  1. Update : I am not going crazy. Found a test pattern image to test for 442. I can clearly see that red, blue and combinations of these smear.
  2. Howdy Y'all! I recently replaced my AOC 1440P monitor with an ultrawide model (3440x1440p), and I've noticed that reds are smeared almost no matter what combination of settings I pick on the monitor and in nVidia's control panel. So far the only way to fix it has been to enable Freesync Premium on the monitor and then force Gsync on in the nVidia panel - which is an issue cause the panel can't handle Gsync without very noticeable flickering. I vaguely seem to recall Linus and co. doing a video on signal compression, but surely I should be able to avoid this with a monitor made for 3440x1440p@144hz Lenovo G34w-10 using the included DP cable to plug into a 3080? Monitor is set to DP1.4 I've tried toggling Overdrive to Extreme and Off I've tried toggling Freesync Premium on/off. I've tried toggling Gsync on and off. I've tried changing from 8 to 10bit, from Limited to Full and from RGB to 444 and 442 (I imagine this is the fallback that's happening? I don't know how to test bandwidth. I can just tell clearly in Discord that red text is smeared weirdly in the same way that I remember Linus showing on an old video?) Help is appreciated. I'm kind of tired of having to toggle Gsync off in the nVidia control panel every time I hop into a game, and then back on when I sit on desktop for clear text.
  3. I'm due to receive my fancy Sentry 2.0 case tomorrow, and I'm in the market for a super short GPU for it, that'll actually fit with a 120mm AIO installed as well - That leaves roughly 170mm in total, which basically means short single fan cards only. Either going with a 8700K or 8350K depending on if the former gets too hot at stock (both delidded leftovers from previous builds) So the question - Which "ITX" GPU should I buy? My immediate thought was something along the lines of the 1660TI Phoenix (Since I've already used one of these for my wife's PC and they are pretty short), but I see that the 1660 Super cards are becoming a pretty good competitor here. Anyone have personal experiences with any of these, or know of a benchmark lineup of some sort? It's not exactly the most high profile type of GPU, so I haven't been able to find as many reviews that can be compared fairly.
  4. I've been pulling my hair out just a bit, trying to get my fancy new 8700K running 5Ghz stable or at all for that matter. I've tried reading and replicating other people's settings, but the Z370 Taichi that it's on seems to have some somewhat different names and settings for everything, so I either stall on Windows boot (spinning logo), or don't get the result I'm after (Currently achieved running 4.7Ghz ... on 5Ghz setting /w Prime) These are my current settings with the 4.7/5Ghz result - This is running on an open loop, so there's plenty of room for OC and voltage (Currently getting around 60C with the 4.7 result according to HWInfo) Can anyone experienced with the CPU tell me if any of my settings are completely out of whack, and possibly suggest better ones? (I apologize for the messy camera shots - Lemme know if they're too hard to read) https://imgur.com/a/tAUvPan
  5. The "speaks french" seems... very weak. It's pretty obviously a translated tweet in response to a french article on the Case project from a while back. That being said - Definitely scam worried at this point.
  6. So I'm putting together a shopping and checklist for the 8700K that arrived on my doorstep the other day, and wanted to check in with a second opinion before I go ahead, in case I forgot something. - 8700K (Obviously) - Delid Mate kit - Conductonaut (I assume 1g is enough, provided I don't mess up too much?) - Silicon to re-glue it up (since scraping the old stuff off will lower the ceiling on the IHS too much if not reapplied?) - Nail Polish? My main concern is needing some electrically safe nail polish, since the 8700K has some contact points dangerously? close to the chip, in case I oversaturate the surface ever so slightly and it makes contact with those points? (I am guessing here, since I can't find all that much information about the 8700K and delid requirements. Note - I am not expecting to use a Monoblock, so the IHS height might not matter, and I could technically just super glue the corners, so I could re-open it easily later on?
  7. Limiting the benchmarks to 8GB, while retaining Dual Channel interface obviously. Edit: And sorry for the late reply - Apparently I haven't set up notifications properly.
  8. Doing some benchmarking, and wanted to see how 2x4GB would perform, but I am in the privileged position of only having 8GB Sticks handy. I know you can limit memory allocation in Windows, but I don't know at all, if you can specify where it allocates from to avoid getting 1x8GB worth in Single Channel.
  9. A washer between the screw and M.2 seems like a great solution. I'll try that.
  10. I recently bought a "cheap" Samsung, off-brand M.2 NVME drive in the 2280 length. Used the screws included in my Gigabyte motherboard box. Everything seems to screw in and hold in place...and then suddenly the drive unhooks and turns outwards. Anyone having this problem? Is it possible to get longer/wider screws that fit... whatever socket those screws use to force the drive down at all times? It's a minor annoyance since the drive keeps running, but considering I have a glass panel case, I'd rather not have to take it off every so often just to push the drive back in. Also worried they might go loose and fall during transport to LAN.
  11. Hi everyone. Long time viewer and occasional youtube commenter here. I need your expertise with my Genome Deepcool case - specifically finding out how the 140mm fans are supposed to be mounted onto it. I've tried taking it apart but I can't seem to figure out how, or where they expect me to mount them, and I haven't been able to find any press examples of this either. The case includes a 360mm radiator where the 3, 120mm fans are mounted. I assume these will have to get off, but seeming as they are the width of the rad, and that I can't seem to find any mounts that extend beyond that... well... halp! Case in question - Note the "3x120mm OR 2x140mm" part for the top fans. http://www.deepcool.com/product/gamerstorm/2016-01/6_4561.shtml
  12. I'm currently running an odd combination of an i7 4770K and a 760GTX - Yes you read that correctly. Basically I have been waiting for the new generation of cards from both companies to come out before I went ahead with a GPU upgrade...and it's starting to hurt ever so slightly in newer games. Especially games in production like ARK. Those 20FPS at 1080P at lowest settings.
  13. CAT cables do though. As far as HDMI, DP (and other cables) it is much more important to pick cables that actually adhere to the standards set, instead of cheap knockoffs that cut corners. That doesn't mean you have to go out and buy gold plated cables... but maybe not the cheapest one you can find. There IS a difference in most cases.
