    Noirgheos got a reaction from johnt in Replacing broken a SHP9500, have three options. Recommendations?   
    Yeah I'll likely get the 9600. It's also $110 so it's the cheapest of the bunch.

    Not in Canada. They go for well over $200 normally here, and according to price history it's not common to see them go below $150 CAD. Guessing the three I mentioned aren't too good?

    Noirgheos reacted to Bombastinator in How does 125%/175% scaling work in Windows?   
    Depends.  There is bitmap text and vector text.  With vector text (the most common these days) the outlines of the text are vectors and then color is painted inside of the line.  Possibly with some dithering if stuff is really small in comparison to the pixel ratio of the monitor.   With bitmap text the letters are bitmaps and if you try to change their size they just make different size boxes.  This stuff can become blurry.  There’s not a whole lot of it around any more.  Vector type text was pioneered by Adobe in the 80’s and first put on macs which is one reason the entire graphics community went Apple.

    For the most part scaling won't affect clarity. But there are some applications that will become a bit blurry. But that's very rare.

    No, for the same reason that changing the font size in a word document from 12 pt to 15 pt doesn't cause blur. Windows scaling changes the resolution that things are rendered at, it doesn't render at a lower resolution and then scale the image up to to a higher resolution.

    If you run G-Sync and have it set to enabled for windowed and fullscreen apps it will cap the monitor at whatever window is currently active which can be pretty annoying. There is another option for only full screen apps so it only enables in Games.

    yes it should feel as smooth as a 60hz monitor on a 144hz display, not sure about the other one sorry!

    Should still be smooth, sometimes it can be choppy, as long as you're capped solid at 60fps I dont think you will have an issue.
    The monitor will stay at whatever you set it to, if you set it to 144hz no mater what it will be 144hz even if you get less than the refresh rate. However if you have a VRR it will automatically adjust the refresh rate to match the output of the device connected.
    VRRs like G-Sync and Freesync will automatically adjust your refresh rate to better match the FPS you are achieving in game to help smooth out the experience, so if you play capped at 60fps with G-Sync or Freesync enabled the monitor will have  a refresh rate of 60hz. 
    If you plan on getting a 144hz monitor and don't expect to get that much but you will still get over 60fps play with G-sync or Freesync on and your FPS uncapped to match the higher FPS or play without it enabled, and have 144hz with whatever fps you get.

    Noirgheos reacted to Fasauceome in If a game is capped at 60FPS while running on a 144Hz monitor, will I notice any abnormalities?   
    adaptive sync doesn't make it smoother unless you're dropping frames, but the titan in my PC can't really drop frames in those games. If you're maintaining 60 fps, there'll be no tearing and smooth gameplay overall.

    Noirgheos got a reaction from Delicieuxz in Does W10 LTSC include thing like "Fullscreen Optimizations" and all the Game Bar features?   
    Mostly lower performance, and most annoying of all, the majority of my games tab out once when booting up if they are set to Fullscreen, forcing me to tab back in. Minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.
     
    Also, I have that key set to 2 currently on Windows 10 Pro 1803, and that actually allows me to disable it in *right-click .exe* -> properties -> compatibility
     
    Without the key, the option doesn't even show up.

    Which are the majority, right? But why though? This happens on both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, so it can't be a control panel issue, unless both make the same error when in contact with Intel CPUs and some trigger that nobody knows yet.
     
    I'd rather not sacrifice my frames for visual quality, but if I have to...

    not much,  but you do you mean something like this?
     

    #include<stdio.h> int qty = 45; #define OP(X, Y) X * Y *(1.0 - (X > 50 ? 0.15 : (X > 20 ? 0.1 : (X > 10 ? 0.05 : 0.0)))) double total, u_p = 8.75; void main() {     total = OP(qty,u_p);     printf("%f", total); }

    Noirgheos reacted to reniat in Conditional Ternary Operators in C?   
    One thing to consider when it comes to ternarys: They are syntactic sugar meant to provide clean code in some places. If the ternary is hard to read or make things unclear, than you very likely should not use a ternary and instead break the code into if/else statements and intermediate variables that are properly names to make things more legible.
     
    99 times out of 10, "better code" is the code that is less complicated and still meets all requirements. "clever" code is almost always a negative unless it serves an actual purpose towards requirements. In other words, I would prefer this same code be written as:
     
    int qty = 45; double total, u_p = 8.75; double get_modifier(int qty) { double mod = 0.0; if (qty > 50) { mod = 0.15; } else if (qty > 20) { mod = 0.1; } else if (qty > 10) { mod = 0.05; } return 1.0 - mod; } int main() { total = qty * u_p *get_modifier(qty); return total; }  
    It's a few more vertical space sure, but it's a lot cleaner and easier to add to in the future. Also, the two version compile to nearly the exact same thing, but with a bit of recursion resolution added into the ternary version (at least in the latest MSVC compiler)

    Nah, I checked online measurements, and even did my own. They match up. I just personally find it a little loud. T2 is quite a bit quieter it seems.
     
    The 750W isn't that much cheaper where I buy, around $30. 650W I feel is a little too low, although I know it's still sufficient.

    Well, they better at least allow us to opt out. Losing any kind of performance after basing the purchase on reviews that are not proper anymore seems wrong. May also mislead future buyers.

    If this affects performance, there better be a way to opt out of it. I couldn't give two shits about a security bug that likely won't affect the vast majority of users.

    It uses PWM, so you'd have to look at what modulates that. You probably know more than me about messing with EEPROMs and that sort of thing, but I'm not sure how software-driven the temperature reading is on that PSU.
