it's Dell so they probably can still fence over a few thousand of those at least to ***enterprise***

Ultrasharps tend to be really good but in general Dell seems to have an aversion to non poo poo framerates, I guess "look at how smooth this spreadsheet is" doesn't translate well

If all you’re doing is staring at excel all day I don’t think 30fps vs 60fps is making much of a difference, the image is retained between each refresh anyway.

Anything in motion looks awful though

i didn't think there would be any real difference between 60hz and 144hz for general desktop work either but drat was i ever wrong. and my graphics card's version of displayport can "only" do 120 to boot.

high frame rate + good color is far more important than extreme resolution.

Seriously, I'd trade this for a decent 1440p in a snap. Finally tossed the flickering one, replaced it with an old 1920x1200, I can actually look at the screen from different angles without everything vanishing this is fantastic.

I worried when I got a high-framerate, variable-refresh monitor that I would get used to the smooth motion and it would ruin all slower monitors for me forever. but actually, it turns out that's exactly what happened. lol. owned

i used to consider 40fps in a game perfectly fine and 60fps fantastic but now if it's below 90 it feels like ants in my eyes and i am absolutely not a hardcore twitch gamer. moving windows around on a 60hz display is tolerable but continuously annoying, like using a mouse on a surface with sand and crumbs on it.

seriously a 120hz+ display is like, nearly SSD levels of ahhhhhhhhhh. try it and see

the problem is even if there was a decent 4k 144hz monitor no graphics card can run games at that resolution and framerate, lol

that’s why you want variable refresh too. anything from 48 to 144 is fair game

with

a gtx 760 driving it

i can carefully inspect each frame, before the next frame arrives, and because i am accustomed to this, i am fine with it, and do not long for more, faster frames

as a true doom murderhead i gotta say that new doom is not grabbing me nearly the same way as doom 2016 or even doom 3

i just... kinda don't care and it feels designed by psychologists for the minmaxer, like every other big budget game. kinda hard to follow 2016 i guess

yeah all the extra poo poo they crammed in for reclaiming health, ammo etc with the chainsaw, the flame burp and whatever else seemed dead set on getting in the way of the 2016 DOOM 'Run around and kill demons with your shotgun' gameplay that I enjoyed so much. I don't want to balance multiple cooldown timers thankyou, or I'd go play a MMO.

i would say work towards the upper tier belts/miners and set a goal to completely consume a resource at max belt/mine rate, whichever you're bottlenecked by.

a commodities trading workstation that some friends put together in 1988 or so consisted of a Mac II with six two-page displays because it was the most screen real estate you could get (they had to set up a custom externally-clocked high speed serial link for access to the trading platform because they couldn’t use a slot for an Ethernet card)

the entire UI for the trading system was designed in 9pt Geneva because it had the best density:legibility ratio so it was a 3×2 grid of 21-inch (1152×870) displays full of tiny commodity symbols and tiny numbers and tiny arrows and tiny graphs

that was 3456×1760 so an image of that system would only partially fill a 4K display
