  1. Thanks for this - I'm going to try and swap some GPU's next time I get around to looking more into fixing this issue. Motherboard sounds the most likely to me, might simply be a setting, so I'll run though the BIOS of them and see if there's anything that stands out. Firmware updating would be a good shout to try and solve these issues. I'll have to check up on the specific RAM installed in these machines and check with the QVL's. I've never payed much attention to the QVL's, however what you're explaining I remember learning in the past, but in the majority of cases it seems to not be an issue. Curious. The conspiracy nut in me wants to believe the QVL's were just made for manufacturers to avoid warrenty claims. But hey, far out maybe (legally they probably can't anyway...)
  2. Not quite the latest anymore, however all the same. There shouldn't be any OC mode, however I'll have to check, later this week.
  3. It's just odd that it would be a driver issue, cause looking at the driver versions across the PC's - They're the same. They both have "Generic PnP-monitor" v 10.0.19041.1151 Dated: 21-06-2006
  4. Doesn't have a windows 10 driver however. Maybe I'll just try the windows 8.1 version.
  5. They are all 2.0 cables, no shadow of a doubt. - The port being set to some other mode could explain it. - However I've combed through seemingly all of the settings on the TV to find something that would explain the lower resolution/bandwith... Like the HDMI mode, can't find anything. TV's are running in the "Gaming" mode.
  6. 2.0 cable - Supports 1440p @ 120hz, however does not support 4k at 120hz. As I mentioned - using the same cable from a machine that has the resolution available, to a machine that doesn't, changes nothing. Issue is the same, sticking with the machine/tv combo. I am just PUZZLED...
  7. Yes - TV's support 4k @ 120hz. I'm running 1440p @ 120hz on two of 8 identical setups. But obviously something is not the same I suppose across the setups. I just can't figure out what is limiting the data bandwith across the machines... Again, They are all running RTX 2060 Supers, with the same cables, to the same TV's, in the same ports that are all marked with "4k@120hz". All the GPU's run the same driver version.
  8. Hi LTT Forum I have a couple of IDENTICAL setups. They all run the same LG TV, same graphics card, same cable, same GPU drivers. - However, on 4-5 machines I can't select the fully supported resolution. I want to run 1440p at 120hz on all the TV's. However only TWO of the PC's actually allow me to select this resolution at the refresh rate I want. If I change the cable between the machines, the same pc's will have the same issue. In the picture above, it should allow me to select 1080p, 1440p and 4k resolutions at 120hz, 120hz and 60hz respectively. Does anyone have an idea of what to try next?
  9. I'm looking for a new DVR for my home surveillance. I have 4 cameras and need to be able to access them via a mobile app. I'm unsure where to start as most systems seem to come with 4 cameras as well. I wanted to go ubiquity but they only work with their own CCTV devices. Anyone got any ideas?
  10. uuuuuuh - That sort of AP looks like something that could work in terms of visuals, really well. Still concerned about the placement of the AP considering it's at the floor. EDIT: Installation is gonna be interessting. Not done stuff like this before, but might be able to do it myself, which would be nice. As for setting up multiple networks - Sounds like something I could figure out without much hassle... Defenitely a good call for security, and I would honestly not be surprised if it's not already done like this.
  11. I have been dreaming of setting up a Unify network - I def think this is the route to go. Biggest issue however is dark-grey walls and ethernet plugs behind TV's and at the floors... Rip wires - I'll have to figure out how to get these AP's up in height for proper coverage. Don't recall the specific DVR model. I'll add this to the list of things to note down next time I get the chance. I do not have prior experience with this, no. But I'm up for the challenge - But what would be the reason to do this, which problems is this supposed to solve?
  12. Ethernet cables run throughout the house. However current AP's are hidden behind TV's (which is also just making the whole Wifi issue much worse). But yes, running Unifis have defenitely been on my mind. Actually already tried connecting a Unifi AP on one of the floors, but then some of the setup with TV's and what not, broke.. So this needs work as I need to understand the system fully. -- Trial and error. I need to look into how the cameras are connected, but I'd imagine they are connected via Ethernet to the network, and then the DVR is connected to the network too. It might also run on a seperate network for security reasons, I need to check up on this when I get the chance (this is not my own home).
  13. I need some advice on how to approach revamping the home network of a 3 story house. TL:DR: I need help in revamping a complicated network and not sure if what I'm after can even work like I imagine. I've BOLDED the different main issues if there's something specific you want to weigh in on. WALL OF TEXT INC. It's a relatively new house, being about 6 years old. When it was built, it had security cameras, lights, Tv's and audio in different rooms, all connected on the network. All of these systems however all run different (some of them propriatary) systems. Some of the companies that orginially provided the installation and service, has ofcourse gone away. So the question is, how in the world do you figure out revamping all of this. In my mind, I just want to tear it all down and begin from ground zero. First of all I want to fix the home network. Currently it's running on an Apple airport extreme, with an apple airport AP on each floor, for the wifi connection. There have been numorous issues with the connectivity with these, and so in my mind, these need to go completely. I'm defenitely thinking a full on mesh network is what is needed, with some powerful routers on each floor. I should add, the WHOLE house is concrete. Most rooms are also seprated by structurally critical concrete walls. Second, the lights among other things run on a system called Somfy. This works fine and should be easy to migrate to a new network. Third, in many of the rooms, there are integrated speakers in the ceiling. Each room is hooked up to an individual amplifier (that also cause problems, and in ontop of that, these are currently hooked up to additional apple AP's. These AP's are then setup to work as Apple AirPlay devices. Each room is seperate from the next, and up until this point, you can't stream music to multiple rooms at the same time, you have to pick òne. Ontop of this, they have a tendancy to... Not work. - Connection is lackluster and flickers on and off, even though the WiFi connection to the streaming device might be fine,(seemingly). Obviously because of AirPlay, there's the additional limitation of it only being accessable to apple devices. I've been looking at using SONOS instead as a possible "one stop solution", that not only has the amplifiers, but also has the systems to stream to multiple rooms at once and so on. Third - and a half, TV's are hooked up to the integrated speakers in specific rooms. So these TV's use another propriatary system, that hooks up to the beforementioned amplifiers, only these amplifiers are not using apple AP's, as they're hooked up to this system instead. Question is, if these TV's instead can be hooked up to a SONOS like system, so as to streamline everything that has to do with audio, into one system. Additional to the TV's All TV's are controlled by a 'tv remote' application on mobile. This is also a propriatary system that's hooked up to the network (should be able to migrate it, but defenitely needs some work setup work on a new network). Fourth, Home Security. Specifically survaillance. Originally a range of exterior security cameras were hooked up to a DVR with integrated storage, This was then hooked up through the home network, to a streaming service of some kind, that allowed a mobile application to access live camera views and scrub through footage. However as the DVR encountered issues and the SINGLE consumer HDD died, this whole system was left for dead, and now there're exterior cameras scaring away intruders while not actually recording anything. What, to, do. For this I don't have any sort of experience and have no Idea where to start. I've had a look at existing security / alarm companies that run in the areas, but I do not believe they support stuff like cameras. I've heard of RING ofcourse, but I'm not sure about the limitations and requirements for a system like this, and how to integrate it considering the rest of the issues I've pointed to throughout my post. I'm hoping that someone with experience with some of these 'smart home' systems, will be able to help EDIT: The whole point of this exercise is also that it should ATLEAST be serviceable by me, in the future. So that five more years down the line, I won't have to revamp the whole system again because some small, proprietary systems and companies have gone out of business... I know you can never be sure, but hey - a man can dream.
  14. It varies from ISP to ISP. Some will take a monthly charge ontop of the bill. Others will offer a static IP at a one-time payment. Also depending on how you get your connection, the ISP may or may not be able to/offering a static IP. The ISP I use at home is offering me a 1000/60 connection on COAX (tv-signal connection), but are not able to offer a static IP. But this is all dependent on how the ISP is actually delivering the connection to you. Only way to figure it out is have a chat with your provider / ask your parents
  15. Can confirm - I work at a local ISP and this is literally the biggest topic apart from "my wifi is bad". People who can't play CoD on the playstations because of the ISP NAT. Only proper solution is getting a static/public IP address.
  16. Yea, it is - but I'm a sucker for the Strix and I'm buying it as a business expense. So I'd rather get the better cooling solution for an extra few bucks
  17. Yea - Next question is about the PCIe 6+2 connectors. Cause I've only got two with this one. And the Strix card wants three. So then how about some adapters...2x Sata power to 6+2 adapter is a thing, if I remember correctly. I do not recall if it's an RM550x or non-x version though. Need to check that.
  18. So lets see how low we can go: 550watts (Corsair RM550) Asus RTX 3080 Strix On an i7 6700k 16gigs of ram 3 ssds. Basically same setup, but just no HDD's but a CPU with a higher TDP.. Thoughts?
  19. Screen works fine btw, when using Intel onboard graphics or a gtx 770 I have lying around.
