I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5-TH Z77 Motherboard and GIGABYTE GTX 770 Video Card. Tried to update to Yosemite following all instructions, fail again and again on "system uptime...". Finally figured out the problem: I had also installed an HP NC360T dual gigabit ethernet board. Using AppleIntel...

Downloaded Unibeast 5.0.2. but when it unzips, version number is 5.0.1. Is this supposed to be the case?

I wish they would add Amazon Prime

I left the machine on over the weekend, came in this morning and no more flickering. Weird. I'm going to try another DP cable just in case, apparently some are not really certified for DP 1.2, but mine (gold plated "Cable Matters" 10 feet long) said it was. On a related note, many users who...

Yes, see my posts here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/articles/132459-article-os-x-10-9-3-update-4.html#post810947 and here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/articles/132459-article-os-x-10-9-3-update-24.html#post812273 Strange that Apple doesn't mention the Samsung monitor, which is the least...

Article: OS X 10.9.3 Update Here is a screen shot of Display Menu. Not sure if a screen shot, or even a photo, would convey the increase in sharpness though. The dark text on white boxes are all "pixel doubled" modes. I had no problems with my setup, but I have only one monitor. I have...

Woo-hoo! OS X 10.9.3 has turned my Samsung U28D590 into a retina display! On the down side, I'm getting some occasional flickering at that res, but I can live with that. I'm using the app store "Display Menu", which I recommend to anyone wanting to experiment with different resolutions...

Woo-hoo! OS X 10.9.3 is out now, and it's turned my Samsung U28D590 into a retina display! On the down side, I'm getting some occasional flickering at that res, but I can live with that. I'm using the app store "Display Menu", which I recommend to anyone wanting to experiment with...

This is my kernel flags: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v darkwake=0 GraphicsEnabler=No</string> I have a GTX 770 in Gigabyte board Z77 board, works great. One thing I had to do was change the video card from "Auto" to "Gen3" in the BIOS. I forgot where that is located but it took 2-3...

I haven't got an install of Windows on my rig (I use Parallels occasionally). The graphics card is a 4GB GTX 770, I would think that would be pretty beefy, but maybe not. I have read elsewhere that full "retina display" (pixel doubled) support is coming with Mavericks 10.9.3, so I guess I'll...

I'm interested in trying out a 4K monitor. I can't figure why the huge difference in price between the Samsung 28-Inch Ultra High Definition LED Monitor (U28D590D) for $700, and the 32-Inch $3200 Sharp PN-K321. They are both 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. The Sharp has 2 display ports and one HDMI, the...

I just had a look at the manual and it appears that they eliminated the IEEE 1394a connector (firewire) that is on my Z77 board. Anyway, you can use a PCIe card. I can't find any recommendations on RME's site, but there is some info here...

This is an 1150 socket board. 49xx series are 2011 socket, so not supported on this board. Looks like thunderbolt support for this board is still in question. That may be actually because TB 2.0 uses a different addressing scheme, so some devices may not be compatible or require firmware...

The Z87 is a Haswell (1150 socket) board and so I could use the faster 4770K CPU. Also it supports 6 x 6g SATA, my Z77 board only has 2 x 6g SATA channels. Also it supports faster RAM, up to 3000 mhz I think. So it would be a very nice upgrade. Gigabyte also sells an 1150 socket board with TB...
