    I think i'm going to experiment with Shadowplay today aswell.

    Is Shadowplay exclusive to people that own NVIDIA? Specifically, new pieces of hardware?

    I'd like to test it out myself, but google isn't turning up much for me.

    It is Nvidia only since it uses the built in hardware H.264 video encoder found in GTX 650 and higher cards. That's kind of the point since you're able to use the gpu for the encoding making the impact on performance minimal.

    Hm, so i bought my mom a Note 10.1 (2014). However, i'm having issues with video playback. Lots of codecs (video and audio) are not recognized. I'm not really a buff on apps, what app is great for audio/video codecs? Or maybe a different player.

    Maybe try MX Player, it might have you install a different codec for it, it should tell you if you need to install anything separate.

    There is a VLC player app for Android that will play just about anything.

    Nice, this works

    Ever since the GTX 780 launched, I've been annoyed by the throttling of my GTX 680 and, well, any Boost 1.0 card. It's stupid. I will have to hack the firmware now.

    Are you referring to the 1202mhz brickwall?

  10. #5190
    Well! More that it doesn't keep a steady boost, it's all over the place. I have reached 1202, of c, but no further.
    I hacked a friends' to get it to change his card to have Boost 2.0 limitations instead. Ran much better that way.

    Hm, and what you think changed this? I've not seen my 670 act any different.

  12. #5192
    Changed when?

    Oh, you don't mean that your particular 680 is acting up, you mean Boost 1.0 in general? I misunderstood you there.
    Well, the only issue with mine is that it has a wall at 1202 baseclock. Any mhz over this value and it just wont run.

  14. #5194
    Yea, it wasn't really an issue to me before Boost 2.0, because hey, boost is a boost. But considering that the cards have Boost 2.0 availible to them if you just poke around a bit has me a bit frowny-faced.

    I'm on a reference cooler, so mine plateaus at 1202 turbo, no matter the core clock.

    Which monitor if I may ask?

    Well yeah but isnt that, plus the 7ghz memory bump, the only distinct difference between the 680 and 770?

    As in "buy one please"- nvidia

    Yeah, that's what I intend, and what I did to my friends' card. Although a bit of a misnomer since you still can't SLI it with one.

    That and the lower price and better efficiency.

    Oh well =)

    Reading this made me just realize that when powering on my computer, I no longer see my gpu bios flash by before moving on to the system bios. My gtx460 used to would show a screen of the year, make, and model. Was sort of annoying since it added more time to wait for the OS to load up.

    That's honestly the first time I've heard of a GPU having it's own screen splash upon boot.

    Imagine if every component had that. It'd feel like starting up a game for the first time and frantically spamming esc/enter to skip past all the splash intros only to find out THEY'RE UNSKIPPABLE GOD FUCKING DAMMIT :O

    My 9800GTX used to do that.
