I have a Win10/Ubuntu/MacOS multiboot UEFI system. Recently my GTX 680 died and I replaced it with GTX 1070. Everything is fine, except the DVI output doesn't work during the boot up and in Windows and MacOS, but it works in Ubuntu, weirdly enough. Currently I'm using one of the DisplayPorts. I...

We have about a dozen of these monitors at work, they are about 1.5-2 years old and none of them has ever been calibrated. A couple of weeks ago we purchased i1Pro spectrophotometer in order to calibrate and profile them. None of us at work are really experienced in this area, although I have a...

The topic is not directly related to displays, but I think this is the best place to post my question. I apologize beforehand in case I'm wrong. The device in question is unused, so the manual says to calibrate it first: I have installed the i1Profiler, the device is connected and sits on...

Nothing terribly important, but still, I was used to it and now, like tons of other things, it seems to have disappeared. I've searched the "Program Events" list in the Sounds tab up and down, but I don't see anything like "Empty Recycle Bin". However, the sound itself is present in the...

So I finally jumped on the train of Windows 8 and, predictably, it has problems with my old Audigy 4 Pro sound card. I'm using Daniel K's Audigy Support Pack 4.5, but I still don't have CMSS2 support. Also, microphone doesn't work. I think it's time for a new dedicated sound card. Preferably...

I have a very annoying problem at work. If I connect my external USB HDD, creating (renaming, deleting, etc.) folders in Windows Explorer takes way too long. When I disconnect it, everything's back to normal. The same drive at home (also Win 7 64-bit) doesn't cause any problems, only at work...

For starters, I've been assembling my own rigs since 1997, so I'm not exactly a rookie in this. On the other hand, I've never actually modded any case before, so this is a new territory for me, and it shows, apparently. Now the problem. Recently I bought CM Storm Scout. Very nice case, I really...

Today I noticed that one of the case fans wasn't rotating. I switched the connector to a different CHA_FAN socket on the motherboard, and that's when the madness started. There was some sort of faint burning smell, followed by desperate beeping. I immediately shut down the system, removed the...

I was playing around with case fans today and at some point both case fan power connectors on the motherboard stopped working. The fans work normally when connected to the PSU, but they don't work with the mobo's case fans connectors anymore. Is it possible that I could have fried them both...

I have CM Storm Scout. I've decided to replace the stock red LED fans with blue ones, also from Cooler Master. The replacement fans arrived today, but I immediately faced this problem: the on/off switch is different from the stock and it cannot be connected to the case. The stock switch is a...

This is exactly what I need: http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=2577 Cooler Master Blue LED On/Off Fan 120mm (R4-L2S-12FB-GP) Unfortunately, I can't get it anywhere in Europe. CMStore.eu doesn't have this specific fan, neither have Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de or Pixmania.com...

I have a GTX 680 and I'm planning to buy a Core i7-2600, so I need a suitable motherboard. I have an Asus P8Z68-V LX at work and it seems to be a solid choice, but there is a small problem: it doesn't support NVIDIA SLI, only Crossfire, so if I decide to go SLI at some point in future, I won't...

I've been playing around with softMCCS the other day. I did some DDC command and compatibility tests, then I restored factory default settings, and that's it. Today I accessed the menu for another calibration session and... voila! It has changed. Please compare: Note the new menu...

A couple of years ago I was looking for a decent replacement for my old no-brand case, which has a nice handle. I'm really used to it, it's very convenient (I often take the case outside to blow some dust off of its entrails). I didn't like the choices back than, so I decided to postpone...

I get barely (but still) distinguishable pinkish color stripes on greyscale gradients after calibration. Is there any way to get rid of them? Monitor: Dell U2410 Monitor preset: Adobe RGB Connection: 10-bit DisplayPort Calibration tool: Spyder4Pro Calibration soft: Argyll CMS + dispcalGUI...

My question is simple: Do I still need D3DOverrider to force triple buffering in D3D games (which don't have native triple buffering option)?

First of all, I'd like to apologize for starting a soft-related thread in a [H]ard category, but it's closely related to display calibration and I have more chances to get the attention of the "fathers of color management" here, in Displays category. Using Argyll CMS/dispcalGUI, I have...

I get this message when trying to start the PC: "Please power down and connect the PCIe power cable(s) for this graphics card" The GTX 680 is by ASUS. Mobo: ASUS P5KC PSU: Corsair HX650W Both power connectors are connected, of course. GTX 460 worked fine on this machine. Replaced...

After some heavy prostitution I finally gathered the 550 EUR ($725) needed for ASUS GTX 680. Don't ask. It's Europe. We pay taxes even for farting here. So, my question is, will it come with DisplayPort cable or should I just buy one in a local store? Has anyone got the ASUS version here to...

I'm seriously considering buying this case, but I don't like white LED and this is why I'm hesitating. Is it possible to replace the white LED with blue on this case? I am no modding expert, but I could do some less complicated stuff. If it is possible, please give me some insight on basic...

GTX 680 costs roughly $700-800 here in Europe. Lucky Americanos get everything cheaper! Anyway, who has the best price in Europe? I need the product to be shipped to Lithuania, to be precise. And no Ebay, please.

My friend has Samsung SyncMaster 971p. It's a great monitor, was quite a hit in its time. But from modern perspective a 19" 4:3 monitor is not exactly the best choice for multimedia and games. So we need a widescreen replacement for it. Here's the list of preferences: Manufacturer: Samsung...

I need a list of NVIDIA GeForce video cards with DisplayPort 1.2 Something tells me the list is going to be very short. :D EDIT: re-worded the title and post for better understanding.

I know they are very (if not completely) different monitors, but it still should be possible to match the colors to some degree, right? At least, they are both IPS, both have CCFL backlight and AG coating. As I see it, the only real problem is the gamut (U2410 is wide gamut, 2490WUXi2 is just...

Excellent out-of-box experience my a$$! But I'm not here to rant, straight to business: White looks bluish on my U2410. After days of rigorous eyeballing I was able to get the colors more or less acceptable, but I can't do anything about the white point. It just seems slightly cooler than...

So, I have changed the system default color profile to a custom ICC profile. All is peachy, but there is a tiny, but quite annoying issue: despite the fact that it's listed as a system default profile (and supposedly should affect the whole system), it kicks in only after the logon. In other...

First of all, let me inform you that being a graphics designer AND a hardcore gamer is a royal pain in the buttocks, when it comes to choosing monitors. That said, I need your help in making an important purchasing decision. Next week I'm gonna need to buy a new monitor from a local store...
