Which version of THX?

Mine says 1.04.03

Which Realtek HD Audio driver?

Mine says 6.0.1.6537

 

if you live in apartment , neighboors below won't like you lol

The other 2 holes on the side are for front and rear speakers.

More info must be in 1st post of this thread, as Striker would remind you

 

What happened to the images which were originally posted with this reply? I am in the same position with the microphone and can use all the help I can get.

 

I had reached my forum limit of attachment uploads so I deleted some to make room in new posts.

They were accidently removed from the post you want and have been reattached to post #4852.

Mine haven't update since i owned it on august 2011. I got older vesion of both.
edit: * I tried Thx for autoupdate. it says 1.02* is the latest for me.

That's the idea.. To give my neighbours a rival. My apologize, last time i been to first page. I failed to find that info. That's mean this beast is ready to have external speaker then with that front & rear speakers port?

 

Wow, 631 pages is an awful lot now, haha..

A job well done indeed to keeping this thread so active =)

Has anyone found a way yet to remap the keys?

I'd like to map the 'Scroll Lock' and 'Pause Break' keys to 'Home' and 'End' which I find more important.

Suggestions people? =)

 

RandyRants: SharpKeys 2.1.1

This'll allow you to remap keys easily. You can do it 'raw' in the registry, but it's an awful lot of not fun doing that. Sharpkeys is just a GUI frontend for the registry edits. It should work with Win 7, but I last used it on Vista x86, so no promises there.

Having said that, am going to go try it on Win 7 x64...

edit: Found an alternative in case SharpKeys doesn't work: https://code.google.com/p/keymapper/downloads/list

edit 2: Both appear to work.

 

I upgraded the RAM last Thursday, installed both ssd's last night, and finished a bare metal fresh win7 ultimate install earlier this morning. It appears to quite swell.

The process for getting to the RAM under the keyboard is spot on and worked w/out issue.

I just got off of the phone w/Ken from GenTechPC and will be getting the 90% gamut screen, and the 1103 w/3rd antenna.

Good times.

 

Nice!

You'll like that 90% color gamut screen. I've commented on it and linked it's specs in the lead post.

 

I just got done reading the owners manual regarding my question but I didn't quite find what I was looking for. I recently purchased a Creative X-Fi Go but it isn't doing what I want it to do for my headphones. That's another story for another time. Anyhow, all I really want to know is if I can hook up a pair of "True 5.0" headphones to the on board sound card. Looking through the manual, I understand that I can hook up external speakers for 5.0 surround but it says nothing about hooking up a headset utilizing all of the 3.5mm jacks. Basically, I've never seen a headset that utilized true 5.0 surround so I don't quite know how many 3.5mm plugs it has and if they can all be plugged into the GT780.

Thanks

 

MSI THX 1.04.03
http://download2.msi.com/files/downloads/uti_exe/thx_mb.zip

If you get a .dll error,reinstall it.

 

Anyone tried Intel 520 SSD on their GT780/783

 

i'll let you know once it comes in

 

I think Roccat Kave 5.1 headset got 4 x 3.5mm jack plug

 

Yep,the Roccat Kave 5.1 headset has 4 x 3.5mm and 1 USB for power.

 

Do you know if all of the "True 5.1" headsets use this same set up with the one USB and four 3.5mm? Also, would our on board sound card support these headsets?

 

Sorry,I don't have any 1st hand experience with any others besides using a Roccat Kave 5.1 demo unit for a short period.The sound wasn't any better if I remember correctly than my Sony MDR7509 or AKG K702 headphones.

 

The 5.1 headset they all seems to be made for desktop sound cards (see attached image), it required front/rear and center channel audio cable.

GT780 will support front and rear but not the center/subwoofer, so you may want to check to see if there are converter so you can connect all cables into one digital cable to the green audio input jack on the laptop.

 

Thanks Ken! Maybe I'll just take this Creative X-Fi Go back to Best Buy since I can't get it to play back 3D sound during game play like it says I can. I'll just suck it up and get a USB headset. It's going to hurt me a ton not being able to use my Sennheiser HD 800's while playing BF3. Unless you can think of anything else that would give me a virtual type surround sound during game play other than the Creative X-Fi Go.

 

Hi,

I have the same problem like yours. I'm going to buy this one: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB Sound Card powered by THX TruStudio Pro | Creative Labs Online Store

I think it will solve our 5.1 problem.

 

Ken,

If you set the Realtek HD Audio Manager to 5.1 and then when you plug in your jacks can't the ports be remapped?

Green = front
Black = subwoofer
blue = rear

I think the Turtle Beach Earforce Z6 Headset will work this way?
Turtle Beach Earforce Z6 Headset Review a Hardware Reviews at MMORPG.com

 

Thank you very much!

It really is peculiar that they added this piece of plastic. It could have been intended to be foam in the design phase and someone down the line assumed it to mean plastic. Foam would make sense, to dampen sound. I'll let you know results once I complete the "operation."

How much of an improvement did you notice once you removed your piece, WhatsThePoint?

 

I manage to map the 'Scroll Lock' key but I failed to map the 'Pause Break' key.. This is weird, the 'Pause Break' key was shown as 'Num Lock' key when I try to capture the key as I type.

Odd, did u try this with the GT780?

 

New nVidia drivers released, Verde 295.73 Driver
Graphics Driver - Verde 295.73 Driver - GeForce

 

wow, that's a expensive headset.

For 5.1 headset, the decoder similar to this one should work:

Amazon.com: Sewell Digital to Analog 5.1 Dts/ac-3 Decoder Surround Sound (Toslink/coax to Rca): Electronics

It has one digital input to the green jack on the laptop, and output to 5.1 for the headset.

The blue jack is audio in I don't think it can be remap. It can only swap Center / subwoofer output.

Thanks.

 

Hey Ken, how's my new GT783-653US coming along? Is it ready yet, is it ready yet?

 

With regard to 5.1 headsets, I've been thinking about getting one myself. Has anyone tried the USB variety, such as these ones for example?

Sonar 5.1 Gaming Headset | Cyber Snipa

 

How does the GT783-653 differ from the GT783-625 and GT783-658?

 

The GT783-653US is the COOL model! (typo error actually, it's the GT783-658US..... Gee Wiz, Ken knows what I mean, LOL!)

 

lol i thought it was a new model for a sec and scrolled down.

Do you guys update nvidia graphics to latest from nvidia website or what ?

 

Yup, why wouldn't we? If you want to play the latest games it is kind of mandatory.

Regarding headset? Amazon.com: Turtle Beach TBS-2214 Ear Force Z6A Gaming Headset with Multi Speaker 5.1 Surround Sound: Computers & Accessories

This is what I'm running on my personal computer. Sound is excellent.

 

Yeah,I fell for the new model typo also

I've been updating to new beta and WHQL NVIDIA Verde releases for quite a while hoping the "driver has stopped responding' to be completely fixed.

 

Does anyone know why GPUZ is saying I do not have PhysX? If you look at the bottom of GPUZ, it will have 4 check boxes. OpenCL, Cuda, PhysX and Direct Compute. Everyone of them is checked except for the PhysX. Is this normal?

 

When you updated your driver to 295.73 did you choose Custom installation.

In custom installation it shows driver parts options.

I uncheck Nvidia Audio and Nvidia Update leaving just the driver and Physx checked.

I check the box to perform a clean installation.

After completion I reboot.

 

Thanks. I'll try that and report back.

Edit* It worked. Thanks. I wonder why un-selecting the HD Audio made the difference.

 

EDIT:

MSI Afterburner Beta 14
http://download3.msi.com/files/downloads/uti_exe/vga/MSIAfterburnerSetup220Beta14.zip

 

Or you can always download Physx separately from nVidia, the new version 9.12.0213 just released today:

NVIDIA DRIVERS 9.12.0213

Not quite yet, we have encounter problems with your laptop and we are still trying to figure it out what's going on, please be patience and try not to rush, troubleshooting takes time.

 

I am SO glad that that's Striker's lappy, and not mine. But that lappy looks like a Dell though. Safe to say that Striker's lappy is a Dell?

 

Do you guys go for beta or stable release ?

mine is currently 285.80



Nvidia just release a new driver for GTX 500M series

295.73

I was wondering whether is it safe ? since i do have that issue on BF3 and i always play batman too which stated improved performance.

 

Latest version is a full release and not a beta.
Update.

 

Unfortunatelly this is not working. I have got only "quadrophone". No subwoofer and center. So we need an external soundcard for 5.1.

 

Which external sound card would you recommend?

 

In my opinion this is the best option for me/us:
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB Sound Card powered by THX TruStudio Pro
50 bucks.

 

Now that wasn't exactly the screenshot image I wanted to see.......

(BTW Ken, in case you didn't notice, changed my SIG!)

 

Hi all
I have 2 external screen (wacom cintiq & samsung screen) when I connect samsung screen via HDMI and cintiq screen via VGA, laptop screen disconnect directly
Is there any way to use all of them (cintiq screen & samsung screen & laptop screen) at the same time ?

sorry for my English mistakes

Thanks

 

Does anyone know if;

CORSAIR VS 8GB DDR3 SO-DIMM PC3-8500 1066MHZ CL7 (2X4GB)

or

CORSAIR 8GB DDR3 1333MHZ (2X4GB) SO-DIMM

fits the GT780DX model?

They are only 30 euros in sweden atm.

Which one of them are the best for MMORPGs and BF3 etc?

 

Hahahhaa. Gives a whole new meaning to 'you can fry an egg on that thing'... That will do your bacon as well

 

You will see no difference with those over the stock ram. The difference between those 2 is so small you would never notice.

 

1600MHZ better

 

I found this post where the mic was sacrificed.
