I don't need glasses, but I think it would be worth revisiting the eye doc for this issue specifically. Excuse my ignorance on all things glasses, but when you say 'transistional lenses' you mean lenses that change tint according to light conditions? I recently talked to my niece, who will be...

I got some mild eye fatigue after returning to programming today and spending the whole day on it. I had plenty of natural ambient light and lots of breaks. And it got me searching for information on this issue again. Searching for 'LED retina damage' turned up that a recent study from France...

If you end up trying one definitely do let us know how it goes in terms of eye comfort. I think it can't be stressed enough that we should try things for ourselves, despite what the internet says. I followed through with my hunch of trying and comparing different display types (IPS, TN, VA) to...

It's been a couple of more weeks. Still no eye fatigue from a VA monitor. And I did end up staying with the 32UD60, despite the uniformity issue. Eye comfort is way more important to me. And after years of dealing with eye fatigue from monitors, no way I would go back to IPS or TN. The lack...

It is still going well with the 4K VA monitor. No eye fatigue so far.

Is there a one-stop guide somewhere to all the curently available sync technologies? Here I was originally thinking that I absolutely needed a g-sync monitor for tear free gameplay with my nvidia gpu (barring vsync for the heavy lag), then found out that I can run without any sort of sync...

Much thanks cybereality and everyone else. Kicking up the fan and capping the gpu above the refresh rate is working well enough for my lowly gaming requirements. I'm happy enough not to have to be gaming at 30 hz on a console and without any major artifacts.

So there actually is some tearing going on with the gpu capped above the monitor refresh rate. But it has been reduced so much that it isn't bothering me. I can see it if I look up toward a tall structure in front of the sky and move my mouse quickly side to side. During gameplay I don't...

I'm curious why I'm not getting tearing without any sort of sync enbaled after capping the gpu above the monitor refresh rate. It didn't seem to matter if I set the cap to 65 or 80. No tearing either way. Maybe 61 will be ok.

I didn't notice your reply before my last post. I never use vsync. But I just noticed that when I cap my framerate above my monitor refresh rate I don't get any tearing. Since my monitor is 60 hz, I capped the gpu at 65 and all seemed well. Maybe I could go a bit lower too. I had the gpu...

Admittedly, I know jack about gpu's. I capped my frame rate to 65 (60 hz monitor) and there is no tearing. So then, why would I need any sort of adaptive sync at all? Might as well keep rocking the mini.

Of course I didn't think to adjust the fan speed. Setting the curve flat to 100% keeps the gpu hovering around 73-74. I suppose it will have some impact on fan life though. As far as the noise, game audio mostly drowns out the fan. I may still end up ordering one of those riser cables...

USB performance for audio is pretty miserable in comparison to PCI. I'm not just talking about playing audio files. Music/audio production requires low latency and stable performance. USB can work at much lower performance than PCI, but it is not a good solution for music/audio production...

I didn't think about that. And I might already have a fan around here to give it a try. Thanks too for the recommendation on the riser cable.

Google is working on their own non-Linux operating system right now called Fuchsia, based around the microkernel that Haiku uses.
