Thanks again for your advice. Regarding used GPUs, I know it's a crapshoot out there, but in dipping my toes in the eBay waters I see a number of listings mention things like 'Bitcoin mining use only, for six months.'
Is that really a selling point? I'd figure bitcoin mining would involve...
Thanks for the info. I'll stay away from repairs on this, for the reason you mentioned. I may pop the case open to see if anything's bulging or burned out, but that'll be the extent of my investigation. Shame about the PSU, it was my first gourmet unit....
I have a 5 year old PC with:
Core i5-7600 CPU
16 GB RAM
1 SSD drive, 512 MB
2 HDD, 4 GB each
Blu-Ray DVD
Radeon R9 270
550W PSU
The setup right now is fine for some racing sims I play on occasion; I don't need 4K graphics with full eye candy but I don't want a 3 FPS experience either if I get...
I've used a Seasonic 1250w PSU for the past five years. A couple of days ago I came home from work and my PC was shut off. I figured there had been a power hiccup from the utility, though no other appliances seemed to be affected, so I rebooted and moved on.
About 30 minutes later the PC...
I'm a TV luddite and only just broke down and paid $199 for a 32" Samsung LED 1080p set. 60hz.
Only weighs 9 lbs, which for a guy who had a tube set that weighed what a subway train does us amazing. My understanding is that 720p on a 32" set is fine, but the sale price on the 1080p was...
I bought the original GRID the other day for $15, and am quite impressed. But I've been using the keyboard to steer with, and that's frustrating.
Are there any decent controllers out there I can use with my PC? I don't need anything fancy, but solid.
Well, what I get is a 'DNS server not available' message now in Win 8 when I'm thethered, so it's not just a browser thing I think? I can't even ping sites, much less browse to them.
I'll have to look at Assetto Corsa, thanks for the tip. Don't have any controllers, nor do I have a PS3 I can borrow from; any recommendations for casual use, a good step above the keyboard but nothing that'll break the bank?
I've put together a new desktop after 5 years of getting by. Not a total speed demon but an i5 46xx (xx==can't remember offhand), an R9 270, and 16 GB of Ram. I want to put it through its paces.
Been a while since I played video games, but I always like driving / racer games. Nothing too...
Until recently I was able to tether to my Windows 8 phone on PTel mobile (T-mobile MVNO.)
Now, I'm skunked, likely because of t-mobile's recent plan changes on their pre-paid plans. (When I called PTel to ask what was up they replied shocked, since they don't even offer tethering, had no idea...
I think you're right. I'm not seeing anything in the manual about doing the conversion, and for kicks I hooked up the DVD player to the receiver's hdmi input port.
I've connected the component cables to every output I could find on the back of the unit and tried all sorts of menu...
