In serial data transfer, the bytes are sent sequentially. How does a computer know when a byte starts or ends? Like if you plug in a wire in the middle of a live data transfer, (like PCM audio data or a video stream) how does the computer know where in the byte a certain bit belongs to? I'm...

I have a P2415Q 4k monitor which is IPS 24" UHD. On black screen there is some glow on the bottom left corner of the screen. It is not noticeable in normal use, just when the screen goes black (videos, games, etc). Is this too much or is this normal IPS glow. Return process is lengthy and not...

When I try to play 4K YouTUbe videos on Firefox, (60FPS to be exact) It lags like crazy, and the CPU usage goes to full. 4K 60 becomes more like 4K 10-20. It is not a network issue, since more video is buffered than played, so I don't have buffering issues. I have a r9 390, but I doubt Firefox...

Which ones do? I have an R9 390 and I want to know if it supports HDMI 2 0 so I can run 4K@60Hz. Display Port is weird and unheard of in stores so I'd rather use HDMI. Which Display Port and HDMI version does 390 use? One more question. How much more beneficial is >4K resolutions, such as 5K...

Sorry for my ignorance but if PC Microsoft Windows runs on x86 and so do consoles, then why can't you play a Xbox one game on a PC? Windows can be installed on a Mac, a surface tablet, and its apps can be run on wine Linux all because they all run on x86. So why can't we take console game data...

I have a Powercolor PCS+ R9 390 and it cannot overclock without crashing. The stock is 1010mhz core and 1500mhz memory. When I overclock to 1100 and 1550 after a while the computer will give a black screen and I'll have to restart. I know for a fact that it's not supposed to do this, I've heard...

Hello, I have a Powercolor PCS+ r9 390 and I noticed that the fans never spin. On idle the temps are around 37-49 and load is usually 60-65 (75 on stress marks). I noticed the fans only turn on when I play a game. After I stop playing the fans turn off, even if its at 50c.I can manually set the...

If you had to choose, what's the most similar performing AMD R9 card when compared to modern gen consoles

I have a Powercolor R9 390 and when I turn on the overdrive the system becomes unstable. The driver randomly crashes and recovers, but mostly doesn't recover and a black screen shows up just after a short burst of pixelated mess, forcing me to restart. This is not during gaming. This happens...

I have a Powercolor PCS+ R9 390 and the temps are very good. Around low 30s in idle and mid 60s in intense gaming

How big is the difference between a dual fan and a three fan gpu? Will I see a significant temperature drop on a Powercolor R9 390 (3 fan) vs an MSI twin Frostr R9 390 (2 fan)? One more question. Is it normal for GPU fan to stop spinning at idle?
