I have the same setup as you, 144hz on the left and 60hz on the right. I had this problem at one point, but don't have it anymore. If I recall, I think I disabled vsync and set gsync to work on windowed as well as fullscreen for the left monitor. Haven't experienced the problem since those...

So, about eyestrain. I have the acer xb27hu 1440p 144hz 27 incher, and have unfortunately been suffering severe eyestrain using it, even with windows DPI scaling at 150%. I'm not sure if it has something to do with gsync, the framerate, or the resolution itself. Either that, or having a 60hz...

I have this motherboard, but unfortunately haven't been able to use it yet. I've tried moving the main drive over from my main system without reinstalling anything but couldn't get the USB ports to work (possibly due to win7), so I can't install drivers and whatnot. I tried to 'preinstall'...

I bought this monitor and am very happy with it, no defects and working perfectly. The only downside I've found is that at higher resolutions I use 150% DPI scaling, with a second 1080p monitor - and I can't seem to find a way to set DPI scaling different for each monitor. It makes the second...

Normally, I'm not one to care about looks, but that thing looks freakin' sweet when lit up sitting there on top of the CPU. I'm a low-profile black-case no-window kind of guy, so pragmatics win for me (Noctua) but this cooler makes the CPU look like a little reactor. Pretty snazzy.

Thanks for your input you two. The parts I may sell were fairly recent, like an i5-3570k and so on. I was kinda hoping that there was a chain of 'gamer pc pawn shops' that would take old gaming PCs for less money and resell them because it'd be far less hassle than ebay. Someone could...

Good day all, I was just wondering how or what you all do with your old systems if you're trying to get some money out of them. Do you try to ebay them if they're still fairly recent and working? Do you sell the parts individually? Do you have any sort of PC shops locally that buy old...

It can be a bit confusing, but you could try disassembling the monitor. When you remove the back panel, there's a ribbon cable that goes from the panel to the guts, kind of like the one that connects a laptop keyboard to its motherboard. Try re-seating it.

Another thread gave me a second idea based on something similar I've done before. I had two computers hooked up to one monitor and cycled the inputs to switch over. You could do the opposite, hookk up two connections to your monitor, one from your GPU and one from your iGPU. Then, choose your...

How old is the laptop? It sounds like one of a few things: First, the drive is failing/has a corrupted sector causing the driver install to go bad. A way to check this is reinstalling the driver (if you can). More likely is that the graphics card is repeatedly crashing and rebooting due to...

Unfortunately, I think that would be the case. I'm not sure if the iGPU is activated by default either, it may require setting the display to the iGPU in the BIOS every time you want to use it, which sounds unbearable. Apparently, there's somthing called Optimus for nVidia which manages this...

Are you opposed to the aftermarket? While big name stores tend to only keep models from the past three years, the people that buy these newer models tend to have their old monitors sit around and collect dust (like me, lol). You could use eBay and the like, referencing model numbers to their...

I know its long, but its not that that long. Please take the time to read it and give your opinion/advice
