Thanks a lot for trying! I did find a sort-of-solution using a software called Lucidlogix's Virtu MVP that is compatible with my Z77 motherboard. It allows you to use the motherboard integrated video output and still use the video card performance while doing so, supposedly to save power...

Hi, tried everything you listed and still the same issue at all refresh rates and resolutions, same with the latest beta drivers, i even OCed the card to 1000mhz core 1250 memory and get the same. Is it possible to use my i7 integrated video to output to the monitor while still using the video...

Hi everyone, I recently got a MSI HD 7850 but I'm having one issue with it. My main monitor only has a single VGA input and no other inputs of any kind and I'm getting some pretty noticeable horizontal flickering white lines (like having a very low refresh rate on a CTR monitor). I have tried...

I had this issue with a HD 6850 and a HD5450 that i had on my HTPC. Without aero on i would get tearing and choppiness in Netflix HD video, XBMC and games. After trying a lot of setting changes i finally identified that keeping aero on fixed everything, I've updated my drivers many times since...

Thanks everyone, now I'm also looking at the 7790, but the product page says a 500w PSU is recommended so my current PSU falls short there, i've read of several people using the 7750 with my exact PSU. I may seem a bit compulsive about power consumption but I'm not in the states and where i am...

Thanks everyone. Because of the suggestions I've been reading reviews about the Radeon HD 7750 and i think ill go with that mostly because it is supposed to be even more power efficient than intels IGP on idle, that's a big plus for me because the htpc is always on. I can deal with 30-ish FPS...

Preferably less than 300. The card can be normal desktop profile tho.

I have a HTPC connected to my 1080p TV via HDMI and i'm looking for a video card to be able to play some games with a xbox 360 controller in steam big picture. The HTPC specs: i3 3220 (currently using integrated video, works great for emulators and media) P8H67-M Evo 8GB ram Antec EarthWatts...

Just a follow up for people that want to do this or something like this. I installed Plex Media Server along with my XBMC install and it does exactly what i wanted them to do, i can use XBMC at home and use Plex only to be able to stream my videos/movies/music to my phone or any PC with a...

Excellent, when i get home to my HTPC I'll get plex up and running. I'll give the Plex Media Client a try and see if i can find alternative addons to the ones I'm using in XBMC. If i end up not liking the client, from what you wrote and from what I've been reading, it seems like i can just run...

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking into plex right now and it looks pretty nice, but I've been using XBMC since i had an original modded Xbox years ago and now have all my addons and everything ready the way i like it. Can plex run headless, with no interface? Maybe i can use plex...

I have my HTPC running like a charm on XBMC (in windows 7) and now I'm trying to find a way to stream my media over the web so i have access to my movies/music in my Android phone (and/or a web interface) when traveling. Is there any program (for windows) that can stream and transcode media...

Glossy blue.

Ohh no, the biggest problem is that im not in the USA. I get charged incrementally more money per watt the more watts i use (first 100kw/h a month cost X, next 100kw/h cost Y, etc) and even the lowest tier is almost double what you probably pay in USA, after 400kw/h or so is about $0.28 usd...

I've tried several keyboards and remotes for my htpc and i haven't found anything that comes close to this combo: - Blackberry (trackpad, not touch) phone with Freemote over bluetooth/wifi. Can type almost as fast as i can in my computer, the trackpad is accurate and just painless to use. - PS3...
