    Card seems to be stuck in low-power mode until I reboot

    Graphics card is a 980Ti, connected to a 27" acer g-sync monitor. This started maybe around a month ago. I usually keep my computer on most of the time and have sleep/hibernate disabled. I'll load up and play a game just fine, then go do other things then when I come back and load up a game...

    What did you buy from the Steam Thanksgiving sale?

    Still at work so haven't purchased anything yet but thinking of Sword Coast Legends. Reviews are referring this to as a diablo-like action rpg. Is this accurate? I wouldn't mind another loot hunting action rpg. Besides that, nothing really looks interesting or I already have it. May try...

    Transfer win8.1 upgrade ticket?

    On my old computer I have Win 8.1 and I did that 'reserve win10' thing. Well.. it is out of commission and I built a new one and just threw win 10 on it directly. It now occurred to me that this means I will have trouble when it comes out. Can I transfer the upgrade ticket thing over some...

    Will a 500W 80 Plus Gold powersupply run a 980 TI?

    So without getting into a tldr about how I hate my giant full size case now and feel like running to Microcenters and build myself a new ITX box.. As the subject says, will a EVGA 500W 80 Plus Gold rated power supply be able to run a 980 TI? I'm thinking of getting...

    So I was watching Blades of Glory on my original 360 Elite with the HD-DVD player (yes I have one :) ) and it froze up with graphic artifacts. Restarted and tried playing some DOOM and same thing. Opened it up, as I had modded it and it had been opened already, and it is out of warranty and...

    660 Ti, time to upgrade?

    I've been out of the video card loop for awhile and I thought my graphics card was fine but playing Dying Light last night made me a little sad. I play at 1920x1200 and to make it semi-smooth I have to turn off all the additional effects like HBAO and AA and Motion Blur and some other option...

    AIX makes me sad I want to install bash shell on this but I probably shouldn't.. Is there a way to give ksh command-like completion like bash? I know you can set it to use emacs or vi bindings but it would be nice if I could just be able to use tab for command completion and up/down arrows...

    I got a headphone amp and it has a 1/8" input as well as RCA inputs. I'm wondering if it would make a difference to hook up via a 1/8" to RCA plug or if it will be exactly the same as the 1/8" to 1/8" that is currently hooked up.
