Re: [G-SYNC Kit] WARNING! Be careful with brown clip/blue ri

The answer is that the brown tab pulls away horizontally first BEFORE it pops up diagonally. The NVIDIA instructions are not clear about this at all. Unfortunately it's now too damaged to work properly. Will try to get repaired and post then.

Re: Why 4k? Why not call it 2160p?

It was a pre-existing name (4K) used for hollywood digital masters that existed long before 4K displays really existed. 4K is an easier, more marketable name too, than a number "2160p". That makes sense, I wondered if there was some pre-existing thing I didn't know about...it just seemed like a rea...

Why 4k? Why not call it 2160p?

For years, the standard of "HD" has been 1920x1080, referred to as 1080p, with the vertical axis pixel count being the normal way to reference a screen. This was the same with 720p. Why, with these new screens being a resolution of 4096x2160 are they being referred to as "4k" screens instead of 2160...

Re: G-SYNC Upgrade Board Giveaway - FIVE boards!

I have been told that while the 780 ti is better for gaming, the Titan is better for other applications like video editing/etc. I can't find a source for this anywhere at the moment, but I know of at least two people who I consider to be semi intelligent who bought a Titan instead of a 780 ti for th...

Re: Lightboost and Monitor Life

Thank you so much for the informed reply! I am already using LightBoost and LOVE it, I just wondered about long term effects on my monitor. It seemed to cause a bit more eye strain at first but I think I'm getting used to it and it doesn't bother me near as much anymore. Extremely excited to check o...
