  1. I don't remember the last time I used audio captured by QuickTime so I can't say anything about that but the framerate and overall image quality is always very good.
  2. I think I first used it around version 10.9 of OS X and never had an issue.
  3. What is it missing? I've been using it for years and it seems to have every feature I would possibly ever need. That being said I have never tried anything else as every alternative recommended was paid.
  4. I don't think what you're saying is true. Brands like Sony pay much bigger sums to place a product placement in a TV show or movie. It can't just be that Apple provides the product to them, because that's like 700$ for a phone and 2000$ for a computer. If they are however paying to make their brand visible, it has to be disclosed - which it's not in any of the shows.
  5. Quick question, sorry for digging that post up. Is there actually any proof that Apple actually paid for a product placement in a movie or TV show? I know there are plenty but it seems that they are not paid. The reason I'm asking is I was researching that a few weeks back for a school project and hadn't been able to find any example where Apple paid for a product placement or directly sponsored a movie/show. Thanks!
  6. He has access to these devices on a daily basis so there technically isn't anything stopping him from switching every week or maybe using two phones (work/personal). That being said the iPhone 7 with the white marble skin can be seen fairly often in his videos. Speaking from experience it's a really good phone.
  7. Yes I do and tried to put it in the bottom slot. It still only boots up sometimes. iGPU setting does not make a difference either My BIOS is the newest from Gigabyte (and looks awful IMO). I have a newly bought Cooler Master 650W 80+ Gold semi-modular power supply.
  8. The priority is set to PCI-E slot 1 where my GPU is seated. It was tested in another system as I mention in the post.
  9. I even reformatted the SSD since then. I can only once per several times to boot it from the dedicated GPU without making any hardware changes. The problem still persists. What exactly should I check in the BIOS? If it's booted up from the internal graphics card, 970 isn't detected. If it's booted from the 970 then everything is recognised..
  10. Everything is correctly plugged in. I know in fact that the graphics card would display a "PCI-E cable isn't plugged in' if it wasn't
  11. Hi! A while back I built a new Skylake PC. i5 6400 with intention to BCLK overclock it, Gigabyte Z170M-D3H, 16GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM and MSI GTX 980. So everything came through except the graphics card which seemed to be lost in shipping. Meanwhile my sister was on holiday so I "borrowed" her GTX 970 since I thought it won't be a problem to change it afterwards and I wanted to enjoy my new rig. Everything was going perfectly with this build, everything worked without a hitch. Here's when it gets real. The 980 came and when I put it in my PC, replacing the 970 which wasn't mine. The computer seemed to be booting up but there was no signal output onto either of my monitors. I plugged in the internal graphics and it booted up fine. I thought the graphics card was faulty. I put it into my sister's PC (i5 4460, B85 8GB RAM, 500W PSU) and it worked without a problem, recognised in GeForce Experience. Weird I thought. I went back to the 970 then to see if I may have broken the motherboard. Interestingly enough, my PC was able to boot up with the GTX 970 just fine. But when I went to reboot it, the same thing happened like the GTX 980 - it was booting off the internal graphics. Now here's my current situation. I need to turn the computer on and off about 10-20 times till it boots of the dedicated GPU instead of the internal. I know that both graphics cards are working in the 2nd computer. What I tried doing is trying out the other PCI-E slot, disabling integrated graphics in the BIOS, updating and downgrading BIOS and resetting the whole BIOS including CMOS. The PC still boots of the internal graphics even if both monitors are plugged in to the graphics card! But when I reset it a couple of times, it works. What can I try before returning the motherboard as faulty? It's Incredibly annoying because I will need to disassemble the whole PC, wait and then rebuild. In addition to that, I both game and do content creation on this PC, each of these things require different operating systems in my case (macOS & Windows) which this issue makes it impossible to switch between them.
  12. If you want to try Android then the Pixel is the way to go. I'm personally really happy with my iPhone 7 Plus but if Apple isn't your thing anymore then there are no better options than from Google themselves. What actually made me switch from Android to an iPhone 5s (then 6s Plus and now 7 Plus) is the poor updates support, tragic after sale support and really bad app experience compared to friends with iPhones. Most of these things aren't that big of a factors nowadays but it's not enough for me to switch back, especially now that I own an Apple Watch and MacBook which in my opinion are the best devices in their respected categories.
  13. Here Purchased one couple weeks ago for my friend in Poland, because there they genuinely aren't available anywhere.
  14. I'm pretty much in the same situation as you. I have my i5 6400 BCLK OC'd to 4.0GHz just because I didn't feel the need to go any further and it's running great..
