Yesterday I was playing FF14(first time playing it and I had the graphics maxed) when suddenly both of my monitors go black, and starts stuttering(for lack of a better word) making a static noise that I and even the people over skype could hear, for about 2 or 3 seconds, then everything comes back on, but everything is responding slowly. My game, everything on chrome would close or open really slowly.

Earlier that day I also had just gotten a second monitor so it was my first day running 2 screens.
Before then, I had never had this problem before.

I looked around the internet for people with similar problems, and I found that it was possibly the power supply, but I don't think that'd be the problem because I'm running a 750w PSU and 1 Nivdia 660, so I should have more then enough.

Anybody ever experience this before, and if so do you know what the problem might be?
I haven't used my computer extensively since, so I'm not sure if it was a 1 time thing or not.

in case its relevant, at the time I had these open:

Final Fantasy 14
Skype
Pandora
Facebook
3-4 other tabs in Chrome
Razer Synapse 2.0
GW2 was sitting in the character selection screen
UltraMon


and my hardware specs are.
Intel i5 3570k IvyBridge 3.4GHz OC'd to 3.8
ASRock z77 Exteme4 Motherboard
16GB Ram
Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750M 750W PSU
Nividia 660

Even when you have a lot of RAM, you can run out of video memory. You may have to reduce your graphic settings to prevent this from happening again. Also, running GW2 doesn't help anything.

This. GW2, while not open and being used, as already allocated both RAM and vRAM space ... and a bunch of it, mind you! Try to stick to one game at a time. I can't imagine a 660 pooping out on FF14 like that.

Yeah. I just read about this as part of my openGL studies.
As it seems NVidia graphics cards simply crash when you try to allocate more vRam then is available. While AMD graphics cards just become horrendously slow by using normal Ram and swapping buffers.
So it might very well be.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
