  1. I just got a new monitor for photo editing and graphic design, plugged it into my 970 with a display port, switched both in the Nvidia settings to 10bpc and Photoshop settings to support 30bit, yet the test ramp file from this website still show banding. Any help? I google, and there are conflicting posts as to whether consumer grade cards support 10bit or only available on Quadro cards, or some not supporting OpenGL 10bit. What's the situation on how to get 10bit? Why are there so little resources on compatibility guides?
  2. I'd like a Razer Blade Stealth, my Lenovo Yoga just broke earlier this year and it costs about the same to repair it as a new laptop I know this doesn't have a touchscreen I can fiddle with to draw, but nonetheless with a drawing tablet (that I do have), it'd work great.
  3. Folding started with folding @ home, a way for users to donate computing power to universities to complete protein folding. I have heard of some people turning it into a criptocurrency, but that is not where the concept comes from nor it has taken off.
  4. I want an h440 to match my black/green peripheral colors, so either the razer one or the black/green one; I was wondering if both of those got the new edition treatment last year (better fan hub, nicer hdd caddys and bigger vents), or wether my choices are limited to the black/white, all black, black/blue, and black/red that came out last year on the revision.
  5. Yo, Chill out man, it's hard to make up what went wrong since you're panicking and your post doesn't really make sense. It seems like your problem is software based which means that the 1800 that you spent on hardware should be working all good and dandy. Could you be more specific as to what happened? Also, you could be more detailed with what you have, that is information that could help. If you want to reformat your computer, as you believe that could solve your problems, you can do that with the USB stick with Windows on it. Not sure of what version of Windows you have but you should be able to boot to it (when you turn on your computer you should have an option to press del to show boot devices.) From the usb boot menu you should be able to reformat your disk drive and then you can reinstall windows again on it. Don't freak out, computers are not gonna self-destruct just by deleting a thing here and there.
  6. Probably just gives you more room to overclock.
  7. If your TV has hdmi, that should work just fine. Some TVs also have vga and even dvi. Steer away from vga as this is analog, dvi could only be relevant if your TV does more than 60hz.
  8. Depends on what your TV and your mobo/graphic cards takes. We need more info to what you have. BUT, standardly, you should be able to connect by hdmi unless you have old pc/gpu.
  9. It'll be hard to know if you'll be able to put the cooler on a different card unless you have knowledge on how to do this. This is what the cooler looks like on the backside , the white spots are heatpads designed for the vram chips and other elements on the pcb (the black things around the processor in this picture). If you misplace them, or not cover all the required elements (the layout of which can change between cards and generations) , you might end up with a card lacking some vram or even just a dead card.
  10. Not tru, video editing is more cpu-intensive while gaming is obviously gpu-intensive. I would recommend an i7 to efficiently edit videos (cheapest is $350 for a 4790k, and it's not even skylake), and I would recommend a R9 380 or 960 for 60fps on mediums settings (that's about $220). You could obviously do video editing with an i5, but encoding time would take forever (it took me about 30-40 mins to transcode a 10 min video with my i5-3570k), and I can only reliably stream on 480p/60fps with what I have. Trying to go 720p makes me drop a lot of frames.
  11. Here you would need to make a choice: streaming, gaming, or budget? Budget would only work when buying used.
  12. seriously op, make sure you're wearing rubber on your feet, anti-static wristband, and don't touch anything that could kill you.
  13. Definitely change the PSU. Converting a 6 pin to 8 pin is not a good idea, and being under the recommended minimum could also damage your card. I would be more careful playing with wattage like that as it can screw up a lot and end you costing more.
  14. They should, specially considering it's the same manufacturer. Hard is tho looking towards in the future and trying to keep one "standard," if a CPU changes size.
