    Need suggestions for a case with vertical GPU mount

    There aren't many that aren't some kinda open air or overly expensive things. Silverstone has done a lot of that, with the board pointed up and mounted from the opposite of normal side (meaning PC on your left instead of right). I'm still running my old FT-02 and nothing has yet motivated me to...

    Rift S

    Mine does that too, for the two minutes at a time it works. I've found that holding down the trigger/pointer finger when releasing something to throw it makes it work right. Pretty lame. I am astounded by how bad this one works and how well the OG Rift works. I know it's been out awhile but...

    Rift S

    Rift owner with no real complaints, bought a Rift S and am yet to be able to actually use the thing. Issue is controllers freeze in space, can still tilt/rotate/use buttons, but they will not move from where they freeze at. I've been going through the usual stuff with tech support and they seem...

    Metro Exodus Is an Epic Store Exclusive

    This is starting to be the cyber equivalent of there being a 7-11 across from every jiffy mart, or whatever those two drug stores are that are always diagonal from each other across an intersection.

    nvlddmkm stopped responding....

    No more crashes with 8.1 still, but I can still get some weird screen off/on or color blanking if I move a browser window from one monitor to the other. But, it's minimal and isn't locking the damn PC up, so yay I guess.

    nvlddmkm stopped responding....

    So 8.1 isn't crashing at least. I do still get a momentary black screen on one monitor or the other sometimes when I'm opening a video, netflix or amazon. It's peculiar and must be driver/browser related. Games fine, stress test fine, not overclocked, overclocked, same same behavior. Only...

    nvlddmkm stopped responding....

    It's a Lenovo E5-1650v2 in a different case with a good Seasonic PSU and a GTX1080, and it was rock solid for a long time on windows 8.1. I first noticed on 10 it was less stable with my mild overclocks (afterburner and Intel ETU), and I've been through several 416.xx driver updates now and a...

    nvlddmkm stopped responding....

    So I tried windows 10 again a few weeks ago, with my gtx1080. All was well on 8.1. I've off and on had this blank screen bit for a few seconds, usually with a driver resetting message in event log, seems worse watching netflix on 2nd monitor, never does it in games. Just now, it logged that...

    1440P larger than 27"

    So, I'm a dumbass sorta, just to get that out of the way. I found a TCL 43S405 cheap awhile ago: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/s-series-4k-2017-s405 My first 4k, my first larger than 27", and clearly illustrating the fact that I'm no sort of competitive gamer, I love it.

    Weird GFE glitch

    FIXED, set GFE to ignore screen scaling and bam, kinda fat looking but it works fine now. NV tech support was also stumped when I tried em this afternoon.

    Weird GFE glitch

    I did this last time going from 1060 to 1080, full DDU with reboots and ccleaner and the whole rigamarole. It's been screwed up long before and still is after.

    Weird GFE glitch

    Nah no filtering, other than what win8.1 does by default. It's worked before for ages, just started this at some point in the last few months. I've reinstalled it a couple times here and there, it's the same when logged in, weird double windows, pretty unusable. No other issues with the full...

    I just bought a 1080ti, I'm going to hold out till 2019 for my next GPU, who's with me??

    I will say, the 1080 isn't enough for 4K for the money, and I'm not a FPS whore or anything, or a serious gamer even by any reasonable standard. It was an upgrade from a 1060 and it's "okay", but not enough performance at 4K for the money. What I am going to do, instead of buying a TI or a...

    I just bought a 1080ti, I'm going to hold out till 2019 for my next GPU, who's with me??

    Honestly it's just too much money. I'm pretty comfy middle class enthusiast, I can spend $500 on a gpu, in between the $500's getting spent on my other handful of hobbies. You start getting in the $700+ range for one component, it's just too much. I've bought a number of cool old cars for less...

    FAA Investigating Teen That Made The Gun-Firing Drone

    I was thinking actual targeting software that would sample wind and object movement and alter the drones position to make whatever it's dropping hit the target. Stuffs been around for aircraft forever in one form or another.

    FAA Investigating Teen That Made The Gun-Firing Drone

    It really is a shame when a few bad apples screw things up for others, but I agree it was only a matter of time. This will not be the last I'm sure, you can guarantee after this vid was made there are dozens if not hundreds of people out there trying to build their own now. And just as...

    Americans Can’t Seem To Stop Pointing Lasers At Planes

    Yeah, you aren't wrong on that score, but there really is more to the world than the internet. I'd agree the US has more stupids on the internet for sure. And the UK folks I talk to are of a pretty consistently higher caliber overall, they can somehow say something dumb but be pleasant and...

    Americans Can’t Seem To Stop Pointing Lasers At Planes

    I talk to about a dozen foreign folks a day, all over the world, for high end car parts. In my observation stupid does not follow any sort of borders on a map. It's quite possibly cultural though, there are a lot of things that go on here that don't elsewhere. You can say that about anywhere...

    Stephen Hawking Backs Venture To Listen For Aliens

    I forget which series but there is a great scifi book that touches on how the expectation of religion dieing off in the future after contact with starfaring races happens, and proof is found that mankind was seeded and curated by them long ago. Long story short it does not die out, it just...

    Americans Can’t Seem To Stop Pointing Lasers At Planes

    Little OT but isn't it odd we are apparently pushing for autonomous cars, but after all these years of various types of aircraft auto-pilot, there isn't any talk of getting rid of human pilots? Russia sent a spacecraft, the shuttle copy, into orbit and back remotely/autonomously decades ago...

    WTF is detailing the same thing that's happened to most windows OS's before, no different with 7 other than it was a lot better to start with.

    Well spoken and true. I honestly don't believe a damn word of profits or sales or market share or any of that other stuff from anyone anymore. None of it. With the rare exception of when there is hard, plain english, inarguable data about a thing. Which isn't often.

    PC Market Continues To Decline Ahead Of Windows 10 Release

Not really great and not on the settings or resolution any of us would want, but it could. Didn't Steam say most of their users...
