I have no smart-phone. I use an old cellular phone for emergency needs etc. and have a minimal subscription to Verizon.
More and more stores, where I shop, have coupons, other benefits etc. on smart phone applications. I regularly shop at Whole Foods, and Amazon Prime will have a shopping...
I have an almost 5 year old system. CPU is a an I7-3770K, stock speed. Sasmung SSD, 8gig memory. I currently have a GTX 970 video card in it.
I have not played many games in the last year or two. When I did, I could run most setting near max. I would like to start gaming on my TV at or near...
I think that I removed the updates* that cause Windows 7 to upgrade to 10.
I got an email from Microsoft about the upgrade as if I were in the que but I assume that is just a mass mailing versus really triggered by my update situation.
*Here are the KBs that I hide/uninstalled:
KB2952664...
Both are Netgear (GS108 and FS105.) Both have Auto-Sensing and Auto-Uplink.
What I am trying to do: The GS108 is hooked to my router through attic wiring. 3 devices, located by the GS108, are connected to it. Another port on the GS108 is connected, via ethernet cable, to outlet that goes...
Could be a WIndows update:

Microsoft has confirmed that the KB3004394 update it issued on December 10 can cause various problems. What's worse is that it may also prevent...
I have a Dell U2713HM (2560X1440) and 1920X1080 looked normal on it in Far Cry 4 when I tried it. It did not look as good as 2560X1440 but it was not off or bad in a way I would think a native 1080 monitor would have been better - just not as overall sharp as the 1440.
On performance, I did...
Thanks. I will move on to Dragon Age II in a week or so then Dragon Age Inquisition, and will monitor Event Viewer. I just wanted to post the errors in case someone knew of it and it did point to a specific hardware/driver problem someone else has had.
Something I did not notice that makes...
2 nvlddmkm event 13 errors
Both read verbatim:
"The description for Event ID 13 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local...
I touched it but did not thump or bump it.
I have accessed the backup image on it since then, and I copied my latest image, on it, to another drive just now. All went well on that.
My write amplification seems high (around 9x)?
I have had this drive as my main drive for ~2.5 years.
Only thing of high data use that I know I do is a refresh about a 25-30GB image 3 or 4 times a years.
Based on the above, should I be good for many more years?
No vibration on cable.
Yes firmly attached. And I touched the side of my motherboard, in a few places, while it was running and I feel no vibration at all (it is like it would be if not running.) So no vibration from motherboard.
The vibration was not too bad with the SATA cable connected...
I have HDD in my case that I only hookup to make images or refresh images on it.
In the past I always left it unconnected on both the power cable and the SATA cable.
Recently when I refreshed an image, I left the SATA cable (as part of a chain that was also connected to me SSD and a HDD I...
I was just curious about the situation of it seeming more pronounced in how I used the two 6+2 pin cables in the 8 and 6 pin slots in the card versus how it vibrating after switching them around.
I went from a GTX 680 to GTX 970. I started noticing a stronger vibration/low hum from my computer. I narrowed it down to PSU (touching it, I could feel the vibration matching the low hum.) Since the 970 uses less power than the 680, it seemed confusing why this would happen (seems it would...
Thanks. So if card has temperature and power and voltage headroom it boosts even higher. I just raised my power/temperature max and voltage (left clock at stock) and it boosted to mid 1400s.
Per the specs on my Gigabyte GTX 970 G1, the boost is supposed to be to 1329 but mine boosts to 1392 (stock - no manual OCing.) Per RivaTuner/MSI Afterburner, my card stays at 1392 stock throughout while gaming (it also shows my base core speed is 1177 which is basically the same as the...
Perhaps the newer games/and drivers for them are not optimized yet, and the brute force of the 290X gives it a relative edge. I do not know - just throwing this out as a possible variable.
I have Dell U2713HM 1440 monitor, and a GTX 970.
Currently (and all of I have used with the monitor), I am using the dual-link DVI cable provided by Dell.
I do not have displayport cable, and I am wondering if it offers anything I might be missing with the dual-link DVI. When I search the...
At 2560X1440, on ultra, soft shadows, SMAA, I was getting around 27 on my Gigabyte OC GTX 680. I just got a Gigabyte G1 GTX 970, and on same settings it is getting around 46. At that resolution, a 70% increase seems about right I guess.
No he is stating that the GTX970 is the R290x's peer not the GTX 980. The GTX 970 has around the same performance as the 290X often more in games. That is what the graph, cited in the original post as well as many recent test reviews, show. So again, the GTX 970 is the 290x peer and the...
Anyone know about reports that these foundries are having a difficult time at these sizes ( below 20) with extremely low yield potential making it cost prohibited to commercial make below 20nm chips for the foreseeable future (2 years or so.) I have been reading, in investment reports, the...
I am getting a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1.
For overclocking, I would like a program that saves profile to either launch at start-up and easily launch by running the OC program.
Also, I would like one that projects stats (FPS, fan speed, temp in game or better on to my Logitech G13.)
Do MSI...
I cannot find any reliable prices (all ads I can find ask for crazy amounts like $300) for used GTX 680s.
It is a Gigabyte Windforce OC GTX 680. I still have box and manuals etc. I plan to put on Craigslist.
How much would you expect?
Sounds like a very nice monitor and great contrast. It has no PWM (see report below.) Good viewing angles.
It might have more ghosting than other monitors you are considering. Input lag seems normal for a non-gaming specific monitor. Very through report below...
The card is almost 12 inches long with a a very large heat sink and full backplate.
I have a Coolermaster HAF X. I takes up to 13.5 in VGA card. SO I should be fine, although I do not like the idea of it hanging over my drive input cables slots as it will.
Does the size imply a material...
