It doesn't look like its just a software setup but a hardware/software pairing that it used to determine frametimes. Oh man, you rock so much. Of course the data capture card is expensive as hell. But I guess it would have to be though when you need constant accurate data in these time frames. Really enlightening article about frames per second in general though. And it's the first "confirmation" of the general grumbling I hear about crossfire setups versus SLI. I wonder if Shadowplay data can be good enough to run through FCAT... or if it's even applicable data since it comes from the video cards themselves and not necessarily from the "path" the frame has to go through to get to the actual screen. edit: to be fair, AMD could have solved the issues since the article was released, but it is in line from the general feeling I got when looking into multiple gpu setups earlier And it is now very clear to get the results I was looking for is no trivial matter. I didn't realize how many partial frames could be displayed at once during a single screen refresh. Analyzing actual screen output would be the only real way to test anything, but even FRAPs is in line with FCAT results with some of the more glaring issues. I guess I'll give it a try with shadowplay info, can't hurt. And now I keep forgetting that shadowplay really hates my sli setup

The delay may force a price drop from nVidia's side, looking at the selection of cards nV really isn't competing in price/performance in too many price brackets, but nV basically hasn't had to worry about that for a quarter of a year thanks to dudes investing their life savings into Dogecoin.

yes, then time for mad flips it is a real address at least, but it is currently under the name "CSC Services of Nevada" with just a google search. And while they don't specifically name that address, they don't seem to have a global listing of every possible location. There are no large signs from street view, but again... not a dealbreaker for the kind of complex it is. Not a whole lot going for it, but no smoking guns either. I dunno.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but i'm looking for a video card that can drive 3 displays. Two should just be a standard extended desktop on normal monitors and the third one is connected to a projector via hdmi which would need to mirror one of the monitors. After watching this video it looks like the only way to do this would be to use the two dvi outputs to drive the monitors and a displayport to hdmi adapter for the projector? Is this possible or am I just getting it all wrong?

Is this possible or am I just getting it all wrong? Pretty much any combination of ports will work. A single DP can drive multiple displays if they support DP 1.2 (tends to be finicky in terms of compatibility), and DVI - HDMI adapters are available as well (work on any DVI port, but no audio with most cards). Not all DisplayPorts support HDMI output (but most do), so check that before you buy. Pretty much all modern cards come with three, four, or even five, outputs (typically 2x DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI), so you won't have much of a problem finding a card suitable to your needs.

Rastor posted:According to the rumors it depends on just how bad the issues are with the 20nm process. If the situation is only kinda bad, they'll drag out the 700 series a bit longer, maybe with a price drop if AMD rolls something out. If it's really bad, they'll do 800 parts on the existing 28nm process, like they did with the 750/750ti (which would probably get 800-series rebadgings). Yeah I don't see why they wouldn't, it's not like it would be a waste of time or anything if the 750ti is any indication. Although still a disappointing situation of course.

Does anybody know if I used a lovely smaller monitor as a second display, specifically for this: would it have a significant impact on fps on my main monitor? BF4 supports a battlelog minimap, which I assume isn't part of the game engine but I really have no idea. It would be nice if it actually worked well since I'm in my map at least 50% of the time. I have a bad feeling if its web browser based its not going to be instantly up to date, which is the only reason I use it, but if it isnt be a bad idea for my fps I'll pick up some $25 monitor off craigslist or something and find out. Edit: It is web based, and I can try it with my laptop first. Either way I'd still like to know, but at least I can try it now Ignoarints fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Apr 3, 2014 |

I doubt using a tablet browser would make for a very good experience, but they actually make tablet Battlelog apps, that would probably be pretty nice and smooth. I have a 1440p monitor and use a 1080p secondary for the battlelog/battlescreen whatever map, it works pretty well, though obviously there's a bit of an fps hit that you can't really quantify. Then again just having a second monitor plugged in will cost you an fps or two.

It's not as smooth as the map inside the game itself running at 60+ fps, but if you're already used to looking for stuff on the minimap, then it's probably fast enough to be usable for that. I haven't used it in a little while but last time I checked it was subject to hardcore restrictions, ie if a server has the minimap/3d spotting disabled then I don't think you can use the battlelog map I think I mainly used it to find vehicles while in jets, watch for people getting in vehicles, map-scale stuff like that instead of looking for people popping up because they just shot a bunch of stuff around the corner. Same kind of thing you'd normally use the big map for. Straker fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Apr 3, 2014 |

I'll give a try, but my excitement is diminished to say the least. I bind the large map to a mouse button to locate people around me (in hardcore, with no minimap). It would only work if it were as fast as the in game map however.

Yes, displayport will convert to single link dvi. You need an active adapter to convert to dual link dvi. As long as you are just doing 1080 off of the displayport a cheapo adapter works.

I have another two 750ti's on the way to me, debating whether I should just resell them on the forums, or if I should test my "ghetto SLI" theory where I try to run two instances of one MMO on two different monitors and get each card to dedicate resources to one monitor. Edit: Oh yeah, does anyone know if it would be possible to create a SteamOS VM, dedicate the second 750ti to it, and stream a game to someone else without locking the main OS? It would be awesome if I could basically stream games to renters in my building onto their crap PCs, as an added amenity. Zero VGS fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Apr 4, 2014 |

Yes, if and only if your PC is rather beefy and it includes VT-d support (IOMMU, peripheral virtualization) in the motherboard, CPU, and hypervisor. And then you still need a terminal (monitor hooked up to the physical video card, keyboard and mouse passed to the VM).

I have a question regarding overclocking my 780ti - MSI afterburner lets me increase the voltage by up to 75 mV - Agreed's keppler overclocking guide says to just shove this slider as far as it goes, but he also talks about an upper limit of 38 in his example. Is it safe to increase my card's voltage all the way up to +75?

That slider is non-equivalent from brand to brand, or from SKU to SKU within the same vendor on the same chip. Edit: Oh, yeah, btw, they are draconian as all hell when it comes to how much power it can actually draw so just slide that allll the way over and forget about it. You have to dick with the tables using an editor or flash the BIOS to actually push harmful levels of power through all but the most uber overclocker [h]-style supercards with thirty VRM stages and a spoiler for the top of your comp to make it go faster due to the ground effect.
