***quick thanks***Hi! Thank you everyone for you help, when I had problems with my new build I was surprised how much feedback I got so quickly helping me sort out any potential problems with my PSU, mobo, and power cables to get the card running! I only have the 2GB DDR5 card and I can run Battlefield 4 on ULTRA everythingat 107fps; I had planned on getting one of the more expensive cards soon but after running this I am SO content with this GPU that I think I will run it for some time and wait a generation or three.***
QUESTION: Can I run my cable box HDMI right to my video card HDMI? What is the best way to be able to watch cable through my computer, I know there are TV out cards I can get but in the age of HDMI I was hoping to be able to just have one plug, but maybe the video card is HDMI out only so I might be totally unrealistic, if so I can just get an HMDI monitor and plug straight into it...I just liked the idea of being able to watch tv and design a web page on the same screen LOL. If so is there any software you prefer over others? And is there a tuner or part that would be best to use, if it is not as simple as I think? I am moving PC upstairs into my room by my an additional dv-r (my roommate has 1 for each bedroom and living room) so I want to get some kind of setup to utilize HD Cable TV an a computer monitor (The simple part, I know at the least I can plug my HDMI into a monitor and use it as my television, just wondering the best way to run it through my computer to my monitor so I have options like putting it in a window, etc, although I realize this may be totally unrealistic IDK Im gonna feel like an idiot if I find it on google after a 2nd search)!
Thanks again for all the help getting my rig running I LOVE IT (Haswell is great cpu but it is 10X better with my GPU in now THX again); MY PC:
EVGA GTX 760 NVidia 2GB DDr5 (this card rocks I cant even imagine how a higher end EVGA card would look)
Haswell Core i7 - 4770k LGA1150
ASUS Z87M-PLUS MoBo / BitFemix PHENOM Micro ATX case-It's extra wide so hasn't been 2 much of a pain(my first small case I prefer larger normally to work on.)
8GB (2x4gb sticks) DDR3 1600mhz Mushkin RAM
Seasonic 520watt PSU - m12 II Bronze-highly recommend SeaSonic they contract to make Corsair's high end power supplies(Crappy PSU I'd need 600watts!)
Other stuff I won't bore you with like cooling fans dvrw but no other major cards or anything important, 1 pci-e 4X available, a crappy old style 1 inch little pci-e that is probably too close to my GPU to even use. The one issue with this computer is I CANNOT run SLI, or put in many other so in future I may get bigger case if I upgraded to a single 4-6GB card I may not ever feel the need for more than one card if I love mine now, but I like options!
