Support & Help / Green Screen Google Chrome
« on: July 03, 2015, 09:55:09 PM »
For a month or so I have been getting intermittent green screens when using any video player in Google Chrome. Youtube, facebook, random sites etc. I can hear the audio but all I see is green within the video players boarder.

My GPU drivers are up to date. I have looked up solutions but i haven't yet found anything that will work and most of the advice is out of date for Youtube videos. I don't want to have to change browser again because I like Chromes' 60fps Youtube ability.

Now that I think about it, my display driver will sometimes crash if I try to view a video on my computer. Or in other circumstances I can see a black screen with only audio playing. Is my piece of shit, less than 2 years old R9 270x finally deciding that it is in fact a massive, steaming pile of overpriced, useless shit that should never have been made because it is a truly terrible fucking god awful, shitty, cancerous piece of filthy shit? :)

Halp plz.

Don't listen to these Nvidia fanboys

With the R9 300 series cards coming out, they'll use the GTX cards as a mop. Take it from somebody who owns/uses a Nvidia card. AMD does lack on the CPU side when it comes to high end stuff, but as far as GPU's go, there's no reason to not go with AMD. Don't let their superior marketing strategies and fanboyism fool you, look at the benchmarks yourself to see through the lies.


EXAMPLE:


The Titan X costs 1050$ and the Fury X is going to cost 650$ (It comes out this/next week) and the Fury X has 1.6 Tflops OVER the Titan X.


The 750Ti costs ~150$ and the 270x costs ~150$, and yet the 270x wipes the floor with the 750Ti when it comes down to the benchmarks.


The 280x and 960 both cost a little over 200$, and yet the 280x is simply a better card when it comes down to it.



Side note: If you don't want to support anti-competitive business practices that Nvidia partakes in, then I'd also recommend AMD.
I own an R9 270x. It gets incredibly hot and can barely run GTA5 on Normal settings with lower than 1920x1080. When I got it I was so ready to play Far Cry 3. "Sorry mate, mediocre/low settings for you" - said the game. I also have an AMD A-10 6800K CPU. I've used AMD in every PC I have owned and I am very ready to switch to Intel because I have been disappointed with every single AMD product I have owned. I literally don't remember ever buying an AMD build that I was pleased with. Maybe that's just my stupidly high standards? I dunno. But what I do know, with the hefty burden of hindsight, is; if you have the expendable money, buy the best. And Intel, from everything I have read and seen, is still way in front.

At the end of the day it's your money and these are just opinions. We all have bias towards one thing or another so try and make an informed opinion. Look on tech forums, compare stats. Do your research because it will determine whether you are happy with your purchase for the next 2 to 3 years. Or it will determine whether you feel like you've wasted your money on low budget cheapo shite and just wanna sell it and start again ^_^

I forgot where you live, but if you have a Microcenter near you definitely go there. They have prices that are equal if not lower than Amazon, and have everything you can imagine.

Also, what Adam suggested is good and future proof(Especially if you go with the 970. I'm going to be selling mine that's a few months old if you want to talk). 8gb RAM is definitely enough, but with how cheap it is and if you have the money you may as well go for the 16gb.

Never heard of that, so probably not.  I live in western Oregon, FYI.

Also, I'm not going to go cheap, but with as high as I'm having to push my budget (if it even still exists even more), I'm not sure if it's worth the added expense.
Go for the 16gb. Just do it!

Go for Intel chips. AMD are still a ways behind. And don't cheap yourself out. If you have the money to spend on a good rig, spend it. Last thing you wanna do is regret not spending more and knowing you could have done better.

Depends on how I'm sitting at my desk. Like now, my posture is more upright so I use a fingertip style. If I'm more leaned back in my chair I use the palm.

Make sure you remove any chemicals that might be deep inside the metal. I had the engine resprayed on my motorbike and the guy had to remove two coats and it's still fucked. When I next get the engine off I might just remove all of the paint and just put a metallic protective coat on.

How long do you think this project will take you?

I've had to produce a few tracks for uni and like to share it with you knobs ^_^
Trying to get as many plays as possible before I have to present it to some 'industry professionals' in the morrow.

Cheers.

What's the fuel mileage like on one of those things?
The LS6 or the current engine I have?  The stock 350 or the LS6?
Both I guess. Tis a big truck
It's not that big of a vehicle... It's smaller than a new Dodge Charger. 

The 350 that it has gets about 20-25.  17 city, 25 highway.

LS6, depending on how I build it  up... will be around the same unless I do dual turbo.
Big for British roads.

I don't know what these crack heads are saying.  CG Is perfectly fine like it was 2 years ago.  We still have loads of money, actively paying our hard working developers, and we have enough money to pay for our server bills without getting by, by the skin of our teeth.  We also have tons of Gamemodes running still that are heavily populated guys.  I dont see what the question was....
Your sarcasm seems to be a passive-aggressive way of constantly complaining about CG.

That is some massively nerdy shit, Statua. But very well done. Looks really great :)
