As long as it's not a TFT you should be okay, don't wanna tweak your neck on some slippery pixels (this was a Whole Thing in the monitors thread) Personally I am eyeing one of those 500hz+ monitors but I might wait an iteration based on my experience between early 240 and late 280

New Zealand can eat me posted:As long as it's not a TFT you should be okay, don't wanna tweak your neck on some slippery pixels (this was a Whole Thing in the monitors thread) I'm big on 240 Hz monitors, been using them for quite some time, started out with an asus 1080p TN, now I'm using a dell 1440p IPS. The problem I see with 480/500 Hz displays is that almost any modern game is going to run into a CPU limit way before then. Even 240 Hz is unreachable on a lot of games because of CPU limits no matter what resolution you run at. Also moving from 24"/1080p to 27"/1440p was not really an improvement in gaming at all other than better contrast and oversaturation due to switching from a ~103% sRGB TN to a ~99% DCI-P3 IPS. Otherwise modern anti-aliasing was good enough that the lower pixel density in 24"/1080p was indistinguishable in any kind of action from 27"/1440p. Desktop use is somewhat better, but it doesn't actually have any more practical usable real estate because everything has to be scaled up to compensate for higher pixel density or it would be too small to look at. I already ran 24"/1080p at 150%, and 1440p works best at 200%. So literally neither option has more effective usable space than 720p @ 100%, of course fonts/images do look better in exchange so its still worth it.

100% and likewise (Started on the 240hz Alienwares, now using the 280hz AW2518HF and it's 27" counterpart), I'm 99.9% CPU limited in every single title at 1080p with this 7900XTX, at "sweaty" settings or everything at max. Even dropping down the 3950X to one CCX only moves the goalposts to "99% CPU limited"  It's fully 5800X3D/7xxxX3D territory. Where absurd sounding metrics like "12200fps in CS:GO" are the norm (and while I am not a sponsored pro, some of the people I play quake etc against are). Otherwise I am currently very much enjoying "no compromises 1080p280hz" (RT aside) I do miss the color accuracy a lot especially coming from Mac Land. Very apprehensive about these new panels but they should at the least be an improvement over where we're at now. Just sold the 6900XT to a nameless gamer upgrading from a 3060 TI, they're geeked! The best used 3090 they could find was going for $900! Going to do the mature thing and buy an M2 Mac Mini instead of blow this on a 5800X3D in the hopes that prices somehow drop even further. E: I have nothing other than my eyes to quantify this with, but after ~2 years of extended daily use I'm actually swapping the 27" to be my main display and relegating the 25" to vertical sidecar duty. Zero additional ghosting to report but it just doesn't seem as vivid anymore. New Zealand can eat me fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Jan 18, 2023 |

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:careful where you say these things. the glossy vs matte wars have gotten out of control in some parts of the internet Oh I am definitely aware of that. Luckily I am moving soon so the glare won’t be nearly as big of an issue as it is now. I have a matte screen on my deck and I definitely prefer it but it definitely reduces the image quality.

Only real complaint I have is that the stand (two feet) are janky AF but I’m going to get a monitor arm for it when I move.

200% may be excessive unless you're an old or vision impaired, but yeah 27" for 1440p is too small (100% zoom in Windows) for the average population imho. Too bad because it's about the max size a desk monitor can be without looking ridonculous.

I don't have scaling enabled in windows, but on most websites including the forums I use the browser's zoom to go up a few levels. Same in text editors.

Limiting framerate helped for older games since limiting the max FPS to 60 is so much lower than the max that it draws way less power and makes very little noise, but for anything demanding like Portal RTX the framerate is already low enough that the limit doesn't make a difference. There power limiting helped, but it wasn't substantially quieter until I cut it down to 50% power, which also had a noticeable effect on the framerate. I think I'll just have to decide whether I can live with the noise or not.

Is coil whine more down to the individual card or the model? That is, can you rely on reviews assuming they mention it at all?

necrobobsledder posted:It's kind of a common issue I'm seeing where FF games get released with way too many polys and points in their models to be sensible. For example, vases and shrubs in FF XIV at initial release had far more polys than enemies. See: https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news...rst-launch.aspx and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAydRZ1zeCA The FFXIV veterans are still working on FFXIV and are now also doing FFXVI.

Make, BOM, power supply used, how hard you're willing to push the card, etc. it's not uncommon for 2 cards of the same SKU to react differently when it comes to coil whine.

How does silicon lottery play into this? Probably - most factory OCs tend to be fairly conservative anyway and I'd say it's not usually worth the extra cost. Silicon lottery can play a part but I doubt they do much binning for the TUF series.

Looks like there will be a roughly 40% improvement to FLOPS. I'm guessing we'll see that dragged down to a ~20% - 30% real performance improvement due to the slower memory bus.

I used it with a third party heatsink all this time, but if I want to sell it I need to reassemble it with the stock cooler.

Forspoken is on the FF15 engine (Luminous Engine), while FF16 is UE4, branching off from their FF7R engine. Meanwhile, FF14 1.0 was on Crystal Tools (the FF13 engine) while FF14 2.0 is on a mostly new engine that is nonetheless related to Luminous in some nebulous way. So there's a lot of cross contamination between the different teams at S-E, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of FF7R people worked on FF16 too despite the project leads being from FF14. These lines are blurry.

Those polygon levels are insane. I'm barely dipping into 3d modeling and I already have learned the importance of retopology. I guess what I mean is that I can't imagine that the artists behind SoP don't don't know this. Something else lead to this, like management not caring or crunch time or something.
