what are the cheapest gpus that can run four monitors simultaneously?

Even the cheapest cards can handle 4 monitors.

Monitor/GPU won't recognize Display Port cable.
Already updated drivers for both.
Already plugged and unplugged.
wat do

whats a good place to see comparison benchmarks for different nvidai drivers on different cards? for exapmle how new drivers affect realtively old card in performance and stutter

Is it just me, or is the flatpak nightly-graphics repo offline?

I currently do not have access to a VPN. Am I going to get fucked if I try to download that programming books pack off of TPB?

depends if you're living in a free country ;)

I live in the US of A. I guess I should have posted that.

Ive got a weird problem with mounted usb drives on my arch installation.
I mounted my usb drive with the following command;
sudo mount -o gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002,rw /dev/sdb1 /media/flashdrive
I can edit and save files fine, but I cannot create new files or delete existing files.
I have permissions drwxrwxr-x in the mount location, I also chown'ed and chmod 777 the same location.

give me an example, i'm not familiar with gpus since i do not game. i have a 560 i think. my motherboard doesn't allow for on board video either.

it's about the connectors on the back of the card more than the gpu

so having four connectors. vga, dvi(2) and hdmi

i would a assume you need a lot of vram. like i said i won't be gaming but four screens is a lot. on 1gb, even if they're just excel spreadsheets

a gtx560 should be enough to drive 4 monitors for regular stuff at 1080p

What PSU do I need to overclock my cpu? Currently have a 430w

Running an i5-2500k(3.3) and an Rx 480

I'm sure I'm not crazy but google and shitty tech help forums are making me feel like it.
My desktop has been doing this weird shit where if I click an icon then try to select a few icons directly below it, it will select every fucking icons to the right of the first icon (horizontally) down to the icons below.
All these fucking forums are saying windows has always done this which is a lie or they try to be cheeky and suggest dragging the mouse to select.
Along with this issue when I save things to the desktop they will alternate to the top left or to the bottom right of the icons.
Please help me fix this.

You don't need a better higher wattage PSU to overclock your CPU.

Is there any way to make the IP differ from the host on an Windows VM? Virtaulbox

Looking to upgrade my gpu since my hd6970 went bad, thinking of either gtx1060 6gb or rx480 8gb. Will mostly be playing Arma 3, maybe from time to time a newer AAA release, but don't need this to run perfectly on ultra settings.

Which of these cards are best for Arma, and can it run three monitors decently, as decently as Arma 3 will ever run?

Cpu is 2500k, not sure if this is a bottleneck?

change the network to bridged.

Always been like this. Use ctrl and select icons.

Thing is I have the card but it only has three ports and only drives two screens. My question is what card is the cheapest where I can run 4 screens at the same time.

Maybe I wasn't clear before.

Chose Bridge Adapter and cable connected, otherwise it wont connect. Still get the same public IP?

No it wasn't and Bearstein Bears were always Bearstein.

kek

did you restart the VM? it's using his own adapter now. having the same IP would result in a conflict.

Do "black box" game repacks work from a USB drive?

Just restarted and its giving me the same IP. However it changed to network to network2 with the birdged network setting

Can I lay my desktop case on its side? My GPU and hyper 212 are sagging due to weight.

Or is this sagging not a problem? I have tried tightening all the screws and it does nothing.

then you already have a different IP than the host. it's not possible to have the same using bridged networking.
are you using dhcp to get the ips?

Yes. But if you have hard disks then don't flip it while it's running.

A website loads something.js
How can I replace parts of that code in my browser in real time?
I know I can use an extension like FoxReplace, but I think it will only replace JS that is in in the HTML. This one does though.

Windows has literally always done this.
When you press Shift+mouse to select multiple files, it'll select everything between what you selected first and the second file you click on. When you press Ctrl+mouse, it only selects what you click on.

depending on how something.js executes you can override it's properties.
in some cases you can't, but again it depends on how the script works.

so basically, you can't replace parts of it, only the entire thing if you can inject JS before something.js gets included.

I just had the idea to replace the source URL with my own modified version. Will report back whether it works.

Managed to inject an alert box
I assume it's working that way, gonna test more!

Any issues with signing up for a MEGA account? You know, like privacy and shit.

The nz government literally owns the company and is in bed with various companies

CAPTCHA keeps timing out before my image can finish uploading. Any way to work around that without getting a pass or finding a faster internet connection?

I wish. I was told I'm too white and American to get a labor job in Germany. I wanted to move there to learn the language and get a bioengineering degree because I won't be able to afford one stateside anytime soon.

I know, I know... it was the best laptop at Best Buy when I had an immediate need to replace my Toshiba Satellite that I kept in my van when working in North Dakota a couple winters ago.

Well, that fucking sucks. Are there still non-LCD laptop screens?

I honestly doubt anyone here is bored enough to look up into this. here's log from Event Viewer. My SSD probably causes system to freeze for solid couple of minutes when i delete or unpack large files.

Im anal about fixing this because i REALLY don't want to go back to win10.(everything works fine there apart from not recognising android phones. so yeah. I'm either stuck with nice win 7 and system not responding or with shitty win10 which do not recognise android phones.)

Well fuck, burner email it is.

I want my sister's USB keyboard to play a fart sound on the host computer when she plugs it in. Not just her computer, any computer. What books should I read to get prepared fot this project?

>Are there still non-LCD laptop screens?
There pretty much never were

No it hasn't.
I've been using windows since 98 to 10 and when you select icons via shift and clicking it's would go up and down not from left to right.

>go to PCPartPicker website
>browse video cards
>look to bar on left side
>port sliders (HDMI, displayport, etc)
>slide whichever you need to the needed value (e.g. 2 HDMI, 2 DP, or 4 DP, whatever)
>sort by lowest price
Also make sure that you have the site set to the correct country (very top right on every page).

I have a bunch of 720p blu-ray rips. They look fine on my 1080p monitor.
Will quality degrade considerably on a 1440p monitor from being "stretched"?

amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Wizardry-Guides/dp/0786950420

It will just upscale them

I know. But will quality noticeably degrade from 720p -> 1440p

Yeah, if you're using one of the listed icon/file views instead of the grid of icons in explorer.

Shift+click selects a range of files, e.g. 1 -> 10. If these are arranged on a grid, then it selects them on a grid going either left or right because that's the order the files are in. It has done this forever.

Read this, then tell your father to read it too.

Your bigger concern would be increasing the size of your screen. 25inch+ can be unforgiving

Already read it. I went to grade school in Leicester and it was required reading.

What's a good pen for everyday use? I remember there being the occasional pen thread, but it's been a while since I saw one.
Nothing super fancy, I'm just tired of the crappy pens at work (amongst other things) and want to bring my own stuff, including a nice pen.

>What's a good pen for everyday use?
a regular BIC pen

I've ran across this when using Windows 7 and 8. Something fucks up the alignment I far as I know there is no fix other than a system restore or a full reinstall.

How do I into cold weather laptop?

I found these recently, and I find them perfect. I have pretty small writting, though.

buy an i7 now or wait for the new i5?

Just buy the i7. Playing the waiting game is torture.

What was the page for the $1 custom mousepad website?

Buy a unlocked I5 now.
What are you going to do that you need a I7.

I just assembled a computer and used the pre-applied thermal paste. This was a mistake as my CPU is overheating at 94+ degrees. Is it safe to wait a couple days for the thermal paste I ordered just now or should I turn off the computer?

i make homemade porn movies and i'm trying to head in a pro-level quality

even with the pre-applied paste it shouldn't get this high.
if these are idle temps I definitely wouldn't let it run at all.

Turn it off.
Your CPU should automatically turn off at 92°C.

What are you using to check the temperatures?
Are you using an AMD APU?

Would it be fine to update to the latest mobo firmware on windows 10? It's a P8Z68-V

>92°C
BIOS is 100c standard for decades

If I have three icons on my desktop that I want to select and they are all over one another vertically.
It has always been possible to click that first one, hold shift, then click the third one and all three would be selected. Top to bottom, up and down.
Windows has never gone from left to right when selecting this way.

Rule of thumb when it comes to motherboard firmware.
If its not broken dont fix it.

Why do you want to update them?

The 2 front USB on my case don't work. when I overclocked my 2500k I'd get a problem where my PC would constantly turn off and on before even reaching the boot screen

Sorry, you're wrong.

Very unlikely that that has anything to do with the firmware. Might be your power supply isn't enough

Sounds like a hardware failure rather than a firmware problem.
Voltage problems maybe?

Any of you chinks use Musicbee? Do you guys enjoy it?

it always was like this.
maybe you're thinking of ctrl-clicking.

the power was disconnected in my house earlier so the electrical could be worked on, when the power came back I turned my PC on and now my keyboard doesn't work via the PS/2 connection, when I plug in the same keyboard through USB it works. Why? the PC wasn't even on when the power was cut.

When I'm viewing a video on YouTube and decide to skip ahead on the video, there's a random chance the video will freeze along with my entire browser.
During this, a single Chrome process task will consume a high amount of CPU usage. The overall issue is simply resolved by ending said process task.

However, I have absolutely no fucking idea why this issue occurs in the first place, nor can I find any sort of solution.
The only extension I have is 'uBlock Origin' and I've tried resetting the settings within Chrome, yet to no avail.

max temperature is in the CPU, not the bios.
once tjmax is reached it'll fire a THERMTRIP signal to turn everything off.

I'll probably just hold off on mobo update until I buy a better PSU and see if that fixes overclock issues. Have a corsair cx430 I think

For how much are you overclocking it?

Which CPU are you using?
Is your HSF even working?

No fan of them, dunno why.

So do I, I'll see if they're something for me, thanks!

Ryzen SR5 isn't gonna be cheaper than an i5, is it? I'm worried they are only going to undercut the i7 and leave me hanging so I might as well just go pick up an i5 now.

I just used an auto setting on my asus mobo. I'm gonna try overclocking again today If I can figure it out

Dunno.

Who knows, motherboards sure wont be cheaper than Z170 motherboards for sure.

I'm too poor for a Z170 so i'm looking at the 6500 anyways.

I need a mixer to basically merge two stereo audio channels into one. The device should ideally also support xlr mics, as I plan on purchasing one down the road. I'd just buy any medium-range mixer but it feels like casting pearls because I don't want to mix 20 channels and don't need any of that filter bullshit. I just want to merge my audio (preferably with good quality) and maybe power one mic. What's Sup Forums's recommendation that's not a huge-ass 20 channel mixer?

That's because you only have vertical arranged icons in that example, you retard!

I don't even know what "leave me hanging" means. Just get whatever processor you want now.

are KVM switches still the go to solution for managing multiple computers?

Stop fucking with me and help me out.

How do u connect 3 monitors via hdmi if u only have 1 hdmi port?

you can't, you have to use the other ports which might require converters.

I'm trying to keep my fans as quiet as possible. Is 60°C a comfortable temperature for both CPU and GPU?

How the fuck do you get jobs on freelancing sites? Everyone either wants a Punjeet which will inevitably produce shitty broken code or they put up job ads and never look at them again or the proposals.

Is that mariah carrey?

Maria Carey has an ass.

This is the worst troll ever
