That's why I'm so interested in Hardwar Unboxed's test. Basically what they are doing is using the monitor for productivity, leaving on any screen protecting features that are non-obtrusive (like pixel shift and compensation cycles) and turning...
So... I have to ask... Why are people here so worked up about little details of how the character looks? This seems like some extremely silly whining. Unless the character has some real jank design, why does it matter the details of how they...
I wish they could get the 10% window amount up around where TVs are, because that seem to correspond pretty well with the kind of demand you get in most content. Sure there are some high APL thing that'll try for a lot more, but most stuff...
Which would have been fine... if Apple had sold it as such. If this was a "hey here's a dev kit/industrial product for people to start working with," it would be hard to give them crap. The price is in line with that and ya, this stuff has to...
For sure, I don't mind that boards CAN disable the limits. That's long been a thing with enthusiast boards is you can push limits, often beyond what is reasonable. However it shouldn't be that way by DEFAULT. The default should always be...
Well it depended on how good of a sample you had. While they had good yields and plenty of stuff ran faster, they only tested 300a units at 300. So if you had particularly bad silicon, it could still pass in that bin, even if it would have failed...
One of the first things I did when I built my 13900 system was to set back the Intel defaults in place. It shipped with much higher limits and it was always getting limited by heat. I was a little concerned about it running so hot under load, and...
And I think some people forget, you don't usually start good, it takes some experience and work. So Intel's drivers weren't banger out of the gate, that doesn't mean they have to be written off forever. A lot of things that are now good and used...
Fair. At this point my HDR use case is almost entirely games, so I just switch it on when I'm playing (actually most games know how to switch it on themselves). I also go for the more aggressive Level 3 dimming in HDR mode, which makes it more...
I still tend to leave mine off. You are right it usually isn't that big a deal, but I can see it particularly on sites like Hardforum that use middle gray colors. Also I don't find high contrast to be a real benefit on the desktop so generally I...
When you have HDR on Windows has a look at the monitor's gamut (which the inf file should tell it accurately) and if an application isn't HDR does mapping. It isn't always as accurate as a monitor's built in mapping so sometimes it is better to...
Second on the Trivex thing. It is the best optical quality material you can easily get your hand on in glasses and has the lowest chromatic aberration. It is better than some kinds of glass and if you can even find glass these days, most vendors...
Where I found that ABSL gets annoying is in games that have scenes with lots of text you are trying to read. In particular Octopath Traveler 2 has real issues. I played it on the couch because it seems like a good couch game and the couch is an...
Hey, it's a good number. Intel likes that number. It brings them luck.
:D
Real talk though, it is so obnoxious that companies turned node names in to marketing terms. I dunno who did it first, but nobody's node is actually the size they say it...
Also their base price is higher, which makes the lack of RAM less forgivable. Like I get if there's some cheap craptastic computer that is trying to hit a low price that has a small amount of RAM. I still don't like it, as it won't give the user...
Well there are two problems with bringing it back. The first is as you note it seems like when a new MMO comes out the gameplay is boring, and it is pretty generic, and usually buggy (New World being an excellent example).
However the other...
Ya I'm not replacing the S95B any time soon. It is not a bad TV, far from it, it's the best TV I've ever owned. However at some point I'll get bitten by the bug to get something better, mainly for more HDR brightness. When I do... I might pay the...
Absolutely and I am not at all hating on it. Trying to make a system look that good with 2KB of VRAM, and 1980s tech, is some next level shit. Just saying not to blame new things for getting big. Sometimes we get nostalgia for old things and...
