GTA V Shadow Fix

This fixes the problem of shadows disappearing about 7 feet from your character, I found it very annoying, especially around chain link fences, they would just completely disappear just feet away, these shadows remain at a long distance, the links may slim out as you get further, but they remain, and more importantly it fixes ground shadows just appearing and disappearing depending on your distance.

Only the next two values need to be changed, you need to open your settings.xml file in My Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA V/settings.xml

Find these two values

Code:

    <Shadow_SplitZStart value="X.XXXXXX" />
    <Shadow_SplitZEnd value="X.XXXXXX" />

and change them to this
Code:

    <Shadow_SplitZStart value="1.000000" />
    <Shadow_SplitZEnd value="0.999900" />

To make Shadows even better you can make sure you have these enabled, or in the case of ShadowDistance put it up to 1.9 without problems, although it will use more resources.
Code:

<Shadow_Distance value="1.900000" />
<Shadow_LongShadows value="true" />
<Shadow_SoftShadows value="5" />
<UltraShadows_Enabled value="true" />
<Shadow_ParticleShadows value="true" />

Code:

<Shadow_SoftShadows value="4" />
for AMD soft shadows, 123 for low medium high

Uploading comparison videos to youtube now, I have a very slow connection and they were recorded at 1080 60 fps so they aren't small.

Voltage adjustment greyed out

I have an Asus EAH6850 voltage tweak. I might try some water cooling soon, so I wanted to be able to use this setting. I've tried Asus GPU tweak and that didn't seem to work either and is generally a much inferior alternative to MSI afterburner and quite a bit more buggy.

Its pretty ironic that my card has voltage tweak written on the box and I can't adjust the voltage!

is the i7 4770 worth it?

i am buying a new cpu+motherboard this weekend and while i planned to get a i5, was told the i7 would last me longer and its $50 more than the i5 i wanted to get.

also hearing the Xeon is a great chip too at half the price.

Hey guys, as of right now, I'm the proud owner of an i5-2300, alongside my HD7870. I was planning on upgrading my gpu to a gtx 970, in which case, will my cpu be a bottleneck? If i have to, I'd prefer to upgrade to a 4th gen i5, and if so will i see any discernible difference? Thanks!

GeForce GTX 980 Ti With GM200-310 GPU

Quote:

Today are going to talk about GeForce GTX 980 Ti.

While everyone is waiting for Radeon 300 series, NVIDIA is busy developing yet another flagship card that will target yet unreleased Fiji-based Radeon graphics cards.

Some of you might have noticed that we didn’t cover recent GTX 980 Ti rumors. It was for two reasons: nothing was confirmed (not even the name of the card) and secondly almost everything that was posted was based on speculation. This post however, is based solely on our new information provided by credible source (thanks Jen-Hsun!).

GeForce GTX 980 Ti with GM200-310 GPU


First of all, we can confirm that the next installment in GeForce 900 series is codenamed GTX 980 Ti. NVIDIA took the same path as with TITAN BLACK and GTX 780 Ti. GTX TITAN X will continue to offer maximum memory capacity (12GB), while GeForce GTX 980 Ti just a half of this enormous frame buffer (6GB).

Both cards share the same board model and probably the same reference cooler. The difference is, GTX 980 Ti will be available with custom cooling solutions (unlike TITAN X, although there are few exceptions).

We are aware of few GTX 980 Ti models already. We can tell you to expect a full variety of coolers: reference, custom-air-cooled, watercooled and hybrids.

We can also confirm that GTX 980 Ti will have five display outputs: three DisplayPorts, HDMI and DVI-I, so same as TITAN X. We were unable to confirm the existence of ‘metal enhanced edition’, so I wouldn’t probably pay too much attention to this rumor.

What still remains unconfirmed are the specifications. Although everyone is confident GTX 980 Ti has full GM200 silicon, we cannot confirm this to you just yet. We can however confirm, that GeForce GTX 980 Ti will sport GM200-310 GPU. How does it differ from GM200-400? We don’t know (yet).

To sum up:

cheaper GM200-based graphics card is codenamed GeForce GTX 980 Ti;
GeForce GTX 980 Ti has GM200-310 GPU
GeForce GTX 980 Ti has 6GB of GDDR5 memory;
GeForce GTX 980 Ti will be available with custom cooling solutions;
GeForce GTX 980 Ti has 5 display outputs: 3xDP, HDMI, DVI-I

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti is expected to arrive in few weeks. Stay tuned for more.

NASA's Messenger probe will crash into Mercury at 3:30pm ET today



It's been a long and hard road for NASA's Messenger Probe as it studied the surface of Mercury for the last four years. That journey, however, will come to an end today, after NASA announced that the craft will crash land into the planet at around 3:30pm ET today. The vehicle was the first that managed to make it to Mercury, and has been in service for more than a decade -- far longer than administrators had ever expected it to last. In fact, the project was only meant to last for a year, but canny fuel-saving measures managed to quadruple its lifespan.

Hardware for playing "old" games on 4k/UHD monitor

Hi guys,

I want buy some 4k/UHD monitor for general use including gaming. I have read lots of threatening articles about how you need SLI and/or Titan GPUs to be able to play games on such large resolution. But the thing is I do not play games like Crysis 3 or Far Cry 4. I really enjoy only older and non-demanding games like Dota 2, Diablo 3, Deus Ex: HR (and BG:EE, Hearthstone or MTGO but those are more like office applications :) ). Sadly I do not find any benchmark for mentioned games on 4k/UHD resolution.

What is you realistic view on needed hardware to play, lets say Dota 2 or Deux Ex: HR on decent details at decent FPS at 4k/UHD resolution? Bonus question: do I need G-Sync?

[PC Gamer] AMD and PC Gamer bring the PC Gaming Show to E3

Quote:

There's never been a better time to play games on PC. Gaming-capable hardware is inexpensive, digital distribution has given us unprecedented access to a huge range of games, and publishers have finally recognized that reports of its demise as a viable platform were ludicrously exaggerated. And soon the PC will have its own celebratory event during E3 week, with the first-ever PC Gaming Show, presented by AMD and put together by, well, us.
"The PC Gaming Show embodies the spirit of innovation, openness and community that's part of our DNA—delivered by gamers, for gamers," AMD Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Computing and Graphics Matt Skynner said. "The time is right for a PC-focused event in the week of E3 and we're honored to be part of bringing the industry together."
Hosted by Sean "Day[9]" Plott, the PC Gaming Show at E3 will feature appearances by Dean Hall of DayZ fame, Cliff Bleszinski of Boss Key Productions, and developers from studios including Blizzard, Bohemia Interactive, Cloud Imperium Games, Tripwire Interactive, Square Enix, Obsidian, Paradox, Devolver Digital and the Humble Bundlers, with more to be announced.
"We’re living in a golden age of PC gaming, but unlike other platforms the PC has no format holder, no marketing department, and—until now—no event during E3 week purely devoted to it," added Tim Clark, global editor-in-chief at PC Gamer. "We think a show like this, which brings together people from every corner of PC gaming to celebrate the exciting things happening, is long overdue. We hope you’ll join us, in person or on stream, to be part of it."
The PC Gaming Show will take place on June 16 at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, and will of course be livestreamed on Twitch. Find out more at PCGamingShow.com.

Newbie needs Dual Monitor Setup - Best budget 2560x1400 for approx £300 2nd hand?

I wonder if you guys could give me your opinion?

I am trying to get hold of a used 2nd hand dual monitor setup of at least 27" each in size with a minimum res of 2560x1440. I watched the MKBHD setup tour and decided I need 2 decent size monitors to edit video etc as up until now I've made do with a single 23" Apple cinema. I was looking at ASUS and the IPS 27" PB278QR but then realised the PLS version PB278Q is more or less just as good (possibly a little brighter) for a fair bit less cost wise 2nd hand (£250-£350).

I've also recently actually also checked out the ancient 2009 Apple Cinema 30" displays which sell on ebay for around £300-£400 and still offer a dpi of 100 compared with the Asus dpi of 109 and offer a res of 2560x1600. My budget is around £500-700 for both really and I dont want to go beneath a res of 2560x1440.

What does anyone think? Any advice greatly appreciated!!

Nvidia Inspector for non-admins?

So the latest release of Nvidia Inspector now requires admin rights to run. According to the change notes, this is because of the overclocking functions. Would it be possible to get a version that runs without admin rights and still lets you edit the profiles?

FYI I tried creating an app compatibility fix (shim) that forces the app down to standard user rights, and it does run, but then when I click on the 'profiles' button it asks for elevation...

Z97X-Gaming GT New BIOS F6

There's a new BIOS update (it has been almost a year since the last update) on the official page for the board. I am reluctant to update to it because it says it's not backward compatible (aka it won't allow you to switch back to older versions once you've updated). I've had bad experience with Gigabyte Updates (they tend to screw things on purpose sometimes it seems, as to get people to upgrade). Has anyone tried updating and noticed any differences whatsoever? If anyone can find a detailed change-log for the new F6 BIOS for this board that would also be great (all it says on the official page is added support for Intel's new generation CPU's). Weird that if we update to it we can't revert back to older versions.

Is Killing Floor 2 any fun?

I'm in desperate need of an fps to play. I need it to look pretty and be fun. I'm not into the Call of Battlefield Ops Warfare Duty stuff (The first Call of Duty on the old quake 3 engine was amazing, haven't touched the series since, same said with Battlefield ...after 1942, no thanks, became to consolized)

I'm messing with beta maps of Unreal Tournament 4 but the public and the official maps just aren't coming out very fast at all. I don't think that thing will be ready for a year.

So then I saw Killing Floor 2 is out...at least early access...which I hate because normally that means "buy our unfinished game that may or may not actually ever come out". But desperate times call for desperate measures.

So has anyone played it? Is it mindless fun like the Serious Sam series? I know it's yet-another-unreal 3-game, so I know what to expect visually. How does it compare to the original?

Car stereo, what codec to use...?

(Not sure if this would go in here...)

I bought a cheap, chinese, navigation head unit off of amazon and it works fantastic, plays pretty much everything up to DVDs. When I try to play an .avi though, it gets really picky.

It's a windows CE 6.1 based unit though I'm not sure if the media player is winCE based.

It can play older (6-8 years old?) .avi files I have lying around but I can't seem to encode other videos to those playable parameters properly as the best my re-encodes ever do is play audio (no video).

Here's the media info from an .avi that it will play:

I've tried using "handbrake" and "format factory" with about 30-40 different video codec configurations with no success. Do I need to use an older encoding app or uninstall my codecs and install older ones?

There is very little info about this particular unit on the web. I wish I could find the magic codec combination/encoding app so I could encode some stuff to have in the car on a thumb drive or SD card.

Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. :)

wolfenstein TNO was definitely a back to it's roots shooter, an old school feel with modernized delivery, any new shooter you are looking for that can be as good as that game? i believe we may have to wait for a new rage game from ID software.

Question about current "Used" GTX 680 price's

I have been wanting to sell my EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Superclocked Signature 2GB, for quite awhile now. A guy just sold the same model on Ebay for a little more than 400 US dollars. I have also seen them for sale on other sites for 400 and up. My question is WHY?? I don't see why anyone would buy this model for that price when you can get something better for less. The only thing I can think of is there are still people who want one for SLi. Any ideas why they sell for this amount?

This is the card I have http://ift.tt/1PZ4Syq

AMD 2016 Roadmap Confirmed! 8 Cores are Back!

AMD 2016 Roadmap Confirmed! 8 Cores are Back!





We have just got our hands on AMD's Roadmaps for 2016, A successor to FX is coming! 14nm is confirmed 8 cores are back and AMD may be back in the game!

On the desktop side we see a new socket from AMD, the FM3 socket which will act as both a replacement for the FM2 and AM3+ platforms, as far as we are aware right now the socket will support DDR4 memory, though it could also come with motherboard which support today's DDR3 DIMMs.

On the performance end, AMD will be bringing 8-core CPUs back with Summit Ridge, so AMD fans will finally be able to replace their aging FX 8350s with a new 8-core CPU powered by AMD's new Zen Architecture. It expected that AMD will also release a lower end 6-core Zen based CPU.

AMD's Zen CPUs will all be made using a 14nm finFET manufacturing process, thought right now it is unknown if AMD will be using Global Foundries or Samsung for manufacturing these chips.

Russian Progress rocket M-27M going to crash soon

Quote:

A Russian Soyuz 2-1A rocket lofted the latest Progress resupply vehicle (M-27M) for what was supposed to be a fast rendezvous trip to the International Space Station (ISS). The launch of the Progress – riding on a Soyuz 2-1A for the first time – occurred at 07:09 GMT on Tuesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. However, numerous problems have resulted in what may be a lost vehicle, as it was seen spinning wildly on orbit.

Nintendo Emulator Developer Passes Away

Official Dolphin Commemoration: Here
Quote:

On Thursday, April 23rd, we lost part of our family. Rachel Bryk tragically died at just 23 years old.

It's hard to believe that just two years ago, Rachel was reluctant to submit changes to the emulator at all due to being relatively inexperienced. But over the course of two years, she spent a considerable amount of time working on what she loved, becoming the tenth most active developer over the time period.

She often would do a lot of the drudge work that no one else would do and attempt features that no one else had time to work on. Much of her time in Dolphin was dedicated to giving TASers the tools they needed to be able to make ridiculous videos pushing games to and past their absolute limits. Without her dedicated work, it's very likely that Wiimote TASing would not have become stable enough for general usage as it is now. She was also responsible for improvements in savestates, netplay, the user interface, configuration, and more.
RIP and thank you for your contributions to the greatest emulator ever.

Reinstalling windows 7 without losing any data or files

Ok look, Ive been trying to solve my USB driver problem for 3 days already, and none of them are success. So I decided to do a windows reinstall, or refresh maybe? without losing any data or files or even installed program inside my windows, it means this is not formatting. Maybe with reinstalling, I hope it can overwrite my current windows data (which is broken) with a new windows (that Im going to install). I have windows 7 ultimate SP1 and an ISO for windows installation which is not including SP1, is it working? If not, I will download the SP1 iso later.


First, I can only make an installation in boot section because Im not able to get into desktop since all my usb ports are not working and the mouse and keyboard will also not working, so I cant control my desktop.

Second, I want to make sure I wont lose any files during the reinstallation since I dont have any external to make backup of my files or data.

Third, sorry for my bad English.

New Graphics Card: Is it compatible and should I bother?

Hi,

I’m looking at getting a new graphics card for my computer since my old one is pretty much fried. My computer is a Gateway FX6860, about 3 and half years old, with the following specs:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) 19-2600 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 16.0GB DDR3 Memory
Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce GTX560Ti 1280MB
Hard Drive: 128GB Solid-State Drive + 2TB Hard Drive
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium

The fan on my current graphics card have become extremely loud (sounds like an airplane) and it has difficulty running new games on the highest settings. Subsequently I’m looking at upgrading to the GeForce GTX 970. So I’m wondering if this card compatible with my PC (the exact model I’m looking at is: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 256bit, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DP SLI Ready Graphics Card)? And if so is this a good idea or should I instead be looking at buying a whole new system?

Thanks!

What can DX12 really do for Xbox One?

My first thought is...aren't consoles different? The api's aren't like PC api's, so why the heck is dx12 even going into a console?

My second thought, the hardware isn't getting upgraded, so MS is completely relying on software to improve things? How much can they really improve?

I'm reading all these disqus moronic ps4 vs xbox one comments, forums, etc. And everyone keeps saying "Xbox One will hit 1080p with no issues when dx12 hits, it will be more powerful than ps4".

If this is even 10% true, why did MS not implement it into the Xbox One in the first place?

I just don't see the api improving things more than 5fps at MOST. Even that, by itself, would be impressive considering the improvement through software on the same hardware.

So my question is, what can DX12 do for the Xbox One?

AMD's Zen CPU cores are rumored to be coming in 2016 on Global Foundries' 14nm FinFET process and from the CPU block design we see below AMD will be focusing on Zen's per core CPU performance, rather than focusing on delivering more, but limited, CPU cores.

First Build

Hello all. So I am looking at doing my first ever build and I've been doing a fair amount of research through tom's hardware, PC world as well as some on this site as well. I finally went and made a wishlist through newegg and I found an awesome website call PCpartpicker.com which let's me input everything I selected and tells me whether it's compatible or not which so far everything is. However I would like some of you to take a look at what I selected and let me know what the build will be capable of as well as what I may need to switch out for better performance. So the list is as follows:

Intel Core i3-4160 dual core

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

ASRock H97M Pro4 Micro ATX Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB)

Western Digital 1TB 7200RPM hdd

Asus Geforce GT 720

NZXT Phantom 240 case

Corsair CXM series CX430M

Fractal Design silent series R2 140mm fan

One final not is that I do intend to be selling this. I want to expand my knowledge much more before I build my own (hopefully) liquid cooled gaming monster.

SB-E or IB-E. Opinions wanted!

Hey folks,

Really Im just asking personal opinions here. Im way past the point of "which do I need", because what I "need", is unimportant to me anyway.

Currently have the build to my left. I guess I have a decent chip, it needs some more voltage than Id like to run stable at 4.5ghz, but thats on an H100i.


So really its this.

What would YOU personal prefer doing.

-Keep the current hardware, and spend up to as much as 600 on custom water. Definitely cool the cpu, possibly the chipsets.. mayybe the gpu(although unlikely with the budget.) It'd be a classic soft tubing build if you were curious. 1/2 x 3/4 R3603 Tygon tubing, like always.

-Switch the current chip for a 4930k, update the bios on the RIVE to make it work all nice together, and run a AIO liquid cpu cooler. H100i, or possibly a 110i if I also change cases.

Im really torn between what to do, so Im just curious what you all would do. Keep in mind, Ive done a fully custom water build before, HydroCopper SLI 580s, full compression fittings, all sleeved cables, whole thing color matched.. so its not like I havent experienced the awesomeness of doing that(or the headache, depending on your point of view lol) http://ift.tt/1b8xZzt

So, anyway yeah, just curious what YOU would do.

Five originals. And five 16KHz Low Pass intruders.
Are you able to distinguish between originals and low-pass intruders?

To make things more interesting and to prevent cheating via spectral analysis, we make things little more complicated.
Intruder is not a mere 16kHz low pass filter of original. Intruder is a low pass filter of original with added 16kHz+ garbage.

For the past while I have been rocking the 760, and while it is a great card I have been building a few rigs with 900 series cards and was thinking about upgrading.

So yesterday I dropped into the tech shop and picked up a 960 2gb card, popped it in and gave it a go. Maybe I am crazy but I really dont see much of an improvement in the games I play!

The effects appear pretty much the same and FPS increase is minimal. After running a few monitors I can see that the 2gb if vram seems to low as almost every game I run is taking up 1700 - 2000 and overlapping onto the system ram.

I am about to start some research but wanted you insights... should I just upgrade to the 970? is there actually a purpose or is the 760 good enough?

The games I play mostly now are WoW, WoT, ESO, GW2, COD, etc.

Thanks!

295x2 Fan Amperage Capacity?

I have a pair of 295x2's and they are running well right now with ambient temps in my basement of ~70F. The cards run less than 70C max during heavy gaming and I havent tried anything like Furmark because afterburner wont report the VRM temps of the cards so I'm scared. :(

In the future I would like to replace the stock radiator fans to something more capable. Noise is absolutely not a concern because the computer is in a closet behind an insulated wall from my gaming station. I can turn all the fans up to high and I cant hear it at all. Closet has good venting so it never heats up in there. I just want to be prepared in case I need more cooling for an overclock on the cards or in case my limited gaming experience on this setup (less than 2 months) is not representative.

Question is would the stock 295x2 PCB fan header support somthing like this? http://ift.tt/1bxsafG

Its a .6A 4000RPM fan.
I wonder if the fan header on the card will support the traditional 1A, that most motherboards do on their fan headers.

Thanks! :)

Setup:
Asus X99-A, 5820K, 16GB DDR4, 250GB EVO 850, Quadfire 295x2's, 1600W EVGA G2, Fractal R5 Case.

...Microsoft, who is working with chip vendors Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and Qualcomm to protect Hollywood’s movies from piracy as they travel through your PC. The technology it’s promoting is called PlayReady 3.0.

Microsoft is also dangling promises for consumers: Buy a Windows 10 system with PlayReady, Microsoft says, and you’ll be able to view Hollywood’s latest movies in all their 4K glory. Without Microsoft’s hardware DRM technology—pay attention, those of you with older PCs—you may only be able to view a lower-quality version of the film.

AMD Has Surprises In Store With Its Upcoming Radeon 300 Series

Quote:

Exclusive: According to our industry sources, AMD has a few surprises in store for us when it comes to the Radeon R9 390X, and the other GPUs that will arrive with the Radeon 300 series.

Our source wouldn't elaborate, but they did say that the new Radeon R9 390X will arrive with specifications and possibly features that are different to what the rumors currently suggest. We've reported that the Radeon R9 390X would come with two versions; the 4GB and 8GB products with GDDR5 or High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM1) from SK Hynix. But, we've heard from other industry sources not long ago that there would be tight stock when the 390X launches, which could be caused by yield issues on HBM1. We've also reported that the R9 390X would arrive as a watercooled version, but now we're getting new information.



Something interesting that our source said, was that if HBM1 provides what it on paper should provide very easily, "NVIDIA are in trouble". Now, for what we know, there are only a few launches from NVIDIA for this year. First, the rumored GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which will be a cutdown GM200 GPU, the same found on the Titan X. Second, there's also news of NVIDIA allowing add-in board (AIB) partners to use aftermarket coolers on the Titan X, which will see a big injection of speed from Titan X cards from the likes of MSI, ASUS, and more.



The GTX 980 Ti from NVIDIA could be interesting, as it will most likely provide users with Titan X like performance, with 6GB of VRAM. According to the rumors, AMD should have either 4GB or 8GB of HBM1, and if our sources are right with the promised performance of HBM1, could NVIDIA really be in "trouble"?



AMD can't surprise and be on a smaller process, with 28nm the current slab NVIDIA and AMD have used with their latest cards. No one is ready for mass production of 14nm for GPUs, so maybe we're going to see a 28nm-based card with HBM1, and some surprising performance benefits. Mix this in with the Fiji XT and Fiji VR architectures, and a 4096-bit memory bus. If we're getting 640GB/sec+ of memory bandwidth, and some added performance from Fiji, AMD could have a real big winner on its hands.

HBM1 has bandwidth of around 640GB/sec compared to cards that are averaging 300GB/sec or so right now, with HBM2 promising up to 1.2TB/sec, or 1200GB/sec. Double what HBM1 is promising, and up to four times the memory bandwidth of the average Radeon R9 290X or GeForce GTX Titan X from today. The last time we saw HBM2 was at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference, with a beautiful HBM2 wafer on display by SK Hynix.

Capturing desktop with QuickSync doesn't work for 2 latest drivers

I use QuickSync for video encoding in Afterburner.

I've found that the two latest Intel graphics drivers:
15.36.19.64.4170 (released 10th Apr 2015) and
15.36.18.64.4156 (released 6th Mar 2015)
don't capture desktop - result is a black video. Audio works. If I switch to non-QuickSync encoding (MJPEG), it works.

The latest working driver (or at least the latest I have downloaded) is
15.36.7.64.3960 (released 3rd Oct 2014).


*

I have tried multitude of QuickSync settings (half frame, lower quality, lower bitrate), but my main settings are:
Afterburner: full frame (1920x1200), 60 fps capture, no framerate limit, dedicated encoder server (64-bit), two audio streams: one from speakers (6ch), another from mic, MKV
QuickSync: best quality, 18 Mbps

I have Intel Core i5-4690K with Intel HD Graphics 4600.

I have primary AMD graphics card, and have tried with both the latest WHQL Catalyst driver (14.12 Omega) and the beta (15.4).

*

I've been pulling my hair out because I also had a mod compatibility problem in Dragon Age: Origins that prevented video capture in that game. Because I couldn't capture even desktop I assumed the problem had to be in drivers... After 6 combinations of AMD/Intel drivers - most tested multiple times, checking Windows integrity, testing RAM and testing CPU overclock, disabling mods was the last thing I tried!

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Is there a problem on my end?

Evaluation of a PC I'd like to buy

A few years ago I built a mini-ITX light-gaming PC for a friend. Nowadays she doesn't use it anymore, and I just so happen to need one, so I asked if she'd like to sell it and she said yes. Thing is, I'm not sure how much it's worth.

Here are the specs:

Mobo: Asrock H67M-ITX
CPU: i5 2300
GPU: Radeon HD 6670
RAM: 8GB Corsair 1333
HD: 1TB, not sure of brand (this is going to be replaced by my current SSD, but I could use the extra storage)

All in a customized (by myself) mini-ITX case which I found after looking for one with better cooling and PSU than your average tiny-puter. You can see the result here, as I needed to make some air ducts for the video card and thought of snapping a few pics of the process.

All I need is the main box, as I already have all the ancillaries and I intend to buy a new screen for it.

How much should I give her for it?

2questions about Ati Catalyst Control Center

Hi.

Guru3D I got 2question for you and thank you very much for your answers.

1question:

I don,t know what I,m doing wrong or not but I notice if I install latest drivers for my video card,I can,t open Ati Catalyst Control Center,I removed latest drivers with DDU many times and then install drivers but again I can,t open Ati Control Center,why? I have been thinking is it possible that Ati Amd doesn,t support my video card and this could be a reason why I am unble to open Ati Control Center even I run latest drivers for my video card,however the only way to get access to Ati Control Center menu is to install drivers from CD,is that mean that my video card only support Ati Control Center from CD and if install latest drivers for XP which are 14.4 Ati Control Center won,t work beacuse Ati Amd doesn,t support my video card+OS?

2question:

When you open Ati Catalyst Control Center you got option 3D and if you click on 3D you can change settings for Anti Aliasing-Mipmap Detail Level......I haven,t change anything in 3D section but I do have a question maybe 2.

"Do you recommended to change anything in 3D section?" What is recommended to change?

"If you move all sliders to Quality in 3D settings,will you get better picture in games?

Thank you.

New system sounds in Windows 10

New system sounds in Windows 10 for desktop brings a modern aural experience



It should come of little surprise that besides a new OS, design language, icons and imagery that Windows 10 also brings some new sounds. We are specifically referring to the alerts, buzzes, and notifications that occur when you a new email arrives, an error happens, or whatever.

The site WP7Forum.ru has posted eight new sounds discovered in one of the Technical Preview builds for Windows 10. As far as we know, these are not user-ready yet, and it is not clear if the sounds are hidden, or they are just using an unreleased preview build of the OS.

The alerts all have a very similar tone to them, which is very mellow and perhaps even soothing. This observation is especially true when compared to the current default sounds in Windows 8.1.

Considering we now live in a world where our watches, phones, tablets, and computers all give us notifications, making the Windows 10 ones soft and calming in 2015 is preferred to a klaxon-like buzz.

It is currently unknown if Windows 10 for mobile shares the same sound scheme, or if it will have something a little more jarring. Regardless, like all previous versions of Windows, users can choose their own unique sounds to customize things should they disagree with Microsoft's decisions.

Our guess, however, is that like art and music, some of you will love these, and others will think they are terrible. Right now, we are on the side of liking them.

Head to WP7Forum.ru to hear the embedded sound clips. It is likely just a matter of time before someone rips these to let you add them to your current Windows 8.1 machine.

Back Seeking Advice Won a Contest

Originally I posted my questions on an upgrade in this thread. http://ift.tt/1Ed9snm

IN short I ended up buying an open box Powercolor PCS+ R9 290x from newegg.

I registered the GPU with PC and did not pay much attention to the New VIP club and their grand opening giveaway.

Anyhow the drawing was held on 4-23 with emails to the winners going out today. Well the bad news is I did not win the grand prize, however I won the first prize which is:

PowerColor TurboDuo AXR9 290 4GBD5-TDHE/OC Radeon R9 290 4GB 512-Bit GDDR5 X 2

Well the original card from newegg has had the dreaded blackscreen issues on windows start up. I have been trying to get from PC or find on the web an updated bios to see if that fixes the issues.

I am still within the 30 day newegg return on the open box.

But now that I won this contest, and will receive 2x R9 290s not the 290x I am not sure what to do.

Any advice?

So Windows Backup overwrites stuff when created huh?

I seem to have learned a very painful lesson today...

Made a system backup on a secondary drive for a friend before doing a clean install of Windows 7, a procedure I myself have performed in the past on my own computers.
Only problem is, it seems his main personal folder where he kept all his photo's and stuff had the exact same name as the Computer Name, and now as far as I can tell, when the system created the backup it overwrote that folder... so all his photos are now gone... :bang:

I'm kind of resigned to the idea that all these files are lost forever and a hard lesson learned, but I thought I would post and ask for advice anyway, just to see if there was a corner I had not checked out or a trick I had not tried that might be able to recover these files.

Best Z97 motherboard, various issues with certain brands.

Hey Guys,

I need your help, but I'd like to point out that I always do bios updates, make sure the CPU is seated firmly, no socket pins are bent and general checks before posting on forums or trying to get help. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering so I don't think I am the dumbest person when it comes to computers (I think, who knows).

However, I have been having a ton of issues recently and I have started banging my head against the wall. All related to the individual motherboards tested.

Here's the basic hardware (and software) list, excluding the motherboard:
Intel i7 4770k CPU
EVGA 1000G2 PSU
Sapphire R9 290x Tri-X OC GPU
Creative Titanium HD PCI Express x1
16GB (4x4GB) G-Skill Trident-X 2400mhz DDR3
2x Sandisk 256GB SSD Drive (SATA6GB/s)
1x WD Caviar Black 500GB drive (SATA6GB/s)

The Problem:
I bought a MSI z87 GD-65 motherboard roughly 2 years ago and recently it started giving me a ton of bsods (networking and memory related). I tried bios updates, only installing the Killer NIC inf drivers without the whole software suite. Still, no go. Also, the motherboard could never use the XMP profile of the memory but I still kept it. I ran the memory at 1800mhz with manual latency settings. In hindsight, I should have returned it. Turns out, I am not the only one. Tons of people can't use G-Skill memory on the MSI boards properly:
http://ift.tt/1DBFhnn

Also, my friend has a MSI Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard, and he can't even get his 16GB (2x8GB) Trident-X 2400mhz DDR3 memory to work with their XMP profiles on the board. He's running them at 1600mhz (waste of money if you ask me). Also, I don't think having the debate of cas latency and calculations based on latency vs mhz is applicable here. You'll see why as you read on.

The fix so far:

I bought an Asus Maximus Z97 VII Hero board. Instantly, no more bsods. Everything is working smoothly, including running my G-Skill memory at 2400mhz with their XMP profiles. However, the motherboard won't run my 290x at 16x PCI-E 3.0. It will only run it at 8x PCI-E 3.0. I have verified this via bios and also GPU-Z. And yes, I have done all the bios updates. So I think this is a defective board. I receive a replacement Maximus Z97 VII Hero board.....and the same problem occurs again. I have to mention, the Asus Maximus is solid as a rock......except for the whole running PCI-E 16x 3.0 at PCI-E 8x 3.0. I have tried taking out the sound card, putting it in a different lane, and no go. My friend has the same 290x as me, and he's able to run it at 16x PCI-E 3.0 on his MSI Z97 Gaming 7. So he brings his card over to see if I have a defective GPU or a motherboard, and the Maximus runs his card at 8x 3.0 as well. So I am thinking once again it's a defective motherboard.

I made a post on the ROG forums to fix this issues, yet no one could find a solution:
http://ift.tt/1DBFk2w

TL-DR: The help I need from you guys:
I need to find a board that fulfills these 3 needs:
1. Runs my 16GB (4x4GB) G-Skill Trident-X 2400mhz DDR3 at 2400mhz with their XMP Profiles.
2. Runs my 290x at 16x PCI-E 3.0
3. Doesn't give me a crazy ton of BSODs.

I am scared to go with the MSI route since there is a known problem with them and G-Skill branded memory. I feel that if the memory works properly on my Maximus Hero Z97 board, it is not defective memory (memtest86 tested).

I am thinking of going with the AsRock Extreme 6 since it's practically an ASUS board and has great reviews:
http://ift.tt/1DBFk2y

I have had nothing but bad experiences with Gigabyte boards in the past. This includes 2x x58 boards. So I don't know if I'd want to go down the Gigabyte path either....

Your thoughts? Please let me know if you have any recommendations of your own.

Fixing Micro-Stuttering in Fifa 13, 14, 15...

Hello Everyone:

I have had a few people ask me how I fixed the "Micro-Stuttering" issue for Fifa 15.

With these settings, for me; micro-stuttering significantly decreases (you could say by about 95%). The one occasional lag-spike that occurs for half a second once every 20 to 40 minutes isn't something I could fix. Maybe AMD could look into that, as I am sure it's a driver issue.

You need RadeonPro installed and setup (so that it works for both 32-Bit and 64-Bit games), you don't need SweetFX, but I highly recommend it, as I will post up the settings I use for that too to make the game look a ton of times sharper and more lively; I am talking about SweetFX Setup through RadeonPro (you can use mine below, go to RadeonPro Settings and use the folder below as the SweetFX Folder, it also contains the SweetFX Profile that we will edit later).

Mega LINK for my SweetFX Folder
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Before Editing any RadeonPro Settings you MUST Run the game launcher through Origin, click on Game Settings and make sure you have Frame Rate set to "No Limit on FPS", and under it TICK (Disable Windows Aero Theme).

For RadeonPro Settings: (TAB Names are in BOLD Below, under them are the settings you need to modify)

Visual:

FXAA - Set to ULTRA, and Tick (Enable) "Use Green as Luma".

Anisotropic Filtering - Tick (Enable) and Choose 8x.

Tessellation Control - Tick (Enable) and Choose "Force Off" on the Slider.

Vertical Sync Control - Tick (Enable) and Slide to "Always On".

Advanced:

Tick ALL FIVE Options on TOP:

Slide Texture Filtering Quality and Mipmap Quality both to High Quality.

Tick (Enable) Texture LOD and Set it to -1.5

Tick (Enable) Flip Queue Size and Set it to 1

Tweaks:

Direct3D Tweaks:

V-Sync Control SET to Always On.

Tick (Enable) Triple-Buffering and SET (Type) Display Refresh Rate to 120 Hz.

Under Anti-Aliasing Compatibility Force and Choose the Profile for Gothic 3.

Under Misc Tweaks: Tick (Enable) Disable Aero & Force Process High Priority

Under Spoof Video Adapter ID:

Tick (Enable) and Choose nVidia as the Vendor, and type GTX 680 as the device name. Click Search.

SweetFX:

Tick (Enable) SweetFX

At the bottom click IMPORT Settings - Choose the Assassins Creed Profile from the .RAR File I included ABOVE:

Now Once ADDED, we need to tweak a few settings: (click on and edit the values, and make sure they remain ticked, sometimes clicking on an effect un-ticks it)

- LumaSharpen and change Sharp_Strength to 2.5
- Vibrance and change Vibrance to 0.3
- Tick (Enable) both BLOOM and HDR and change HDRPower to 1.15 & Radius2 to 0.85

OverDrive:

WARNING: Be careful what you do here, this is the overclocking section, you don't want to accidentally overclock if you don't usually overclock.

Tick (Enable) both Graphic OverDrive and Always USE Highest Performance Clocks While Gaming.

Your default clocks should all be chosen, no need to change them (except PowerTune isn't ticked, and if you use PowerTune settings you need to redo them here for your overclocked speeds if you overclock).

Click Apply Changes.

Reminder: MOST of these settings were aesthetic settings (aka for looks) but I'm sure many of you will agree that you will now enjoy a new Fifa experience, especially with the SweetFX settings I've provided.

PS: Most of these settings are done for my current VIDEOCARD, don't expect these settings to work on anything inferior to a HD7970 (280x).
