[editline]9th February 2015[/editline] In most modern motherboards.

Or Windows would refuse to boot up because it detects a discrete GPU connected to his motherboard but not his monitor.[/QUOTE] My motherboard will actually use both at the same time. My 7870 drives my 1440p monitor and the HD 3000 iGPU drives an old 1280x1024 monitor. This is how I use Quicksync for OBS. Then again, I have a Gigabyte mobo, not sure if the MSI one has that capability.

My MSI Z87 board did

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47103755]Incorrect. It would still boot.[/QUOTE] I must be thinking of the XP era. My old prebuild PC would display an error message if I plugged the monitor into the iGPU rather than my GT 430 and tried to boot it up.

[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;47103767]I must be thinking of the XP era. My old prebuild PC would display an error message if I plugged the monitor into the iGPU rather than my GT 430 and tried to boot it up.[/QUOTE] AGP motherboards would just bypass the iGPU completely. I do know what your talking about though. When I was trying to get triple monitors on some PCs at work, I tried using the onboard ports. Apparently, those PCs had zero capability for using a PCIe GPU with the integrated graphics. The BIOS decided to say that the iGPU didn't exist when a PCIe card was inserted. Literally said for fuck sake out loud when I figured that out. To be fair, they were slightly older HP prebuilts from around 2009-2010. Worked great if you used a PCI card though. Good old 8400 GS.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47103805]Trash at everything except being a dumb PCI card for extra monitors :v:[/QUOTE] I remember when I used one as a serious gaming card. The sad thing was, it was the best GPU I had. It made Source games playable. I mean, it was a step up from intel 950 graphics. Hardware T&L support wooooo. I also learned about these cards at work. [img]http://www.tamayatech.com/ProductImages/A/ASUS-35111141R.jpeg[/img] Its not a GPU. Its sole purpose was to add a DVI port to the onboard 965 graphics. That's it. Its so ridiculously specific, but it worked great on those Optiplex 755's.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47103824]Those fucking SDDN cards dear fucking god I can see plenty of those on Trademe and Ebay going for $5 bucks How can any of those be worth even using.[/QUOTE] I mean, if you want a cheap way to add a second monitor to computer with a 965 chipset, there's your answer. :v: It felt so proud when I found a use for all 10 of them. Better question was, why did we have 10 of them if nobody knew what they did.

Ok, hooked up my secondary monitor to the iGPU and rebooted. Results are the same, none of my programs detect QS.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47103858]What programs are you trying to use QS with?[/QUOTE] OBS and Handbrake mainly.

[QUOTE=Levelog;47103854]Those things are terrible.[/QUOTE] They do one thing and they do that well, but they useless outside of that one thing. :v:

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47103882]OBS has finnickey as fuck support for it, it works for some like me and Demache(I don't use it I use NVENC over it personally) and I don't even think Handbrake has QS support.[/QUOTE] Handbrake added it nov'2014.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47103882]OBS has finnickey as fuck support for it, it works for some like me and Demache(I don't use it I use NVENC over it personally) and I don't even think Handbrake has QS support.[/QUOTE] Even then its pretty finicky. It "works" every time, but it likes to drop frames in some games. Absolutely no reason, OBS doesn't even detect them and CPU use is very low. Its really odd. It might have something to do with the AMD GPU having to send the frames to the Intel encoder, but its just really odd.

[QUOTE=Demache;47103875]They do one thing and they do that well, but they useless outside of that one thing. :v:[/QUOTE] When I was doing the hospital upgraded we had hundreds of systems with those. My boss was convinced they were dedicated cards and made us pull them.

Ok, I'll ditch the quicksync completely until I really need it.

[QUOTE=Levelog;47103921]When I was doing the hospital upgraded we had hundreds of systems with those. My boss was convinced they were dedicated cards and made us pull them.[/QUOTE] My boss was doing development on a machine with 8 GB of RAM, but running 32 bit Windows. It ran like shit constantly due to lack of RAM. I feel like an dick for not telling him in hindsight. Tbf, he probably should have figured it out on his own but we can all be a little bit special.

So, how can I tell what kind of CPU socket my motherboard has? It is a Gigabyte, if that helps.

[QUOTE=_Kent_;47104066]So, how can I tell what kind of CPU socket my motherboard has? It is a Gigabyte, if that helps.[/QUOTE] CPU-Z tells you.

[QUOTE=KinderBueno;47100185]Hey, I have a server running Linux Ubuntu, I have terminal access to it. I also have domain name purchased, I am running my website on that server and all works good, but: Is there any quick and easy way to setup proxy service on my server without fucking up my website? Like create a subdomain like: proxy.myhost.com and when I enter that address it would have address field which I enter and I get redirected to the website I entered and be able to browse it without any script limitations or glitches BUT using servers IP instead of mine, is that possible? I've tried using free proxy services but they are shit (probably because they are being used by thousands at same time).[/QUOTE] best thing to do is ssh tunneling [code]ssh -D 8080 user@example.com[/code] [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YhCitELVtTk/VNhQhJNESpI/AAAAAAAAQuo/WlisI6oGXtU/s0/2015-02-08_22-15-16a.png[/img] [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ytcNydcYwsA/VNhQnlUaXOI/AAAAAAAAQuw/_Z8aDCcPKag/s0/2015-02-08_22-16-00a.png[/img] [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CHOposEkQZY/VNhQvUmaUdI/AAAAAAAAQu4/DtjROxoLvts/s0/2015-02-08_22-16-21a.png[/img] make sure you're using cygwin

[QUOTE=_Kent_;47104066]So, how can I tell what kind of CPU socket my motherboard has? It is a Gigabyte, if that helps.[/QUOTE] Also if you use speccy, or if you just go to computer properties and tell me the name of your CPU I can tell you.

Though if you mean you have an extra MB then the best bet is to try to find the model number on it and doing a google search.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;47104328]afaik tunneling is part of the ssh daemon anyways?? terminating the ssh connection kills the tunnel[/QUOTE] Yes it is. Derp. :downs: Wait, what ssh client are you using in windows then if you don't use putty?

[QUOTE=Demache;47104339]Yes it is. Derp. :downs: Wait, what ssh client are you using in windows then if you don't use putty?[/QUOTE] openssh via cygwin, I guess

[QUOTE=Worre;47104347]openssh via cygwin, I guess[/QUOTE] Ah. I wouldn't exactly call that portable though unless you only use nix systems, considering its nonstandard and putty is a standalone app that's like 800k.

I love putty. It's just simplistic as fuck.
