block and couldn't see anything awry. Replaced the pads, but the failure persists. So, I cheesed-out and bought a new 1050Ti. Even the 1060s I looked at were flapping around in the ionosphere. I know there are plenty of used cards that can be had...

But I never took the (thermal) pads off when I was replacing the TIM. I only looked at them with more than a little consternation and suspicion.

Hmmm. On this particular 970, I think the inductors are nearer the I/O plate. I just watched a vid on the thermal pad fix for the 1070/1080 and the inductor row looked the same as the row on mine, just positioned differently. Could be 'cause this is a half-card. I might replace the pads just...

I was looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GAMING-Support-08G-P4-5173-KR/dp/B01KVZBNY0/ref=pd_sbs_147_12?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01KVZBNY0&pd_rd_r=F12EBPW5JACE643GY1PX&pd_rd_w=dEKN7&pd_rd_wg=QzfA4&refRID=F12EBPW5JACE643GY1PX&th=1 but was a little leery given the price...

I purchased it in 2014, so it's warranty-less at this point. Interestingly (maybe predictably), a used card costs more than I paid for it new. Is the inductor on the front or rear of the card? When I was inspecting it, there was some gunk on the back that looked kinda gross, but it didn't...

Ugh. Wonderful. Dougie, I guess I'll try Afterburner just for S&Gs. Dan_D, sounds like the card has to go, but this is one of the worst times imaginable to purchase a new videocard. Curses! Thanks for the quick feedback. I think I'll now take a double-shot of Vicodin.

I have a Gigabyte GTX970 mini that has started giving me a problem. A bizarre problem. It seems that, whenever I try to run something that pushes the card, it crashes. For ordinary use, like browsing or Photoshop, it's fine and there's no indication anything is wrong. I'm actually using it...

I was a little leery about uninstalling it, as it seemed heavily intertwined with 1803. Think it'll be okay to chuck it?

I really don't know where to post this, but I SUSPECT it's an NVMe issue or some sort of storage driver problem. Ever since I installed KB4100403, I've been having these extremely bizarre partial system hangs with Windows 10 1803. I say partial because some aspects of the system continue to...

I'm still confused. Here're two typical entries that ClrMamePro generates when doing a scan: Golden Tee Fore! 2003 (v3.00.10) [system: Eagle BIOS - folder: gtfore03 - size: 11mb] missing set: Golden Tee Fore! 2003 (v3.00.10) missing rom: g43-us-u.u53 [size: 2176] [CRC32: 51c6f726] [SHA1...

Is anyone here familiar with what MAME expects regarding directory structure, CHDs, and parent-child relationships? I'm at work and don't have the actual text, but when you run a ClrMamePro scan it'll often report that a CHD is missing along with its parent CHD. My confusion is this - are the...

I've been trying to get the activation email sent to me for several days now, but nothing is coming through. And there doesn't seem to be any way to contact the site mods without being registered, so I'm in a catch-22. I've also checked my spam folder, but nada. If anyone here could get a...

Those are good links, thanks. There're also these that I was looking at and referenced in the Linus video: https://www.ultimarc.com/ https://www.mameroom.com/webstore_home.asp It's not the wiring that's daunting for me per-se (though I can see that getting pretty complicated), but the...

Thanks for the links, modi123. I'm nowhere near a machinist, so I'd probably opt for the eBay route (even as expensive as it is). Apparently, from what I read, Atari really nailed it with their yoke...and I can believe it based on my own experience with the SW and ESB cabinets. I can solder...

modi123, yep, that's the one! A really beautiful cabinet, as well. (Is there a technical name for that sort of control scheme?)

I've recently gotten back into the emulation scene and was wondering if any outfit sold equivalents to the old Star Wars-style arcade controller (the first one with the vector graphics and Death Star run). SW (and TESB) really don't work all that well with any other control method. This also...

PM me your address and I'll send you a box of candy for this post, as it is spot-on. I still occasionally sell on eBay, but the fees on top of fees coupled with deadbeat/shill bidders and eBay automatically siding with buyers in any dispute has really soured the experience. I desperately wish...

I was intending to use it primarily for games like Robotron and SmashTV, where the right stick acts as a directional firing mechanism. The last question you raise is the biggie for which I desperately need an answer.

I've been very reticent about investing in twin-stick shooters, as I have a difficult time using the standard Xbox-type controller. I just don't have the thumb dexterity required. Plus, my hands start to cramp after awhile. However, I'm VERY adept with sticks. I was weaned on joysticks, with...

Has anyone run into an issue with WU10 where it'll just sit there for what seems like forever at some percentage before FINALLY moving forward? I just applied the 1607 cumulative update to a laptop and at various points it just seemed to get stuck. And then, at 97%, it must've taken a...

M76, you're a [H]ardForum member after my own heart. I've been advocating for this ever since I was burned (quite badly) by a project creator who never delivered. We all know sites like Kickstarter aren't stores, but that only means there is no existing, already-made stock from which to sell...

You'll probably have to slipstream the latest XP-specific AHCI drivers that match the hardware of the DV6 and make a new, bootable XP system disc, especially if the bios is the no-frills type. nLite can do this with a fair amount of ease. The potentially tricky part will be to find exactly...

I suppose I'm in the tiny minority, but I really enjoyed SG:U and wasn't particularly invested in the parent series. And I only saw a handful of Atlantis episodes and one or two of the movies, none of which grabbed me. SG:U was a terrific nail-biter, though, with a really good cast, including...

I have, at various times, been both pro- and anti-Kickstarter. Pro in the sense that it really is a "last resort" option for people who couldn't otherwise obtain traditional VC backing. Anti in the sense that's there absolutely no accountability in any step of the campaign and funding process...

The problem is that Axanar is still very early in production. We don't know if anything beyond the prelude film has even been shot. For that matter, we don't know what the eventual running time will be. If Paramount acquired Axanar as an officially licensed film, they could either: 1) Let...

Hrrrr. I'm not sure an official acquisition would be best for the fans, though, nor the people involved in its production. Given the way Trek has been heading ever since the reboot, if Paramount took the reins, they could turn Axanar into another mindless shoot-em-up (sorry, but I HATE the...
