Hey guys, 

 

I am having a really odd problem. I have to inputs going into my monitor from the same GPU. When I switch from DP to HDMI I get a whole different screen saver, cant open anything, and my shortcuts are gone. What is going on and how do i fix this?

 

Thanks

it recognizes them as two different screens, you need to unplug the other when you swap. or go to screen res. and switch your "main display" each time

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
