    [SOLVED] Accessing FreeNAS from Multiple computers

    failboat, If you mean if my network is private/public, all devices are set to private. I also want to note I turned off Windows Firewall (confident as long as I don't browse). I've never had to use smb::// except on a Mac. In fact, It was always \\servername. Even in the Map a Network drive, it...

    [SOLVED] Accessing FreeNAS from Multiple computers

    So I feel real silly for asking this, but I am just running out of ideas (or my Google-Fu mojo has been damaged). Keep in mind, I have a more than decent understanding of networking and Windows. I am completely newbie to FreeNAS as I deal with Windows Server at work. Let me give you the...

    Looking to upgrade first gaming rig from 2014, need budget suggestions

    Honestly, This isn't a bad set up. the GTX 770 can still handle a few games. You might want to consider a Windows re-install. You can upgrade to an i7, the power supply, and probably another 8GB of RAM. Or if you want an overhaul, you can look into something like: PCPartPicker part list /...

    Frequent Game Crashes.

    Are you letting windows install the drivers, or are you downloading them from AMD? I was working with a client last night, and the download page was not working. So ended up using the auto-detect .exe file. All the fans are spinning, correct?

    Frequent Game Crashes.

    I actually meant re-seat. Meaning take the GPU out, and re-seat it.

    Frequent Game Crashes.

    Well, this is a strange one. Have you tried to resit it? Sometimes, the card may get loose. The stranger part is that it doesn't fail using any benchmark. Have you tried to do a clean install? I know it sucks, but that's one of the main things to do when testing out a GPU. In your other thread...

    My MSI gt 1030 doesn't have a port for my monitor, what do I do?

    You want to get an adapter or a double-ended cable. What I mean is a HDMI-to-VGA. It won't have the best quality, but I don't think you are expecting that with a 1030. I use a DP-toHDMI for my GTX 1060 and it works wonderful. Here is one for $10 on amazon http://a.co/7h4hdDI

    Low fps for hardware in use

    There is also one thing I forgot to mention, not all hardware are the same. So you may see one 1080 Ti get 100 FPS, while another one will get 150 FPS. It's not that say that the former is bad, it's just hard cannot be exact.

    Low fps for hardware in use

    I honestly will never understand getting anything above 90FPS will still be "it's not enough." You have X299 chip, so I assume that gaming is not your only use. Did you have another video card other than the the 1080 Ti? What are you temps? What is your usage?

    1080p@ 144HZ vs 1440p@ 60Hz

    Well, FPS is better played at a higher refresh rate. however the bigger the monitor the more pixelated 1080p will get . So if you may see some bad quality with that 1080p. I would recommend a nice 24" 1080p at 144hz. Unless you are going to be amaze by the grass and water, I don't think you...

    Which CPU should I get for an EVGA gtx 1050 ti sc

    Do you already have the 1050 Ti? You can re-arrange you money to get a better GPU. If you already have it, there is not point getting the 1600 unless you plan on doing some multi-tasking or upping your GPU. You should be fine with a Ryzen 5 1400. or even a Ryzen 3 1300x.
