    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    I did not in fact uninstall the Intel drivers before the Nvidia ones. I uninstalled them after installing the Nvidia drivers, a few days later in fact. They are the latest ones though off Nvidia's website. I need to determine whether my issue is related to drivers/power/heat. I very much...

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    Yes, videos in media players. The exact same thing happens regardless of player (like VLC or WMP). It isn't a major difference, but I see some minor ringing artefacts around the edges of objects/people in the vids I watch (especially true if the vid is watched full screen), which weren't present...

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    Ok the Zotac GT 430 Zone is installed and its running both my 1080p displays fine. Only issue I am now having is video playback. It doesnt seem to scale low res videos as well as the integrated graphics that was previously installed. Videos seem a little less clear and fuzzy. Any ideas?

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    Ok I have emailed Zotac and they sent me the brochure and have confirmed that it can support two displays in 2560x1600 (so both ports running in Dual-link mode). I'm nearly ready to order the card from amazon now seeing as it is only £50, and amazon are a reputable company who will honour any...

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    I'm steering more towards the GT 430 Zone because of these reasons: a) the GT 430 Zone (hopefully) supports two Dual-DVI outputs, which I may need as the monitors won't have HDMI 1.4a ports. Or are you telling me that a GPU with HDMI 1.3 ports can display 2560x1600 over a HDMI cable if you use...

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    Thanks for your inputs. Apparently, though, I think the U3011 does not have 1.4a HDMI ports, and as far as I know I will need both the GPU and the monitor to support 1.4a it for it to be able to display 2560x1600 over HDMI. I am currently emailing Zotac to confirm whether the GT430 Zone...

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    It seems at least the Zotac has two Dual-DVI ports. On amazon if you click technical details it says it supports 'DVI 2 (DVI-I), HDMI 1 (mini-HDMI w/ bitstreaming support)' and the picture seems to show two dual-DVI ports...

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    Excellent, they seem like the cards I need. I just need to confirm whether they are both dual-link DVI and that they support dual 2560x1600 output. I'm based in the UK by the way. I will do some googling to see if they do but if anyone knows please let me know. Thanks.

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    I use my computer for web browsing, media, and general office tasks (word/excel/adobe pdf), and I run a youtube channel so I render a video at least once a month using Corel VidStdio and/or Vegas. My two 1920x1080 displays are great for productivity, but they just do not provide enough...

    Failblog.org used to be interesting, what happened?

    It's still going strong as far as I can see. Watch the TV smash fail if you want to see the latest one.

    Graphics card to run 2x 2560x1600 displays? (non-gaming)

    Hi guys, I need some good advice about the best way to run 2x 2560x1600 displays for NON-gaming. My rig currently has no gpu - I use HD 3000 graphics that come with the i5 2500K, and they allow me to easily run 2x 1920x1080 displays. However, I will soon be upgrading to a U3011 (and then...

    Dell u2711 Backlight Variation Problem

    Hi, unless im mistaken that looks like absolutely horrible backlight bleed. I think you was just unlucky in that respect because every monitor can suffer from the problem, but that looks like a particularly bad case. Usually backlight bleed is only noticeable on blacks, and most panels suffer...

    Dual dvi graphics card for two monitors (non-gaming)

    Yes I am looking at this card (EVGA GT 430 Dual-DVI) although it is not currently out in the UK. I think that would be perfect? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqMDZuSxU84

    Dual dvi graphics card for two monitors (non-gaming)

    Hi thanks for your inputs, Yes it seems the card I was looking at is overkill for my needs. I'm interested in the low-profile GeForce 210 throckmorton suggested, but it doesn't support dual dvi which is what I wanted really. I wanted to keep the HDMI ports on my monitors free so that I can...

    Dual dvi graphics card for two monitors (non-gaming)

    Hi guys, Im currently looking at this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Radeon-H.../dp/B002SP113K Will that easily run two monitors from DVI? Its within my budget

    Dual dvi graphics card for two monitors (non-gaming)

    Hi guys, I currently have 2 identical (1920x1080) monitors that I want to connect to my pc for a dual screen setup. Im currently using the integrated graphics that come with the i5 2500k (Intel HD 3000), which supports two monitor setups but only DVI + VGA and not DVI + HDMI - you cant have...

    Any H67 Motherboards With Dual DVI Output?

    Mine (Asus P8H67-M Pro) comes with DVI, HDMI and VGA outputs. The manual states that it can support dual digital outputs simultaneously (DVI + HDMI) but I have been unable to verify it, because currently there is a BSOD issue with Intels HD 3000 graphics over HDMI on H67 mobos. Intel are fixing...

    BSOD with HDMI on H67 mobo

    Yes true. I dont suppose you know this question too while you are here. Basically, this motherboard is 'supposed' to support dual displays through a number of combinations (DVI + VGA, DVI + HDMI and HDMI + VGA). I have tried DVI + VGA for my two monitors and it works fine, but obviously the vga...

    BSOD with HDMI on H67 mobo

    Yes the latest 1002 version.I'v done a bit of googling and it turns out that its a known issue on H67 mobos that run Intel 3000/2000 graphics, and Intel are working on an update for it so I guess I will have to wait: http://communities.intel.com/message/125270#125270

    Dual digital display outputs on H67 mobo?

    Hello people, I currently have an ASUS P8H67-M Pro motherboard, using the Intel integrated 3000 graphics that came with the 2500k cpu. I would like to know if this setup can support dual digital outputs - can I have 2 monitors connected via DVI and HDMI simultaneously? OR does one have...

    BSOD with HDMI on H67 mobo

    Hi, This issue is really bugging me at the minute. I have an ASUS P8H67-M Pro motherboard, with all the latest chipset and graphics drivers using the integrated Intel 3000 graphics that came with the 2500K, but whenever I connect the PC to the monitor (BenQ 2420HD) via HDMI it BSODs. This...

    24" monitor for 360 gaming

    Most xbox games run at 720p natively and are upscaled to 1080p if you run it on a display that can handle that resolution. Some games run at a constant 60fps though, ie Cod MW2. Anyway, that still doesnt help me pick a monitor...

    24" monitor for 360 gaming

    Yes im from UK, can buy from Amazon and Dell. Most panels that are out in the US are also out in the UK so its really no problem - its just picking the right monitor :). I was thinking about the U2311, does anyone use this for gaming on the 360?

    24" monitor for 360 gaming

    I'm looking for a decent 24" monitor for gaming on my 360 (will go as high as £250 if its 'really' good). I'm not going to bother with the more expensive TN 120Hz panels because 360 games run at 60fps, and you can only really (apparently) get the benefit out of these displays if you are...

    New GFX card for H67 mobo?

    What about the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti at £191 ($312) compared to the EVGA GeForce GTX 460 Super Clocked £143 ($234)? Is the 80$ premium worth it do you think?

    New GFX card for H67 mobo?

    I can get something like an MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti TWIN FROZER for £199 ($325), or an EVGA GeForce GTX 460 Super Clocked for £143 ($234). The other 460 models seem to be more expensive, going all the way up to £220 ($360) for something like the 2GB Zotac GeForce GTX 460. I have...

    New GFX card for H67 mobo?

    I should of mentioned I'm from the UK, £250 is my budget (which is roughly $400). Obviously I don't want to waste money if the 560 is overkill, but seeing as it means I probably wont have to upgrade it for a few years, it seems like the better investment than the 460 - especially if I do...

    New GFX card for H67 mobo?

    Thanks Dave, I will likely get a 560 (more specifically the Gigabyte Super Overclock one). One last thing, my psu is a corsair 430w - will I need to upgrade this, and if so will any decent 500w psu run a 560? Thanks again

    New GFX card for H67 mobo?

    Ok guys, My current system is an i5 2500k on a P8H67-M Pro Mobo (yes I cnt overclock it but I wanted the HD 3000 gfx for £8 more than the 2500 and it has better resale value). Anyway, I game primarily on the xbox, so I didnt see the need to add a dedicated gpu if I wasn't going to be gaming...
