  1. I do not know why your new premium TN panel would have less pop than the old TN panel you're using. I'm currently using a 24" benq and am looking to upgrade as well, deciding between a 24" and a 27" like you. I just want to know if the 3 that replied even read the post? His 24"(vg248qe) is a TN panel, his 27"(pg278qr) is a TN panel. He asked what might cause the variance in color between the two TN panels. He did not ask which panel type would you suggest, he even stated clearly that he was not interested in IPS panel monitors.
  2. okay thank you, rivatuner it is!
  3. just got a 165hz pg278qr and have heard that you need to set the fps cap to a few below your monitor max rate. where do I set this fps cap? in game settings or in the nvidia refresh rate? or both? thanks
  4. Hello, I have some experience overclocking gpu, but there are a few things that I'm still completely lost on. I just installed my new 1080ti strix and see this when i first open afterburner. I could move forward and overclock the gpu but I'd rather make sure I understand everything so I can get the best performance possible. So where does 240 and 405 come from? and is it good? or is that what it starts at? I know what core clock and memory speeds are, but i dont see where 240 and 405 come from. Thanks!
  5. really? thats pretty surprising. I would have assumed they'd have the default set to a safe range and leave voltage adjustments for the overclockers that want to push past the guaranteed safe voltage. Maybe they just figured the gpu voltage adjustments don't push temps high enough to cause damage so they just set it to the max by default? That's good to know though, I'd probably have spent hours trying to figure out why i can't adjust it when I get my TI strix in a few days lmao. Thanks again for all the info, you da man
  6. Okay got it. And last question-- when do you alter the gpu voltage during your overclocking process? I've heard a ton of varying opinions on whether or not to even touch it. Thanks!
  7. whats your method for finding memory overclock stability? just increase until you see glitches in the picture like the clock speed or what? and thanks that explained it perfectly
  8. This is going to sound like such a dumb question... where does the 2k+ number come from? I always see people post numbers like that but I'm missing something. FE is 1480 MHz -Real Boost Clock-1582 MHz I believe. So I look at that and assume it should be 1582+120=1802. So where does 2025 come from?. and if its +120 clock and +300 memory then where does the 278 and 405 come from? Also when would you suggest altering the gpu voltage when overclocking? Thanks for the input! P.S.- I'm not retarded, I've just always overclocked based solely off of the +mhz offsets and power limit in afterburner to find my stable range
  9. okay thanks for the input, nice to have a place to start when i begin testing it
  10. okay thanks im on the formula board so i have the same bios as you. i'll try to set it to adaptive mode with negative offset like you said thanks!
  11. Hello, I'm going to be running my 7700k at 4.9 ghz 1.28 volts, and may run it at 5.0 ghz at 1.34 occasionally. I've read that its okay to leave it overclocked at all times, but am curious if it would be better to put it on adaptive mode? It sounds like it would be the way to go, but I've read a lot of people having issues with it. One issue I've read about multiple times is where adaptive mode will only go higher than the set voltage, but never drop below the set voltage. Maybe I've taken the adaptive term too literally, but I would assume it is intended to lower volts when cpu is idle(or light load), while increasing voltage when under heavy load. Am I wrong? Thanks for any info!
  12. Hello, I haven't seen a post about this and I'm curious where I should be expecting to land with overclocking results on the 1080ti strix (if I ever get it) So anyone who has overclocked their 1080 TI, what kind of results have you seen? +mhz core clock? +mhz memory? I'll assume it's still best to use max power limit. Any suggestions on whether or not to touch core voltage? I've seen a lot of varying opinions on this and would like to see more. Please mention your gpu and cooling setup with results. Thanks!
  13. Where are you from? i want to get a call from my local supplier : (
  14. lol i wish, looks like im stuck until i figure out the cooling though
