Yeah I am really praying its not a card crapping out and if it is, I think I know which one because my cards are a model year apart so to speak and the older of the 2's twin already shat the bed......

Hey thanks for the idea. I will hop into the bios and take a look soon. As far as borrowing a PSU... I have spares but none at the wattage needed to check my whole system which (hear me out...) I...
Before I go any further, yes, I know this screams PSU problem, and I think youre right, but I am wondering if there is a concrete way to find out. I had a bad power surge a few weeks ago and since...
I got it. Awesome. Yeah. I did that before and I really remember having some sort of licensing problem with windows afterwards like I do when I upgrade major hardware since my version of Windows 10...
I know the original is working so if all else fails, my c drive literally ONLY keeps applications so the worst that happens if one of my others fails is I have to reinstall and reconfigure some...
This is an awesome reply. Thank you for taking the time! Yeah, I work both at home and remote and frequently have to share source files for large portions of my work with colleagues and clients, so...
I appreciate the response. It would not be entirely to replace manual backing up of files. I keep multiple offsite for my work files that I backup manually as I work through projects, and also...
I have acronis. I never actually used the backup function. How does it do with duplicate files? Is it good at detecting changes? in the past (not with acronis) I have been stuck with 20+ previous...
I hope this is the right section. A bit unsure where this question would be best posed. I have (very shamefully) been manually backing up all my work files for pretty much ever. Many years ago, at...
Fair enough. Unfortunately the bad things make up 50% of the total purpose of forums. But in my case they have saved me more times than I can count. In this case I just need to find a solution. Once...
I am a computer animator so I have been hit pretty hard with the ugly end of the stick thanks to miners. Much needed graphics card upgrades will be underway whenever a card is available and I get it...
Yeah the physical size IS problematic. I know because my third PCIEx16 slot is covered by one, LOL. I have 2 cards right now and I need more cuda cores. It is just sorta a reality I am living in...
Hi see. So realistically, just because I probably could get away with it doesn’t mean I necessarily should. How do you motherboards that are designed to handle three graphics cards deal with this...
I actually have a 1200 watt power supply right now so then, what your concern is is more of whether the power is there to give and less about if the motherboard can move the power around?
Ultimately the riser would just be an extender from an x16 slot but it is obscured by one of the grpahics cards since the board was technically built for only 2 cards, so my main purpose for the...
So, lets say for sake of argument, I want to avoid any "but why would you?" comments, I am not gaming on my machine, it is for work, and I utilize every last byte of graphics ram, and every last cuda...
Thanks for the weigh in. I really appreciate it!
I dont keep anything older than a few months at a time and even if I did, anything that old, I might as well just start from scratch. So much of my software configurations would be gone anyway, might...
Welp, sounds good to me. Thankfully I dont think any of my hardware is going bad but I could boot my other license of windows up on an external drive and try and get a good view of if the major...
well I appreciate the honesty in the response. All of that said then, not to undermine zbook up above but what are your thoughts on that method of troubleshooting? In all honesty, my main focus is...
That's quite a list. Ill take a look for sure. Havn't done some solid trouble shooting in a while, but my big concern right now is a little less troubleshooting the problem and a little more just...
I know the question is a little vague in the title but I’m not sure how to ask the question in short any other way. Unabridged: I am a firm believer that a fresh install is the best and cleanest way...
Thanks for the thorough reply. I actually enjoyed it. Yeah 2 cards is a bit harder on the system but like I said, seemed to make no difference. The funny part is, I dont have as many latency problems...
Ill look into it. The trickey part certainly would become a space issue. I have 2 much needed workstations in this space as is plus room treatment. Not a whole lot of space to pop a third and I cant...
Are you referring to hardware or software? I use a 1080ti and 780ti for video and graphics and Adobe and AVID Media Composer for video. For Audio I use Cubase and Pro Tools and thats really where I...
