"inflation" explains a slow increase in price. Not the falloff of all cases without windows and usb 3 on the front in the past 5-6 months. https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/productlist.aspx?n=601310882%20600006506%20600315565%20600311671%20100022120 There are two that I thought had wi...

So, now the P7 silent is missing everywhere. Newegg currently only has two cases under 60 dollars that has USB 3 FPIO and no windowed side panels that can fit an ATX board. wtf is going on?

Vinceant

I think it is a bit much to expect a decent hinge-style side panel in the $60-and-under segment. Great that the Fractal Design Core 2300/2500 met all of his requirements before, but now that it is going away it may be time to decide what features to compromise on. An open bench style case is going ...

Vinceant

Requirements not set by me, but by the specific client I still build custom machines for. What they are doing doesn't strictly require all of those PCI express slots, but a couple of the requirements the owner of said business has laid out does require more flexibility than a typical compact board w...

Vinceant

Hard to explain fully but briefly, but it makes sense for this client. Short answer is: lots of PCI express slots needed short term and for future proofing/application flexibility, so full ATX required. Both those cases you linked will not work. They are not ATX. The PS14 looks decent though, Newegg...

Vinceant

They have the hinge type instead of the friction fit type. I HATE the friction fit type on budget/conservative cases, they always have problems with the mechanism because it's bent sheet steel and not bent very precisely. I use these cases for offices for ease of maintenance. The side panels are a b...

Vinceant

Well this sucks. It appears my two favorite general use cases are going bye bye. Best side panels apart from my Three Hundred Two, and pretty good in general. Anybody find anything similar in that price range (50-60ish)? Fractal doesn't seem to have replacements out. Closest things I can find are th...

Vinceant

I have the Zotac Mini 1080. It's slightly louder than my 980 Windforce card was, but not obnoxiously so. It's a good card, and considering the price of the 20xx stuff, worth 400.

Vinceant

Consumer Nvidia cards do not support more than 3 displays at the same time, even though they have a hojilion output options. I don't know about AMD, as I haven't run an AMD card on a personal or gaming rig in... ever? Now that I think about it, the first dGPU I ever purchased was a GeForce 4 MX seri...

Vinceant

The cards have to be 4 display capable for this site. It's a requirement set by the client years ago, but he's the boss, not me. XD I'm just happy reasonable cost 4 display cards exist in the pro segment. The 7750s were workstation configured and priced, but were getting really old. A P600 is cheape...

Vinceant

Looks like Quadro P600, or Radeon Pro WX 4100 are the minimums from each company. I'm gonna have the client order one of each and we'll see how they work. If the Nvidia offering works, we'll go with that as it's significantly cheaper than the Radeon, though not nearly as pretty (that shroud is gorge...

Vinceant

I have a client that almost exclusively uses quad monitor rigs. We've been using the same GPU on all the rigs for quite some time. A Visiontek 7750, with 6 mini DP's. The reason we started using this years ago was the Nvidia cards at the time didn't support 4 monitors, and neither did most AMD consu...

Vinceant

isn't the "fresh start" option supposed to preserve your data? if so, that's the one i mean. Fresh start deletes all your apps though, which is what'll take me a long time to set back up. The data itself might take me roughly an hour to copy to and from something that's fast. At this poin...

Vinceant

That is the same as doing an in place upgrade, which is also the same as a build update. Unless you mean the "fresh start" option (which is the only option I have on my current build), which is a built in reinstall.

Vinceant

Yeah, just tried it. No change. Guess that rules out Nvidia. I tried logging into my MS account on the spare drive and weirdly, it seems to still function just fine. I'm not really sure why, as I definitely tried a fresh install before (sometime last year). Perhaps something used to propagate but no...

Vinceant

Green teams features are too exclusive for me to consider red team basically ever. Freesync is nice (unarguably a better implemented solution than G-sync), but I use the streaming features of GeForce Experience weekly, and AMD doesn't have anything like that.

Vinceant

how would I sign in to both though?

I guess the first thing to try would be to use a driver cleaner to uninstall everything nvidia related and then reinstall that. What's that utility people use for such a thing? DD something I want to say.

Vinceant

Finally, some progress! Ok, so out of the case, new PSU, tests did nothing... on my current windows install. I was hesitant to try a fresh install just yet as I'm out of bandwidth until the 5th (soon my local electric coop will have unlimited internet with ftth... soon), but I just copied the GW2 da...

Vinceant

Try disconnecting almost everything non-essential. Disable onboard sound at the BIOS. Disable any other peripheral, onboard or not, that you do not absolutely need. Try connecting to the network via cable. Use a simple braindead keyboard and mouse. Record your frame times. Now tune the settings and...

Vinceant

Yup, that's a fine showing in LatencyMon. :-? Maybe reset the BIOS, touch as few settings as possible, and try again? Most of what's left would seem to be settings that shouldn't be relevant, and that you might habitually set while assuming that irrelevance. Even going through reset BIOS -> fresh O...

If you have a small hard drive lying around you should do a fresh win install plus the 1-2 games and see if that persists. You did carry over the previous install, I suppose?

I have tried this very experiment before to no avail.

It's a great suggestion normally thought!

Vinceant

While all of that is certainly true. Wouldn't you agree that I should at least be able to consistently hit 60 FPS while staring at a wall? Because I cannot even do that. Also, wiggling the mouse AT ALL will drop the FPS, even while staring at no players, and no NPC's, to 40s or lower. I don't mean r...

Vinceant

Sorry for the double post, but I tried LatencyMon... I don't see anything I don't expect to see topping this list. The DX graphics kernel tops the list of total execution by far. Then the latency monitor itself, which is no surprise. The next few are stuff like the kernel mode driver framework runti...

Vinceant

Only thing that remains is PSU, Case, and drives. well, since you've already changed everything else, these are the next to check. you can try switching to a different PSU and drive, while running the system outside of the case. this should test all three components. When I tried the fresh install ...

Vinceant

Have you tried 1080 instead of 1200? Maybe something in GW2s render engine isn't optimized for 16:10. Also, both games you mention are MMOs, which means a variable you can't control for is the number of other players in the zone. MMOs that otherwise have very modest performance requirements can get...

Vinceant

Any mods? For neither game. Though I did install a few about an hour ago for ESO, I have yet to boot the game up with them. Also, fresh windows install with a fresh game install has already been tried. Sorry if I'm being redundant but I didn't have time to look over the whole original thread... wha...

Vinceant

Ok, so awhile back I posted a thread here: https://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=119946&p=1359298#p1359298 I was having some strange GW2 performance issues. Seemed to be JUST that game, as all the benches indicated hardware was performing at specc or better. The only conclusion ...

Vinceant

I recently managed to grab a 1080 for MSRP (499) as an upgrade to my 980. I'd say if you can spend that, and resell the 980 for 200-250 it might be worth it. Nvidia are supposed to drop new cards at some point though, so you may want to wait.

Vinceant

Only other thing I can think to try at this point is to swap cards with the 780 my friend has for a day or so and see if that changes things. It would be nice to know if it's something the game doesn't like about my card, or my processor.

Vinceant

I mean, yes, that is true, but Ivy at 4.3 is no slouch in single threaded performance. Either way, it seems nobody knows why a setup like mine wouldn't get the performance of lesser hardware. As I said earlier, I suppose it's time to build a new core of a machine. Coffee lake and Ryzen offer very go...
