It's not that; I'm hard-wired into an 80 mbps connection. It's something wonky with YouTube TV and this beta-driver that's causing issues. Just to be sure, I ran like eight 4k streams on Netflix, Youtube (regular), and Vimeo simultaneously and had no issues. It's just YouTube TV (and now...

Interestingly, the last driver for my card is an WHQL driver, which will not allow me to play HD videos through Youtube TV. But, the latest beta is a "non-WHQL" driver, which works for YouTube TV. The problem is that, whenever I play HD content on YouTube TV, my screen blinks every 30 seconds...

YoutubeTV is, as I understand it, a new streaming service in select regions that allows users to watch live TV (35 channels or so) via the familiar Youtube interface. As noted, I was limited to 480p when watching on my PC (up to 1080p available on mobile and streaming through Chromecast)...

Edit: Someone elsewhere tells me this card only has HDMI 1.3 and HDCP is only supported on HDMI 2.0. Yes Win10. In terms of drivers, I think I have the latest. Here's what my AMD Settings app says:

I came to that conclusion because: Youtube TV doesn't play in HD when plugged into the card (but it does when plugged into mobo). The Sapphire website doesn't say anything about HDCP. Newegg and Amazon listings say nothing about HDCP in the specifications. I found no webpage on the entire...

Hi, I have an extreme noob question. And, I have a feeling the answer is obvious, but I have no idea how to figure it out short of asking you fine folks. I'm still using my first build, which contains the following relevant parts: GPU: SAPPHIRE 100374OCL Radeon R9 285 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 CPU...

Something happened to my personal build that really took me by surprise a few weeks ago. My Corsair modular PSU went bad (rattling fan), so I replaced it with a EVGA modular PSU. Little did I know that the SATA cable between the two manufacturers looks physically identical, but actually has a...

How safe is it to buy a used CPU, say, for example, on Craigslist? Someone near me happens to be selling one on CL for $200. While my research suggests that a CPU is one of the safer components to buy for a computer (as it has no mechanical parts), some articles suggest that heavy or...

I've been using a modest first build for a little while and I'm trying to upgrade my CPU. I'd appreciate some guidance on which is the better option between the two Options identified below: Current build: Motherboard: ASRock H97M-ITX/AC Mini ITX LGA1150 CPU: Intel Core i3-4370 3.8GHz...

I was being hyper-focused on ram, so instead, I looked at CPU, which would occasionally show Photos Background Task Host running and taking 40% of CPU. I researched and re-registered all Windows apps, and I'll see if that makes a difference. Much of the frustration with this exercise is that...

I don't know where else to turn to. I've spent so much goddamn time trying to figure this out, but I just don't know enough to do enough. Problem: During any usage, whether it is word processing, surfing, video editing, or looking at photos, I get random lag spikes where the mouse will stutter...

Thanks again. I may need to bail on the video card upgrade because that (and other) cards that support 3 monitors all require much more juice than I have. For example, the card you linked requires 400w (probably an overestimation), but I only have 255w. Jeez, I need a new work computer.

Lol. Thanks for the info. Yes, the computer is old as hell and it's LGA775 (Core2Duo E8600), so based on what @Cerb says, it's one or the other. I'm definitely looking into the USB --> DVI as we speak. I'm going to have to wait, however, as someone else in the company has already started...

So, the VGA port seems to be inactive. I was poking around on the internet and found this thread, where someone says that no computer can simultaneously output from the on-board video output and add-in video card. http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/t/19340101...

Thanks so much for the insight. Will the VGA on the mobo work simultaneously with the DVIs on the video card? IT thought it might be disabled by default or something. **Edit** Actually, upon review, there is a small black plastic cover over the VGA that has what looks like a no-smoking sign...
