    MSI Z370: Can similar motherboards share the same EFI file or tweaks required?

    Ive been wondering that as well. Havent found a DSDT and SSDT solution that works consistently though. I have my z370 installed and working pretty decent so far. I did use someone elses EFI and then i tweaked the Devices tab for my dedicated video card and added a boot flag for it. Thats it...

    boot0 Error: The Official Guide

    OK, so this morning after running my system pretty well for many years, my 10.10.x system wont boot and gets the boot0 error. It happened after I had a power outage (system stayed on because of a UPS I have, but lost network). Sometimes I cant recover dhcp without a reboot when their is a...

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for 10.10.1 (343.01.02)

    The 960 is working great now with all 3 monitors, but I have to enter "-f" each time I boot. Any ideas why that might be? Could it be related to it still trying to load radeon drivers for the old video card?

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for 10.10.1 (343.01.02)

    If it checks for the card to be installed, how can I even get to that point to install it when it wont boot with the card in the system even if I have my radeon card set as the primary (i have dual x16 slots).

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for 10.10.1 (343.01.02)

    If I currently have an Radeon card and will be moving to the NVIDIA GTX 960, should i handle that differently than simply installing the NVIDIA drivers and then shutting down and physically replacing the video card?

    Upgrade my 3 monitor 6870 video card setup

    This GTX 760 at $150 after promo code seems like a great deal http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487035

    NVIDIA launched "Maxwell" based GTX 960 graphics card in January 2015

    Why is this Card in the March build guide if it's not fully supported yet?

    Upgrade my 3 monitor 6870 video card setup

    Thanks Neil for the detailed response. I would think then that the 960 would be the best route to go then since its in the build guide multiple times, so I would think its support is quite good.

    Upgrade my 3 monitor 6870 video card setup

    Also, I noticed the March buying guide is all nvidia. Why no AMD cards?

    Upgrade my 3 monitor 6870 video card setup

    Thanks for the reply. Why a 280x over a 290?

    Gaming sound card?

    That's not a gaming sound card with any actual hardware processing. Would be worse quality than my onboard card.

    Gaming sound card?

    I have an older SandyBridge 2500k based yosemite system that works great, but when i reboot into windows to game, the onboard sound isnt anything special to write home about. I know I could use a second sound card for windows, but Id really like to simplify things and have a single sound card...

    Upgrade my 3 monitor 6870 video card setup

    I have an older SandyBridge 2500k system with a triple monitor setup powered by a 6870 1GB video card. I want to upgrade it to about a $200 video card. Im thinking about the AMD R9 290 with 4GB ram for about $230 refurbished or a newer Nvidia GTX 960OC 2GB for about $200. Im more partial to AMD...

    have to select audio output device after ever boot

    Every time I reboot my 10.9.2 system that uses the 889 driver, i have to go into preferences, then sound, and select "internal speakers" as my output devices. This didnt start happening until 10.9. Its as if no device is selected by default. Its not huge deal as everything works after i do that...

    Attention SandyBridge users... New Lnx2Mac RTL81xx available

    These drivers make no difference to me on my 10.8.2 system, but to be honest, I dont even see that they were used after I rebooted. My regular nics drivers work fine except for when i try to use bridge mode in vmware fusion and i completely lose network access in OSX (except the for the VM) and...
