    In terms of pure audio quality,there not that great in terms of that.I would look at the Sony MDR 1000X if you can afford it or the UrbanEars Platann ADV.On the wired side,I would get the 280 pro and call it a day

    The Salt Is REAL reacted to Nothin Toxic in No color on Windows on one of the HDMI ports on my GTX 1080?   
    Been looking around for answers (as I'm sure you have too).
    Suggestions listed by the amount of effort to test:

    Reset your display settings ("Adjust the desktop colour settings") in the nvidia control panel to default.
    Make absolutely sure you have the latest drivers / roll back to earlier drivers if you do. 
    Use DDU to uninstall the drivers, then get new ones.

    I really can't see how it could be a hardware fault, as a broken hdmi port would simply stop working... Then again, when has logic / reasoning ever applied to these things?  

    I really hope you can get this solved, sounds super annoying.

    Picture a shooting game with MMORPG-like mechanics and loot similar to diablo/borderlands just not as randomized.
     
    So open world, shooting things, cooperative or competitive gameplay, levelling up and character skills/classes.

    a) not worth getting another 1080 let alone 2 1080 tis
    b) 4k 60fps gaming is not quite at the point where we should invest thousands of dollars into it.  Wait a year (or for vega) and then 4k gaming will be more "worth it"

    Well ye, I made the assumption the OP "needed" more power hence the question and I figured if OP has the funds to sell a 1080 and buy 2x 1080 ti he/she would be better off going with Ryzen and a single 1080ti since it runs everything 4k anyway - If that CPU was unlocked it wouldn't be quite so bad (and again I'm not saying its a bad CPU - same as earlier) I just feel a nice 16 thread CPU + fast DDR4 and a single 1080ti would offer a more balanced experience going forwards

    THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BRINGING US TO 3 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE!!
     
    Y'all are bae. That's why we've partnered up with Razer to give away one NEW Razer Blade 14, and one NEW Razer Blade Stealth (full specs listed in the announcement video), with a custom graphic designed by our very own Edzel Yago  .
     
    RULES OF THE GIVEAWAY:
     
    1. One entry per user. Duplicate posts and posts from duplicate accounts will be deleted before a winner is drawn, to leave one post per person.
     
    2. Winners will have 72 hours to respond. If a winner does not respond within that time, a new winner will be drawn.
     
    3. This is a worldwide giveaway with no age restrictions. Shipping costs will be covered by the shipper, but any duties/taxes/other fees upon delivery will be the sole responsibility of the winner.
     
     
    Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, OMG THIS IS AWESOME HOW DO I WIN ONE???:
     
    1. Comment below letting us know which Razer laptop you would prefer to win. Feel free to make it fun - what would you use it for? Why do you prefer the Blade or the Blade Stealth?
     
    2. This is not a REQUIREMENT for entry, but you should definitely follow Razer on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube page. In addition to providing the laptops for this awesome giveaway AND sponsoring our trip to PAX, they work with a plethora of other incredible creators in a number of spaces, and release cool content with some of them on a fairly regular basis. Please support them on social media and Tweet at them thanking them for this giveaway!!
     
    3. Check back in one week. Entries for this giveaway will close on Monday, September 12, and winners will be chosen soon after. Winners will be messaged by me here on the forum. Do not accept any other form of communication as legitimate, and do not share personal information with anyone who asks for it unless you can confirm that they are a legitimate source.
     
    That's it!! If I've missed anything, feel free to let me know.


    GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ENTERING, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY
     
     
    EDIT:
     
    Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
     
    @Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
     
    Thanks everyone.
     
     
    EDIT2:
     
    Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

    But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

    Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
     
     
    EDIT3:
     
    Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
     
     
    Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.

    The Salt Is REAL reacted to LinusTech in @LinusTech Twitter Account Hacked   
    On June 28, 2016 the Linus Media Group domain registrar account was compromised.
     
    The exact methodology of the "hack" won't be disclosed for obvious reasons, but I can assure you that despite any claims to the contrary, the appropriate safeguards were in place on our side, and as I type this Yvonne is having a very heated phone discussion with the 3rd party responsible for the breach.
     
    Anyway, the thing most of you are probably wondering about right now is what this means for your forum account or personal information, and the answer is very simple:
     
    NOTHING.
     
    The "hacker" simply changed the DNS settings in the dashboard and did not at any time have access to the linustechtips.com server. Any claims of a database dump are categorically false.
     
    The compromised accounts - including Twitter - have been restored.
     
    I hope this clears things up.

    So for editing more fast you need I7. Also wait to the price drops to were it belong around 480$. Now on amazon you can buy it around 526$ i did not list your case, storage etc because you said that you already have it.
     
    Also i list you a much better PSU for more safe units, and it's 80+ Platinum and cost around the same as gold plus too.

    I think it is fine. The power supply, sometimes people say one unit is not very good, so you should try to get some feedback on that. I see that you already have a HDD, but to keep the theme maybe go with a WD green drive .  Other than these things it looks pretty good.

    The Salt Is REAL reacted to Glenwing in NVIDIA Pascal Mythbusting   
    We'll see. Right now I don't really have any more insight than anyone else since information is limited, other than saying these claims aren't that unbelievable, personally.
     
    If you compare the middle chip of each architecture to the middle chip of the previous architecture, Maxwell GM204 (GTX 980) is roughly twice as fast as Kepler GK104 (GTX 680), which was roughly twice as fast as Fermi GF114 (GTX 560 Ti). So it wouldn't be that strange if Pascal GP104 was twice as fast as Maxwell GM204.
     
    Likewise, if you compare the middle chip to the previous architecture's flagship, Kepler GK104 (GTX 680) was roughly 20-40% faster than Fermi GF110 (GTX 580). Maxwell GM204 (GTX 980) was roughly 5-10% faster than Kepler GK110 (GTX 780 Ti / Titan Black) at launch. So if Pascal GP104 is 20-40% faster than GM200 (GTX 980 Ti / Titan X), again it won't be that strange.
     
    Maxwell is the only one slacking a little in this pattern, the GTX 980 isn't quite twice as fast as the 680 though it's pretty close, and it's not quite 20-40% faster than the 780 Ti. But this makes sense when you consider that Maxwell didn't have a fabrication process advantage (it was on 28nm, same as Kepler). Fermi to Kepler also went from 40nm to 28nm, and Maxwell to Pascal is also going from 28nm to 16nm.
