    AW3418DW

    The shape and pattern of your IPS glow you show on your pics is the same as on my new AW but I don't think my glow is as bright but I do notice it when I boot and it has a blank screen. In games or normal desktop, it does not bother me. Try moving it farther away and lower brightness to 30...

    AW3418DW

    I say IPS over VA. I own the Acer Z35 2560x1080 Ultra-wide with a VA panel which I 'early-adopted' and the moment I got it home the ghosting was so bad I tried to return it to Fry's Electronics and they told me flat out NO. I even RMA'd to ACER and they sent it back to me with a firmware update...

    AW3418DW

    I picked mine up a week ago at Best Buy for $800 plus $50 for a 4-year warranty. This monitor is rated as one of the best gaming monitors for 2018 so its a great deal. I got a panel rev A04 with no dead pixels and very minimal IPS glow. I was considering the new LG 34K950G but it is $1400 and I...

    Watch Dogs 2 Video Card Image Quality Review - Part 3

    I agree. TXAA shows its benefits in motion, I just love the look and feel of the game with TXAA. I also like how [H] does explain the pros/cons of each AA mode, that is why [H] is the best. I don't post a lot, but I've been a member of [H] forums a long time.

    Watch Dogs 2 Video Card Image Quality Review - Part 3

    So I did a fun experiment. I sped a dirt bike up & down a main drag in the middle of the city with lots of tall buildings. 1440p No AA: 50 fps 2x MSAA: 42 fps 2x MSAA + SMAA: 40 fps 2x TXAA: 39 fps I'm not sensitive to lower framerate and don't mind 30 fps. I am sensitive to texture...

    Watch Dogs 2 Video Card Image Quality Review - Part 3

    A great article. Personally, I like the 2x TXAA with WD2 and prefer it over all other modes. It gets rid of the crawling and shimmering. I don't mind the slightly blurred textures as I don't really notice that. What I tend to notice in games is crawling and shimmering textures so I'll use TXAA...

    DSR Laggy?

    I use 2400 dpi but I'll try bumping it up and see if it makes a difference.

    DSR Laggy?

    My Asus monitor is 1ms and I use a wired roccat tyon gaming mouse so I don't think input lag is a problem.

    DSR Laggy?

    That might be it, I'll have to graph my frametime with Precision. Thanks for the tip.

    DSR Laggy?

    I tried these games: Borderlands TPS, Fable anniversary, Skyrim, Batman Arkham Origins. I was wondering if anyone else using DSR on Kepler GPU's is seeing any lag playing games. Now, when I play these games, the FPS is above appx 45 fps, but still don't feel quite as responsive as running in...

    DSR Laggy?

    I've been experimenting with DSR and find it a bit laggy in the games I've tried, even at "1.2x." It's not a framerate issue because my fps are good, it just that something doesn't "feel" quite right. I have a 1440p display and mainly wanted DSR to sharpen games that don't offer good AA. I...

    DSR = Mouse Containment Issues?

    Same here. DSR and mouse has issues. I lose my mouse cursor completely sometimes if I Alt-Tab out for any reason.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    I agree that gsync is outstanding with Shadow of Mordor, I average appx 50fps with dips down to 36 during big stronghold battles and its all smooth with gsync.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    I have my PG278Q TN right next to my PB278Q IPS and the non-gaming image quality of the PG278Q is excellent.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    I need longer than 6ft length so I am now using the "8ft Monster Cable Digital Life High Performance DisplayPort Cable" I bought here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/594031-REG/Monster_Cable_122088_8_DisplayPort_Male_to.html This cable works great with no "out-of-range" errors though I...
