While making a ROM dump from an actual cartridge is being touted as the legal way to emulate classic video games, it all depends on the country and it's respected copyright laws. It is still copyright infringement in Australia to make a ROM dump from the original cartridge as the Australian...

I installed the latest drivers (388.71) for my Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX1080 Waterforce and most of my apps/games either won't start at all or randomly crash because of the NVIDIA display driver crashing. Each time a game crashes or install-crashes or when an application like Adobe Creative...

I get this crash too and I only have one monitor. at the time of my post, I am using the latest Nvidia Display drivers. The game runs like butter on my 4.4Ghz Corsair H115i cooled i7-4790k, 32Gb Corsair Vengeance pro 2400 DDR3 RAM and 8Gb Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX1080 Waterforce. However...

Hi. I have a problem that's been dogging me for a couple of years now (This problem didn't happen before Windows 10's release so I am suspicious of that). Every time I start up my PC I have to wait several mins with the blue circle on my network icon in the bottom-right of the taskbar. It was...

And YES this is an ASUS Motherboard, a Z97-k So far I have tried Speedfan, OCCT and HWinfo Here is the info that HWInfo gives me:. (it is more detailed than the other programs that just say Motherboard = 115 Deg) It is probably just a typical case of faulty Asus sensors but the mobo is quite...

My Noctua died yesterday causing my rig to overheat and BSOD with a CPU Stop Error, after 5 mins of idling. I guess it was working only as a fan at the end, it did serve me well but now needs a dignified funeral. I bit the bullet and installed the Corsair H115i Liquid Cooler and moved the...

Hi. I am working on an UltraHD texture pack for engine ports of the original Doom. (Gzdoom, doomsday, gzdoom, etc). I use Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 (64bit) I am avoiding Creative Cloud as I don't want to pay monthly fees for the rest of my life to use the program. I got my physical copy of...

I've been a member of Team Green since 3DFX shot themselves in the foot, by stopping licencing their voodoo3 chipset to other manufacturers and charging extreme prices for them, effectvely going out of business. My fist card was the RivaTNT. The card Nvidia used to redeem themselves after the...

On my current settings Battlefield 1 crashed. I was trying to play the Gallipoli campaign as here in Australia it's ANZAC day, and I have many frends that served in the military so I wanted to play it as a mark of respect for those that went to Gallipoli and never saw Australia or New Zealand...

Thanks for all your info. ATM I use both Gigabyte's software (for the power limit raise, the fan curve and the LED) and Afterburner (to raise the Core clock and memory clock) I never touch the voltage and leave it locked on Afterburner to avoid touching it by accident. mucking with voltage is...

I have the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX1080 Water force and I can't get it faster than the lowest stock speed of 1759. Even when I OC it 1759Mhz is as high as the core clock goes. this is the lowest speed of stock standard. I keep hearing all these stories of people getting these cards to and...

I also discovered another driver related issue. I found that there is a bug with the Pascal cards and the nvidia control panel's power management option. If I select "Prefer Maximum Performance" then my core and memory clocks are stuck at 1759Mhz and 10400Mhz respectively when idling at the...
