    Vulkan Will Support Multiple GPUs Only in Windows 10

    The WDDM driver model before 2.0 was single threaded, and re-written in 2.0 to be support multiple threads as part of DirectX 12. As such, Windows operating systems that don't support WDDM 2.0, can't support the multi-threaded model of DirectX 12. In the same way any graphics api that uses the...

    Why 80 PLUS® is Irrelevant to You When Buying a PSU @ [H]

    While the thought of companies gaming the system is quite deplorable, the article while correct on the points it touches on doesn't address non-80plus psu's. OK, so 80 plus is a sham, ignore it. So now HardOCP has suggested to consumers to go out and buy a PSU regardless of conversion efficency...

    Best Net Neutrality Explanation Ever

    The page is misleading, it can make the argument that the content providers get to use the service for free, which they don't because they pay for bandwidth too.

    Inexpensive DVI-DP for Eyefinity soon available says AMD

    I bought a dell one back around January/February, worked great on my 19" monitor at it's max resolution but when I bought a 24" it would flicker like mad doing 1080p. After trying a puported active dp to hdmi, I finally settled on the dp to vga (or as most monitors have labeled these days...

    Buyer Beware: Misleading HDMI Cable Labels

    Along with a bunch of others who have said so: not all cables are the same. That being said so long as they meet the spec, there is no good reason why one should be $10 and others $100. As far as I understand it, the cable specification for HDMI has not changed since the start, so your cheap...

    GameStop Selling Download Codes At Retail?

    To point out the blatantly obvious, why do places sell game time cards for various mmo's? points for XBL? points for PSN? Because some people do not have credit cards. This is just more of the same.

    New Windows Home Server “Vail” Preview Build

    You "can" use RAID with WHS, however WHS duplication is generally more flexible and is available on all setups and not just on computers with RAID. There are some who have run WHS with RAID duplication turned off, but it is a untested configuration. Personally I'm happy running WHS with six...

    It's there. Bring up the CCC Top left, Graphics -> Desktops and displays Bottom bar (where it shows the monitor(s), not the middle area where it shows the screens). The black down arrow -> configure -> scaling options. If there is an easier way to get there, I don't know.

    Impact of FTC Versus Intel Overblown

    Given all the flack MS has had over the last number of years, and IBM before that, things don't look good for Intel. While AMD is a decent competitor, they have in no way enough of the market to really be considered a competitor.
