  1. The cable is correct, however it is possible that there is an issue with the alignment of one of the pins. If you can try using a different cable.
  2. Personally I would be surprised if you could get 4k@60fps reliably on that cable but I have been wrong before. Most of the longer cables ive ran go thru walls and suspended ceilings so replacing a cable that didn't meat spec gets expensive fast.
  3. I found a 10m cable that can do 4k@60hz for 85$ https://www.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/HDMI/active-high-speed-hdmi-cable-10m~HD2MM10MA
  4. There are 3 types of cables out there. Strait thru (standard) Passive (requires no power) and Active (requires power). The longer the distance the more a signal will degrade, clever engineers have found ways to combat this using signal boosting circuitry.

  5. You have to be very carefull with signal amplifiers (boosters) There are passive (requires no power) and Active (requires power). I have never had good luck with passive "inline" boosters. Best bet would be active but you would need a nearby outlet.
  6. Depending on your budget you have a few good options. 1. Active HDMI https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Active-wall-Speed-Cable/dp/B000GLR0T2 2. Optical HDMI https://www.amazon.com/FIBBR-UltraPro-HDMI-2-0-18Gbps-32-8ft/dp/B074SFKK21 3. HDMI to Cat6 https://www.startech.com/AV/Extenders/HDMI/HDMI-over-Cat5-Cat6-extender~ST121HDBTPW 4. Wireless HDMI https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=16223
  7. That should make a huge difference. You should be able to run at (1920x1080) with low-medium settings and maintain 35-40fps easy.
  8. You should be able to run it at a low resolution (1080x720) at the lowest graphic settings and maintain reasonable FPS. However if you can afford it, look for a used low end graphics card, something within the last 2 generations.
  9. The part about cleaning is cause people never do and you said that you may sell it. Things that look clean are easier too sell.
  10. The problem isn't the network, the latency and bandwidth requirements for remoting in are quite low, plus this issue is just with Quickbooks not any other programs on the VM. Anyways im asking here because everyone I know in POS sector has no idea so im kinda at a loss.
  11. Hi, I currently have quick-books 2016 enterprise running in multi-user-mode for POS at a local shop (not my choice). The current setup has all terminals remoting onto VM's on the server. Im using VMware Workstation 12. The servers OS along with the VM's OS is Windows Server 2012. Each VM has 6 dedicated cores with 10GB ram. There are 6 VM's. The server is a Dell R630 with (2) 2699A-v4 Xeons with 64GB DDR4 ECC 2400MT/S and (4) Intel 750 series 800GB NVME SSD in raid 5. Now my problem is the program lags BAD, opening a file is slow, running a transaction is slow, multiple users generating reports causes other users to crash. IT takes 2 minutes to open the god damn file. The file has been trimmed and optimized recently. Ive literately thrown the best hardware i can at the problem. Any Ideas anyone?
  12. Okay Son, here is what you want to do. (STEP 1) Back up all important data. (STEP 2) Download latest drivers to a USB drive. (STEP 3) Make a USB bootable ISO of your current Operating System. (STEP 4) Download latest BIOS version onto USB drive (STEP 5) Fully disassemble the computer. (STEP 6) Clean everything with 89%+ rubbing alcohol. (STEP 7) Reassemble the computer. (STEP 8) Flash Bios. (STEP 9) Reformat and reinstall windows using bootable ISO. (STEP 10) Install latest drivers from USB drive. (STEP 11) Reformat "other" hard drives (STEP 12) Load backup-ed data. (STEP 13) If the problem still persist run hardware test utilities. If everything passes then post here and i will summon the brain trust.
  13. I ran into the same issue a few months back. Some asshat set the Static IP of the PLC to 192.168.1.1 You can guess how upset i was.
  14. There is a janky fix for the hyper-threading issue. Use VM's, that way you can dedicate each core to an individual VM. P.S. Ive never done this outside of a Enterprise setting so im not entirely sure how well it will work for gaming.
