Got a cheap HD 5830 for my brothers older PC on ebay. Listed as fully working. It arrived packed inside some bubblewrap with paper wrapped around it. Needless to say its DOA :|
Yeah I can recall that chat in general discussion.. To be fair to the guy I really think it was just an honest mistake and he refunded me within a few minutes.
just a question can i put one monitor on integrated graphics card of my pc and the other one on my 750ti?
It depends, if its a dedicated ebay shop they usually have a returns policy or such. In my case it was just a single person selling it so I got in touch and explained the problem and he refunded me for it, which is what usually happens with stuff like that. Either way ebay will let you take out a return request that will give the seller a week to respond before you are automatically refunded, but I've never had to do that as anyone I've dealt with have been pretty understanding. Its very biased towards you as a buyer so its really safe buying stuff from it and there isn't much worry of being scammed.
Sadly, you cannot do that. I have tried it before, anyway, the 750ti has decent I/O, why do you need that?
I managed to do it like i said above i turned the integrated graphics card on in the bios and now it works and i only did it because i dont have a hdmi port on my screen as well as i dont have a vga cable laying around.
I usually get screwed on eBay when it comes to buying CPU's, specifically PGA CPU's they always arrive with bent pins, then I have to spend hours with my bench magnifying lamp and a small screw driver bending all the pins back only to find they're dead... Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to use foam padding to protect the pins, it never works and more than half the time kills the CPU from static charge built in the foam... It's annoying especially when I'm working on a PC that isn't mine and they need it back. Thankfully I rarely get PC's with bad CPU's in for repair.
Umm... Yes you can. You just have to enable the iGPU in BIOS and install the HD Graphics drivers. I used to run 2 900p displays on my iGPU and my 1080p display with my dGPU(s).
Oh, I assumed you couldn't because I searched high and low in my BIOS for an option to enable it, but it wasn't anywhere.
Do you guys know whats up with my graphics card? When i restart my pc i dont get a picture sometimes and as soon as i open the case or wait a bit it works like a champ again. I nearly threw it out because i thought it was dead
take it out and see if there is dust on the contacts, blow it out with compressed air, (both in the socket and on GPU) and see if the issue is still there
My cheap mid-2000s Xp/Vista lan PC fleet is growing at a nice pace. I recently got an Athlon 64 1640le based system with 3GB of ram and Vista Home Premium for free. Same person gave me a Celeron 1.3GHz based system from about 2001 or so. It's an extremely early XP machine with 384 megs of ram and XP Home Edition. I think it's the same socket as the Pentium 3, but it could be Socket 478 for Pentium 4's. I'm not sure yet. EDIT: I can confirm that it is, indeed, Socket 370. I should have know that right away as it uses PC100 ram, not DDR. A Pentium 3 isn't out of the picture here.
Hmm how would 4th gen core i5/i7 integrated graphics (mobile processor) run BeamNG? If anyone has a 4th gen processor in their laptop would you mind testing it for me? I might be getting a hand-me-down Dell XPS.
If it has a dedicated GPU, it will. If not, well... Let's just say the HD 4000 isn't even close to being on par with HD 5XX
It might have dedicated graphics, but I do not know as I have not really looked at the laptop in person for a long time. It may even be a 5th gen processor, all I saw was the sticker. It definitely wasn't an i3 though. --- Post updated --- Anyone else seen this weird glitch?
