Yeah, I don't support piracy. That's why I have a copy of Max Payne 3 that I can't play because it wanted me to set up an account... which I did... then it told me I didn't have an account... ...uh, yeah, good going. I'm just glad I got it in a Steam sale, so at least I didn't waste a lot of money o... |

I manage to game quite adequately on a single 680 at 5760x1200. Just don't crank up the AA. |

Been using DisplayFusion for over a year now, and the addition of features like this (which is something nVidia should have added in drivers long ago) really make it worth the money.
...not that it wasn't already, of course. |

Using it in Dishonoured now. Aside from looking through keyholes constantly zooming in, it appears fine.
I've not really used the mask-zoom feature, will check it out and see if that exhibits 'zoom creep' too. |

Same thing.
It's on the monitor on the second GPU which does it - if I swap monitors around, whichever is on the second GPU on occasion, is vertically squashed. It's fixable, but slightly annoying. ;) |

I've been playing with GTX670 4GB SLI today, and with 306.97 drivers I have issues with the monitor on the second card squashing the output if transition between resolutions isn't 'proper' (eg: a game crashes). I'm wondering if the latest drivers have so interesting bugs... Haven't found a fix or wo... |

I thought that one of the DVI ports on the 680s was single-link, while one was dual. Although Anandtech says that both are dual-link, so I'm not sure where I read that. I believe the HDMI port is 1.4, and therefore should support 120Hz 1080p. An HDMI->DVI cable might be a fix... edit: Also, if you'r... |

Sounds like they nearly got it right. Now, if they could fix the network page so it's not half-missing, and perhaps even go back and have a quick look at the Borderlands 1 code to fix the horrible FOV/triplewide support there, that would be awesome. Since they've fixed it in 2, they must know where ... |

LED is the type of backlighting used - it used to be CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) but that has been mostly superceded by LEDs as they're less prone to dying, last longer and use less power. Don't generate as much heat, either. I didn't realise they made monitors specifically at those sizes -... |

The accessory display doesn't "go dark" with a fullscreen Surround application running, but you can't directly interact with it without Alt-Tabbing out of the game, as any fullscreen application forces mouse and keyboard focus to that application. You can still use it for RSS/IRC monitoring, system ... |

On a NAS, it's almost always going to be sustained transfer rate that you're interested in. A NAS box won't keep much in the cache if it's sensible, unless something is happening at the time. FreeNAS is its own OS. Based on FreeBSD. You install it to a USB memory stick (2GB+, IIRC) and boot from it ... |

NAS essentially means you're going to be using ethernet. Even if the various NAS boxes have eSATA or USB3... it's usually so you can plug in an extra drive, whether for NAS backups or for more space. Bear in mind too that not all NAS solutions are created equal. Some advertise gigabit speeds, etc, b... |
