  1. While browsing through the third party storefront Humble Bundle, where percentages of proceeds go to charity, I came across videos unable to load, and clicking on the video, provides the info that the YouTube channel itself has been terminated.

     

    I can understand why it could potentially be removed, as showcasing games that have copyright material, but it is also their own Website's YouTube to show that it is available on Humble Bundle as well as their own personal Humble Monthly games. I also don't believe these videos were even monetized as well. Any other ideas why Humble Bundle would be terminated from YouTube?

    Hmm... can we have 16:9? I don't think there's anything to be gained by cutting the top and bottom of the image... or were these recorded at whatever aspect ratio this is?

    This is done for mobile watchers are more phones are switching to an 18:9 resolution. It looks wonderful on a Note 9 or iPhone X or most phones they reviewed in the last year. They are only adapting to their viewer base.

  3. Ark Survival Evolved is Currently 20 dollars on Steam right now because of the steam summer sale. I would recommend that game if you have the system to handle it. Though the question is if you are going to be doing more single player and playing with friends vs playing with strangers.

  4. The best way to look at it is Generation of Games. All early DX11 games made prior to 2015 will run well at above 1080P. Witcher 3, GTA V, Crysis 3, and Fallout 4 should all do well in this case with some tweaking. Modern games made with DX12/Vulkan will stress more of the card, but not necessarily the memory. Doom 2016 however, will run well above 60 at 1440P. 

    VR ready cards (such as the RX580) are marked as cards that will run at 1440P at 90fps in VR applications. 

    This is however my opinion on the matter, but for the most part, will be more than enough to play at 1440P for most games you might play.

     

     

  5. Hello Forum,

     

    As the subject title of this asks, are IOBit Products safe in 2017, I have come across a lot of discussion about these programs and their safeness. 

     

    Back in 2009, the Advanced System Care was a topic because of using definitions from Malwarebytes. Article Found Here.

     

    In 2013 and 2014, they were under fire again for attaching a Yahoo Rootkit that redirects all searches from all browsers to Yahoo. Article Found Here.

     

    In early 2017, I had received a humble bundle that featured IOBit security programs such as Advanced Systemcare, Driver Booster, and a couple more. I only recently learned of all these different issues and wonder if they are still valid and if any other issues arose in recent news.

  6. With all the talk about mining, the new GPUs by Asus with No I/O, could they be perfect not just for mining, but help lower the cost of a stream PC as well? With streaming, there is no direct link to the cards needed, and for a project like the 10 Gamers 1 PC, could these cards actually help out lowering the cost of the project? Even if it $10 or so a card, the project could have $100 dollars in saving with just that alone.

  7. The difference between Heaven and Runescape is how much of the resources are used. A synthetic benchmark stresses the specific hardware (in this case, your gpu) to more substanially using 100% the entire time. Runescape is a real world game, and although it does use the gpu, it will at no point stress it like the benchmark. 

     

    You should not be concerned about it being clocked higher in some games. It will not be doing the same damage like a synthetic benchmark.

    Yeah. I love how one of the big selling points Microsoft pushed with edge was that it had a reading mode that removes clutter and brings the article to the forefront so you can focus on it, something that at that point every other major browser had except IE and Safari...

    They originally had it built into Windows 8 with the news metro app. It brought articles from different news sources, had a few images and made it into a sidescrolling article with no ads or clutter.

  9. I can see them using a different name for ad-blocking like "Media-Focus Mode" or "Entertainment Enchancement" which blocks out all unnecessary clutter, like how Microsoft Edge has a "Reading Mode". Most ad-placement is removed and leaves only the information people want to see.

     

    Having this built in to chrome would help out a lot and having it for media consumption might actually be something they can get away with. Let it be a simple toggle near the address bar and I think it might work.

    So I was currently looking at WD Black PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe-based SSD 512GB. Seems to be good value? 

    Not bad of a price considering the performance of the drive. It will be faster than what you currently have as a SATA SSD.

    looking at the website, the m.2 slot on your motherboard supports both SATA and PCIe SSD's. The only requirement is that are no longer than 80mm. 

     

     

     

    The next thing to look at is what kind of pin setup does it look like. By what Newegg shows, it is an M Pin Card, shown here: m.2-connectors.jpg

     

    The next thing to note is if you are wanting to install Windows on it as well. If that is the case, get an M.2 that says nVME. This allows for an OS to me installed onto an M.2

    the thing is, when i just view the capture in vlc media player, the audio and video are completely in sync, its only when the capture is uploaded to the video editing software that it actually loses sync, but why is this only in the editor??

    Which editor are you using? Is it the one in Snagit? 

     

    If it is, I would recommend trying a different one if possible.

    Windows 10 isn't that bad, at least once you remove all of the microsoft crap, like preinstalled apps, and disabling cortana, for new CPU's windows 10 will have good performance, as they have drivers for the CPU's on 10. The only thing I might say to do is remove alot of preinstalled apps and disable a few settings. 

    Removing the bloatware and disabling Telemetry (If you care for that) is something some users will do. 

     

    Here is a tutorial for how to remove the Windows 10 Apps you won't probably use. If by chance you do, skip the line that you wish to keep. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/easily-remove-bloatware-windows-10/

     

    For disabling Telemetry, here is a different tutorial. http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-disable-telemetry-and-data-collection-in-windows-10/
