    They are used for driving my other monitors, I could free one of them. And use a HDMI to DVI for the other. Also, this is a dual input monitor. More specific than just a single adapter like many suggest.

    Which one(s)?

    So I got a crt monitor that is capable of doing some pretty high resolutions (2048 x 1536 @80Hz maximum). Problem is that this monitor has a dual VGA input and what I have available on my graphics card is one HDMI and one DP port. What is the best way to connect this monitor?

    Honestly, Rockstar is the opposite of Bethesda. Instead of welcoming modders, they rather bury them in the ground. Recent takes modders had to make their own version of GTA online were shut down, they even hired private investigators on these guys. All DLC they published is free, but also remember that there are €50 'microtransactions'. So I would argue that not even R* is a good publisher. I do agree on Bethesda not being a great publisher anymore, I lost all respect in them with the paid mods thing. I like how everybody was so mad about this that they decided they wouldn't buy Bethesda games anymore, odd how literally their next title was one of the best sold games before it was even released.

    Cool, still standing behind their quality. Not a lot of companies do that anymore. Not so good news for those who bought these units though.

    I never got my 770 to run the game at respectable settings. They haven't optimised for this card at all it seems, more people with 770's report horrible performance.

    Somebody on this forum has a 295x2, forgot who exactly. He mentioned that you need good cables and good airflow over these cables, because even the cables apparently get hot.

    My experience with Korean monitors is that they are good, but I definitely wouldn't buy one again. The build quality is pathetic, the stand is awful, and what you are getting is a panel that didn't pass quality tests. If I have to buy a 1440p monitor again, I'll buy from a more common brand, but my Korean monitor serves me well for now.

    I'll add to this, the ps2 and psp are both worth the buy. They are really cheap and have a massive collection of good games. I recently got the complete Burnout franchise for the ps2, which is my personal favorite racing series. I tried a lot of racing games on PC, not a single one I enjoyed as much as one of the Burnout games on ps2. And I got a psp for 20 euro, seller said it was dead, but only the battery was dead, so it was an easy fix. Softmodded the psp and now I'm waiting for the microsd adapter to arrive. The psp uses Sony's proprietary SD cards which are really expensive nowadays (20 euro for 4GB is normal), adapters to microsd on the other hand are dirt cheap.

    I would do a fresh install, cloning isn't worth it simply because of all the junk they have installed on these laptops. After installing Windows you need to install all the drivers, which can found on the manufacturer's site.

    True, cars are the first thing I think of with that statement. They never needed computers, but that massive tablet in the middle sure sells.
  13. Diederik_Gr
    Good point, but we had a need for something that has internet and could do small tasks on the go. Otherwise laptops would not have been a thing. I don't get where the need for this fridge comes from?

    Yay, another title with little challenge and one button hacking. Let's see how much they advertise the graphics this year, they sure blew us away with the graphics they showed last time. Right?
  15. Diederik_Gr
    That may just be the truth. I don't get why at this point, because we have smartphones that can do a lot of the given tasks already. Do we really need to innovate fridges?
  16. Diederik_Gr
    This is going like I expected, the smartphone market blew up and went sky high in a couple of years and now the blast is over. Demand lowers because 'upgrading' is hardly a thing now, if you have a decent phone from the last 2 years you still wouldn't find a massive upgrade for it today.

    Retribution: Ride to Hell. It's so bad that you play it only to see how bad it is.

    Subtle commercials like the ones mentioned above are fine by me, adds a little to the realism of the game as well. Burnout Paradise advertises X58 Evga boards is another example. Anything that demands the ad to be all over my screen is annoying and I'd rather pay at that point.

    I got my hands on a Dell AT101W with the Alps Black switches. Bought it for €10 from a thrift shop, a shopkeeper there saw me diving through the membrane keyboards and must have noticed how I checked the click on each keyboard. He came up to me and talked about how he kept the mechanical keyboards seperate and that they usually go to the workers of the shop. I asked him if he was willing to part with any of his mechanical keyboards and he showed up later with this beauty. So this will be my project for the holidays,I want to clean it and use it as a daily driver, having it replace my €140 Corsair K70.

    Cant use PS/2

    Diederik_Gr replied to a topic in Peripherals

    I found this video that some people apparently had luck with (others not though): A guy in the comments on that video talked about how the device showed up with an error on device manager (under hidden devices) and that he got it working after removing them (in the device manager) and rebooting. I also found this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/mouse-and-keyboard-input-not-working-after-windows/55311f4a-97eb-4b12-95bd-7d3743e930dc?page=6

    Okay, didn't know Steelseries supported PS/2, my bad. Can you get into the BIOS using the PS/2 connector?

    I don't think that keyboard can work over PS/2. Like I said, it's only very specific keyboards that those adapters can work with.

    First off, make sure the PS/2 ports aren't disabled in the BIOS. On some motherboards they are considered as legacy and only work in the BIOS and are disabled anywhere else. Second is that those converters from USB to ps/2 more often than not don't work. These adapters only work on specific keyboards, manufacturers are likely to include these adapters with their keyboards if they can be converted. Third is that PS/2 needs to be connected from boot, you apparently can't connect them while a computer is running. I got a PS/2 keyboard running on Windows 10, so it's still supported. Don't worry.
