[QUOTE=General;45879374]Man I can't wait anymore I want my 880 GTX Any recent news about it?[/QUOTE] I heard they'd be released this month, around the 20th or so. I know your pain, I can't upgrade until they launch.
[QUOTE=General;45879374]Man I can't wait anymore I want my 880 GTX Any recent news about it?[/QUOTE] No longer 880, now 980. They decided to release the 800 mobile series utilizing maxwell under the 900 naming to avoid confusion so they're skipping the 800 desktop naming to realign the nomenclature. Should be releasing soon

[QUOTE=General;45879374]Man I can't wait anymore I want my 880 GTX Any recent news about it?[/QUOTE] Yeah it was recently delayed until supposedly past the Sept/Oct estimate.
Well, back to my post on 120hz laptops, are there any screen upgrades I can purchase online? Because I know you can upgrade Thinkpad displays. I just want a display past 60hz that isn't a Macbook Air.

I just want a display past 60hz that isn't a Macbook Air.[/QUOTE] The hardware onboard the laptop needs to be capable of it. You would also need a panel that's compatible with the laptop. I don't know enough about the topic to give you pointers on what laptops can.
This might be better suited in the Android thread but I don't really know. The music app displays the same art for the all the songs said to be in one album; is there a way I can make it so songs in the same album display different cover art? I have them properly tagged, it's just if they share the same album it just chooses a random cover art from one of the songs in the album and displays that art for the rest of the songs in the album

I've never really had different album art on songs in an album before.
Having issues in chrome where all text displays slightly fuzzy
[QUOTE=Lexinator;45890924]Having issues in chrome where all text displays slightly fuzzy[/QUOTE] There's a setting you have to disable in About::Flags, but I can't remember what it is. Maybe that can point you in the right direction, though.

I swear my computer is just messing with me at this point. Now, for some reason, one certain .exe file (it's for GECK powerup, a mod for the mod tools for NV) seemed to have disappeared from my New Vegas folder. Fair enough, maybe I deleted it by accident, let me just put it back. Nope, it copies for a small bit and then [I]immediately after[/I] redeletes itself, and it happens no matter where I put it. Ok, so maybe the ZIP file is corrupted or something, so I decide to redownload it. It won't let me redownload it, citing a network error. But I can download anything else from that site, literally anything else, just not [I]that[/I] file. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Mr House has infected your computer. Shouldn't have killed him
[QUOTE=Levelog;45893696]Mr House has infected your computer. Shouldn't have killed him[/QUOTE] Honestly, if I didn't know better, I'd say you'd be right :v: I think I'm just going to format my computer because this shit's getting ridiculous

I fucking love New Vegas and I like using mods from communities I participate in. Some guy in the 4chan Generals is the guy making those spliced companion mods like Mr. House and Joshua Graham.
[QUOTE=Demache;45892166]I believe its DirectDraw.[/QUOTE] I can't seem to find that setting.
[QUOTE=Lexinator;45896369]I can't seem to find that setting.[/QUOTE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/l9cJ7w6.png[/img] not trying to be mean, just cant draw for dick and keep in mind, mine is already disabled, so yours would say enable. it's backwards, you're enabling the option to disable directdraw.
Imgur has been really slow for me the past few days, its the only website thats slow and it happens on multiple devices. Are there servers getting hammered or is something wrong on my end?
I haven't seen any issues. buuuut.... i also haven't been on the web much so i might have just not noticed
Could I upgrade my AMD 7750 to a Nvidia 750ti without causing any compatibility problems? My current specs are CPU: AMD FX 6300 6 core Mobo: ASUS M5A78L 8gb RAM 450W PSU
[QUOTE=The mouse;45898814]450W PSU[/QUOTE] this scares me. brand? as long as you clean out the amd drivers and install nvidia ones, it shouldn't be an issue. [url]http://www.guru3d.com/content-page/guru3d-driver-sweeper.html[/url] that'll get rid of any driver you want gone.

I got this weird pop-up on my Google Chrome's upper-right corner saying "Your internet connection is being managed/controlled" (rough translation) And there were two options "Restore settings" or "Change settings", I pressed restore. And now strangely my font is slightly different on facepunch, almost like the zoom is slightly off but it's not that. WTF?
[QUOTE=The mouse;45898914]Corsair. Also thanks.[/QUOTE] As far as I'm aware, Corsair's stuff is usually fairly solid. However, I'd definitely upgrade, since I'm concerned you just won't be able to draw enough power for the 750ti.

A good 450watt is fine for almost any 1 GPU system. Hell, Phrozen had a 780 and i7 4770k on a 430 with no problems.
Wow. So, I'm looking at potential upgrade paths, and I'm wondering something. I'm still on the 1155 socket, on an i5-2500k. Is it worth considering an upgrade to Skylake next year, or should I be able to keep running on the i5 for a few more years? I'm upgrading my graphics card to a 980 at launch, so I probably won't have the budget for a full rebuild until next June, but I'm wondering if that's even worth considering.

CPUs really are at a standstill if hardly anything change from 2011 to 2014 in terms of performance. Effeciency would really be the only benefit.
Great, so I can just grab a new GPU, maybe upgrade my motherboard (ASRock's quality isn't great... My computer just doesn't turn on if it recognizes USB devices on boot,) and be set for another few years. Fantastic.
OK so I have a question about radio. So if I have a relatively high frequency signal going through a wire, how would I broadcast it as radio waves? Or is it already radiating rf but with such a low power that it cannot be picked up by anything? Is there some really simple way to amplify any signal so that I can get more broadcasting range?
I remember Microsoft security essentials being regarded as a pretty decent free antivirus. On Windows 8 it's been renamed Windows Defender but is common sense + Windows defender + MalwareBytes anti malware as much as I'll ever need in the antivirus department if I'm pretty careful?
