Then amd bought them and they went to ****. Nvidia's been king since. I think ATI went to **** before AMD bought them. Nvidia was already ahead and getting bought out by AMD was probably the best thing that ATI could've hoped for at that point. Least that's how I remembered it. Back when my ATI Radeo X850 with an AGP interface was good enough to run CS:S on high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Computer boot problem resolved and heating is kind of fixed. But this stupid monitor blacks out randomly and then I have to disconnect and reconnect the dvi cable and then it stays black. It loads but it's very dim and you can barely see anything. Then it just goes black which is kind of irritating. This happened occasionally when I had my old video card, now I installed a new card and then this happens again. How do I make this stop.

Does the monitor work fine on an another computer? If still dim then the backlit light is going bad or has gone bad... in that case time for a new monitor.

I fixed it by unplugging the DVI cord and leaving it out for a few minutes, then plugging it back in. Driver issue or DirectX messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old is your monitor? Also, why aren't you using HDMI instead if you got a new card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue was mainly through alt tabbing in game which led me to realize it was probably video card setting related so I just googled and there was a whole post about other people who had the same issue. Hope it's fixed now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's fixed now... I figured the alt-tab was not getting to your monitor quick enough and maybe your monitor was a tad bit old or a poor connection. I usually don't mess with hertz but then again I haven't had to since I don't play games anymore...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) It's definitely a video card issue with the settings. Every time I launch the game now it freezes. I'll figure it out. Thanks anyway Edited February 27, 2017 by ixcuincle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got out of the custom PC game years ago, but as I understand, this thing is a big deal. I'm waiting for more benchmarks to come out, but it looks like they may have a hit on their hands. Between the Ryzen and Vega, AMD might be making quite the comeback in both CPU and GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel has had the processor market on lock down since core2s came out. I've kind of considered AMD/ATI to be the budget version of Intel/Nvidia for a while now. Steams hardware survey doesnt give the entire story obviously, but as of Jan 2017, only 21.5% of people on steam were using an AMD processor. Only place to go is up for them. Maybe it'll push Intel a bit harder if they start seeing that market share shrink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) I've got an offer for a Samsung Curved LED monitor 27" for $190. Price seems good—I paid $250 ish for my current display like 8 years ago. It still works well enough—but could be time for an upgrade. Is this a good product?

I can't tell you if the price is good or not. But, Samsung does make good monitors so you can't go wrong with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 What are you hoping to accomplish? 27" is fairly large for a desktop monitor. If you're not used to a large monitor close up like that it can actually be unpleasant for some people. If you're already used to that or know it's something you want, then disregard. What does it have over your current one that's working fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it have over your current one that's working fine? I have a 27" iMac at work, so used to the large display. Although not curved. Just looking to upgrade, I run out of space for windows, browser, palettes etc on the small screen. I just feel that $190 is a good price for a large display like that regardless of curve, but not really sure that that's true. Just looking for feedback.

Renegade7 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) I'm going through it trying to keep our systems up to date and not feeling supported, and stuff like this is why. So troubled hospital systems are still using XP and so many companies like FedEx as well aren't maintaining updates or proper backups. This is easy stuff, they are killing us with easy stuff. And so sick of entities like NSA holding onto these ZeroDays instead of helping patch, then when they are in the wild instead everyone is screwed: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/hospitals-across-england-report-it-failure-amid-suspected-major-cyber-attack/2017/05/12/84e3dc5e-3723-11e7-b373-418f6849a004_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_britain-240pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.ae29c0b15240 Malicious software that blocks access to computers is spreading swiftly across the world, snarling critical systems in hospitals, telecommunications and corporate offices with the help of a software vulnerability originally discovered by the National Security Agency. The reports of the malware spread began in Britain, where the National Health Service (NHS) described serious problems throughout Friday. But government officials and cybersecurity experts later described a far more extensive problem growing across the Internet, with tens of thousands of computers in dozens of nations affected. Europe, Asia and Latin America were especially hard hit. “This is not targeted at the NHS,” British Prime Minister Theresa May told reporters. “It’s an international attack, and a number of countries and organizations have been affected.” Edited May 12, 2017 by Renegade7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
