What's the refresh on that keyboard? This is really a game that favors a 144hz/240hz monitor. And what are the FPS.

MysteriousStranger posted:

60hz is a huge problem right there. What's the input delay?

Hmmm if you're running 60hz monitor and 115fps you shouldn't be getting tearing

turn on adaptive vsync?

you do not *have* to have a 120-144 hz monitor. But they are nice. But that is not your problem. The game can be played on a 60hz monitor lock-solid smooth with no tearing. It can be done. You just need to configure different.

If you're upset with tearing issues, I would consider getting a gsync/freesync monitor, which is independent of a 120/144 hz monitor. I have a gsync 144hz monitor and it rules. With gsync/freesync you don't have to use vsync and you also don't get tearing.

But if you are on a budget just turn on vsync, or adaptive vsync if you can.

Zaphod42 posted:

again, if you turn on vsync you won't have tearing

the problem with vsync is if you render at below 60fps it'll drop to 30fps, so that's why gsync/freesync are better. But dude, again, I want to be clear about this: If you are on a budget and don't want tearing turn vsync on already

Anything with MX red switches will work really.

IMHO I'd get the steelseries for one reason only. I do not like having multiple driver suites running for peripherals in the backend, SS has one of the better ones. Personally I'd also pickup the steelseries Qck+ limited for a big old mouse pad and I'd go with their Rival 310 over the 600. The 600 is just overkill. The sensei and rival 310 both use the same main sensor as the 600 but have different shapes (right handed vs ambidexterous). The 600 adds an adjustable liftoff sensor and other gimics that you do not need and is larger. Save the 20 on the mouse and put it somewhere else.

I am enjoying Quake Champions a lot, but I have some serious rose tinted glasses for Quake 1 deathmatch and I wish mods were possible for QC so we could have this.

if your peripherals have RGB john carmack himself appears in your room and bellows "you chose poorly" then you age real fast until you're a skeleton.

i think the game desperately needs an objective based mode like CTF

Nvidia highlights saves to your videos folder by default, it creates a sub folder with the name of each game

You have to have your Twitch and Bethesda accounts linked and have watched QuakeCon. It's two huge boxes, 1k shards, 1k green favor, special nameplates and icons. I'd got associate all your stuff and then bitch at them on twitter and complain and see if they cave.

Message twitch as well.

There's no bots in modes other than the specific Bots TDM mode now.

Fortylions is streaming a den on twitch again tonight. Pretty great stuff and some fun matches.

also is there a way to make this game just show you the scoreboard the second the match is over instead of what it does by default, it's incredibly annoying

Vsync causes input lag. If you're using an Nvidia card, you can enable "fastsync" which gets rid of tearing with less input lag.

Honestly, I can't tell the difference. I even use a wireless mouse and keyboard and do just fine.

Your frame limit doesn't matter if the monitor can't refresh fast enough. If you have a 60hz monitor spitting 200 fps at it won't do squat.

V-SYNC tanks frames and adds about 16ms of lag, both freesync and g-sync also add lag but it's not nearly as bad. Some people are more sensitive to this than others and that 16ms makes a difference, others aren't. That all said moving to a 144hz monitor at 1ms delay generally means you're getting over twice the visual data with none of the input delay, so it's better. You also have less frame skips at that speed.

Generally what you are shooting for is 144hz at 144fps with ms delay and all your input devices wired. That's sort of the perfect configuration (240hz monitors do exist but are rare and not really used outside of LAN tournaments). But you'll find plenty of people who use a 60hz ips with wireless items and manage to not suck.

A faster setup isn't going to make you time items better or know how to move and where to go better. It will remove hurdles for your aim being as good as it can be but that's only part of the game. Will upgrading improve your KDR, sure it will. Provided your issue was not hitting the shots you might have it. If your issue was not knowing when the megas were going to show up and charging blindly into fights it's not going to do jack poo poo.
