Any refresh rate and frame rate advantage you may have is practically negated by the fact the server runs on ticks at a much slower polling rate on top of how often the game itself runs a loop. So it doesn't matter who sees who first. It's whoever gets their shot in on a particular tick that counts. I can count the number of times with multiple hands when I ran a dungeon in FFXIV where I had plenty of time to drop an invulnerability cooldown only to die because I didn't pop it at the right tick. And no, I wasn't lagging, unless by some miracle all of those instances was from lag. The only reason I can think of why professionals use high refresh rate monitors is: Shifts blame more on the skill of the player than the equipment Placebo

Give or take I drive about 10,000 miles per year. At the prices around here hovering around $3.80/gal and getting 33 MPG average that's about $1,150/yr.

There are some parts about Linux that I like. I like the command line interface for its relative simplicity. Updating apps and the OS itself can be a snap. And of course, there's plenty of choices of distribution so if you don't like what you got, you can find another that may suit your needs. On the flipside, a glaring feeling I'm getting with Linux is a lot of development was basically "for experts, by experts." The freedom of choice comes with the chains of complexity.

If the website doesn't provide an HTML only version, then there's no choice. JavaScript provides a method to ask the server for data and to handle the data that the server sends back without needing to, from the browser's perspective, change pages. If this is the method the website uses, then it's impossible to have an HTML only version without changing how the actual page works. The only way for JavaScript to be a method for malware injection is if the server is retrieving content from a remote server that's tainted or the server itself has tainted code. Since it's usually the former, you can use browser extensions to prevent those scripts from running without breaking the website, unless the website cries at you and refuses to run for using "ad-blockers" Otherwise, you just don't trust the website and go find some other place to do your email from.

https://superuser.com/a/1071182 Should shed more light on this subject.

If we're talking about either NVIDIA or Intel becoming as destitute as AMD, then sure, neither of them had. However, Intel was on a track to become such at least in the CPU market back in 2000 when they had a double whammy in the form of the Itanium and Netburst. NVIDIA had trouble during 2003-2005 when they released the GeForce FX and it happened that the most anticipated PC game of the time (Half Life 2) worked a lot better on ATI's cards. So yeah, there were points were both companies were in trouble if they didn't do something. Intel decided to be shady about it. NVIDIA simply made a better product.

A case like that I feel is no more cramped than smaller microATX or regular ATX cases. If you were working with a sub 15L case, then I'd say you'd be in for a real challenge. The Founder's Edition should fit. Most cards except the super top-tier ones are typically 12" long and a lot of cases account for this.

Have you disabled the output options you don't want in Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound?

Oh, you wanted those specific attributes. ?

OP said their monitor only supports up to 60Hz through HDMI. They need an HDMI to DP adapter.

The slots are hooked up directly to the CPU, which only has 16 lanes total to split among the devices. Those 16 lanes don't go into a splitter/switch/whatever, it'd add a lot of cost to a consumer level board.

Those folders have gone through file system level compression. It saves space, but may take longer to look through it or open the files.

JavaScript usage doesn't guarantee malware.

If you don't mind spending extra money, you could get the following: Official adjustable charging stand USB-C to HDMI with charging adapter It'll run you about $40 USD.

While I won't argue the high price (except in cases where people insist no card is being sold for the base MSRP), it's been a struggle trying to get out what I'd argue is basic graphics history to some people. No GPU that was the first to implement a brand new GPU feature was able to use said feature without a large performance hit. And it took years before said GPU feature was more or less mainstream. Or heck, it doesn't have to be a GPU feature, but some other feature. And yet people think the GeForce 20 series should be an exception. They were in that position, but I was too naive (or smart?) back then to visit computer forums so I don't know the bickering that went on back then.

It depends. If the FPS is faster than the monitor's refresh rate, it'll still show image tearing but it's less noticeable. You can however, enable Fast Sync, which makes it so the monitor grabs the last rendered frame while still allowing the GPU to run as fast as possible, which helps minimize input lag. It'll help the dips look less jarring, but that's about it.

I don't know if it's the cause, especially since the GPU doesn't look like it's boosting, but I ran Shadow of the Tomb Raider with RTX on, since I know CoD:MW does have RTX, and got this result.

As long as the voltage the charger outputs is compatible with what the device wants (USB-C PD has several voltage profiles), the only thing that you need to look for is how many amps (A) the charger can output. The bare minimum you should get is whatever the original charger provided. Otherwise as long as any other charger provides a value equal to or higher than that, it's fine.

Run the game with GPU-Z on the sensors tab and see what "PerfCap" reason is reporting.

Or at least the AIBs need to offer an "upgrade program" People need to remember not everyone is on their level. If they can even install a new graphics card on their own, that's like a freakin life-time achievement to some people.

Yes. Part of registering the product is proving when and where you bought it (usually by way of sending them a copy of the invoice or receipt). If they don't have that information already, you're going to go through a barrage of questions first.

Registering a product gets you through the warranty process smoother, if they even let you start it without registering it first.
