I'd go with fast and furious naming scheme 2 Ryzen 2 7

I remember reading somewhere that hdmi (at least older revisions) can't do full color, rgb, 0-255, 4:4:4 all that jazz when its also transporting audio. maybe newer revisions of hdmi have fixed that, i don't know that much about it, but are you running audio through hdmi? if so try not and see...

an i7 920 at stock might be a pretty bad bottleneck, those things should really be run at around 3.8~4.2ghz. its definitely time for a graphics card upgrade, but i would seriously take another stab at clocking up the cpu. At 4.2 ghz your bloomfield is just as fast as sandy, ivy and...

of coarse i haven't seen g-sync but isn't the whole idea, syncing the refresh-rate to the frame-rate every frame makes the motion smoother, so you can't tell your only at 30 fps. and the whole reason for that is because even the big hitting gpu's can't even maintain 60fps on the demanding...

Don't forget, for games that don't suit this controller, you can always use a ps3, ps4, xbox, xbone, or 3rd party pc contoller, or a keyboard and mouse.

its probably the matroska source filter your using. is the video h.264 MKV, and what media player are you using? if your using media player classic home cinema, try disabling the matroska source filter under options if its check, or check it if its not, there are different .264 encorers and...

sorry not trying to troll, just letting my imagination get the best of me with the idea we don't really know how far we need to take technology to be satisfied until we see it. especially when it comes to immersive entertainment.

is your monitor plugged into the motherboard or the video card? this is a very common mistake. if you are then you are using the integrated graphics, and not your video cards. if your frame rate never goes over 60 then you probably have vsync turned on. if that's the case, and your monitor is...

I've seen this graph before and think we need to be careful when looking at charts like this when talking about what distances from televisions (displays) where you can tell the difference in resolution. This chart is probably talking about live action video or film, captured from motion...

i've read HDMI is fine for TV's, but if you use a monitor and enable the speakers built in through hdmi, you lose 4:4:4 chroma colorspace, and will have your pc renering in full RGB but outputing in 4:2:2 to the display, its a flaw with hdmi, its fine if you send no audio through it though, and...

I really like virtual clone drive, its tiny and freeware. but Porno has a good point most emu's for disc based systems have built in iso loading.

I see a lot of threads with people concerned with clock for clock performance, and i think people are ignoring the new avx2 instructions which i believe will make a very big difference once all the software and games and emulators start using it over sse4. I'm still running an old i7 920 @...

i haven't had an nvidia card in a long time but with AMD cards hooked up to a TV they have some underscan turned on by default, the drivers assume the TV overscans which i pretty sure most don't anymore, if the resolution is set right it might be some underscan/overscan configuration options...

he might as well use vsync because at 30hz every frame above 30fps gets thrown away by the display anyway right? might as well not have an occasional 3.7 foot tear across the screen.

if you just spent X number of hours encoding your entire movie collection to not meeting DXVA standards, you "might" be able to retrofit the existing video's without reencoding. i searched "x264 Encoding Options for Hardware Compatibility & DXVA" and found...
