A final update: returned the video card as it just did not work....most likely because it was a 3.0 pci card stuck into a 2.0 pci slot. I mean...that is the "obvious" answer confirmed by the card maker. So...installed a Nvidia GE Force GT730 card instead. On the lower end of things with near...

UPDATE and Final: Multiple phone calls with helpful Asus Tech Support in Canada and upshot is they say after trying other drivers and such that running the 3.0 card in a 2.0 slot could make it "not work." Now..... that could be just an easy excuse and a lost sale for ASUS.... or more a...

That is what I suspect as well, which is why I have been trying to install Win 10 to "fix" the new driver installation issue. The default driver worked on the previous multi-monitor card, but not this one. Fair enough. So, we do have to assume that "by design" this card does not run multi...

Radeon RX460 ((https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126125&cm_re=radeon_460-_-14-126-125-_-Product)). For three days I ran it with just a single monitor hooked up via the dvi to dvi connection. When my 25 foot hdmi cable arrived by mail, I used it to connect the card to my...

Installed the card (into a pci-e 2.0 slot which is not supposed to matter on this issue.....as I understand it??) and connected it to my monitor using the DVI connection. No issues there. Now...3 days later, I connected my HDTV to the card using the HDMI connection. Nothing happened. HDTV...

k1114: indeed I may have the terminology wrong. I just experienced several problems getting the Win10 ISO to download...as in it would not download to either a file for installation on another computer nor would it download to the usb stick. I fussed around and then it did download to my...

thanks Again Off Road, this might amuse you? More research happened upon just what I think I want: running 3D and 360 movies off a tablet which can be 7-10-12 inches with increasing resolution. Amazon sells a limited variety of headset goggles made for these as well. I fell on this via a...

My concern isn't for the headset...but for the phone....and you are confirming what I think "should be" the state of affairs. I don't need a phone at all: I get by with a $2/year phone cost by using Skype. To spend $700 just to see if 3D/VR is worth it just violates my Scottish soul...... but...

Thanks off road. Good heads up regarding latency. do you know this by experience...or by general knowledge applied?....Or what I think might be the most common right now: having a $600 Edge 6 (whatever) that is broken and not working...for VR but still fully functional for 3D? Hmmm...while I...

All the articles are about "the best" or the maximum performance but I don't want to play games. All I want to do is look at 3D and 360 Degree Movies (yes...... non immersive). that said, it seems to me I don't need a smart phone with an accelerometer or a gryroscope: ie....all I should need...

Thanks k114. I have installed a Radeon 460 into my Pci-e 2.0 slot. It will run one monitor in a "disabled condition." Will be hooking up two more monitors when the adapter plugs arrive by mail from NewEgg. I'm not getting any speed boost at all from the additional stream processors....its...

NewEgg is selling a 460 for $90. think I'll go for this rather than a cheaper model and just "hope" it will do H.265 coding. If not, I will still benefit from having 3 active monitors. Of interest, one Q&A says the 460, a pcie 3.0 card, will run "without issues" in a pcie 2.0 slot which will...

k1114....thanks. Your answer is quite ironic. How can anyone "know" about the subject WHEN the manufacturers DON'T PROVIDE THE INFORMATION? As stated: it should be a line item like how many CUDA Cores or what power socket it uses or its Direct Show version....but no such luck. Rather odd I...

Ikaz: thanks. I use testimony when nothing else is available...but even with, I wonder if "all" such cards have H.265 capability? No doubt...some do...but at the bottom of the line intro cards? Thats why I want it in print ..... somewhere. Security Guy: same as above. fluked: I agree...

OK.... very related, I'm testing new encoding software (this is 7th Share) that is x3 faster than Handbrake...but takes 100% of the cpu making multi tasking impossible. At first go, the "affinity" control did not have effect, now I think it is as the cpu cores are bouncing down to 80% allow the...
