Recently, I have been seeing this ghosting or blurring effect in my monitor only when I am connected to the VGA port.
Anything connected to the DVI seems to be Ok. Now, I cannot narrow it down to whether it is a problem with my on-board GFX card or VGA port of my monitor?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

The project racked in an amazing $1,442,312 on a very moderate $70,000 goal. That is some dedication from fans, eh?

Watch Star Trek into Darkness Online Palladium Books wanted to bring the Robotech tabletop experience into the new generation of role-playing, featuring some of the most highly detailed miniature gaming pieces available for the fast-paced RPG experience. Even though majority of gaming these days is focused on the electronic digital entertainment and interactive media experience, I think a well crafted tabletop game with fleshed out rules and a decent story book to accompany the game can still make waves in the industry. Based on that awesome Kickstarter video complete with that old 1980s footage of the Robotech cartoon, I can easily see why the Kickstarter easily surpassed its goal and then went on to kick butt, take names and then rack up more than $1 million in crowd-sourced funding.

Watch Pain And Gain Online As showcased in the video, many of the classic pieces and units made famous throughout Palladium's rich history of the series have been modeled in real-life plastic replicas, giving tabletop gamers a nice cache of some of their favorite Robotech mechs to pilot in the form of a tabletop RPG. It’s not just about shooting humans in Aeria Games’ upcoming tactical combat game, Soldier Front 2. When you’re ready for something a little extra (extraterrestrial, that is), then you’ll be able to jump into several new modes that let you pump lead into hordes of aliens, too. Hooray green blood!

Watch G I Joe Retaliation Online Soldier Front 2, like its predecessor, will be a free-to-play online game that mixes tactical combat with FPS action. While the core game will boast a more realistic look at modern warfare, the game will also boast modes that feature alien enemies, as well as the chance to don the skin of an alien yourself. For starters, Hero Mode will pit players against each other in a MOBA-style game where two teams will battle to overtake the other’s base. This is done by controlling constantly spawning alien troops and using your tactical prowess to out-think the opposition.

Watch The Hangover 3 Online If a more direct approach to combat is your cup-o-tea, then perhaps you will enjoy the co-op Defense mode, which sees four players taking on the role of soldiers in an effort to wipe out wave after wave of alien baddies. There’s also a Manhunt mode, which lets one team of humans take on one team of aliens. Those siding with the E.T.s will have three classes to choose from, including the sneaky melee-heavy Rippers, the quick and explosive Stunners and the projectile-lobbing Libertines.

Whether or not you’re a fan of the movie, it’s hard to speak ill of a game like The Warriors. It’s not often that a quality game based on a quality movie hits consoles, much less a game based on a movie that’s several decades old. But Rockstar did the dang-near impossible with the PlayStation 2 game, The Warriors, crafting an experience that stays true to the spirit of the film while simultaneously proving to be one of the best games of last generation.

I have been using a Zoom 5350 cable modem/router combo (http://www.zoomtel.com/products/5350.html) with my Charter internet connection for more than a year now. I did not have any issues with it for the first 4-6 months. But after that I keep having connection issues. The unit keeps dropping both wired and wireless connections. Unplugging and plugging in the Ethernet cable resolves the issue for the wired connection. Sometime I need to reset the modem. These problems used to happen every few weeks before but now they happen a few times everyday. These happen mostly when I stream videos from YouTube or Twitch or sometimes when I FTP files to my Xbox. A few times it happened while I was playing DotA 2 when everything else was turned off. Not sure if those could be the reasons.

I reached Zoom technical support, they could not help much except offer to replace it. Zoom sent me a new unit but I have the same problems with it. A Charter technician checked my line a few days ago and found no problems with it. The signal for my connection has been boosted from Charter a few times already. I used a Charter modem for one week, and during that time this connection issues happened twice. I have seen people having similar issues with gateways in general, some have suggested deactivating IP flood detection but I have disabled it from day one.

When I drop connection, all the lights in the modem light up correctly. So I think it could be a problem with router side of my unit since the modem part is apparently working. The signal levels of the modem are not the same as what I get using the Charter modem but they are acceptable.

Below are some screenshots from the modem settings page











Any ideas as what could be the problem?

Microsoft is set to hire several thousand new employees in China during the next year, as part of the company's expanded support of new cloud computing services running Azure and smartphones running Windows Phone.

Microsoft is looking to expand its workforce in China, which currently has 4,000 employees, to add several thousand more (no exact number of employees was mentioned). Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer revealed this expansion during a press conference in Shanghai China. "l visited China last about one year ago in May and it is remarkable to me how much has changed. At Microsoft this is an incredibly exciting time," Ballmer stated.

According to Ballmer, China has been one of the fastest growing markets for the company's Windows Phone platform. On top of that, Microsoft is planning on launching a public preview of Windows Azure in China beginning next month. This marks the first multi-national organization to offer cloud computing in the region. Microsoft is looking to bring its Azure cloud platform to a region where software-on-desktop demand has dropped.

Azure makes it easy to store business information and programs on remote servers, ultimately allowing customers to access this data via the internet. Customers can run corporate programs, websites, and apps from Microsoft's data centers and not have to worry about playing for server storage and all the work involved in its upkeep.

Hilarious. EA’s chief technology officer, Rajat Taneja, claimed that Xbox One and PS4 are a generation ahead of the highest-end PCs currently available on the market. We all know that EA wants to simply promote next-gen consoles at this point, however we are a bit surprised – pleasantly – by both Brian Fargo and Epic Games’ Mark Rein who called bullshit on those claims.

When Brian Fargo read Develop-Online’s article about those claims, he was shocked with what the hell EA’s chief tech officer was talking about.

The only thing Fargo said after reading it was a simple ‘No way…’
Epic Games’ Mark Rein replied, stating that he has already called bullshit on that.
Mark Rein provided further details about this claim, stating that the performance levels of the next-gen consoles are not as good as those of current high-end PCs.

“They are ‘architecturally’ more advanced but performance levels aren’t as good.”
Game designer ‘TheKevinDent’ has also joined the conversation, stating that PCs are more powerful than next-gen consoles.

“performance wise they are not in the same universe.”

After taking a closer look at the specs of both Xbox One and PS4, it’s pretty obvious that high-end PCs are way better than them. Not only that, but when those consoles launch, new graphics cards (and CPUs) will be available to the market.

Naturally, we’ll have to wait until the first next-gen games hit platforms in order to find out whether EA or the aforementioned developers are right on this matter.

samsung odd.
This rig is yet to buy. In future if i buy gpu i will upgrade the psu to a branded one.
1. Can the stock psu run this rig flawlessly(means while running some game with intel hd graphics)?
2.is the bk processor is good enough or i should buy the boxed one?
Guys your help is really needed as i am going to buy this rig tomorow or the day after tomorow.

My connection requires name and password, I configured everything correctly but i doesn't connect. I called Mazedabd but the guy doesn't even know what a xbox 360 is, I will call the engineer tomorrow to see whether he has some knowledge on this.

I have a router, by which I can play Ps vita and PC games online very well but I don't know the wired setting. If eventually I fail to connect through wire, how much does a WIFI receiver for xbox cost?

Introducing The GeForce GTX 780




By Andrew Burnes on Thu, May 23 2013 Featured Stories, HardwareIn March 2012 the GeForce GTX 680 revolutionized GPU design, introducing countless new software, hardware, and architectural innovations that drew universal praise. Enabling this revolution was Kepler, our new GPU architecture that reduced power usage by 49 Watts when compared to the previous-generation GeForce GTX 580. This unprecedented improvement in efficiency had a second, significant benefit, in that it dramatically reduced heat output. Combined with a new and improved heatsink and fan, temperatures were reduced so considerably that performance could be ramped up by a massive 35%.
Contributing to this sizeable improvement in performance was GPU Boost, a new Kepler-exclusive feature that maximized frame rates in each and every game. Before GPU Boost, performance and power usage had to be capped to prevent overly-demanding synthetic benchmarks from damaging graphics cards. With GPU Boost, this problem was solved by continuously monitoring and adjusting clock speeds and GPU voltages, allowing GPUs to use every last ounce of performance in all applications and games, without exceeding safety or comfort limits.
In February 2013, we introduced the world to the GeForce GTX TITAN, a supercomputer-class GPU utilizing the latest iteration of Kepler, called GK110. Loaded with a brand new cooling system, an exciting new look, and a new, more effective version of GPU Boost, the GTX TITAN broke every record, claimed every crown, and wowed the world with its computational prowess.
Today, we’re unveiling the GeForce GTX 780, a new best-in-class enthusiast gaming graphics card. Available now from all e-tailers and retailers at a recommended retail price of $649, the GK110-powered GeForce GTX 780 features the same desirable styling as the GeForce GTX TITAN, has 50% more memory and 50% more CUDA Cores than the GeForce GTX 680, and is on average 35% faster than its predecessor.

GeForce GTX 780 Performance

Making great use of its increased memory bandwidth, extra CUDA Cores, and faster, more efficient GK110 Kepler GPU, the GeForce GTX 780 is on average 35% faster than its predecessor at 1920x1080. However, as our benchmarks show, performance increases by up to 51% at 1920x1080 and 2560x1600.
At 1920x1080, the GTX 780 handled the newly-released, performance-intensive Metro: Last Light with ease, hitting a speedy 54 frames per second in the game’s demanding benchmark, with Tessellation and PhysX enabled. Compared to the GTX 680, the GTX 780 was 25% faster, and in the equally-demandingBattlefield 3 it was 35% faster.
At 2650x1600, GK110’s architectural improvements shine, enabling the GTX 780 to run 36% faster in Battlefield 3, 29% faster in Crysis 3, and 22% faster in Metro: Last Light.
GeForce GTX 780 SLI Performance

In SLI multi-GPU configurations, the GTX 780 is equally strong, improving frame rates by up to 93% when compared to single-GPU performance.
In Metro: Last Light, SLI increased frame rates by 83%, allowing for the use of 2x Supersampling Anti-Aliasing at 2560x1600, with every other setting enabled and maxed out. At an effective resolution of 3584x2240, Metro: Last Light delights with detail not exposed at lower resolutions, as shown by our interactive comparison below.

To learn more about Metro: Last Light and the technology powering its jaw-dropping visuals, check out our Metro: Last Light Graphics & Performance Guide.Further enhancing the SLI experience is our latest multi-GPU frame metering technology, which minimizes stuttering and other multi-GPU issues that have discussed at length on hardware sites in recent weeks. With our SLI evaluation tool, called FCAT, we’ve been able to fine-tune SLI, ensuring that our GK110 Kepler GPUs offer the best multi-GPU experience to date.
Next-Generation Construction

The new GeForce GTX 780 uses the same advanced design as the GeForce GTX TITAN. This isn’t just for show; our new-generation design allows the GTX 780 to run cooler and quieter than its predecessor, even at higher speeds, while adding 50% more memory and 50% more CUDA Cores.
On the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), on which all components are placed, we introduced an aluminum baseplate to help transfer heat away from the GPU and other board components, and on GPU itself we’ve applied a new thermal interface material from renowned Japanese firm Shin-Etsu. Twice as effective as the thermal grease applied to GTX 680 GPUs, this seemingly small change allows us to push the GTX 780 harder and faster, and to reduce fan speeds when idle.
To collect the heat emitted by the GPU and VRAM, a high-performance copper vapor chamber has been placed in contact with the GPU. Like the GTX TITAN’s vapor chamber, its process of controlled evaporation cools the card faster and to a better degree than any conventional heatsink and heatpipe combo. This vapor-chambered heat is then dissipated by a large, dual-slot aluminum heatsink that’s equipped with an extended fin stack that covers the entire area occupied by the GPU and VRAM; not just the area above the vapor chamber as on previous GeForce GTX graphics cards. This increases the cooling area and overall performance of the cooling system by a significant degree.
Finally, to remove the collected and dissipated heat, a rear-mounted fan constructed from an acoustic-dampening material blows it out through the exhaust at the rear of the computer’s chassis, and away from the card’s components.
The GTX 780’s stunning exterior is comprised of cast aluminum, which dissipates heat more effectively than plastic. The fan, meanwhile, is surrounded by an injection-molded material that dissipates heat and reduces fan noise, and a clear polycarbonate window allows owners to monitor dust buildup in the nickel-plated heatsink fins.
On the exterior edge, the GeForce GTX logo is illuminated by LEDs. Using third-party tools, their intensity can be manually adjusted, or be set to brighten and dim automatically with the level of GPU utilization, adding a neat effect to windowed cases.
Together, these features and changes make the GeForce GTX 780 considerably quieter, and cooler than previous-generation GPUs, like the GeForce GTX 680.
On the software side, the GTX 780 packs-in a new adaptive temperature controller, reducing noise by keeping the GPU's fan speed at a more consistent level. Previously, GPU fans would reduce to a minimum speed when GPU usage and temperatures were sufficiently low. As temperatures raised once more, fans would noisily kick into high gear to bring temperatures back down. In contrast, the GTX 780's fan software minimizes the number of noticeable fan speed changes, making the user experience far more pleasant.

Our new adaptive temperature controls minimize fan speed fluctuations, making for a quieter, more pleasant user-experience.GPU Boost 2.0: Temperature’s The Limit

In the days of the GeForce GTX 580, GPU speed was held back by synthetic benchmarks that pushed power usage to the limit, far beyond the levels typically seen when playing games. This ‘worst case scenario’ forced us to throttle speeds, leaving spare performance on the table. With the introduction of Kepler in 2012, a new hardware-software feature called GPU Boost solved the problem by continuously monitoring power usage, enabling GPUs to use every last ounce of performance without exceeding safety or comfort limits.
With GPU Boost, every application and game runs at a guaranteed, minimum Base Clock speed. If there’s extra power available a Boost Clock is enabled, increasing clock speeds until the graphics card hits its predetermined Power Target (170 Watts on the GTX 680, for example). This dynamic clock speed adjustment is controlled by GPU Boost 1.0, which monitors a whole slew of data and makes real-time changes to speeds and voltages several times per second, maximizing performance in each and every application.

GPU Boost 1.0 enabled GPU owners to direct all available power to game performance for the very first time.Having acquired data from hundreds of thousands of end-users in the year following the GTX 680’s release, NVIDIA’s engineers determined that GPU temperature was in fact a more common inhibitor to performance than power consumption. Subsequently, they developed GPU Boost 2.0 for GK110 Kepler GPUs, which increases the Boost Clock until the GPU hits a predetermined Temperature Target (80C on the GTX TITAN and GTX 780).

GPU Boost 2.0 increases performance to an even greater extent, compared to GPU Boost 1.0.GPU Boost 2.0’s other major advancement is the introduction of full user-control. Now, GTX TITAN and GTX 780 owners can tweak the Boost behavior by increasing or decreasing the Temperature Target via third-party software, like EVGA Precision X. This enables users to manually change the Temperature Target, limiting or maximizing performance.
Combined with a watercooling setup that keeps temperatures low at all times, this feature is particularly powerful, allowing GPU Boost 2.0 to wring every last drop of performance out of the GPU.

Temperature Target places performance controls back in the hands of users.Overvolting: Extra Overclocking For The Brave

GeForce GTX 780 owners who wish to push their cards to the limit will enjoy the new GPU Boost 2.0 controls discussed above, but for the most enthusiastic end-user we have one final addition of note: overvolting controls. Accessible through aforementioned third-party applications, overvolting allows users to push GPU usage beyond safe limits, increasing performance yet further.

Overvolting can increase performance by a substantial degree, if you're willing to use it.Please be aware that overvolting may void the graphics card’s warranty, and that continued overvolting may cause the GPU’s silicon to degrade at an advanced rate, ultimately causing the GPU to die a premature death through electromigration. As such, we don’t recommend the use of overvolting, but at the same time we don’t wish to put artificial limitations on products you pay for.
Display Overclocking: Unleashing Your Monitor’s Potential

Many PC gamers play with VSync enabled to avoid unsightly image tearing that occurs when the frame rate is higher than the monitor’s refresh rate. Most monitors are locked to 60Hz, limiting the max VSync frame rate to 60 frames per second. Thing is, 60Hz is a hang-up from the olden days of cathode ray tube technology, but we stick with it, simply because.
Unhappy with this stall in technological advancement, our engineers looked inside today’s LCD and LED-backlit screens, and discovered that many support higher refresh rates. For that reason, we’ve developed Display Overclocking, which allows GeForce GTX 780 owners to quickly and easily overclock their refresh rates via the same third-party tools that control GPU Boost 2.0. And of course, Display Overclocking works with Adaptive VSync too, allowing games to be played at 80Hz or more on a “60Hz” screen, without tearing, and without the stuttering associated with normal VSync.

Display Overclocking works on faster 120Hz and 144Hz displays, too.GeForce Experience: The Easiest Way To Optimize Your Games

GeForce Experience is NVIDIA's new application that can automatically keep GPU drivers up to date, and can optimize game settings with a single click, simplifying the process of getting the most from your PC, and your games. Great for those who want to spend time gaming, not tweaking, GeForce Experience recommends the best possible settings for your specific system configuration, allowing you to jump straight into a game without having to change options, drag sliders, or pick between one of eight similarly-named settings in an acronym-laced dropdown.

GeForce Experience’s recommended game settings are based on the speed of your CPU and GPU, and are designed to keep you gaming at a fluid frame rate even in the most demanding, action-packed moments of a game.Today, we’re launching GeForce Experience 1.5 as part of the GeForce 320.18 WHQL driver, which includes full support for the GTX 780. v1.5 supports over 70 of the most popular English and Chinese titles, improves support for multiple system configurations and resolutions, and can tell you whether your system supports NVIDIA Shield PC game streaming.
GeForce Experience can simplify your life, too, notifying you of new driver releases and downloading them automatically should you so desire. This feature can also automatically download GeForce Experience support for entirely new titles, as well as new SLI and 3D Vision profiles, ensuring you receive the optimum experience whenever you load up a game.
To get started with GeForce Experience, download the new 320.18 WHQL drivers, or the standalone GeForce Experience installer.
ShadowPlay: A Revolution In Game Capture, Coming Soon To GeForce Experience

Capturing footage from your favorite games can reduce frame rates quite considerably at native resolutions, in addition to reducing level and texture load speeds if capturing to the hard drive holding the game. Furthermore, some apps record using uncompressed formats, filling your drive with gigabytes of data.
If you own a GeForce GTX 600 or 700 Series GPU, you’ll soon have a new option for creating high-quality captures, courtesy of an upcoming GeForce Experience module we’re calling ShadowPlay. Completely free to use, ShadowPlay leverages the H.264 encoder built into Kepler graphics cards to record max quality, native resolution gameplay footage that is compressed and encoded on the fly, before being automatically saved as a YouTube-friendly .mp4.

ShadowPlay promises to revolutionize game footage capture by leveraging the high-speed, integrated Kepler encoder that also powers NVIDIA Shield PC game streaming. And because it's a dedicated hardware encoder, you'll be able to capture gameplay footage continuously without tanking your framerate.In addition to traditional game capture, ShadowPlay users can activate Shadow mode, which continually records and saves the latest action to a user-definable buffer. If you pull off an outrageous mid-air maneuver in Battlefield 3, simply hit a predefined hotkey and your moment of glory is instantly saved to a .mp4, ready for publication on YouTube.
Perfect for the majority of gamers who don’t require a capture of every single second of action, ShadowPlay’s innovative new mode ensures you never again say, “I wish you could have seen that!” With ShadowPlay enabled, every special moment can be captured and quickly shared, demonstrating your pro-gaming skills to your best friends.
