  1. I updated my GPU drivers after the stuttering began, to see if it would fix it. I can't think of anything I did that could have caused it, it genuinely just started happening out of nowhere. I get consistently low ping and no packet loss, so I don't think it is my internet.
  2. I've had my PC for about a year and a half, and this randomly started happening about a week ago. I7-11700F RTX 3070 16gb RAM 144 hz 1080p monitor I get 200+ fps in Valorant, CSGO, Overwatch, TF2, and others, and I've been getting micro stutters in all of them. I had no issues up until about a week ago. There aren't any programs hogging resources according to task manager, GPU and CPU temps are in the 50s-60s while in game. Any ideas?
  3. Total frame time is consistently 3-4 ms. Is this normal?
  4. I have an i7-11700F and rtx 3070. 16gb ram. 144hz monitor. I always get a consistent 300+ fps in Valorant. However, starting about 2 or 3 weeks ago, my game has suddenly started feeling very unsmooth. I swear it feels like I'm getting a super consistent 80 or 90 fps, despite getting 300+ fps on an 144hz display. I've tried reinstalling valorant and updating graphics drivers. I don't have this issue in any other game. What could be causing this?
  5. Thanks for the response. Is it a guarantee that I would get better audio quality for first person shooters and music if I went with the PC38X using my PC's built-in DAC vs a "gaming" headset that is USB?
  6. What's the difference between the Sennheiser PC38X and the Epos PC38X?
  7. Don't really know anything about audio so bear with me. I've been looking to get a headset for gaming and for music. It needs to be a headset with a mic, using a separate mic won't work for my use. One that stood out to me was the Drop + Epos PC38X. Are these good? Another thing I'm confused on is whether or not I need to buy a DAC. My current motherboard is the B560 DS3H AC-Y1. Does this have good enough on board audio? If I do need to buy a DAC, what would be the best headset + DAC combo for around $200? Thanks in advance.
  8. Which of these headsets is best? I'm looking to purchase a wireless headset and these seem to be the best for me. Thanks in advance.
  9. I'm looking to purchase a wireless gaming headset. I mainly play FPS games on PC. What are some of the best options? I've seen the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro recommended quite a bit, is it good? Thanks in advance.
  10. What's the best prebuilt PC I can get for 2k or less? I pretty much exclusively play FPS games such as COD, Battlefield, Valorant, and Overwatch. I have a 144hz 1080p monitor. I'm in the USA. Thanks.
  11. I7-6700 GTX 1060 3gb 16 gb ram H170-Pro motherboard 128gb SSD 1TB Hard drive This is my current PC which I am looking to sell. It is a prebuilt that I bought back in 2016. What would be a reasonable price for it?
  12. Are there any significant differences between the Acer Nitro VG240Y and the MSI G241? The latter is out of stock on Amazon.
  13. Thank you so much! This seems to be the best monitor that fits my needs.
  14. Does the MSI G241 support 144hz over HDMI? The BenQ one you linked does not.
  15. I have a gaming laptop that only has an HDMI 2.0 port. The Amazon reviews for this monitor suggest that since it has HDMI 2.0 it supports 144hz over HDMI. Is this true? If it is, is this a good monitor to get? I want to play at 1080p 144hz in games like Valorant, CSGO, Battlefield, etc. Thanks in advance.
  16. Is this a good monitor? The reviews say it works with HDMI. https://www.amazon.com/Acer-VG240Y-Pbiip-FREESYNC-Technology/dp/B07VFPYRP3/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=144hz%2Bmonitor%2Bhdmi%2B2.0&qid=1624827378&s=electronics&sr=1-4&th=1
  17. Is there any other way to get 144hz on a laptop besides an HDMI cable? Do HDMI to displayport adapters work?
  18. Yep, my laptop has HDMI 2.0. So would any monitor with HDMI 2.0 work?
  19. Are there any monitors that support HDMI at 144hz?
  20. The monitor has an HDMI 1.4 port, which should support 144hz. And yet, a bunch of people in the reviews and qna sections on Amazon are saying it doesn't support 144hz over 1.4. I have a gaming laptop with only an HDMI port so I need it to support HDMI. Thanks in advance.
  21. Which of these two monitors do you think I should get? I want to spend $200 or less. The first is up to 165hz and has G-sync but only has USB 1.4 and doesn't come with an HDMI cable. The second is 144hz with HDMI 2.0 and does come with an HDMI cable. https://www.amazon.com/VG248QG-G-Sync-Compatible-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B07TNM8L6S/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&linkId=d4870f2dceb29ad22c9777188cefe7bb&language=en_US https://www.amazon.com/Acer-VG240Y-Pbiip-FREESYNC-Technology/dp/B07VFPYRP3/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=144hz+monitor+hdmi+2.0&qid=1624823020&sr=8-3
