Awesome, It doesn't seem like a single AMD card is listed on that page. But the iMacs use Radeon mobile cards, doesn't that seem odd then?

Nice, I haven't picked a GPU yet, but is AMD or Nvidia more supported? Do you still get the drivers from their respective websites, or not?

Do you know if or know how I can find out if: is compatible? i3 2105 + Gigabyte H61N-USB3

I have a lot of Sandy-bridge era hardware and I'm interested in checking if there parts are compatible with OSX and making a hackintosh. I'm also interested in the practice as a whole. I believe I've seen Luke's video on it, but I imagine at this point it's pretty dated, what resources should I check out before making the dive. tonymacx86 seems legit, there are a lot of hardware/software guides, but as far as I can tell it's all newer hardware. Is there an official topic or another forum I should check out, thanks guys. - Simon

I have not tried swapping the cards around. Mobo is on latest BIOS. I'm talking the Nvidia Live chat now, but I doubt that will help. There is no damage to any either of the cards as far as I can tell, and both work great solo. Both bridges where sealed still when I pulled them out... I guess I'll try swapping them and resetting CMOS? That's all I can think of. E: http://i.imgur.com/rrnvU7X.png

I have a PC with a single GTX 970. I bought another GTA 970 for SLI, my CPU, PSU and Motherboard are compatible, i7 4790k, 1000W 80+ platinum, gigabyte z97x ud3h. I plugged in the cards to the x16 slot and x8 slot and plugged in the bridge. Drivers detect both cards, but won't let me turn on SLI because they don't see the bridge. Then I shut down and tried another bridge, because one came with motherboard, one came with new graphics card. Same thing. I then tried the other SLI bridge pluging thingy, nope, then I ran Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstalled my drivers. Same thing. I'm out of ideas, how can I get SLI working? Nvidia Control Panel shows both cards, but will not let me enable SLI, it says: "To maximize 3D performance, connect the SLI-ready graphics cards with an SLI connector." But the bridge is plugged in. And I've tried more than one in each space on the cards.

My buddies and I LAN a lot lately and my case is killing me, the Define R4, while awesome as ever is nearly 40 pounds and I'm thinking about getting a new one, a lighter one, but weight isn't a common spec so I thought I'd ask here. What's the best, light-weight case that would fit my PC? Full ATX Gigabyte z97x ud3h, Regular sized PSU, 1000W Fractal Design Newton, Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (with the backplate), i7 4790k with a Hyper 212. 1x 3.5inch WD Blue and 2x 2.5inch SSDs. I also have 3x 140mm Noctua fans in here, which I'd like to use if possible, but since they are 140mm they would probably have to be replaced with 120mm in most cases. Right now I'm just eye'ing something like a NZXT 210 because cheaper means less features means less weight, not sure though. Thanks guys.

Realtek didn't show in there, redownload the drivers, remove and reinstall the newly downloaded ones, sound works. Gigabyte site was down last night and I got these F5ing it brute force method, my bad. How do I delete this topic, sorry/thanks.

1) not sure, ill check that, 2) yes ofc edit: playback devices>speakers>configure>advanced - all bitrates make the same horrible sound, none of them let the system make noises at all other than that though. i7 4790k, z97x-ud3h, 16gb 4x4 gskill1333mhz, gtx 970, 2x 850 evo, 1x 2tb wd green, two monitors both DVI

My PC and speakers where both working. I decided to reinstall my OS last night (Windows 8.1 64bit, Motherboard is a Gigabyte z97x uh3d.), and now I can't get my sound working. -- I am using on board sound, and the latest drivers from my motherboard's page are installed. No Windows or Application sounds are made, if I go to the playback devices the right device is picked, if I click configure>test the test does make some noises out of the speakers, but horrible distorted ones. What did I do wrong, what can I do to fix it, thanks guys.

Been playing with a VM and I love it, it's just a lot slower than I'd like. I'm ideally going to switch 100% to linux and do everything I need Windows through a VM. I have extra storage on the way, but I'm impatient. I'd also be nice to have a backup even when I do make the switch on my new hardware. Cloning and backups are something I know very little about which would never hurt to learn.

I want to try using Linux (Antergos) as my daily driver, for this I would like to backup my entire Windows boot drive onto my HDD in the same machine (120gb SSD, 400GB free on HDD) and then format and install Linux on the SSD. But if this all goes to shit and I hate it, or for some reason I can't use it to do all the things I need to do, have the chance to restore the entire SSD from the backup and boot into Windows as I normally would. Can I do this? What software would you recommend? Thanks everyone. - Simon

What are those? Oh wow! I had no idea that such powerful video cards would be needed to push this many pixels in windows. But I guess it makes sense. Interesting.

Yeah, for now. I plan on using a couple 2560x1440 Dual link DVI-D monitors as well.

^ title Curious about how much horsepower you need to drive Windows 8.1 general productivity usage, word, light photoshop, light video editing, 4 chrome/firefox windows with 5 tabs each. Something like that. No 3d applications or games, ever, at all. Probably using 2 DP monitors, and 2 DVI (not 4k panels yet, Korean 2k) Can DVI be adapted to DP, yes, right? Thanks!

This is basically a "showerthought" PC build, but I thought you guys might find it as interesting as I do. What are some of the lightest gaming PCs you think you could build? I know my buddy's LAN rig is microATX but as dense and heavy as a black hole, always think I'd prefer it be bigger and lighter when I'm handling it, or even better, smaller and lighter! Since most spec sheets and sites don't list actual weight of hardware it's often hard to impossible to tell before purchase so a lot of this would have to be pieced together from each one of our personal experiences. Which is the main reason for posting this here. Now I'm not actually planning on building this, I just like hardware and this seemed like an interesting challenge. I know for me PCPartPicker is a better game than half my Steam library, and I'll believe some of you out there would have to agree with me. Let's build some light PCs!

There should be a place for Discussion of Vessel videos once we're past the included 5 for sure.

Limelight is an app that pairs any Android phone to a PC with an Nvidia GameStream capable PC. The only way you're allowed to view, navigate or open anything is via Steam Big picture though. I have a 180 mod, custom ini, local save Mod Organizer profile for my Skyrim. SKSE, ENB, normal stuff, Steam doesn't launch MO->SKSE though it just uses the Skyrim Launcher... Pretty much I want to run my modded Skyrim via gamestream, but that seems like quite the task... Steam normally opens Skyrim Launcher, which opens TESV. I could rename SKSE into TESV and run it, which I see people doing when I google this, but then, when I do this, it doesn't have any of my MO mods (or saves, or inis). Anyone have any ideas here. gamestream does NOT allow you to alt tab or anything or it kills the connection, damn you nvidia! Rooted LG G2 and GTX 970 Thanks, Simon

LTT Scrapyard Wars, the Netflix Original series coming next?

Got my GF to sign up and hopefully use it. Username: Kiahama

Username: SimonPDX This is awesome Linus, I was 100% going to sign up monthly just for your channel. Good luck to everyone.

I'm working with, left 1920x1080 and main, this one, 2560x1440. Just bothers me so much that I have to save this 512x1440 area for ugly chat boxes... I'm probably a crazy person, but I thought someone would relate! haha

darn

Here is a picture of my problem: This scene is typical for me, a large browser, but not fullscreen because next to it is a bunch of different chat apps to talk to my girlfriend, co-workers, friends or whoever else. I miss the days when the only chat was AIM. What I want is Rainmeter widgets for these programs, or a combined application for all 3 chat APIs, but as far as I know, Steam and Skype don't release their chat APIs. Since those don't seem to be an option, what can I do to use my screen space better? What do you do? I currently have hotkeys set up in DisplayFusion to snap windows to positions similar to the one seen in my picture, but that's not good enough, it may work in making everything visible, but it's far from pretty...

How are you able to get this to 60? (Mine seems to be 74.99) Sorry for the double post, but with sales I feel like it's justified since we're working under a time limit.
