Is my GTX 260 worth running as PhysX dedicated or is it slower than letting the 700/800 do it's own thing? | ||

I've seen people say PhysX never worked quite right for them without a second card. They say it makes the games run perfectly smooth which wasn't possible for them on a single card. I have no first hand experiences about this as I always completely ignored PhysX, don't even install that part of the driver. The GTX 750 Ti is Maxwell like what will be in the 800 series cards. Someone reported that using it for compute like Folding@Home does not cause the desktop to run choppy any more. If that's true, NVIDIA might have solved some fundamental problem in Maxwell and that PhysX problem from the last paragraph would perhaps also be solved. | ||

You might just need an adapter for the power outlets. [It's by the way 230V in all of Europe nowadays, Britain was 240V and mainland was 220V in the past.] Ah, you know, you're totally right. Checked the details on the power bricks of my stuff and they are all good for 100-240V input ^^ Thanks! | ||

I have all the components installed, but the computer keeps on shutting down 8-9 seconds after turning on. What are the common causes of this problem? | ||

Maxwell, especially 20nm versions is supposed to have better perf/watt, the higher end cards will still probably target similar tdp like 200w for an 880, just higher performance at that power window I don't know much of PhysX but with a dedicated and significantly more powerful card, i have heard of higher FPS when using 1 card only as opposed to a weaker card to assist, IIRC | ||

How does it know that number? Is it just some sort of rough guess or does it actually know exact values for the charge? | ||

Battery charge and shutdown circuits are based on battery voltage from what I've seen (I'm not an expert at all on these or this area), so I'd think this would be the same. | ||

Bluray data discs are out there, but yeah mostly only used in bluray movies. Which, if you get a drive, be aware that Windows doesn't include the codecs to play bluray movies. You need additional software, and if you go the OEM route for a drive, it won't have it. (I can rip bluray movies no problems, but I can't play the discs directly in Win7.) | ||

Just had a genuine DOA board that wouldn't even attempt to turn on; power pins did nothing at all. Surprisingly, the PSU was fine. I'm now paranoid, so I want to rule out the same fault in the replacement board before doing anything else. | ||

I'm going to need to buy one for work. I don't like Apple much, so I was looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tab, for $400. Seems a little steep. I'd need something pretty decent, and while $400 isn't out of my budget, I'd like to see if I can get better for cheaper, but I'm completely clueless about the brands other than Apple and Samsung. I'm hoping that question fits in this thread, right? | ||

For Android, usually you need to hunt for a reason not to get a Nexus 7. e.g. need larger size, need S-Pen, need lower cost, etc. It's something of the de facto standard. But yeah, what does this work entail, how would you be using it, and what are you actually looking for? Size? etc. | ||

Problem is, a lot of these games are iOS only, so I guess there's no alternative there... Though the Nexus 7 looks quite nice for my needs, as far as Android-compatible games are concerned. I'd also use it for other stuff like browsing, perhaps reading or videos. | ||
