This seems worth reposting:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/4i4399/dual_monitor_144hz_60hz_framerate_lock_is_a_bug/

quote:

Issue is showcased here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmaz4qAor_w
TLDV; If you run a game on 144hz monitor, and play video or moving graphic on 60hz monitor, 144hz locks at 60fps for the duration of the moving graphic.
Got this from Nvidia support
"After a lot of investigation internally, this was found not to be a bug, but a limitation when using a 144hz monitor and a 60hz monitor together and trying to watch video on the 60hz monitor.
If you are trying to watch a 60Hz streamed game or video on their 144Hz monitor, the PC tries to show the streamed image (144/60 = ) 2.4 times... before showing the next frame. The monitor is not going to show a fractional number of frames of the streamed content. The monitor is going to show the "frame 1" 2 times, then show the "frame 2" 3 times, then show "frame 3" 2 times, and keep repeating this pattern.
So it is expected to see some stutter and judder, if you lower the refresh to 120hz on the primary monitor this issue will go away.
Its not something we can fix. "
EDIT:
Some have reported that turning it down to 120hz solved it, this was not the case for me, my issue still persists.

If you watch a 60fps video on your second display your refresh on your gaming screen might get fuxxored

Yep, agreed, a much closer look reveals the SMG to be an MP18 with the drum magazine. It's going to be weird when a WW1 game is just people running around with aviation carbines, Browning Auto 5s and MP18s because lol any of that vs a bolt action.

The PlayStation Store leaked the new Call of Duty, so it’s only fair that Xbox gets to leak the new Battlefield. This morning, that’s what happened, with the above image popping up on Xbox Live as part of an advertisement for the new reveal stream.

Meanwhile, Reddit’s got a retail leak confirming that the game’s called Battlefield 1.

The shot appears to confirm previous rumors that the next Battlefield will be set in an alternate version of World War I. There’s a big zeppelin and a WW1-era trench club, among other details. I think it’s safe to assume that there won’t be any magic, despite the main character looking straight out of Doctor Strange.

We’ll have more later this afternoon once EA does their official reveal, so stay tuned.

Indeed, but you know the standard issue bolt actions are going to be pinpoint accurate and 1 hit kills.

Hopefully. I'm thinking the same too. I think the 980TI deals we're getting right now might be totally worth it depending on the 1080's specs and price, especially cause I'm not gonna go over 1080p for a while yet.

Because non-reference blow the hot air back into the case and that will only work if you know what you are doing and have air flow. They can't expect that so they use the lowest common denominator solution

If you don't run into weird performance issues or other problems then you are fine, it's just good practice to use DDU when switching brands and such because it helps ensure that you never run into those problems in the first place.

It happens every time with every brand and every card about to come out. The Titan X was predicted, here, to be $1600 minimum after first leaks, Fury X to be $1000+, etc etc. Thing is everybody could be right too because who knows what they'll do with the lineup. Say they drop the Titan and push the 1080ti to the $1000 pricepoint (it wouldn't be the most illogical thing), then a 1080 would be $200-$300 above the current 980ti. I dont think they will, but...

Anyway I'll start the bets, the 1070 will be $369.99 and the 1080 will be $519.99

Well, the current guess of "looks a lot like NV made a GCN chip" is 290X going head to head with a 980 Ti better. So quite possibly, that's a hell of an upper bound.

Froist posted:

Because blowers get the air out of the case so first you can't seriously gently caress up and second you can treat the card as totally modular when setting up the fan. Plus who cares if it's hotter and louder if you're selling the same card? Do note that AMD's given up on the things, the 390X only comes with aftermarket coolers and the Fury X is running an AIO loop like god intended.

I don't think anyone reasonably believes a 1080 will launch with a MSRP of $800. If it's a paper/super-limited launch with a MSRP of $550ish (what the 980 launched at), I could easily see retail prices in the $700's until supply caught up. At the same time, the resale price of a used 980Ti is gonna drop pretty much no matter what happens with the 1080, simply because it's no longer the newest/most powerful card available, even if the 1080 turns out to be a bit of a turd and is only like 10% faster. So maybe you can start picking up a used 980Ti for $450, maybe less.

So now you're talking $450 for a gently used 980Ti with 2+ years warranty left, or $700 (more like $750 after tax) for a 1080, and yeah, now you've got a $300 price gap that's gonna be mighty hard to fill performance-wise for awhile.

Also, you wouldn't want to go SLI or Crossfire with anything but blower coolers, unless you are going to go with watercooling. Like someone else said, the open shroud type coolers blow the air off of the cooler in any direction, while blowers shoot most of it out the back. This means that any open shroud type cooler that gets sandwiched close to any other cooler, is going to get real hot. So, a blower cooler should work in almost any configuration, but it may be louder than most people want. An open shroud (and usually multi-fan) cooler, will run cooler and quieter than a blower, so long as their adequate space/ventilation, so they are usually best for single card set ups. To further this, SLI/Crossfire is generally a poor value proposition, and why most goons in this thread will recommend the most expensive single card you can afford rather than a multi-card set up, so most people should get an open shroud cooler, provided there is adequate space and/or ventilation.

This also makes them much better, in general, for SFF cases, SLI/CF, and other scenarios where you have limited space to work with to the point that open-air after market coolers would have a hell of a time generating enough airflow to work correctly. Sure, for most people it'll never be an issue, but they're not completely useless.
