The other day I was playing around with Steams in home streaming and discovered how stream games at a higher resolution then the host computers monitor (which is normally the limit) this might be commonly known already but I haven't been able to find much about it (if anything). I have only tested this on my desktop (parts are listed in my profile page) which is streaming to my Macbook Pro Retina so it may not work for everyone. Also I'm sorry this isn't a very neat guide the pictures are kinda hard to change and resize.
 
This guide is basically an adaptation of Crokys down-sampling guide on Neogaf (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509076) and Slicks OG Super sampling anti aliasing (
) 
 
 
The first part is to enable a resolution not exposed by the display this is done through the Nvidia control panel on the host computer (this is the pc in which the games will be running)
 
1.  Right click on your desktop and start "Nvidia Control Panel" -> go to "Adjust desktop size and position" under "Display".
 
Use these settings ; Scaling mode : Aspect ratio, Perform Scaling on : GPU, Check "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs"
 

 
2) Go to "Change resolution" under "Display", Press "Customize"
 

 
3) Tick the box "Enable Resolutions not exposed by the display" Then press "Create custom resolution"
 

 
4) At this point write the desired resolution (the resolution of the client computer) into the following window, under "Horizontal pixels" and "Vertical pixels". (In this case I tried 2560 x 1600 which is the resolution of my client computer (macbook pro retina)
 

 
5) Press test and one of the following will happen:
 
- You get an image, everything works, press save and go to step 6
- You get a black (sometimes flashing red) screen or your monitor will tell you the current resolution is not supported : press ESC once or twice and wait for the screen to revert back to normal. If this occurs I recommend testing a lower resolution or trying more advanced or more advanced methods of downsampling (refer to Corkys downsampling guide on neogaf (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509076))
- You get a black screen, monitor goes into power saving mode : your computer just crashed so reboot and try different or more advanced methods of downsampling (refer to Corkys downsampling guide on neogaf (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509076))
 

 
6) Now that you've added the custom resolution on your host computer switch to your client pc and start up a game and go into the games display settings.
 

 
7)  Now change the game resolution to match the resolution of the client pc
 

 
 
You should now be able to stream games at a resolution higher then that of your host monitor. If you want to do this for AMD there are down sampling guides available (http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=366244) and once streaming and in-game it should work the same. If your interested in learning more about downsampling or ruinning your monitor at higher the support resolutions you should check out this post

this isn't youtube...........reported. 
 
this is a badass giveaway   

I've had mine for about 6 months in which time two of my friends also went and bought them after hearing mine. They aren't as accurate as the A5+ and don't spread the sound as evenly through a large room but the bass is unmatched. That's the main reason I bought them as I mainly use my computer for games and movies which sound amazing with this sub the bass is so tight it makes the 5.1 setup in my living look like a joke at a fraction (250/800) of the price. Although there are going to be more accurate speakers like the Audioengine A2 that might be better suited for music listening (not saying the sp2500s are bad more music but there's better options if that your main use) it can't match the experience you get form the sp2500 with the bass, I've actually had to my whiteboard of the wall cause it kept falling off whenever I got the chance to use the speakers to they're full potential. If you want a more cinematic feel with the good music reproduction and amazing bass I'd strongly recommend. If you want perfectly accurate sound "as the artist wanted it to be heard" there's better options.

A 780ti is enough for 3440x1440p therefore a 980 should be enough but I would recommend waiting till the 980ti or Titan 2 (which ever card is going to use the gm200 core with 2800 cuda cores and maxwell architecture)

Or you can crop the video this will make the video play in 21:9 without black bars or stretching, it will also cut most of their head and abdomen but this is preferable if watching video with the sole purpose of staring at boobs.

Does anybody bother to search before posting a topic?

In future please read the posts other make before commenting, cause the OP said "the Moto 360 (not released in AUS yet)" 
 

I really hope this doesn't encourage other idiots to go in stores and bend iPhones as some stupid "joke" or "prank".

You can only compare these if you have two cards with the same architecture. But here we have Kepler vs. Maxwell.

I think they'll support it once the technology is finalised and once monitor supporting free sync go on sale.

I'm so glad I got one before the logo change, impulsive buying finally paid off.
 
Thanks Nick!

I'm sorry, but how many times do we have to see this posted?

I bet all of the red team members are posting this.

TechPowerUp does benchmarks at 5760x1080, the 980 can run it but not at higher settings. You might want to get sli 970 or even 980.

According to the title, it seems like you've already subconsciously made up your mind

I personally liked the old logo a lot better, it was elegant, simple, subtle. This new logo has no meaning to me, at least not any obvious meaning, looks like a cheesy, "gaming" symbol. (Like Asus' "TUF" symbol, but the "TUF" symbol at least spelt out "TUF"). I hope they go back honestly, being a huge Corsair fan, it makes me a bit upset. (Check my signature and you'll see how much of a Corsair fan I am)

I just couldn't stand having products with 2 different logos for the same company on my desk all the time

NEVER put paste in replacement of the pads.

According to the site it should have been on/about yesterday.

Seriously, is your 780ti suddenly not playing games? FFS, just enjoy what you got!
