    Windows 8.1 poor 120Hz UI performance

    Hi! On a 120hz monitor, I noticed Windows 8.1 x64 RTM has very poor window movement compared to Windows 8 x64. It makes the OS feel kinda sluggish compared to 8. Has anyone else noticed this? here is a video example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WPh57xymIU Specs: Windows 8.1 x64 Pro...

    Steam UI responsiveness

    Hi! I find Steam UI not very responsive. I compared to Origin, and I wonder if there are anyone else with the same issue? Here is a video of this issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EBASZ5lldE

    NYTimes.com silently removes paragraph from Euro-Style Anxiety Spreads article

    Hi! I noticed something strange. I usually create quotes and a link to the actual article on my smartphone and archives them later. But this article, and entire paragraph vanished. The article does not state it was updated. This is probably nothing, but I thought I'd get some feedback...

    EAX 5.0, HDMI, speaker EQ and digital loudness EQ

    Whoo! Tight and deailed audio, excellent bass and less audio lag in older games. What is this? the auzentech x-fi hometheater hd and denon 2809. The auzentech x-fi card provides x-fi chip/ eax 5 and hdmi output. The denon 2809 adds speaker eq correction, timing and most importantly dynamic...

    Power Supply Squeal survey

    They are, and are supposedly good design and good components: - Not only this design proved to be superior, but Corsair/CWT decided to use only high-end components inside this unit, which features only Japanese capacitors and solid caps on the DC-DC converters in charge of the + 5 V and +3.3...

    Power Supply Squeal survey

    I might go for a Corsair AX850W, seems to be quieter than the TX850W and HX850W - however it was inaudible in this test and throughout testing for the most part. If anything, there was just a slight bit of noise at full load that was noticeable once the unit had been shut off...

    Why aren't there H-IPS clear panel LCD monitors with RGB LED and 120Hz refresh rate?

    hmm yes. I'm surprised theres so few >60Hz LCD monitors out there. Users are reviewers trying out a 120hz monitor all rave about how smooth the desktop is, and solid 3d games look. Even my linux brother was impressed with an lg w2363d. The competition doesn't work good enough, or too good, or...

    Windows sure is slow at copying.

    Was that to/from a USB or NAS drive, or was it internal connections or esata? USB and NAS is very slow at tons of small files, and poor access times. Check out USB 3.0 reviews, usb 3 is fast but eSATAp will beat it in access time and small files. This is the nature of the usb bus compared to a...

    Power Supply Squeal survey

    How about ATI Tool? I'm after a distinct, and annoying squeal. There have been reports of Seasonic X750 squealing. Your XFX 6950 may have a good power regulator then :) Seasonic X750 PSU makes highpitch whine under load http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/617460.aspx the gtx 200 and...

    Power Supply Squeal survey

    Hi! I'm quite sure it is not the fan, I can stop it with a plastic pin and no change in squealing. It is very distinct, and changes pitch with the FPS I get. ATI tool it varies up and down, and other games it is one pitch for 1000fps, and another for 1800fps (menus in quake 3 and crysis)...

    Power Supply Squeal survey

    Hi! I am after a new PSU since the two Mist 650W (rev 4.0 and 3.5) squeal when I have high FPS in games or certain loads on the GPU. A survey would show which PSUs are the safest to bet on. Please post Motherboard CPU Graphics Card PSU and which components you can hear squeal...

    Can this be fixed?

    If you did not force it it is probably a faulty connector. You could ask if they would accept an RMA. If theres a weakness in the design or component they would like to hear about it.

    Video card squeal

    Change your PSU or replace your graphics card to a MSI one. The power circuits on recent graphics cards seem to make certain PSU squeal. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2009/05/29/msi-solves-the-nvidia-gtx-squealing-problem/1 - SSC (Solid State Chock) for No Buzz noise...

    video card (probably) squeal in NWN main menu and ONLY there

    You did not replace your PSU? It seems that graphics cards these days can make certain PSUs squeal whine. RMA that PSU if its still under warranty and say it squeals with eVGA GTX260 SC. It probably squeals with a 285 and gtx 480/470 too. Try a MSI graphics card if you cant replace your PSU...

    video card (probably) squeal in NWN main menu and ONLY there

    No I think hardware manufacturers should make tighter components that do not squeal under various loads. What if some type of GPGPU program like folding at home or video transcoding made the hardware squeal? V-sync create a lot of input lag, unless it is triple-buffered or rendering three...

    Run 3 monitors off of GTX580?

    Wow that looks awesome.. Better than arcade. Display outpout options is a feature NVIDIA should improve. Seems to be their "output logic," probably embedded on the GPU, right? - The card has two DVI ports and one one mini-HDMI port. According to NVIDIA the card also supports DisplayPort if...

    Monitor refresh rate matters?

    Havent you guys read any 120hz LCD 3d monitor reviews? They often rave about how much a difference 60hz to 120hz is. The ASUS VG236H was my first exposure to 120Hz refresh displays that aren’t CRTs, and the difference is about as subtle as a dump truck driving through your living room. I...

    Monitor refresh rate matters?

    Correct terms are always needed for a good discussion. Anywa, if your game does not manage to go over 60FPS, the sample-and-hold smearing will be the same as a 60hz LCD monitor. Except mouse movement in Windows and games with a mouse pointer. Unless the pointer is part of the 3d engine and is...

    Any word on 1920x1200+ 120Hz LCDs?

    Room for two windows 7 taskbars are a considerable amount of real estate. 16:9 is good for movies, but for everything else PC, 16:10 is much better. Especially with hte new ribbons menus, tabs and of course the windows 7 task bar. I¨ve used both 23" 16:9 and 24" 16:10 and definately waiting for...

    GeForce GTX 285 shimmering textures (Video)

    Just thought I should relive this issue. GeForce GTX 285 with shimmering textures. Drivers 285.96. This issue is a bit annoying and affect the game immersion. I hope NVIDIA fixes this soon. I am not sure if it is due to the less-than-perfect Anisotropic Filtering compared to ATI/AMD radeon 5870...
