I can only imagine the space saving in my small bedroom and still be able to have a 60" "TV". And for the price, thats not bad compared to some of the other short throw projectors!

You might need to manually change it in the bios, it usually should switch on its own if it detects a PCIe graphics card, but doesn't always. You'll need to boot from your Motherboard graphics, go into the bios and switch your display adapter to be PCIe (the settings and where the option is located very by vender so you'll need to check your Motherboard manual for further details). Once you do that, save and exit the bios then shut down your machine, plug into the dedicated gpu and it should work. If it doesn't work, then make sure you have your gpu seated all the way into the slot (reseat it if necessary) check to make sure all the PCIe power connectors are properly connected and try again.

Seems like a nice Monitor, especially for someone doing video or photo editing, but unfortunately, with that 8 ms response time, its not gonna be the best gaming monitor, and that's what I'm gonna be using it for primarily. Also, at the current asking price, I might as well shell out the cash for a gaming monitor in the same price point, plus I don't have a use for the extras, such as the USB 3.0 hub or the extra mini displayport for connecting a tablet. I appreciate the suggestion, but its not quite what I'm looking for.

Not a problem, feel free to PM me if you have any other issues with you're setup and need further advice.

Not for me personally, I've used both brands and they worked exceptionally well.

Oh well, my mistake then.

I have, just looking for ideas.

The benchmark scores I looked at, my GTX860M in my laptop can get better FPS then you're getting and your card SHOULD be 4x more powerful then my laptop gpu. I have reason for not buy used components and that why, you run the risk of getting bad parts. Sorry pal, thats a bad position to be in...

R9 270 isn't a bad card, I'm surprised you're seeing those numbers, R9 270 is a decent card, shouldn't be seeing those numbers unless you're trying to do 4k gaming or something. It's possible it's a bad card, you did get it off ebay after all.

They're a little smaller then I like and don't have display port, but they are definitely something to consider if all else fails, thanks!

Makes sense, though I personally would have just dipped the small amount it would have cost to get a single cable. But that's just me, what ever works, works right?

No, most pumps use a standard fan connector, but the pump needs to be supplied full power to function properly, so the cpu header needs to be configured so it doesn't control the voltage or the pwm. I'll use my setup as an example: I have four fan headers on my board, 1 4-pin cpu, 1 3-pin Pwr fan, 2 system fans: 1 3pin and 1 4pin. My pump is connected to the PWR fan header (Which basicly supplies full power to the pump and can't be controlled) My Radiator fans (2) are connected to my 4-pin System fan header via a hub behind my motherboard tray and are controlled via software in the OS rather then by the motherboard. My case fans (4) are connected to the 3-pin system fan header via another hub behind my motherboard tray, though I plan to change this as I discovered I can't control that header. I could easily plug my pump into my cpu header, but I'd need to go into the bios and disable control via the motherboard so the pump receives full power.

To answer the first part, no the fans don't have to be plugged into the motherboard. To answer the second part, the pump needs to be plugged into a fully powered header, if you can configure the cpu header to be full on, then you're fine. as for the fans, its completely up to you. You can get splitters and hubs to plug more then one fan into a header if need be, just keep in mind not to plug to many into one header as they have power limitations.

Dunno, I did a quick search on Youtube before posting and "390 vs." only suggests "390 vs. 960" just went by that. The 290 and 390 cards are nice, but they output way to much heat for my liking.

Um... may I ask if there's a reason why you didn't just get a DVI-D cable for it? Seems a bit redundant to me... :mellow:
