General computer talk/advice

wouldn't that cause condensation? pretty sure that's not something you want in your pc

 

Hence why most open loops are external reservoir.

Would a gtx 980 classified be okay to pair with my i5-4690k and 8gb of 2133.

 

Honestly a 980 would probably go good with anything, don't have one myself but most of what I hear about them is generally great.

So I've had 3 gaming mice in the last 9 years (everything before that was just a standard mouse). First was a chameleon, color shifting, Razer Diamondback that I purchased alongside an Alienware computer (looking back I can't believe I dropped $3000 on a pc), all around good mouse, used it for 6 years. It was showing it's age so I replaced it with a CM Storm Xornet. I love the Xornet, I've never had a mouse fit my hand so well, and I love the button feel on it. However after a short wile I noticed it started double clicking on single clicks a lot which got pretty frustrating. Coolermaster claimed it was software related and they were going to roll out an update that never came. Sadly had to replace it and got a Sharkoon Drakonia. Good solid mouse, took some getting used to holding it, but I liked it. Now it's started having a similar double click bug of it's own, but I have a feeling it's hardware related this time... Pretty ticked.
So now I'm back to using my 9 year old Razer Diamondback, still works perfect, just looks horrid. Rubber coating on the buttons is worn off, clear rubber grip around the sides is decaying and discolored. I had to take it apart and disinfect with rubbing alcohol, grease from your skin can get nasty if left on a surface for too long.

If anyone has a Xornet that had the same problem, and managed to find a fix somewhere, I'd love to hear it. Would love to use it again.

EDIT: Man, look at how different all of these things are shaped.

 

guys i have a question let's say i have two GPU's Both are different and are not in SLI ( Nvidia GPU's )
so i have one gpu (9600gt) running one display via DVI and another gpu (Gtx 960 Msi 4gb) running the other display
if im running a game in ONE display and i minimize it and drag it to the other display will the Other GPU take the load?

 

Why would you want to do that? And why would you have the 9600GT in the first place? Just run both displays on the GTX 960.

 

In short, no. I have a similar set-up with a Radeon HD 7850 and an Intel iGPU. The slower card is simply used as a pass through, or vice-versa.

Also, take that 9600GT out of your rig. You're wasting resources using it.

 

Omg Give the 9600gt some credit! It can play Minecraft at well over 60fps it's faster than a IGPU and i can use it to do the job of my 960 so my 960 can have less load playing beam and the 9600 gt can stay on reddit

 

The GPU load from web browsing is minimal, should not affect performance in any way.

 

Only the primary GPU can render things to the screen. Unless you use the 9600gt as a physx card or for cuda then it is nothing but ballast inside your pc. It will also be making your PC hotter and louder. If it were something a little more powerful it might be worth leaving in for the extra cuda performance but the performance it could give you would almost be negated by the overhead of having two gpus in a cuda situation.

So in your case i would probably just remove it and put it on display or in a different computer.


I barely get use out of my 560ti, its there as a just in case i need it style thing since i dont use blender as much as i used to.

 

I have a question, I already have 1 GTX 960 and I've realised that now I have a car that supports SLI! So, what should I do? Buy another GTX 960 to SLI?? or should I buy a GTX 970? I know that most of you are going to say "Oh 1 970 is faster than both" but I'm talking about prices for peformance, since I live in Aussie Land, prices are wicked high, a $1,200 PC here has the same value of a $700 PC in the USA. my 960 costs $290 (now $270) and it has a decently high factory OC, but the GTX 970 is over $400, but it does have 4GB of dedotated wam compared to my 2GB (Yes, I am aware that if I have 2 2gb cards I will not have 4gb vram), but I'm not gaming over 1080 / 1440p (Using DSR) and I'm looking for FPS and recently my middle monitor blew up, so I'm down to 2 monitors out of 3, I plan to replace that monitor with a 144hz monitor (I'm a CS:GO freak). BUT, I don't have the MOBO to support SLI or the PSU to do the job, and that means a new case (Maybe it does support 2 GPU's idk, but still my PSU is still too weak). So in short, I want a cheap way to upgrade my PC but I can't decide if I should wait to get a GTX 970 or buy another GTX 960 to SLI, resulting in a new PSU, Mobo and Case (If I get the 970 I still have to get a new PSU)

What shall I do?

 

Fine i will make a point that is not arguable

it Looks cool

 

GTX 970.

 

I am like your mom. Now don't forget these things. Good luck.

Roman Numerical Stationary, cool.

God this is frustrating, i cant set my screen to 3840x2160@60hz. I have tried all sorts of things, re installing drivers to beta and back, fiddling with settings and all. Highest that i am able is 40hz at this resolution. Yeah i have Displayport to DPmini and its 1.2 so is screen set to 1.2 mode.
Cable is quite long 2m but they didn't have anything else in stock so if i return this cable im stuck with hdmi while, but looking at this situation now it makes no difference. If that doesn't work il have to return this monitor but i really don't want to that...

Derpp got a new cable and now all works great !

 

What does the techdemo have and does it last for eternity?

 

No time limit, and you're stuck with only the covet and gridmap. No mods.

 

U don't get the gravil? Nooooooo D:

*Edit* Fine how much does the full game cost

 

Just buy the full game. If you like driving games, hate NFS-rigid body physics and have an adequate computer, you should totally get it.

Though the old techdemo had the D15, it's terrible outdated and not available (as I can see)

EDIT: I dunno the exact price, it's coming to steam in about 15 hours, you'll see then.

EDIT2: OT:

Been looking at the BitFenix Prodigy (the itx one)... anyone have anything to say about itx gaming?

My current case is great but full size ATX, it's huge and I want something tiny. I only have 2 2.5" drives and a stock cooler... my 970 is short, my PSU is small... I'm really interested to hear more about itx
