    Smartphones

    I don't mean to get into a pissing match, just genuinely curious, but how is Android garbage (and I'm making an assumption that you're comparing it to iOS)? What is so much better about iOS that makes you say Android is garbage?

    Just a thought: Check to see if DPI/Scaling is set wrong on the monitor - right click desktop -> resolution -> make text larger/smaller -> make sure it is set at 100% for the monitor.

    Just throwing this out there for people. Not sure it is a great idea with Pascal out in May (supposedly) but it is a good price: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB GDDR5 Gaming 6 Golden Edition + The Divison + Free Shipping $609.99 after $30 MIR Specs: Core/MemoryBoost Clock / Base Clock / Memory...

    Is it G-Sync? You're still in the dark ages for gaming if it isn't. (congrats though)

    I had a Dell P2715Q monitor arrive DOA from Amazon. Had a similar awesome experience. They sent me a new one (which showed up the next day) gave me a label for the old one, dropped it off at UPS and I got an email notification while I was in the UPS store saying that the return was cleared and a...

    No. The stock vs. after-market cooling temperatures were from either Ivy Bridge or Haswell and an example of why it is a no brainer to pickup a $20-30 part. We're talking about two totally different things. The shitty TIM paste (ie the paste actually in the CPU) was definitely the reason the...

    Laptop Computers

    Question: I just formatted a buddy's laptop, an ASUS GL752VW. It has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M, which I installed the drivers for. The laptop does not have the "Optimus" deal listed in it's bios. Is there a way to completely by-pass the Intel integrated chip? Or just go through nVidia...

    Yeahhh.... We're talking about a $20-$30 cooler that: 1) Is needed with Skylake since no cooler comes with it and Haswell/Broadwell are notoriously hot as hell from the shitty paste Intel used in the CPU itself which is why a lot of extreme overclockers delid their CPU's 2) Drops your...

    ^ Hard to top the build joeboo just posted. Microcenter should have the Hyper 212 EVO in-stock for $25~ and Samsung 850 EVO 250GB for $85~ too so check those while you're at MicroCenter. Amazon should be good for the rest.

    I used them almost exclusively from about 2006 through 2012. I had coil whine in a card around that time and gave Gigabyte a shot and was pretty happy with them. Went back to EVGA for the 780 Ti, and then when I upgraded to the 980 Ti a month or two back. And now coil whine again. Just annoying...

    I knew there was a reason I stopped buying EVGA cards. My 980 Ti started giving me coil whine last crazy this last weekend. Schon of a bisch.

    Any excel wizards here?

    wamphyr one thing I'd like to reiterate based on the article that ToeMissle originally linked: Make sure that after you've entered your Index/Match formula, don't just press enter. Make sure you are pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter to create an array formula so it checks each cell in the array...

    Any excel wizards here?

    Do the values need to change in Column A? Or would you be open to just adding another Column and doing an Index/Match?

    Yeah I love it. I'm not very fluent in home audio setups in particular but it has been very easy to use and setup. Audyssey makes tuning the sound a breeze. I asked about the IR extender because I don't use one on mine either - and I don't think that it came with one (I may have confused it...

    We used one at work for a while. It works fine if you never have ANYTHING in it's line of sight. If it's view gets obstructed at all, it'll disconnect/go bonkers. Here is the exact model we used:IOGear GUWAVKIT2 Having said all that, your model seems to be a bit more powerful so it may run...

    You got fucked then. I'd cancel the order and let's see if we can find a better rate?... What zipcode? If you're in Uptown (I'm guessing maybe you are? haven't read through ALL the posts) then your rate should be the same. I had the same prices available to me when I lived near Tiffany's in...

    Boloboy, all good changes but think about this regarding your monitor: The 980 Ti is going to struggle running games over 60 FPS on a "4k" (3840x2160) monitor like you have at ultra/highest/max settings. Couple Examples: 3840x2160 Ultra/Max/Highest game settings Source Game: FPS...

    TLDR: 1.Buying a Titan X is a stupid idea, buy a 980 Ti instead (save $350) for virtually the same performance 2.You can reduce your amount of RAM to 16 GB with no negative gaming performance (save $100) 3.Get a Samsung 850 EVO instead of that OCZ drive (spend extra $10) 4.For all that is...

    Same issue here. I believe the issue may be something goofy with the RAM as someone else pointed out. I haven't had time to pick up a couple different sticks to test that theory. I also think my issue is partly that one of my DP cables has the power pin which causes my MOBO to think it has...

    Yeah even with Windows set to 200% and Chrome set to 100% it is still blurry (yes I restarted). I've tried disabling and enabling directwrite in chrome, same issue either way. Yes I'm on Windows 10. 4K Monitor in Chrome @ 200% Windows Scaling, 100% Chrome:http://i.imgur.com/6gTySpy.png...

    I'll try that again, I swear I tried logging in/out or resetting. The text in Chrome has has ALWAYS looked blurry as hell with Windows scaling. But I'll give a whirl at lunch and report back.

    So I picked up aDell 27" P2715Q 4Kmonitor hoping to use it as my internet/web page monitor. It seems I didn't exactly think things all the way through as Chrome looks TERRIBLE on a 4K monitor with Windows 10 scaling. Is my only option to basically set the zoom to 150% in Chrome to make it look...

    Yeah. And it costs $6,000 for a 65". You've gained nothing by waiting a couple months... Edit: Not trying to knock your decision to wait or anything, those things are just crazy expensive and will be for a couple more years. They do look damn good. I'm quite happy I got my Samsung UN65JS8500.

    Everyone else is right, upgrade the GPU and use an SSD as your primary drive if you're just upgrading stuff now. Those will by far give you your best bang for your buck. Down the road though, CPU's are finally at the point where upgrading from Sandy Bridge to Skylake will give youreal...
