    Splitting a 4k TV into multiple "monitors"

    Hi Toms Hardware, Does anyone know of a device that will take in two HDMI/Displayport cables as input, and combine them into two side-by-side 1920x1080 (or taller) images for output to a 4k display? I would like to find a way to use two different computers on one TV, at the same time. The TV...

    Still stuck at 30Hz after AMD update

    Hey Tom's Hardware, I've had this issue for a few weeks now and haven't been able to solve it. I use a 4K tv as my display, with my R9 295X2 which has been working fine for a while now. After an AMD update I restarted my computer and was locked to 30Hz when in 3840x2160. In control panel...

    New AMD Driver capped me at 30hz

    Hey Tom's Hardware, I've been using a 4K tv as my monitor recently, working fine with my R9 295X2 and a miniDP to HDMI 3.0 active adapter in order to achieve 60hz in 3840x2160. Yesterday I updated to the latest AMD drivers, and when I restarted, my framerate appears to be capped at 30fps now...

    Stuck at login screen in Windows 8.1

    Hi Toms Hardware, Last night I shut down my computer with the "Update and Shut Down" button, and this morning to my horror, I am unable to get past the rainbowy screen with the date and time. Usually it would be a click of the mouse or the tap of a key on my keyboard to bring me to the password...

    Upgrading from AMD to Intel, opinions for new parts?

    Hi Tom's Hardware, You guys have been super awesome in the past about giving advice about purchasing new parts, so I thought I would ask around here before making a decision. I'm looking to upgrade from my FX-6300 to either an i7-4790k or 6700k. Either way, obviously I'm going to have to buy...

    R9 295x2 and Arma 2

    Hi Tom's Hardware, I recently purchased an XFX Radeon R9 295X2 graphics card. Its supposed to be a "beast of a card" but I haven't noticed significant performance changes compared to my last card - an R9 270... Arma 2, for example - I usually get around 45 fps no matter what I turn the...
