Nevermind: I turned off FreeSync and then I was allowed to change the refresh rate to 144 hz. Thanks.

I have a Zotac RTX 4080 connected by displayport to two L 32GR93U 32 inch 4k monitors and one LG 27GL850-B 27 inch QHD monitor. I use the 4080's one HDMI 2.1 port to connect to another LG 27GL850-B. I have a minor issue: the monitor connected by HDMI does not allow adjustment to its max...

I mentioned that when I installed the NIC, the motherboard controller was not visible or functional. The motherboard controller only "reappeared" once I had the NIC in. If the MB controller had been turned off, I would not have discovered that it was functional again. I realize this is...

I have a pretty good computer with the following specs: Gigabyte Z790 UD AC motherboard i9-13900 64 GB DDR5 Windows 10 Pro RTX 4080 I just got fiber internet recently. One day I noticed that the computer was connecting over Wifi. Upon investigation, the Realtek ethernet controller was not...

I think I solved it. The 4K monitors I am looking at support HDMI 2.1a input also. Therefore, just using the included HDMI cable for one of the 4K monitors may work.

I have the RTX 4080 card with 3 x DP ports and 1 x HDMI port. I would like to attach 4 DisplayPort monitors. Two 4k monitors and 2 QHD resolution monitors. How do i go about this with this card? What adapter do I need to ensure that the HDMI signal from the RTX 4080 will power a DisplayPort...

You said pretty much the same thing twice. I could still use a link to a comprehensive guide to allow someone to get a home network to allow file sharing with all the info here. I literally had to do everything on this list to get two NEW Windows computers to network. Neither had anything but...

I appreciate the feedback but I never found anything from Microsoft or anyone else that had ALL of these settings compiled in one place. Perhaps you can point me in the direction of another comprehensive guide or two. I didn't decide to put work into this for no reason. Thanks.

I don't know if this will help: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/windows-networking-guide-please-help-me-edit-this.3815359/

After my recent weeklong experience in frustration, trying to get two new PCs to connect to each other on my home LAN ethernet connection, I decided to write/compile a guide so that the next person might be more likely to succeed in less time than it took me. There are multiple sites and...

Thanks so much. You message was enough for me to look at the connections critically. I had the higher res panels connected by ONE of their two HDMI ports. I switched their connection using the included DisplayPort cables and the monitors immediately switched to high res. Newbie error on my...

I have the monitors connected and the maximum resolution I can get on any of them is the 1920 x 1080 in Windows. I have an RTX 4080 video card, running on Win 10 Pro. Is it possible or advisable to run the higher res panels at their native resolution? Should I get two more of the higher res...

Solved. I went over everything with a fine tooth comb. I installed a new network switch. I rebooted my router via it's software interface. Still. The new computer was not visible to the old one. So I did a Network Reset on the new PC. Solved.

Ok. So I just proceeded to UNsolve the problem. I switched from wifi to ethernet on the new PC. Immediately I got the "you do not have permission" error when I tried to access the shared drives. I tried Method 2 and Method 3 at the link above. No change. So I decided that wifi access was...

i finally solved the problem. First i went to Credentials Manager and entered a set of credentials for the new PC. Then I made sure that the credentials I entered were correct. I even changed my credentials on the new PC to match (ha ha). I rebooted the new PC. Immediately I noticed that the...
