    Yes, but would make more sense in my opinion. Even then, it's not like it answers question anyhow.

    Yeah, we need to just put that video aside.

     

    Gsync and Freesync basically have zero lag as long as you stay bellow the refresh rate (so employ an fps capper etc).

     

    It's also worth noting, just going to 144hz alone makes tearing and frame judder ALOT less noticeable.

    Because it is. He uses two different monitors, you cannot compare different technologies with different monitors.

    It's not that, the monitors don't really affect the latency numbers THAT much, just the scenarios tested and the information given out wasn't very good. I know Linus' videos are usually meant to be basic, usually they are pretty good for what they are, this videos however was bad IMO.

    Looks cool, but still bound to Nvidia :( 

    I don't see why AMD couldn't do the same thing tbh. But yeah, atm nvidia are the only one with this sort of frame sync. It works similar to how borderless windowed does, but without the 1 extra frame of latency windows adds when running windowed.

    So.....gysnc and freesync? That's what it sounds like to me. Maybe I should rewatch the presentation.

    Gsync is completely different to fast sync, they share some things, but in the end, they have quite different pros and cons, for instance, if you let gsync just run at it's maximum framerate (ie 144) you'll created what Tom Peterson was calling "backpressure", which means massive input latency, fast sync doesn't have this issue, making it ideal for games where you really need 200 FPS atleast, such as CSGO.

     

    personally, I'm hyped as fuck for Fastsync, I've been wanting this sort of technology to become a thing for ages.

    Do you mean freesync/gsync? Just making sure you understand what you are looking for.

    Fast sync is a new type of Vsync from nvidia, it is basically vsync without the FPS cap or massive input latency.

     

    In regards to OP.

     

    #1 FastSync works on pretty much any Nvidia card

    #2 FastSync is done in the driver software but isn't in the current driver, so you'll have to wait until Nvidia releases a new Driver with the Feature included.

    I imagine this will be around the time the official GTX 1080 driver is out, or later on if we're unlucky.

  6. Oh, an interest thing to know about the Razer Deathstalker, is it's pretty much Razer's version of the SteelSeries Apex line.

     

    I notice sometimes SS release something and like 12 months later razer release a similar product, something fishy going on by the looks of it. Maybe Razer just likes to make copy cat products, I dunno.

  7. Just get anything you think looks good, is mechanical and fits your desired form factor, for instance I only get keyboards that don't have the number pad on the right (ie ten-keyless)

     

    RGB is usually just a gimmick so manufacturers can sell more keyboards, but if it's something you want, power to you, also extra macro keys are usually gimmicky IMO to, but I imagine some people might have a niche use case for them.

     

    Personally I use a Filco ninja tenkeyless with blank keycaps and reds.

  8. Yes, having variable lighting on a mouse (ie pulsing or cycling light modes) does cause tracking to be worse, my guess would be that a poll that would normally send mouse movement data instead instructs the mouse to change colour, but that's just a theory.

     

    Try enotus mouse test for tracking smoothness etc.

     

    When I used a razer deathadder Chroma for a few weeks, I noticed the tracking would be less smooth, both in tests and by looking at actual cursor movement. Setting the colour to a static colour or off improved tracking.

     

    Edit: It affects tracking smoothness, not so much input lag and real dpi value.

    a better test was done by watercool.de click here to read (it its in german)

     

    They used an INTEL I5-6600K @4700 Mhz (Vcore 1,408) on a  ASUS Z170M-PLUS cooled by their HEATKILLER® IV water-cooler.

     

    Exchanging the TIM with Arctic MX-2 resulted in a drop of 2,35° C from 45.25°C to 42,9°C. After that they used GELID GC EXTREME which dropped the Temperature to 35,25°C.

    Yep, just goes to show that the top end compounds make a massive difference, and the IC Diamond was used really just isn't up to the job.

     

    Also proves my point that Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is a good alternative to liquid metal, because Kryonaut is even better than the Gelid GC Extreme used in the article.

    Nvidia has lost what little respect as a company it had left to me, that they haven't got Asynchronous compute in their drivers six months later but they have DX12 Gameworks up and running say's a lot about what their priorities are.

    I get the feeling you're copy/quoting that from a certain someone :333

     

    But yeah, it's pretty sucky overall, Nvidia are probably going to try to rely on Gameworks to hamper AMDs performance in order to stay competitive.

    Yet to see someone in the delid club recommend Kyronaut over a LM, but I won't hold my breath.

    Oh, I just noticed in my original post, I implied Kyronaut was as good as LM, that was a mistake, I meant it somewhat close, while not being conductive at all.

    Thermal Grizzly does a liquid metal TIM that is harder to use than Coollabs Pro/Ultra. If you're delidding then not using a LM TIM then there is no point. You're just wasting your time.

    Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut is surprisingly close to LM if you look at the numbers, I can't talk for their LM, since I haven't looked at it much.

     

    Any other TIM that isn't LM and I'd agree with you, it isn't worth it, but Kyronaut is really good.

  13. 3 degrees is probably the worst result I've seen for a 6700k delid, I can only imagine it's because IC Diamond was used. For delids Thermal Grizzly Kyranut is decent, it's close to liquid metal without being conductive or hard to clean up.

     

    And just an FYI, TG Kyronaut and liquid metal have a pretty big lead over other compounds for delids, it's not just an extra few degrees.
