Linus had a problem and solved it one way, but I'm thinking (and hoping) there is a better way. Check out his video (posted below) and to me it sounds like he needs a multi-in multi-out HDMI extender over IP many-to-many 4K HDR 120Hz 4:4:4 with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision device with easy manipulation. I would like the same thing, though I doubt anything exists that 100% fits, so options that are close are desired. Idea: A product similar to SIIG HDMI Over IP Extender Kit, Many to Many, IR Control, 4k60Hz, gofanco 4K HDMI Extender Over IP, Matrix Configurable Kit, VuMatrix-FX HD 4K Matrix Over IP Extender, or products from J-Tech, OREI, AvenView, Tripp Lite. I’m sure some of these are just rebrands of the same tech. We would need one transmitter per source and one receiver per destination. Theoretically, this allows for up to 100 sources and 155 destinations on the same network with multiple destinations viewing the same source using IDs. Issues: There is a world of confusion, because the terminology, marketing and/or translations aren’t good. There are many devices and companies that seem to offer the same thing, but digging in they don’t. Some: “over IP” devices for running through a switch or “over a single ethernet” device meaning TX and RX most be connected on a dedicated cable matrixes require a special router cannot have chained routers between the TX and RX do 4K and don’t mention rate or chroma don’t mention audio contain IR single or bi-directional transmission contain USB uplink contain R232 transmission contain videowall capabilities have remotes, mobile apps, desktop/web apps and/or wall mount controls Hope: Over looking console controller connections for now (will definitely revisit to have multi-room “couch” coop ). The hope is to have: HDMI equipped/converted consoles, movie players, PCs and other sources be housed in one location matrixed and sent to all of the destination screens with as close to [4K 120Hz HDR 4:4:4 sampling Dolby Atmos and Vision audio without CEC] as possible using the ethernet cabling with easy to use remote/mobile app for switching inputs low input lag (good point that I missed curtesy of HanZie82) For me and others a reasonable price is hoped for as well, but Linus might go with a top price range (is it your fault Jake?!?)

I was watching the second last WAN show recently and saw Linus talking about how good would be if messaging apps had interopatibily and I find that is something almost impossible to do with most messaging apps. First of all I probably should clarify what I meant by interopatibily, which is the wikipedia and dictionary definition of it: "Interoperability is a characteristic of a product or system to work with other products or systems.". There's two main reasons that I think that is something impossible to do. First of all is that the way that messaging applications works at server level where they work differently from each other, for example telegram uses MTProto while WhatsApp uses a modified version of XMPP, this alone makes impossible to WhatsApp and Telegram to talk between each other without major rewrites to the core software and the clients if they don't create a common protocol between then. The second main reason is the lack of federation "A federation is a group of computing or network providers agreeing upon standards of operation in a collective fashion.", which basically is a protocol to make the interopatibily of two distinct softwares, so a way to make telegram and whatsapp to talk without they needing to use the same core protocols and servers(basically invalidating the first point), e-mail is nowadays the most famous federated protocol out there as you can send an e-mail between different servers and domains The main problem with federation is that the federation itself isn't a protocol itself but a term, so if the EU regulation doesn't specify a commom federated protocol for them to work together, that wouldn't solve anything as Apple, Telegram, Facebook, Google and etc. can each own to create their own "federated" protocols making them able to cripple and limit third-party software access to it. This would force that each messaging app to implement their own integration with other service. So, here's would be my (maybe not so good) solution to solve this: The first one would be to EU to create a federation messaging standard and force the companies to implement some basic levels of it. The second one(that I like the most) is to incentivize people to use open/public federated standards, instead of private ones. I searched here(LTT forums) before I wrote this to search peoples opnions here about both protocols, while I didn't found a lot I know that most of the complains about them are the lack of features(stickers for example) and the lack of commom people/community(userbase) there. Unfortunately those are real and valid reasons of why someone doesn't want to join it but they can be tackled. While the userbase fix is probably the hardest one to fix but a way to do it is for people that belongs or commands larger communities(youtubers, forum chats, software developers, ...) to began to use it too. I'm not saying for they to drop discord(or any other plataform) all together but to use XMPP/Matrix for the community too. Because those are federated software(where if you are a user from the 404.city server, you can talk and join communities on conversations.imand vice-versa), communities(like LTT) maybe could incentivize the use by giving usernames for supporters. The lack features is one of the interesting ones in those plataforms, unlike proprietary plataforms, people who have the knowledge and time can add features into theme, because they're open-source and a open-standard, the biggest example in XMPP is omemo end-to-end cryptography on it, that was created as an idea in Google Summer of Code and it ended up being part of the XMPP protocol a year later. So custom-emojis and more can be done if someone who have the knowledge, time and will to implement it. The lack of community and money is also a big problem with those softwares, an example is Matrix that it for some time had a third-party company funding the project, than they dropped the funding, during the funding phase the project evolved a lot in conparison to now, so increasing the community can lead to more money and making those plataforms better. Sorry for the long post...

Hello everyone, some weeks ago my graphics card (Asus R9 290x Matrix 4GB) had some vram issues and I sent it to RMA (I didn't think that I would get a new one because I broke the warranty void seal and assembled a Raijintek Morpheus 2 Cooler on it). While this card was in RMA, I found a R9 290x Lightning (4GB) for 130€ on ebay and bought it. Today I got back my old but repaired R9 290x from Asus. The question is, what should I do next, upgrade my PSU and combine the 2 R9 290x's or sell one of the graphics cards and save the money for an upcoming zen processor? My System: CPU: AMD FX 8320 @ 4.6Ghz (Corsair H100) Mainboard: ASRock 970 Performance GPU: MSI R9 290x Lightning (4GB) PSU: be quiet Straight Power e7 700W Thanks for your answers / ideas

Hello guys, im currently buying a new monitor and since i dont have much money, im going for the used route. I found a nice monitor for an okay price here: LCD samsung monitor 24 SyncMaster B2430 i know led has smaller power consumption, but since im not paying electricity bills that isnt really my concern haha. i have just these two questions: -does lcd put bigger eye strain on your eyes than a led backlit screen would? -is there a noticeable difference in image display quality?

Hey everyone! I am currently about to buy a couple switches to complete my 3 TV game room! I am buying a 4x4 switch and 3 2x1 switches. I would like to buy the same company because typically they work better together. as of now I am going to be buying the monoprice blackbird 4x4 and their smaller 2x1s. does anyone have any experience with a 4x4 matrix switch? If so, any advice on which one to buy? I have read good and bad things about monoprice. So if anyone has any recommendations, let me know! Thanks in advance to any and all that help!

Hey all! So I posted this in display a little bit ago, but seeing as it is an interesting middle ground and havn't heard anything back, I thought i would give here a try too! I am setting up a game room with a bunch of inputs and 3 tvs (outputs) and was looking to use a 4x4 hdmi matrix and actually 2 2x1 switches because i have so many inputs. As of now, i am going to buy the monoprice 4k blackbird 4x4 and 2 of the monoprice 2x1 mini switch with optional power input. ( I think staying with the same company for both is the smarter move) Does anyone have any sort of reviews for the monoprice blackbird 4x4, or any other 4x4 matrix? i am open to using any other options, just want to try and get some input from other users!! any input or advice on any 4x4 matrix switches would be very helpful, thank you in advance! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey guys it's me again, and this time I got a really big problem. My R9 290X Matrix from Asus which I bought 1 1/2 years ago just died and I dont know why. It was overclocked to 1100Mhz but never ran hotter than 70°C. It worked perfectly without any problems for weeks, but yesterday when I decided to play a round Just Cause 3 my PC crashed without a reason. I just restarted it because and saw a blue "shadow" on a part of my screen from boot on. Windows only booted in safe mode until i removed the graphics card drivers. When I tried to install new / old ones the screens went black and I had to press the power button on my PC. I also tried to get the graphics card in safe mode with the 2nd bios, nothing helped. Is there something I can do to fix it or do I have to buy a new card? Thanks in advance for your answers / help

Happy New Year! Is EVGA going to come out with a Titan XP Hydro Copper? If so then when. I want to water cool a titan XP and keep the warranty.

In the most recent WAN show, Linus and Luke complained that there wasn't a way to access multiple IM services from one application. One solution to the problem that's appeared over the past few years is matrix, a messaging protocol that has interoperability with other services as one of its core goals. I've run a matrix homeserver in the past along with a few bridges. Although it wasn't exactly trivial to set up, it's well within the reach of anyone who's familiar with running web-servers on Linux. Has anyone else here tried to run one? If so do you still use it?

Evening ! I posted 2.5 years ago when finally making the move form a labtop to a custom assembled desktop computer for advice. I've moved on to having 3 computer screens, a G910 with the keycaps rearranged to be in DVORAK format, more storage that I'd likely need, but still wanting a NAS, ideas for a triple computer setup, wanting/needing more RAM, and, the topic of this post, an HDMI matrix setup. So here's the juice : I recently got a ROG 1440p 144Hz display, looks awesome and smooth you know the deal. Works great, too. I already have an HDMI matrix and all it's cabling set up, too. According to the following forum thread, HDMI 2.0 is needed to support 1440p 144Hz. Therefore, I have a couple of 4th world problems. 1 : I don't think I have any HDMI 2.0 cables. This is fairly easy to remedy and is already shipped. 2 : The monitor's HDMI input is HDMI 1.4. (It has a normal and mini DP 1.2 input that both work.) 3 : The matrix itself is HDMI 1.4. I've done a bunch of research and have found a couple matrixes that should do the trick, but most of them have WAY too many outputs and puts for my 'needs'. They weer, therefore, REALLY expensive. I only need 4 inputs and 2 outputs. There's one candidate that I'm seriously considering, but their single 1 star review on amazon.fr doesn't inspire confidence. https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01JKO9CYG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1X6FK5RDHNB96&psc=1 Now, I realize I could use an HDMI 2.0 switch into an HDMI splitter, but if the baller technology exists, I want it ! The main problem would come from trying to push 1440p 144Hz from the matrix to the display. I was thinking about an HDMI 2.0 to DP 1.2 adapter, but can't really seem to find anything reputable. Anymays, thanks in advance ! tldr; I need shopping advice/help. 4 x 2 HDMI 2.0 matrix and a HDMI 2.0 to DP 1.2 adapter

Evening ! Earlier this month I posted a thread asking for some advice on an HDMI matrix.. I've lowered my expectations since then, after having bought a matrix that seemed alright, but turned out to work great, but not at the refresh rate I wanted. What I'm looking for is 1 or 2 devices that can collectively switch between at least 4 different HDMI inputs and split that into two different HDMI outputs, Everything has to be able to handle at least 1080p at at least 120Hz. I basically need a matrix that is HDMI1.4 compatible, but the most recent one I tried WAS 1.4, yet WASN'T able to go above 60Hz. I've done more research since then, and there's a LOT of misinformation and inconsistencies. This product looks great ! But then the user manual states that the bandwidth is up to 2.97Gbps ... That's not even enough to do 1080p at 60Hz, so something in the documentation is wrong. I've tired myself out on this, and am thus delegating the task to forum members here. TLDR : Looking for an HDMI setup that can handle 4+ inputs and 2+ outputs, everything @ 1080p+ at 120Hz+. Thank you in advance !

Hey all, I have issue like this in video, it is after RMA, I have same issue in last one, was ok for few weeks and it is again, any ideas how to fix it ? I dont have possibillities to send it on RMA again. It is stoping when card is hot.

Hey everyone, So I'm trying to diagnose my friend's card here, because it acts like it's dying. After he updated the drivers on his machine (23. January 2018), it started acting crazy. TL;DR: Something triggered a card into unusable artifacting (drivers / new game, no idea), most usual remedies tried, swapped into a system with basically the same card and older drivers that work, no success System specs: Friend's: i5-3570K stock, MSI Z77A-G45, Seasonic X Series 650, RAM unknown (I can find out), Win8.1 64bit Mine's in the signature below, runs Win7 Ultimate 64bit First encounter was on a game "Escape from Tarkov", game loaded, card under full load, in game FPS 1-4. After he recovered from system shutdown it went like this: no video signal on boot, tried different PCIe slot, no difference after a few tries it booted fired up Kombustor, everything OK fired up a game -> blue / brown vertical lines, different games very similar like this ->https://imgur.com/KCcJZId apparently it did this mostly with newer, more demanding games Oh oh, he did roll-back the driver + full driver sweep with no luck. Alright, so I took it to test in my system, as I use the same GFX chip (HD7970-DC2T), with basically the same cooler. To note, I have not updated my drivers in a WHILE (Radeon Software info - Sep16). + Overview and Hardware My testing so far: under light load with core speeds 501-1050MHz and voltages 0.950-1.200V respectively (2D video playback with madVR advanced processing and rendering), temps around 60°C -> everything OK fired up MGS5: Phantom Pain -> went well for ~2mins -> white screen freeze -> few seconds after sound freeze -> hard boot-off no video once again, quick shut-down, power cycle PS upon boot-up I got this screen -> https://imgur.com/k7A2eAX crashed my whole system, had to go through BIOS setup, but here is an Afterburner Log tried lowering Memory Voltage (1600->1520 mV) & Memory Clock (6600->6000MHz) through GPU Tweak, ran the game again, froze with similar artifacts - but I recovered a log from GPU Tweak that's attached Soo I want to try a few things: Flash the BIOS first with an updated one, then modified with stock clocks and voltages, first on the VRAM as I've heard the factory overvoltage can cause artifacts when VRAM gets too hot. I can't see any VRAM temp readouts on this card in Aida64 though.... I can on mine. Edit: Found the other temps in GPU Tweak, I'll need to setup a log I can comprehend and get them to OSD somehow. In comparison, I know my card artifacts occasionally, but it's minor (Pictures 1, 2 & 3) and can be fixed with a simple reboot. Same drivers, nothing like this. If it's a VRAM issue, I'll look into identifying which VRAM chips might need replacing. Thanks for any suggestions! MONITOR_Card1(20180215013920).log

Anyone can recommend a hdmi matrix switch that support hdmi 2.0b? should minimum have 2 output and 4 input. Thanks!

Soooooooooooooo the other day i was watching the matrix when i suddenly noticed something odd with the "The Matrix Escaping from Work Scene HD" FedEx Man The FedEx Guy. The FedEx Man was a bluepill delivery man in the Matrix who gave Thomas Anderson a package he ordered, which turned out to be a phone to communicate with Morpheus

I looked at the R9 290X Matrix last year and it was on my wish list for my next Gpu upgrade when it's needed but the cards been out of stock for a long time now and I can't seem to find it anywhere else. Whats the deal? Picture :

Asus Aspire V3 772G So he came back from the bathroom and his laptop was doing this (see video). He was just on facebook before going to bathroom. He panicked and shut down the laptop. Any idea what it was or is?

Which GTX 980 should I get: 1) MSI TWIN FROZR 2) Asus Strix 3) EVGA FTW 4) EVGA Classified 5) Asus ROG Matrix Platinum Right now I plan to get the Twinfrozr or classified supposing the gtx 980ti isn't out yet

Do you thing that it is possible to fit another Asus 780 Ti Matrix in my PC? My mainboard an Asus Maximus Gene VII and i think there isn't enough space for SLI between the two PCIe-Slots. Cooling is not a problem. Thanks!

My dad had this card returned to his store, and I got to keep it. So I've decided to play around with it, in order to create a guide on how to make the load identifying LED stay red. Typically with these GPUs, there are 3 colours that the LED will glow, to show the user how much load the GPU is under. If you're like me, and pretty pedantic about the colours inside your case, then you've probably already wondered why Asus don't let you set the colour yourself? Although theoretically possible, Asus don't seem to be releasing a driver update that allows you to do this any time soon. So that's where the fun part begins. NOTE: This is completely reversible and will not void your warranty. Start by removing the 2 screws on either side of the fan housing. http://i.imgur.com/bKNATfY.jpg Next, remove the plug that attaches the housing to the GPU. Then, Remove the screw that holds the LED module in place and unplug the module. On the plug for the module there are 5 pins in total. 1. Power 2. Earth 3. Blue Illumination power signal 4. Orange illumination power signal. 5. Red illumination power signal. As seen in the image, remove pins 3, 4 & 5. Then place pin 1 into the slot for pin 5. - To do this you will need to lift up the black tabs on the plug with a small screwdriver, while gently tugging the wire out from the back. - http://i.imgur.com/8m27die.jpg Next, isolate the pins 3, 4 & 5 and cover them so they don't short anything out. You can mark them with coloured electrical tape, like i have done. This will help when/if you reverse this process. (Unintentional McDonalds product placement & My Girlfriend's boobs) http://i.imgur.com/SkSrHk1.jpg Plug everything back in and mount the fan housing back onto the GPU. Place the GPU into your PC and enjoy the single LED colour. http://i.imgur.com/jnjDfFH.jpg Good luck.

Hello people, I have a weird problem that I have not found a solution to. The problem is that my monitor starts to flicker and if nothing done to it makes my screen turn black and possibly restart/stop my computer. I am using MSI afterburner to stabilize my frequencies and I wonder what problem I have with the card. I hear that multiple people owning a R9 290x has problems with driver etc. So here is a small video of the flickering while I re-install my drivers for the 100th time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l00ZNcTWuVU&feature=youtu.be And when I use MSI afterburner to stabilize this I have to use it everytime i start my pc. I also have a problem when I connect my 19" LG monitor to the videocard, my main monitor turns off and does not receive any signal, it says cable not connected, but It is. I connect my LG monitor to a DP - VGA adapter then I hook it up to my screen. Nothing is showing an image, I once had them running together (But with a crapload of artifacts and lines on both screens I just gave up, because nobody is having the same issue as me. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it (Y)!

i have 2 7970 ghz matrix cards and they artifact on some games like crysis 3, bioshock infinite..\ Will putting on the small heatsinks help at all? Also since the cards are like 2.5 years old already, and under use every day, should i change the Thermal paste? And if i do what is good thermal paste for gpus? Thanks for all your responses

If someone is interesting for what good is in DC III, or what is benefit of Super Alloy Power II etc. Its interpretation in english language

Should I sell my asus matrix r9 280x for a gtx 970? I've had the card since november, so how much can i get for it? P.S.- I haven't had any issues with the card and its working great, i just want more performance in 1440p
