    Help with triple monitor wallpaper

    After some fiddling, I realised that no matter how you change the arrangement/connection, as long as the middle monitor is set as the main monitor, this problem will occur. This is because wallpaper will start from the main monitor (in this case, the middle one) and ending in the first monitor...

    Help with triple monitor wallpaper

    I've got 3 monitors up and running perfectly fine in Nvidia surround. However, for normal usage, I'd like to disable surround and use them as 3 separate monitors. For some reason, wallpaper in Non-surround mode is weird (please see image below). Any idea how I can solve this? Thanks in advance

    Can the PS4 run in 4K resolution? if so how?

    If it's gaming you're talking about and not streaming, the answer is no. Even current high end GPUs struggle with 4K. In comparative terms, the PS4 is using a GPU equivalent of a 7870.

    Do GPUs really need 4gb of RAM?

    It seems that everyone is clamoring for at least 4gb of VRAM on GPUs, but from my experience, VRAM has not been so crucial (my stats below). I understand that many people game at higher resolutions than 1080p, but even at 5760x1080, GTX 770 2gb SLI is still doing a damn fine job (LINK). So, my...

    I really need help with laptop drivers

    Sorry for the late reply. I had to revert to windows 8 because I needed to do some work on the laptop right away. I'll post the details of the hardware when I buy a new drive for the laptop and install windows 7 on it. I'll of course take note of the details before changing the drive.

    I really need help with laptop drivers

    I bought an Asus G56JR laptop today which comes with win 8.1, which IMO, is the worst OS to ever happen. The laptop has no win 7 support but I went ahead to reformat and installed win 7 anyway (the process was a b*tch in itself). I figured, if I could find out the make and model of each...

    Correct temperature?

    Phew, that's 2 less things to worry about. Thanks for your help! Really appreciate it :good:

    Correct temperature?

    Yup, the fans are correct. My case is a CM HAF 912 with front 200mm intake fan. Recent temperature in Singapore has been ranging from 26-33. I guess with such temperature, 42oC doesn't seem too high. I've got another question though. I was playing Crysis 3 and saw that my GPU's...

    Correct temperature?

    I do that sometimes when I'm rendering. Can't afford to have it on so often or my bill would go through the roof Yup, speedstep is enabled. My core voltage fluctuates between 0.888 to 0.900 on idle, very occasionally there's a spike above 0.900. On idle, I usually have Chrome and iTunes...

    Correct temperature?

    Haha, gum is perfection indeed :D Yeah, I guess maybe it's the weather. It's summer all year round in Singapore. That said, I'm suspecting that the fans aren't being fed enough power since they share a port. I'll connect them to a molex and see if there's any difference.

    Correct temperature?

    My current CPU and cooling is as follow i7 3770k @ variable speed on idle (1.5 to 3.9ghz), 4.5ghz while rendering 3DS Max Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo 2x Corsair SP120 in push/pull config (Note: These 2 fans share the same fan port via a Y splitter) Arctic MX4 thermal compound I'm getting...

    Show off your speed

    Yup, it's almost laughable I was fawning at 1.3mbps download speed just a few years ago. My current plan isn't even the fastest there is :eek: The speed is quite constant. My steam download average about 25mbps. TBH, most download isn't large enough for the speed to get up to maximum. First...

    Monitor recommendation?

    Alright, thanks so much for the advice guys. I'll try to get the 23" Dell if they have it.

    Monitor recommendation?

    Also, what do you think about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236288 I'm considering this because I just realised Singapore doesn't sell the 23" version of the Dell Ultrasharp, only the 24", which is $100+ more than the 23" version.

    Which power supply?

    Thanks for the reply! I guess I gotta fork out that extra 30 bucks then :(

    Which power supply?

    I'm going to SLI my GTX 770. I'm looking at the Corsair RM series and deciding between the 750W and the 850W model, which differs by about $30 where I live. Here's a run down of my system Core i7 3770K (OC to 4.5 when rendering 3DS Max) 4x 8gb Ram 2x Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 2gb 1x SSD 3x HDD...

    Monitor recommendation?

    I was looking at this http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-U2312HM-IPS-Monitor/dp/B005LN1JEC/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1398267215&sr=1-2&keywords=dell+ultrasharp Any idea how bad the ghosting is for gaming? I don't see myself playing a lot of game in college, being architecture...

    Monitor recommendation?

    Okay, so I'm gonna start my architecture school in a couple of months. I'll be doing Autocad, 3DS Max, some photography and graphic design, and some gaming. I'm looking for a good monitor for such purpose, but not too high end since I'm not a professional. I understand that IPS screen are better...
