    Hey! I'm Austin, I've been brought up around computers my entire life, built a computer with my dad when I was young and have been hooked ever since. Built my current PC in the summer of 2014 and it has been going strong since. I have upgraded it here and there which has proven to be very beneficial. I'm a senior in high school but have taken a heavy interest in programming and will be studying computer science in college next year which I am looking forward to. But computers only cover one aspect of my life. I am a very dedicated athlete, I've been playing lacrosse since first grade and I will be playing it in college. I love staying in shape and running is one of my favorite things to do. Following in my dads footsteps I am also an Eagle Scout which I am proud of.

  1. FIXED: I went into nvidia control panel and did the drop down menu for refresh rate but it only showed 30hz. I turned off my computer unplugged and plugged back in both ends of the cable and turned the pc back on. Went back to nvidia control panel, went to the refresh rate drop down menu and 60hz now showed up as an option. Works completely fine now like it did before.
  2. Not sure how to do that, do you mean going into nvidia control panel? Its about 4 feet i think and its the cable that came with the monitor, i checked both ends and they seem to look ok.
  3. I just got back from school and got my desktop all set up again but once i turned it on for some reason my monitor doesnt want to go above 30hz for 3840 x 2160. Ever since I got the monitor in July I have been using it at 60hz, just yesterday it was fine playing games at 60 but no matter what i try it only shows the option to go no higher than 30hz. Any help is greatly appreciated also not sure if this is the right thread or not. My monitor is a LG 27" 4K Freesync Monitor 27UD68-B My system is more than capable of running it, Core i7 4790k, evga 970 ftw, 16gb corsair dominator
  4. I'm going to college in August and will be upgrading my setup for the occasion. This is my current setup http://pcpartpicker.com/b/cZPscf , I will be starting with my graphics card but that is undecided I am waiting for the release of the new generation to decide. The other component that I am upgrading will be my displays, which is the reason why I am in this thread. I have had a huge craving for an Ultrawide and have for months. I have narrowed down my options and have my eyes set on the LG 34UC88-B for many reasons. But recently on massdrop, ergotech and LG teamed up to create a 3 monitor package(links below). I will be using my monitor for gaming like arma, CSGO, Battlefield 4, Fallout 4, etc along with school work and programming. I'm just having a hard time deciding whether I should stick with the Ultrawide or go with the 3 monitor setup. Does any one have any experience with either? Have any questions just ask away. Thanks! http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC88-B-ultrawide-monitor https://www.massdrop.com/buy/lg-ergotech-battlestation
  5. I am in the market for a 34" 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor. Can be curved or not but curved definitely is preferred. I game so something with at least 75hz and up would be ideal and G-sync. My budget is probably around $800-900 ish because it is a little bit flexible. Cheaper the better of course but all suggestions within the price range are welcome! Btw it will be powered by either a 980ti or a Pascal GPU, I haven't decided which I am going to buy yet due to pascal not being released yet but depending on which I decide on, a second GPU will be bought in October for SLI. Thanks for any suggestions and let me know if you have any questions!
  6. I have some great news for you because i happened to stumble upon this deal earlier today. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/aoc-featured-28-led-4k-uhd-freesync-monitor-black-silver/5010800.p?id=bb5010800&skuId=5010800 28" 4k monitor with 1ms response time AND freesync for $300, that seems like a pretty great deal to me and is basically the same as the samsung you are looking at but 200-300 cheaper.
  7. I mean you have a 980ti which can handle 4k no problem so why not get this. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/aoc-featured-28-led-4k-uhd-freesync-monitor-black-silver/5010800.p?id=bb5010800&skuId=5010800 Its $300 1ms response time and just as good of refresh rate as the other monitors so you wont notice a difference there. Looks like a great deal I would get it but i'm just in the market for a 34" ultrawide.
  8. You're making a good choice with the G2. Like a lot of other have been saying EVGA power supplies are very reliable and worth it. I have had my 750w G2 for almost 2 years now and haven't had a single problem with it. Also overclocking and Sli have been excellent. Just thought I'd add my thoughts so you could be reassured.
  9. For some reason I thought of x >6<=10 being like if x is greater than 6 but less than or equal to 10 then it should do this line of code-> int(input(x*4.00)) I wasn't thinking straight or really thinking logically, like I said I'm new to this but thank you for the advice!
  10. Below is the updated code and yes it worked thank you very much for the help. Its funny how the littlest things can throw everything off but I guess in the world of computing this just shows how precise everything must be. x = float(input('What is the weight of the package?')) if x <= 2: int(input(x*1.50)) elif 2<x<=6: int(input(x*3.00)) elif 6<x<=10: int(input(x*4.00)) else: int(input(x*4.75))
  11. I am taking a basic programming class and we are starting to use python and using the book "starting out with Python Third Edition". At the end of each chapter we have to do an exercise. This chapter focuses a lot on if-else and if-elif-else statements so I need to use that. The exercise I am doing goes like this: Write a program that asks the user to enter the weight of a package and then displays the shipping charges. The charges are as follows: 2 pounds or less is $1.50 per pound, Over 2 pounds but not more than 6 pounds is $3.00 per pound, Over 6 pounds but not more than 10 pounds is $4.00 per pound, and then Over 10 pounds is $4.75 per pound. x = float(input('What is the weight of the package?')) if x <= 2: int(input(x*1.50)) elif x >2<=6: int(input(x*3.00)) elif x >6<=10: int(input(x*4.00)) else: int(input(x*4.75)) The program works until I input a number that is great than 6 in, it just multiplies it as if it was part of the $3 category. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
  12. I'm a senior in high school and will be going to the College of Saint Rose next for their dual degree program for programming and information technology which will let me get my masters in 5 years. Right now I'm in a basic programming class where we are starting out with some simple python stuff. But I'm looking forward to college big time!
  13. Also jsut wanted to say thanks for every ones input on this!
  14. Probably should mention that I will be upgrading to pascal in October when I get the money from my birthday/ with money saved up and most likely SLIing that, but that's of course only if it's out by then which I think its rumored to be out by the end of the summer anyway. But the 970 in SLI should hold me over till then right? Also Low_Battery you say 4K but I thought 4k was 3840×2160, I'm only really looking to game at 3440x1440. Just for haha's where would be the best place for me to sell my 970, ebay?
  15. In the post above I specify what I primarily do and what I will be mostly doing in the future. But I feel like I would only be able to get like $250 if not less for the card since i've had it for over a year and it would cost me more to get the 980ti when in the tests I've seen the 970 SLI has done better than a single 980ti, so that's just what my thought process is. Tell me what you think, thanks!
