Yes you'd be able to do that for a 270x. U2312HM doesn't support daisy chaining so you will need to buy a MST hub. Alternatively if you are using a modern Intel system, you can run three displays off the R9 270x and two displays off the IGP.
Yeah i was thinking about IGP too, but just bought a Xeon without IGP a month ago. But to get a clear answer, i can't just buy a card with all the fitting connectors (2x DVI, 2x miniDP, 1x HDMI) and use them?
I'm just asking because the older generation cards (like the 560ti i have right now) have 3 connector but only support two displays at a time.
EDIT
Okay so i've read up on Eyefinity stuff and found out that i CAN use 2x DVI and 2x miniDP. The remaining HDMI output i would have to use an adapter for.

Yes you should be able to do that.
Not sure what you read but why would you need an adapter for HDMI? It's either going to work or it won't work. The new cards can support three displays natively via DVI DVI and HDMI.
|
Adapter as in MST hub as you already mentioned. Read that on the AMD Eyefinity page:
"The first two monitors can connect to the graphics card with any display output on your product: HDMI, VGA, DVI or DisplayPort.
The third (or greater) display must be connected to the graphics card via DisplayPort."
Guess i'll have to research on some maufacturers websites to find out about custom design cards.
|
Yes that page would be outdated. The new R9 200 series cards and GTX 700 series cards all are capable of three displays via HDMI DVI DVI.

Not entirely sure it is simple, but I will ask here anyway. My computer randomly shuts off and restarts. No warning, no crash log, no event in the reliability monitor, no obvious sign of doing something to shut it off. It seems to mostly happen overnight when I am not using it or when the computer is idle (can't remember it happening while playing a game). I can confirm it isnt a windows update or anything though because it just happened when I was writing something and I had paused to think of what to type next.
Is there any way to figure out what is happening? You see nothing in event viewer? Just checked again, I had only checked the reliability monitor which apparently doesn't update all the time. It now shows a "Windows was not properly shut down" error. Looking at the event viewer I see "Crash dump initialization failed!" for something called volmgr as the shutdown happened (or shortly after it happened). I also apparently get this error every 8 minutes "Unable to collect System Pagefile performance data. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the status code." from PerfOS So, the good news is that you apparently do have a BSOD, instead of the PC crashing without any explanation, but there's something going on with your page file. The Windows kernel can't create a record of the BSOD without the page file. Here's how to first create the page file, and second how to make sure the BSOD gets recorded: Page file settings: http://i.imgur.com/KIryBrY.png (at the top you select the drive it's on, you can manually create something very small, at least 16MB, or let the system take care of it which will be an 8GB file or something) Do this to get a record to investigate the BSOD: http://i.imgur.com/pZn2nHd.pngThose settings look very similar on Windows 7 and 8. After you get a BSOD, a program to investigate is called "BlueScreenView": http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.htmlBlueScreenView will highlight the kernel modules that were active when the BSOD happened. Those can be drivers if you are lucky. Type the file names into a web search to get a hint on what it's about.
Thanks for that. I forgot I disabled pagefile at recommendations by people due to SSD for my OS.
I have gotten 2 blue screens so far:

@TheRabidDeer:
In the lower pane of BlueScreenView's program window, see if it highlights some more file names beside those "monitor.sys" and "rdbss.sys". It might give you a hint about some driver (or its hardware) behaving badly.

Can anyone tell me if there is anything unusual about these traceroutes and pathpings?

I've been having problems with my internet for months. My latency in WoW keeps fluctuating. One second my abilities react instantly and the next they take 200 ms. Furthermore, sometimes my entire internet just halts - for some strange reason Skype keeps working fine, including voice, but the rest of my internet becomes extremely sluggish. Web pages loading so slowly that my browser reports closing tags missing (like </div>, etc), loading partly or not loading at all. WoW stops working except for the chat which still works fine (usually). This halting can last anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour and sometimes happens at exactly the same time as the day before. Resetting the router does not work, neither does changing router.
This is severely impacting my ability to enjoy games that rely on a constant, low latency. I'm going to call my ISP soon but if anyone of you can see something in the above tests that I should definitely report to my ISP I would be glad to know.

Hey guys. I have a problem with browsing teamliquid.
Whenever I open teamliquid in any browser my internet browser just freezes (both firefox and chrome.) Usually firefox gives a message about a script that doesn't work. I can't remember the exact name, but it is somthing with top banner, ad and the number 32. I am on my phone right now, but I can recreate it if necessary
It is ONLY on teamliquid btw. Thanks in advance.
Edit. What I mean with only on teamliquid is that I only have issues browsing teamliquid, any other website works fine

I get green or black screen when i watch bisu's stream.
Some days it works tho.
I tried today to watch bisu, didnt work.
I tried mongs stream, it worked.
I tried yesterday to watch SSL tournament stream, it didnt work. Green/black screen.
I have tried different solutions to this i found on google, doesnt fix it.
So i clicked by accident on bisudaggers stream(he were streaming the tournament SSL tournament), and it worked.
So solutions i have tried is
graphic driver updated
reinstall the flash player(newest version etc)
uncheck the box in adobe flash player(dont remember what the name is).
..Hmm all i can think of. Oh ye something in internet explorer..
yada yada yada
Anyone know what is wrong/how to fix?

Yes. You can't watch snipealot streams at source quality. Reduce it to hi/medium/low and you will be able to see Bisu!!! It happens to everyone. Enjoy!

Does a SSD help GPU (or CPU?) temperature a lot? With HDD I had ~38°C at Sc2 menue and it increased to ~65°C at Sc2 Lategame. Right now with my SSD, maximum is ~42°C. (AMD X6 T1055 & GeForce GTX460 1GB).

SSDs have nothing to do with temperature of the GPU or CPU. I guess it takes up less space and blocks less air but that's sort of negligible...

All those files mentioned seem to be Windows files. Perhaps something got corrupted after a crash in the past? Windows 7 and 8 both have a feature to check and fix corrupted Windows files. To access that, you open a command prompt window as Administrator and use this command:
sfc /scannow
If that does not find anything, it might be hardware or its drivers not working right. I don't know how to diagnose that best. Maybe you remember doing something that might be the cause? Did you play with BIOS settings or graphics driver settings for example?
Something you might want to look into is the "driver verifier" method that's built into Windows. You can find guides for that online. Using it is pretty involved. If there really are problems, you will experience a lot of BSODs. You might also not even be able to boot into Windows while the driver verifier stuff is enabled, so you can get somewhat trapped with a broken Windows. You really need to read a guide if you want to use the Windows driver verifier to diagnose your problems.

Same problem here. Started happening about 8 hours ago, since then TL.net has froze 3x (always on the main page) in Chrome.
The entire program is completely responsive except to commands to close either chrome entirely or commands to do anything on/with the broken TL.net tab. I have been generally just going about my business in the other tabs. However, the only way to fix the issue by terminating Chrome's task in the task manager.
I suspect a bad ad is at work or possibly a bad ad interaction. I use AdBlock for Chrome, but TL.net is whitelisted, so I always see ads on the front page. However, in all three cases where it has froze, the top (banner) ad has been blank (the rest of the page loads fine, but no elements are clickable).
I browse over 1000 websites daily (full-time student/work, both entirely online, so basically I live online), and this is the only site and instance I have ever encountered this specific error (page is structurally intact, all of the content is present, and it has basic functionality - i.e. scrolling, moving the tab, etc - but you can't interact with page elements).
I'm running with the developer console open now, so hopefully when it occurs again I will be able to catch the culprit in the act and report back.

I ran the scan and it found nothing wrong. I haven't played with bios settings or graphics stuff in ages. I have been having hardware issues (2 HDD's died at the same time) and speedfan takes ages to start for some reason as of late (havent timed it but probably 30 seconds or more), which could be an indicator of a motherboard issue?
Will otherwise look into the driver verifying thing
Thanks for the help so far.

+1 on the Driver Verifier method.
Windows basically throws out errors from drivers and other system-critical files if at all possible. A BSOD is what occurs when Windows can't handle what happened - if a driver does something weird and Windows does not understand how to recover from the error.
Driver Verifier is nice because it will cause a BSOD immediately even on a recoverable error. This is desirable because it is much more likely to catch the real culprit behind the BSOD - the one that began the chain of fatal errors rather than the thing that ended it.
Be warned somewhat though, like he suggested - just make 100% sure you know how to boot into Safe Mode with Networking so that you can remove the driver verifier parameters if anything goes wrong. For example, if you have an unsigned driver from an unknown source, running with driver verifier enabled can cause your computer to immediately BSOD when you boot into Windows normally. I had this happen to me with the driver for "Virtual Audio Cable", an old sound-duplication application/driver.

@TheRabidDeer:
I see the same delay for SpeedFan at Windows start-up. If I start SpeedFan while Windows is already running for a while, it starts a lot faster. I suspect while you are already able to do things on the desktop, some sort of Windows services that SpeedFan needs are still being launched in the background for a minute or two.

Does a SSD help GPU (or CPU?) temperature a lot? With HDD I had ~38°C at Sc2 menue and it increased to ~65°C at Sc2 Lategame. Right now with my SSD, maximum is ~42°C. (AMD X6 T1055 & GeForce GTX460 1GB).
I'd like to see a screenshot of your GPU temp maxing at 42 degrees in late game SC2.
