Huh, that's weird.
 
And I'm guessing capping it in-game doesn't work? I've capped it at 60 Hz refresh rate (in the settings in GTA V), and the game was quite choppy, but the Xbox Game Bar whatever overlay still showed 170+ FPS. It was choppy though, but maybe GTA's limit implementation is broken?

Holy shizz dude it's completely true. I limited the FPS in RivaTuner to 60, no lag. Limited to 144, no lag. Limited to nothing and it stutters like crazy.
 
WHAT THE. I'm honestly speechless. I never thought having a "too good" PC could cause this.. Thanks a lot, my guy!

there's a bug in the RAGE engine that will SEVERELY affect your frame rate if it goes above ~170ish.  Use riva tuner to cap the frame rate to 165.  That's what i have to do
 
Edit: Can't remember the specific Framerate that wakes this bug up.  But it's been well documented over the years

Sick build! Looks really good

Hello people of Linusland, you might recognise me from SFFland!
 
Thought I would show my Lone L5 build here in all of its glory. It's a tiny little monster I use for my typography/graphic design practice, works like a dream! Plus it's slient! I went with this setup due to the desktop being able to fit into a backpack which is handy to have if you do design. I hope to add another M.2 in the near future.
 
I've currently got it paired with a Wacom Cintiq Pro 13, but a note to GPU manufacters. Please add a USB Type C port onto a Low Profile GPU so I don't have to use the Wacom link please.

Here's some pics.

Yeah I already use iperf3 to test connection speeds with. Works wonderfully!

PLEASE make an original Mac Pro casemod video. There are many online, but none are detailed.
You can buy relatively cheap mods (basically aluminum brackets), so you can install various things, such as 240mm water coolers, and so on.
 
This is not an easy task, but I would love to see Alex and Anthony (my two favorites) work on a Mac Pro Hackintosh. It's literally a display piece if you make it right.
 
Cut the side so you can fit a glass or plexiglass side panel instead, while still using the original side panel.
 
I guarantee millions of views.

I run it at 4.8 GHz when I need to run certain tasks. 4.0 GHz is my everyday overclock, as I don't need the extra 800 MHz for every single task.
The fact that you blame it on me like that, proves you're a narrow minded thinker.
 
Always jumping on conclusions, when you don't have any proof. What a shame.

The temperature is not a problem for me right now, so I guess I'll just have to wait before I send it in. They do offer 5 years warranty, which is quite nice to be honest.

That's all good, the point is they're mostly just trying to "hack" a better-quality 1080p video. If you downscale a 4K video to 1080p and upload to Youtube, it will look a certain way. If you upscale it back to 4K and upload to Youtube, it will look better. Not because the actual video file gets any better by being upscaled from 1080p to 4K (the extra information was lost, permanently, in the downscaling process), but because Youtube gives it a higher bitrate.

Yeah he does apparently. Although it's the same sensor as the RED Epic Dragon. 
 
They have to upscale it again, otherwise YouTube wouldn't show the 4K option. You cannot upload a 1080p video and it will say 4K on YouTube. It's simply not possible.
 

Exactly. I really honestly think they spend waaay too much time thinking this through. They should shoot at 4K, edit at 4K, forget all about downscaling anything, and just ignore that scrubbing through video takes a bit longer, like it does for anyone who edits 4K anyway.

Yup they seem to think it will be "as sharp" that way, they also seem to upload at a terrible bit rate and their colour grading is shit
 
maybe they do it to speed up rendering and editing....seems silly when he has all those staff

Well it isnt everything, but its EXTREMELY important
 
thats why I record all my videos at 220mbps pro res, instead of the WANK 25mbps my camera records at

yes this is fair, but it will make better looking 1080p content...

Nono, I'm sure they use their 4K camera, but they shoot at 1080p downscaled from 4K. At least for their normal work. It's no way near 4K quality.
 
Yes this is 100% correct. YouTube will give the video a higher bitrate at a higher resolution, but the actual quality compared to native 4K will not be the same.
 
I think we all can agree, that LTT should step up their video quality game. I am tired of watching 1080p quality videos when I press 4K. I'm not complaining, I would just like 4K to be 4K and not upscaled 1080p.

Adding "word-break: break-all;" to td will fix your problem.
But I would highly recommend you to use definition list instead of tables.

Some people on here are knowledgeable and civil, just have to get past all the kids, idiots and know it alls (and trolls)

Very nice thread, Glenwing. It explains so much in true words.
 
I will definitely link people this thread in the future, when they think their new 800 Hz TV will look insanely good, when they launch CS:GO.
 
Bookmarked for good.

Welcome to the Displays section, where everything's made up and the specs don't matter! 
 
(EDIT: Please note this thread is quite outdated at this point; eventually I should get around to making an updated version, but that day is not today :P)
 
Response time and latency

Do you need a 5 ms response time or less for gaming?

Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) – 1,000,000:1+ "Contrast Ratios" are Just Made-up Numbers

"You can't get audio through a DVI port!"

Isn't HDMI limited to 60 Hz?

"Humans can't see more than 60 Hz anyway!"

"Why are there TVs at 600+ Hz when monitors don't go beyond ≈144 Hz?"

"Does 1920×1080 scale perfectly on 3840×2160 (4K UHD) monitors? What exactly happens when you run a non-native resolution on a display?"

Does DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync/AMD FreeSync require a new monitor or will existing monitors be upgradeable with just a firmware update?
Also, if a monitor has DisplayPort 1.2a input or higher, does that automatically mean it supports DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync?

PLS and AHVA vs. IPS

IGZO vs. IPS

LCD vs. LED

AMOLED vs. OLED

Quantum Dot vs. OLED / IPS / etc.
 

I'd sacrifice the battery for Chrome extensions and sync anytime.

They fixed my recent bug submission, so I assume it's worth a shot. Funny how 2160p60 works fine on YouTube.. as well as 1440p60... but 1080p60 on Twitch? Hell no.
 
Throwing that out there, I think it's Twitch causing the issue.

I have been waiting for this to come up... Why on EARTH did he not solder the PC power switch to the switch from the bomb? Like honestly, he would've saved himself so much time and struggle. The switches just connects the circuits, so surely it could work if you connect each circuit..? This honestly made me kind of mad.

You are You need to look at amperage when you want faster charging. Wattage tells nothing about how fast something charges, as it's just V * A. Voltage times Amperage.
Always look at amperage. As long as it's USB, it will never exceed 5 volts, so you should be fine.

This comment hurt my brain slightly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Okay it hurt my brain a lot.

I see. Thanks a lot for the posts, guys! I didn't think newer laptops did this
 
Thanks!
