Hardware

Hey folks, Now I have a laptop that was doing alright. Nothing too bad about my laptop. I have friends that have exactly the same laptop as mine, but theirs perfoms better than mine. So let's say we play Overwatch. If I get 60 fps, they both get 80. It's on every other game too! Like they both...

I'm incredibly interested in finally getting into VR, and have a PC that can handle it, no problem. Since the Vive Pro recently came out, though, I'm almost willing to bet other gen 2 hardware is not far behind, perhaps a Vive or Rift 2.0. I'd love to pick up a standard Vive right now, I'm not...

I am upgrading from a desktop to laptop. I do not really know what I am doing when it comes to hardware, so I thought I would post this. I will give my current desktop specs and then that one form that's pinned on this forum. CURRENT SPECS: Processor: Intel Core i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz (4 CPUs)...

I have a printer I want to use with a Keyboard Display Unit. The KDU documentation says my printer is compatible but "These models require a jumper change on the printer’s main logic board to provide 5v power for the KDU. A +5VDC power source at 750mA can be supplied on pin 9. This type of...

I'm using a Blue Snowball microphone but I have tried using other microphones and they have the same problem. When I try to use it normally then it doesn't record anything but I know that the hardware works because if I listen to the microphone then it records. I have it set as the standard...

Hi. I'm looking for a laptop that helps me edit photography on the go, but my budget is really tight. I've found two options for about 200€ each: Intel i3-3217-U @ 1.8GHz NVIDIA GT 740M (2GB VRAM) 8GB RAM 120GB SSD. Or: Intel i5-2520M @ 2.50GHz NVIDIA 410M (1GB VRAM) 8GB RAM 500GB HDD. Which...

I'm sorry if I'm misusing the word package. I have little experience in Python, and am still learning. So in my computer science class, we are using these robots called Finch to learn the very basics of robotics. So using the Finch package, we can make the robot do things with simple function...

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 connected up to my Mackie CR4's and I was wondering if there was a component I could add in the middle to control the bass and treble levels. Amplifiers like the Lepai LP-2020TI would have worked, but the Mackie's are powered and they have their own amplifiers. I...

I had this problem before and had to go back to 54.1 version. Now i updated the latest again to check how it goes. Whenever i enable the option to use the recommended playback video settings based on my hardware, which actually enables the hardware acceleration, my gpu will boost both core and...

So from what I understand, a driver basically tells an OS how to interface with some other hardware. So if a programmer wants to utilize that hardware in hes or her code, how would they do so? For example, if I have a fingerprint reader that came with a driver, how can someone write code that...

I was trying to fix my graphics card not being detected the other day and uninstalled the Graphics Card drivers. I've tried a bunch of things - installing the drivers from the website (throws an error that it can't detect the right hardware), and searching for hardware updates. I'm not sure what...

Hi there, I have a MXL 990 mic and a behringer UMC 22 sound card. Quality seems good enough but I need to know for even a better quality do I need to buy expensive pre-amp/sound card or I can get similar result with softwares like Audition? I forget to say I'm going to record vocal for a video...
