My plasma LG Plasma 60PV250 seems to have a max refresh rate of 60 Hz - is this correct? (On this page http://www.lg.com/au/tvs/lg-60PV250-plasma-tv it says '600Hz Max Sub-field Driving Yes (600Hz MAX)' I don't even know what that means). HWInfo seems to think its a different model...

I'm looking at some cheap headsets plus mic for pc gamming - BF1/ origin plus some steam. I asked about one and the guy at the store said 'Yeh, you could use that. You probably won't get all the channels but it will do.' I didn't ask (in a rush) but - what's this about channels? What might I...

Thanks kittybooze, I'll look into logitech and the guide.

Looking for recommendations for keyboard + mouse for gaming (mostly shooter / action) - wanting to spend around $Aud150-$US120; prefer to buy from a supplier in Australia (would consider a good o/s deal if postage included does not wreak the deal). I don't know much at all about gaming...

Thanks junkeymonkey, you've been a great help. You're work is good!

Hi junkeymonkey, if you look at this review of the samsung xp941 in an asrock z97 extreme 6 board the issue is discussed (my sm951 drive goes in the ultra m2 slot as well): http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsung-xp941-z97-pci-express,3826-3.html The key bit is quoted below (inside '==...

Thanks junkeymonkey: after the render test on GPU-z, the GPU goes up to *8 3.0 and HwInfo shows PCIe v3.0 x16 (8.0 GT/s) @ x8 (8.0 GT/s). So with these results - all is good, I should be happy? I would like to keep using the sm951 and would only really think about swapping it out if I'm not...

Thanks ancient - good thought. For this mobo a single 16 lane pcie graphics card goes into the PCIE2 slot which is where the card is. The documentation warns that if you use a drive like the sm951 it will steal some of the pcie lanes that would otherwise be available to a graphics card, so I...

Thanks junkeymonkey - if your looking at PCIE link speed line in the sensor status mine is 2.5 GT/s for every column (current min max av). I haven't done much at all on the machine yet that would put the graphics under load - played a little of one steam game online. Am I looking in the right...

Looking at HWInfo, I see that my GTX 1080 is only accessing 8 PCIE 3.0 lanes (at 2.5 GT/s) bandwidth, vs the possible 16 lanes at 8.0 GT/s bandwith, I think because I'm using a sm951 drive that steals some lanes on my board (ASRock z97 Extreme 6). Should I worry about this? Some background: I...
