I also have 2 identical 4TB HDDs in my computer -one of them is quite full with important data and the other one is completely empty.

    With what desktop GPU is Iris Plus 640 comparable?

    Thanks a lot, actually I got a reply in another forum and apparently the Iris Plus 640 is comparable to a NVidia GT740 video card. Not exactly what I had hoped for but still good considering the form factor. All the best.

    With what desktop GPU is Iris Plus 640 comparable?

    Hello, I cannot find any direct comparison between the Iris Plus 640 GPU and any other desktop GPUs. Which makes sense I guess considering these are two completely different classes GPUs. I am just curious though with what desktop GPU is Iris Plus 640 comparable in terms of gaming? I realize it...

    Any way I can use the iOS controller Steelseries Stratus XL on PC or Android?

    Hello, I recently purchased a Steelseries Stratus XL controller, the version that is for iOS devices. Since I have iOS, Android and a full blown Windows tablet I was wondering if there was ANY way to use it on the other platforms too? Is there a hack or a program that would allow me to achieve...

    Western Digital My Book 3TB- what are the rps speeds?

    Thanks Elixer :) just downloaded CrystalDiskinfo and checked my current hard drives- it gave me accurate RPS readings. As soon as I receive my external WD I will test it too. As for doing a full format- are you saying that will fix possible bad sectors? I thought bad sectors were supposed to be...

    Much appreciated, Yakk. Any ideas about what's the best software to use to check for bad sectors? Does Western Digital have it's own? Anyone?

    Western Digital My Book 3TB- what are the rps speeds?

    Thanks a lot for the info, Yakk. By the way- I don't have the hard drive yet- it has been shipped to me, currently waiting for it. Was your last one My Book too?

    Can't run monitor in 4K at 60 Hz with new NVidia drivers

    Thanks for the helpful link, will definitely check it out. Though I think I found out what the problem was- I forgot to mention I have a dual monitor setup (2560x1440 via DVI and 4K via DP)and as it appears running both at 60Hz is just too much for my ageing GTX 670. Once I unhook the 2560x1440...

    Can't run monitor in 4K at 60 Hz with new NVidia drivers

    Hi all, I have a Windows 10 Pro, GTX 670 4GB and Philips BDM4065UC 4K monitor here and have been having this problem forever- I can run it in 4K at 60Hz but only with very old NVidia drivers (352.84). Anything newer than that would cause the monitor to only run at 29 Hz or 30HZ, the option for...
