Found a nice little guide for Testdisk: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step I've now gone through the process of re-writing the partition table on one of my disks and it seems to have worked perfectly. All the files are here and I haven't noticed any corruption. I'm still gonna...

Tried to, didn't work :( All copies fail. I'm considering just trying to restore one of the disks through testdisk since the same data should be on both of them.

Using Testdisk I can navigate through my old partitions and the data. I could go through and back up the important files, but I'd prefer just to restore the entire thing if that's possible. Problem is just that I'm completely new to Testdisk and have little idea of how this program works.

Well, creating a new array was instant and didn't involve any disk activity, so I assume it only created a the basic things required for it to work and that it didn't actually overwrite or delete any of the data on the disk. Update: I've ventured into Testdisk and it looks like my partitions...

Well, I did update my BIOS a while back, which I've read is a common reason disks fall out of arrays, but mine didn't, so I assumed it was fine. Using DD seems time-consuming. It seems like there might be programs that could do this for me. I found EaseUS Partition Master and Partition Wizard...

I had a RAID 1 set up and installed a few new components in the system. Then the BIOS changed SATA mode to AHCI for some f*****g reason, and my disks fell out of the array. So I tried simply setting it back to RAID and re-creating the array, but now they just show up as unallocated data in the...

Do note that this isn't backlight bleeding, the problem OP has is called IPS glow. Backlight bleed looks more like this: http://i.imgur.com/2CTooWT.jpg And here's a more modest example: http://i.imgur.com/gJO7WdZ.jpg And when the IPS glow is this bad you should clearly RMA/replaceme it.

Yeah, kinda douchy :( Also, after a few questions in the Nvidia Redemption thread on Tek Syndicate I'm really starting to doubt the truthfulness of his statements, at least the one about the Asus PCIe controllers. I've asked several times for links now. The first time I got a link to a test...

I haven't found any more info, no. This was a statement by the guy that made the Nvidia Redemption thread. I'm skeptical of the truthfulness of the statement as such a thing would likely have been noticed by enthusiasts by now. So essentially, it could happen, but probably won't, at least not...

Okay, thanks. Only two more questions then and I'm done with this thread: Is there a reason why IOMMU isn't or won't be used in 3D rendering applications outside of virtual machines? And does the statement that 'Asus Z87 PCIe controller has problems with reduced framerates/performance' hold any...

I know, but is there a reason why this isn't or won't be used in 3D rendering applications outside of virtual machines? How so? And I'd also like to second Tigger's question: is there a reason for this lack of support?

So IOMMU has nothing to do with Mantle? Do you know this? If so, how? I'm very much a noob with lower level commands and protocols, so further explanation would be appreciated.

I have learned a few things since my last thread. 1. Swearing is frowned upon here. 2. People like going off topic. 3. Reading is hard. I hope to remedy the problems these things caused with this thread. I would also like to publicly apologize to Frick, the guy I was unnecessarily rude to when...

I might switch to Linux later on if Valve makes enough games compatible with Linux through their SteamOS. So yes, Linux is actually very relevant. Why would I link it otherwise? I am worried about this API because this could potentially make a very large difference in gaming performance and...

Sigh.. Please don't respond if you don't have a clue.. This is nothing like CUDA, this is an API like DirectX that Nvidia is making for Linux as a response to AMD's Mantle API. It is that very same Mantle API that will make BF4 much better with multithreading, by the way.
