NeoFrux got a reaction from marksaidso in I can't turn on game-mode on my new TV
Samsung please. You don't think people would want a low-latency mode for a PC? You're locking Game Mode based on the input label? Come on. Thanks for letting us know. This one's going to be good to know for future reference.

Langley is a township in the Greater Vancouver area / Vancouver Metro - If you get a flight to Vancouver International (YVR), you can then get public transit to more or less anywhere in the area.
Langley Regional Airport (YLY) is exactly what it sounds like - A small regional airport that supports general aviation only, so you won't find any flights to or from there.

Who the heck uses PayPal for Kijiji? Use cash. Not using cash for in person transactions is suspicious.

NeoFrux got a reaction from Glaith in Display port to HDMI 2.0
The latency such an adapter would cause is very likely to be less than a frame, and there is no loss in quality going from DisplayPort to HDMI (or DVI for that matter) or vice-versa. Shit be digital, yo.

NeoFrux got a reaction from Glaith in Display port to HDMI 2.0
... What are you even talking about? It's an active adapter that converts DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0. It doesn't do anything but convert the transport layer from DisplayPort (packet-based) to HDMI (TMDS). It doesn't give two shits what type of data is passing through as long as it can interleave the video and audio. It's hilarious that you even thought to mention this, because the Club3D adapter you yourself linked explicitly specifies support for all of the above except for HDR (but does specify support for DP 1.4, which does have HDR support).
DP 1.2 can do 4K, 4:4:4, and 10-bit, though not HDR; HDMI 2.0 is currently the only widely available standard that can do HDR 4K60. Converting from DP to HDMI does nothing to change the amount of bandwidth available on the link. You're still going to get everything DisplayPort 1.2 can do, which again includes 4K60, 4:4:4, and 10-bit. Not that much actually uses 10-bit to begin with, but there you go. Really the only thing you're missing out on versus a shiny new RX 4x0 or GeForce 10x0 is HDR. Considering not much uses that, either (certainly not Skyrim), it's not a big loss.
A note, 4:4:4 refers to the YUV colour system, not RGB. The 290X should be able to spit out both either way.

Oh, that's a good point, I never thought of-
... Oh.
I had a big long post done up here, but that's pretty pointless at this stage. If you persist, I'm just going to go ahead and tune out. The OP wasn't looking for FUD, the OP was looking for answers. These are the answers. Does the OP need a new GPU? No. For Skyrim at 4K60 running anywhere close to 60? Sure. But that's not what the question was. The question was, verbatim, "Is there a cable that will do Display port from my 290x to the HDMI 2.0 port in the TV". The answer is yes, there is, yes, it will work, and no, it will not induce a loss of quality. @AshleyAshes has first-hand proof of that.

Handbrake will work, but will re-encode the file, which is time-consuming and reduces quality. There are frontends for ffmpeg out there, but it's easier to just grab it and run the command than it is to track down a decent one.

Gosh, it's almost like you basically make some kind of television show or something and you have to employ 'The Magic Of Television' at times.

NeoFrux got a reaction from PiGHamM3R in We're out of ideas (Pre-production Job Announcement)
Yeah, from what I gather, LMG has basically had their fill of jumping through legal hoops after the Dennis work permit odyssey. It's not easy on the employer because they need to do a labour market impact assessment and basically get grilled by the government on why a Canadian couldn't fill the position instead. It seems like the "ideal point of entry" for a foreign worker looking to join LMG is to get a work permit and a job with a different employer first, or be an international student with a general work permit. As many Americans are finding, emigrating to Canada isn't exactly easy.
At any rate, I don't expect any of the applicants will have heard back definitively yet. I don't know how many applications they've received, but I imagine it's a non-zero number with at least three digits; That many scripts is a little more than a weekend read. I'm personally hoping for the next "round" to start before Christmas, but that's wishful thinking on my part; @nicklmg is on record saying it'll probably be a couple of months before the dust settles, but that's in total. We'll have to see how things play out from here.
At any rate, to everyone who applied, once again I wish you luck, and I wish @nicklmg and the rest of the team the least amount of sleep loss possible throughout this whole process. High-profile postings like this can't be easy to manage.

NeoFrux got a reaction from Amunak in Holiday Buyer's Guide 2016
Different priorities for different use cases, differing brand allegiances, day-to-day price changes (especially in the run-up to Black Friday) and all that. It's one of the beautiful things about building a PC, really; You get to choose exactly what goes into it and any given list online is more of a suggestion than a hard and fast rule. Disagreeing is totally fine and part of the process. If there were singular "best" configurations for each given price point, then there wouldn't be such a huge field of components to choose from in the first place.

Thank you nick.

I don't believe there is an official deadline, but I'd recommend submitting by 11/20 for best results
I can't guarantee that that means we will be reviewing all applications soon after that date, but I think that would comfortably place you in the "considered" pile!
Replying to that email or submitting a properly labeled email in a new thread to info@linusmediagroup.com would both be considered "acceptable."

Whatever the case, the situation has resolved itself for better or worse, and the best we can do is learn and move on. Let's not keep poking the bear on this one.

Have you tried Dell's website for the drivers?
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/xps-13-l321x/drivers
This link is for a specific XPS 13 and probably not your exact model. Use the 'Detect Drivers' button to get the correct ones.

NeoFrux reacted to Drak3 in M.2 Question
Certain M.2 devices use PCIe, but some M.2 SSDs and slots are SATA III, and some can support both.

NeoFrux reacted to Mira Yurizaki in M.2 Question
I'm going to toot my own horn.
But the tl;dr version is NVMe uses its own PCIe lanes except on LGA 2011v3 motherboards.
EDIT: Okay so I had a closer look at the system you were wanting to use.
NVMe using 4 PCIe lanes will go through the processor's PCIe lanes on X99 chipsets. Otherwise they'll go through 2 lanes. However NVMe drives using 2 lanes are keyed for 2 lanes, so chances are they're only built for 2 lanes.
Either way, there's no appreciable performance improvement for general use when using an NVMe drive over a SATA SSD from what I've experienced.

NeoFrux got a reaction from Dutch-stoner in PC won't fully start
Pretty sure this one doesn't have anything to do with Windows in this case. Couple things to try:
Reset the CMOS Ensure all power connections are secure Got another PSU lying around? Try swapping the PSU and see if there's any change. Pull the GPU, all RAM, and basically everything but the power cables and the CPU+cooler. Does it stay on? If yes, try adding parts back to the equation one by one -
NeoFrux got a reaction from Spicydisco in Will this work?
Absolutely, that all looks good compatibility-wise. You'll want to double-check that the 6100 doesn't already come with a stock cooler, though, because you can save yourself $19.75 if it does (I'm reasonably sure it does). Unless you need one for some other purpose?
