Well.... there's some good news on the gpu crash front. Seems it may have been psu related, card seems to be working with a psu I got from work free cause someone wanted us to get rid of their pc. Now to source a new mobo...

So anyone know any good alternatives or what kinda plugs fit an hp envy dv4 5318tx? thinking I might go for a universal charger if one has the required head.

out of stock...

Well I got an old laptop up and running that used this cord http://www.amazon.com/UBatteries-Adapter-Charger-ENVY-dv4-5318tx/dp/B00PX3M8WM sadly it didn't have one with it so anyone know what the info I need to sort a new charger for it is? Also any good value alternatives to that charger? :3

Well living in nz places with alright psu pricings never seem to ship any worth having here and almost anything local tries to charge a massive premium and your firstborn to actually get a half decent psu.

Hell most games these days aren't even optimized anyway from what I've seen, shizz like unity on release make me question why certain companies have any faith left in them... (yes I am making a joke about the most broken release in forever) So what I'm getting is that the lower core xeons...

Yeah and since it's not worth putting wear on the card I switched it out for a 560 ti ds Wondering if old amd drivers could be causing issues cause a differnt one showed up, after the opening cinematics for watch_dogs my machine straight up crashed (whereas with the igpu it would run albiet...

Pretty sure they go as far as 20 core So from what is being said in this video server processors with similar specs would be better due to the fact they support some things non server ones do not yes?

So in theory is there anything that would stop someone building a powerful server pc and using it as a gaming rig instead? Some of the server parts I have seen seem like their true calling would be in an excessively powerful machine but I'm unsure how possible and or practical such a machine...

Controls is a bit of a loose term from what a psu does, limits sure maybe but provided it can output enough power then it will be able to do waht you need it to albiet maybe not as well as others, with the number of limits a motherboard controls... yeah. Anyway the idea of getting something in...

Probably the first titan or the upgraded version of it, That did come around the same time as 780s.

I don't carry any important data, and even if you had the best psu ever made if it goes with a mobo that can't take the gpu you have you are pretty screwed ya? I just see the motherboard as a more key factor cause hell worst case you can still do stuff with onboards if need be

new titan being the key word in my original reference to titans... as in the newest nvidia card, unsure on specific name but it was some new form of titan...

With the splitters my machine uses 2 sata connectors isn't an issue and I'm not sinking much on the psu til I can afford something around 1200w Anything in the area of 600w will be too weak for the machine eventually with the plans for the build anyway so why go for a half decent 600-700w psu...

Already sorted a new psu but that's gonna take a few days to arrive, one would assume if shadow of mordor and dragon age inquisition don't make it draw more power than the system has then something like farcry 4 shouldn't be doing such right? I'm pretty sure inquisition has requirements a fair...

So you're saying nvidia haven't made any major progress in some time? Pretty sure the 700 series was a while back so it seems a bit odd to think of it as being similar to stuff like a titan

Not overly as I intend to keep it installed as a failsafe in an "oh shit the gpu you are using just burst inta flames and is now useless" scenario looking more to temporarily tell it you are not being used so plez don't interupt the big boys who will probably be dead a few years before you...

Okay so I have upgraded from my apus built in gpu which someone metaphorically called a prius (my a10-6800k black) to a 780Ti which they compared to a cadilac And since upgrading games run better as expected but the few ubisoft titles I tried (Watch_dogs & Far Cry 4) have crashed on loading...

from memory the cpu is a quad core @ 4.1Ghz right? and can be oced to 4.4 or so How much more powerful a cpu would a 780 ti need? it isn't like I'm running a new titan or anything Also suggestions of a new amd socket mobo and cpu would be nice as I now have job hence the upgrades coming a...

Hi so recently my machine has been given a new gpu, one hat uses good ol nvidia. Now every boot hydravision is like "oh shiz, we gots a prolem sorting your desktops you wanna reset us or what?" How doth one disable hydraavision without removing it? I wanna keep it as a precation incase my...
