By HottestVapes Go To PostThe high refresh is great, I'm still not sold on the value of gsync though. Owned my monitor for almost a year at this point too, shit just doesn't wow me.It just removes tearing. Which is a big deal to some and a non-issue to others.
e: also, using the right settings can reduce some input lag
By HottestVapes Go To PostThe high refresh is great, I'm still not sold on the value of gsync though. Owned my monitor for almost a year at this point too, shit just doesn't wow me.It's one of those things you're really glad you have when it's gone. Like for some reason it's not been working properly in PUBG for me lately, and I find the occasional tear incredibly annoying. HRR + g-sync combo is great. But yeah, I wouldn't exactly call it life-altering.
By Kibner Go To PostIt just removes tearing. Which is a big deal to some and a non-issue to others.

I have it set up right, I just find it really niche. It's nice for capping a game at 60FPS and any small dips in frame rate feel smoothed out.
For playing at 100+FPS I just disable it. I don't notice tearing at that kinda FPS on a 144hz panel.
144hz/FPS is fucking fantastic though. It's not like I can't go back to 60FPS, but when I play something at 60FPS and then play something at 144fps afterwards it amazes me every time.
By Kibner Go To Postaight, g-sync + higher refresh rate rocks
ohh yeah..this is your first exposure to gsync and a 120hz+ panel, right?
By Smokey Go To Postohh yeah..this is your first exposure to gsync and a 120hz+ panel, right?yup
By Kibner Go To PostyupDim sum. Hit me up for some of that 144hz Siege soon, breh. Rainbow 6 at 144+fps is a damn game changer.
By Kibner Go To Postyup
believe the hype m8
really glad vrr is available at least on xbox one. needs to come to the console space full blown asap
I haven't really tried a bunch of different fps to see what I can tell the difference between, but if it's anything like a CRT, I won't be able to differentiate anything above 80 fps or so.
By FootbalIFan Go To Post43 inch monitor? How can you use that?There are ways. 43" isn't really that big. If you have a large enough desk or if you wall mount it, you can get away with it. Or maybe in a setup like this.
By Kibner Go To PostI would need to have a six foot deep desk to use a 43" to monitor.Think of how many keyboards and DACs you could fit on that bitch.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostThink of how many keyboards and DACs you could fit on that bitch.Not enough.
By Fergie Go To PostSo when are those 65' monitors coming out?"This summer."
Bruhs.
Thanks for the heads up in tellin me to upgrade to a 1070ti from the 1050ti.
This + Ryzen 5 means that Vanquish and Bayo works in 4k. FFXV & XII is playable @ 60fps( XII @ 4K).
I can run the wiiu emulator
I love you bruhs. ;_;

Typically, the x70 is the beginning of the high end for Nvidia. So get that if you are trying to get the best frames at the highest settings.
X50 and x60 are the mid-range, bang-for-the-buck cards and everything lower is low-end.

Cuz Im in Japan where expensive shit plus shippin is a wallet killer.
I'ant buyin nothin gamin/fukkery related till June.
Good video on PC benchmarking
Basically some benches can be misleading if they don't give frame pacing data, or if they don't involve AI and other items that would be present in a normal playthrough. They give good examples of both.

For most games I can go back to 60fps as well. But man, when playing a reaction heavy shooter like csgo in 240hz normally, and then accidentally have windows default to 60 (because it likes doing that with some updates...), it feels like the game is straight up broken. First time I thought my pc was dying. Must admit though, I can't notice a huge difference from 144hz to 240hz. I'm not even sure if I can. But the change from 60hz to 144hz is huge.

An incremental improvement at best, as expected, with 960 EVO / PRO still king of the hill and all.

By diehard Go To PostI mean it doesnt really matter but i just bought a 960 EVO a week ago lolSame, but like two weeks ago. Lol
Still don't regret it.
By Smokey Go To PostUsing a 800 series EVO and an Intel SSD from my first build back in 2011.My server has better CPU, RAM, and storage than my gaming rig. lol

By Kibner Go To PostSame, but like two weeks ago. LolNot much to regret besides the 5-year warranty (vs. 3 on the 960 EVO). #960EVObrehs

Never really got into the minutiae of overclocking in the past, but I bought some rich boy RAM (3200mhz 14-14-14-31) to see how it’d play with my 1600.
Running 3.85Ghz at 1.24375v on the CPU with LLC on 2.
That seems to be just on the line for stability, lower voltage is fine for benchmarks but it’ll crash within 10 minutes of stress testing, any higher clockspeed requires a huge increase in voltage and that just doesn’t seem worthwhile.
In the past, I’d just go straight to 3.9Ghz/1.3v, but I’m at near enough the same performance now while using much less voltage. The CPU has only peaked at 68c. Fans are only at 1250RPM too so it’s quiet too.
Peak power draw according to HW monitor is roughly 101w.
Cinebench scores: MT: 1280 / ST: 157

yeah, you always want to run voltage as low as stable
I got out of the manual overclocking game a while back. Hours trying different settings and writing down all the values in a notepad. This was also back when oc'ing the cpu and ram was a bit more difficult though I can't remember what exactly changed. I think it had to do with the memory controller being built into the cpu or fsb as opposed to being a separate chip.
Nowadays, I just go with whatever auto overclock tools I can use, if I feel like doing it.

I kinda enjoy it for the sake tinkering to be honest. I don’t fully understand RAM overclocking yet though. I know the safe voltages, and how to set timings, etc. but I don’t know what each timing does or how they effect stability and all that. Something I’m gonna look into more to see what I can get out of these Samsung B dies.

By Smokey Go To PostAbsolutely disgusting smhi spend more time tweaking my audio gear now, tbh
By DominicanPower Go To PostAnyone own HyperX Cloud II's?
I did and disliked them somewhat. They just felt cheap, tinny sound and had a slight buzz from the usb connector. But lots of people love the headset, so I guess the best thing to do, is test them out somewhere if possible.
After Hyperx I went on to Steelseries which while wireless (which i must admit is nice), was probably worse and extremely uncomfortable for longer periods of time, sold that also and ended up on the Sennheiser Game Ones, which are really nice, but also a good but more expensive.
Sennheisers are dope. Yes I know Kibner before you start saying "get real non gaming headsets"

I get that side of it, kinda. Just that I don't have a rough guidance on what timings to aim for at different speeds. my XMP timings are 14-14-14-31 at 3200mhz, but if I was to push for 3333mhz for instance, I don't know if it's better to push my voltage up or loosen timings, but I guess it's more or less a trial and error thing.

Once you reach the point where you can max out your RAM speed while keeping stock timings, you've basically eked out all the perceivable performance you will get from them. It's something I wouldn't waste a lot of time on, tbh.
e: like, taking it further may result in you getting 121 fps instead of 120 or 119. maybe.
By Kibner Go To Postmodmic exists, just saying ;)Yeah I get that, but if I can pump 1.4v into my RAM and get it up to 3333 or 3466mhz at CL14, I may as well. I mean, they're rated for up to 4000mhz at 1.4v with looser timings, so I feel like I've paid for that extra 1fps. Though there's no a chance in hell I'll get it near 4000mhz with the IMC in a first gen Ryzen.

I've been fucking around with various display managers over the past couple of weeks. DisplayFusion is great, as is BastaZMover. The latter doesn't do proper virtual displays, however it's great for setting up and maintaining an optimal desktop layout. Highly recommended for UWers.
Speaking of, can you guys recommend an mp3 / music player that's highly customizable and, you know, good? Other than Winamp, I mean.
This is how I'm running my desktop like 95% of the time.
