  1. I'm ready to finally upgrade from my aging GTX 660! I am also going to be getting a VR device for my rig too. What I'm wondering is what kinds of benefits can one expect choosing the 1080 over the 1070 for VR applications. Don't worry about non-VR applications as I've made up my mine with those. Any input is welcome and first hand experiences would be perfect!
  2. I am a bit of a networking noob so any insight here would be appreciated. Will running two Ethernet lines from a computer to a switch benefit performance? My guess would be that it would make it more stable to transfer say files around my home network machines also connected to the switch while also still being able to say download files from the internet over the other line at the same time but I have no idea so let me know
  3. Having GeForce Experience alone is a huge plus, makes updating drivers so much easier. Not even mentioning all of the features it includes. From my experience with cards from both brands is Nvidea is more stable but AMD has made great strides in the last several years. Do your research. Pick a budget for your card and look at the benchmarks for the cards in your price bracket
  4. This will definitely help. I've seen this happen a number of times
  5. I had that in mind I really just wanted to use the chassis mainly as I like all the space and the 8 drive sled bays. This might be a question for another thread but is it possible to adapt the two hot swap power supplies to a 24 pin, 4 pin, and other power connectors used by normal atx style boards?
  6. yea a while back when i bought the ssd I cloned it off of this drive. I deleted the partitions on that drive and it was all good, booted just fine. Like you said probably partitions left over from the clone process
  7. Yep I am just speaking as a industry professional. w3 schools is an amazing place to learn all kinds of stuff like this. I'm not saying to post on forums and stuff, just to help you out. I remember being in similar shoes awhile back Also keeping responsive design in mind is a good idea depending on how people will be accessing your site as most everyone has smart phones and tablets now.
  8. what you did also works, death661 also has a good way of doing it. How he has his formatted if more professional and I would recommend that way as it will make your job easier down the road as well as other people's if they ever have to look at it and you are not around to explain it to them
  9. you need to set the widths for each of the divs. by default they will both be 100% unless you specify otherwise. making one 25 and the other 75 should work
  10. I dont want to delete my steam library just the extra partitions. will deleting the reserved and recovery partitions delete the steam library if i dont delete the main partition for that drive?
  11. yea the only files on that drive is my steam library so i should be all good?
  12. So I could delete the reserved and recovery partitions on my secondary (non ssd drive)?
  13. I have an ssd and a mechanical drive in my system and each drive has a system reserved partition on it. Which one is used for the OS? I have attached a picture
  14. awesome that sounds like what im going to do. My thought was to get one of those sata to usb adater cables
  15. I know this sounds kinda monotonous but I'm just trying to go without buying another windows license. Could I setup an initial raid configuration with all 8 drives paired in raid 1s and then clone the OS from my old drive onto one of the raid 1s?
