I did a fresh install on my brothers laptop whilst it was with me for a screen replacement and it boots ridicoulously quick despite not even having an SSD.
Yes, tbh Windows 8.1 with update was worth upgrading from 7.
8.1 & 10 boot much faster and are generally more responsive, until yesterday I had issues with Windows 10 on my machine but as I suspected it was due to it not liking the boot disk configuration on my motherboard's 6GB/s controller...
Yeah I only want 2 matching monitors (currently have 2 x 27" Viewsonics). The ROGs seem to have mixed reviews however, so I was debating just going for 1 BIG one, but I don't think it will work as well as having two large ones.
It turned out to be a lot more of a faff today, turning the computer on this morning after everything was fine last night resulted in it only seeing 1 of the 2 monitors for some reason (despite the NVidia control panel clearing knowing of 2), the driver set didn't seem to want to re-install...
Well its been a bit of a faff, but I've finally got the 980ti fitted. It turns over the over scaling was due to the monitors being set to HDMI AV, as soon as I set them to HDMI PC its spot on. I'll try and post some pics tomorrow as they won't come out great now.
Its amazing how much things move on, I've just removed the 3 x 580s ready for the 980ti and have just stuck an air cooled 760 in (from my HTPC) to keep me up and runnning and the picture is so much crisper and the computer so much more responsive loading things on-screen.
I was going to upgrade MB/CPU/RAM but decided it wasn't worth it (I've already got i7/12GB RAM/Multiple SSDs). I decided upgrading GPUs (& monitors eventually) was the way to go so I'm moving from my current setup of 3 x Watercooled 580 GTXs to 1 x Watercooled 980ti (I may or may not get a second).
Thanks, I did wonder if there was a setting somewhere but didn't think to check the NVidia control panel, I know I've had similar on the HTPC and TV downstairs.
I just hope it works ok with my two current 1080p monitors, I've tried one over HDMI with my 580 and although it comes on at 1920x1080, it's not right as the taskbar is half off the screen as is the top section of the screen. Worst case scenario I'll end up getting new monitors as well or a...
To be honest, I will be buying high end GPUs further down the road and replacing my monitors, but the majority of my gaming will be on Xbox One these days, this is the main rig I work from the majority of the time. I think I'm just going to stick 32GB in it and be done with it, if I decide to...
Looking at upgrading mine at the moment, but struggling to decide on memory. I can't decide between 32GB and 64GB, my sensible head says 64GB will never get used. Looking at the ASUS Rampage V with 5820k. It seems you can't just buy 32GB now and add 32GB at a later date (mixing even 2...
Reading the thread i was tempted, i enjoyed the first one but it got very repetitive after that. Watching gameplay videos has put me off though, i still don't think its my kind of game anymore, that and with Fallout not being that far away now it would be a waste i feel.
Just to add a bit more, I was on Sky broadband @ 8MB down circa 1MB up before moving to VM. Sky was up 100% of the time, never ever, ever went down. However, they throttled the connection and it was difficult when working from home (I'm quite a heavy home user connecting to numerous remote...
