Assuming use of a fast drive (internal or external SSD), could this same setup with new OBS version be used to simply capture gameplay (e.g. for Machinima) with a minimal CPU/GPU hit? (I currently use a two machine setup for this using Elgato Game Capture HD. It would be nice to eliminate some...

Nevermind. User error...

Love this monitor so far, even if I can only get a signal via HDMI (60Hz) direct from my HP Zbook. Does anyone know why I can't seem to get one via DisplayPort (144 Hz) from the Zbook (Thunderbolt) dock that has 2 full DP ports? Scratching my head as I get output from both DP ports via the same...

Greetings! I have an ancient Lenovo Y510p laptop. Recently the 1TB HDD started getting really slow. So I decided I would clone it to a 1TB SSD. Unfortunately, I may have waited too long as my machine suddenly decided to stop booting to Windows (10), presumably due to disk errors. I am currently...

Thanks, MrDitto. I figured that old GPU wasn't up to snuff for it. It sounds like until I am ready to upgrade my laptop (waiting for a more of the Max-Q models to come out), I'm better off with a slightly larger 16:9 at 1080p for now. Not playing any demanding FPS games-most are older Steam...

I'm looking to replace my current 27" 144Mhz monitor with something bigger. While it may just be a 30-32" curved 1080p model, one of my choices is a 21:9 model: https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C3583FQ-Curved-Monitor-2560/dp/B01G6E4UPE (The $700 price tag is the most I'm willing to pay to upgrade.) So...

Thanks, gamerk. That's the ammo I needed. And thanks for the DigitalStormOnline recommendation. (Though ibuypower's specs/prices better fit my budget.) Now to convince the wife...

Hello All, I am looking to (possibly) de-clutter my life by replacing my Sony Vaio F series laptop and (almost 3 year old) Gateway FX Series desktop (2.5GHz Core 2 Quad, 4GB RAM, 1GB GeForce 4800 GS, 7200 RPM primary drive) with a custom Battalion laptop from iBuypower (2.3GHz Sandy Bridge, 8GB...

Thanks, ace. I had the unit in my car on its way back to Fry's. I just brought it inside and tried the paper clip test, and voila: It works. Thanks to all who responded. If it's not already, the paper clip test should be a sticky. This is the first in what I'm sure will be many more questions...

Thanks, ct and Emperus. I will try the paper clip test tonight. MUCHAS GRACIAS!

I've seen this question asked in other threads, but only after installing it in a case and hooking it into the mobo and/or case fans. So this post will surely make me the Super N00b of this board. But here goes... Building my first rig in the near future, I bought a Cooler Master HAF-922 and an...
