Thanks!

Yeah. So, do you have any colorimeter to suggest to me?

It works even in fullscreen games. There was just one specific case that I noticed it didn't apply - started a fullscreen game (it was applied), alt-tabbed out of it, alt-tabbed back into it (the profile was not applied in this case), alt-tabbed out and back into it again and then it was applied again.

Yes. Created the profile via the built-in color calibration thingy so not sure if its the same, but I thought an icc profile is an icc profile so Edit: are you maybe referring to this? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/auto-color-management/

If a colorimeter would have helped with this, I would have bought one no matter the price, but I have my doubts as to how useful it would be given that I have been playing with this for a good while now. Edit: created a random .icc profile, turned red all the way up (just to see whether it applies or not) and it seems to be applied everywhere somehow?? Even in old games and just like, everything. Is this new or am I missing something.

How? As I said, an .icc profile is not gonna be useful in games.

Hi, I bought a new MAG274QRF-QD, but I have a problem where the colors just seem to be uneven. On default settings, there seems to be a reddish hue (especially visible on grays). So I lower it either in the monitor's OSD or in NVCP and bang - now there is a greenish hue. And when I kept lowering both, the display started looking really blue. What do I do? SRGB mode has done nothing but make the colors look washed out. Is there any setting for me to try out or am I f*cked. Also I don't want to bother with creating an .icc profile since that does nothing for games.

All I can say is it does not look at all like that BUT visibility around the corners can get poor inside dark interiors in games.

What do you think about this level of ips glow. It obviously doesn't look as bad in person as on these photos (especially the head-on photo), but still, I wanted some opinions. Monitor is MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD. Interiors in games can get a (sometimes good) bit dark.

Yeah I know, I use it because RDR2's AA sucks ass at 1080p.

Thank you. I was wondering especially about whether 1080p with DLDSR at 1.78x, which is 1440p, would perform better or worse than a native 1440p resolution. I only use DLDSR in one game (RDR2) and I was thinking whether to buy a real 1440p monitor, but I'm not sure if (and for how long) my 3070 could take it.

How does it not make sense to you? I am asking what would result in more fps, DLDSR 1.78x/2.25x on a 1080p monitor or a native 1440p resolution.

What?

Which of these three options would perform the best?

Transient spikes occur under load, not when doing LIGHT BROWSING. I NEVER had any issue whatsoever playing RDR2 with upscaling or RDR through Xenia (which is even more demanding). 650w is enough for my system.

The PSU is going to be 2 years old next month, and like I've already told you, my specs are visible in my profile.

Ran OCCT VRAM test for two hours, no errors.

What's the best way to check whether my GPU is failing? It seems to suffer from something mysterious. Last year, a few times, maybe 4 - 5, always at least 1 - 3 months between occurrences after booting the PC I was met with corruption - black squares and stuff like that appearing on the monitor RIGHT after logging into Windows. If it did not start right after logging into Windows then it would not happen for the duration of that session. Rebooting would fix this. During this time I've tried furmark, occt vram test, unigine superposition, heaven etc. Nothing. No errors or corruption. Then I updated to Windows 11 this January and literally nothing at all happened for 8 months of browsing the web, playing games even on demanding emulators until the day before yesterday when I had a mysterious BSOD (please check my previous post for the minidump file) while browsing with Firefox. Today, again while browsing on Firefox, the monitor flashed green for a split second. Event viewer didn't log any error for this flash. What gives??? What should I do (which tests should I run and for how long)? Thanks..

I've had Firefox flash green for a split second today. How should I check whether it's my GPU failing (which tests and for how long)?

RM650x is lower end? What?

My PSU is the Corsair RM650x 2018, you can see the full specs on my profile. No idea why you can't open the file, I can open it without any problems with BlueScreenView.

Hey, I've had a BSOD today with the stop code "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED". BlueScreenView has marked two files as red - dxgmms2.sys and ntoskrnl.exe. Could someone please take a peek at the minidump (https://files.catbox.moe/hl4c5j.dmp)? I'm on Windows 11 (clean-installed it this January) and I've only had 3 BSODs other than this one, and they were all caused by me playing with memory undervolting (I'm currently not doing any under/over volting/clocking at all and all of my drivers are up-to-date). It occurred while I was browsing. I remember having BSODs once every two-three months when I was on Windows 10 and even some artifacting that would only occur right after booting up the PC (it never happened while playing games) and the OCCT VRAM test never reported any errors.

Disabling VSync turns the sound into the typical high frequency whine.

I've no idea how to fix it when the things I've done did nothing.

It sounds similar to this. It's not the typical high-pitched sound.
