    165Hz vs 240Hz

    I don't think I have the perfect explanations that cover every possible reason for what you're experiencing but here's my thoughts on your lack of tearing in certain games. There's two things that are both called triple buffering. 1) The default Nvidia driver's vsync apparently is triple...

    165Hz vs 240Hz

    I'm taking this old thread back on topic because no one seems to be thinking about the fact that which native Hz monitor you choose determines your options when you have to work around VRR brightness flicker. OLED and VA have VRR flicker and many games won't have consistent enough frametimes...

    They're lying to us about DP 2.1 (DisplayPort)

    The data rate calculator on LTT forums says DSC reduces data rate by a factor of 3. How is that happening while still being visually lossless, without adding significant delay and processing power requirements? Edit: it doesn't answer my question, but here's a quote from displayport.org's FAQ...

    They're lying to us about DP 2.1 (DisplayPort)

    Avoiding DSC is not just about image quality, if Simon (TFT Central) and his peers say they can't see a difference I believe them: DSC is visually lossless. There's other reasons mentioned in the video why people may want or need to avoid DSC. It's another variable with the potential to cause...

    They're lying to us about DP 2.1 (DisplayPort)

    I wanted to make sure the thread can easily be found in searches regardless of whether a search does well with or accepts 2 letter queries or how many other kinds of DP people get into. Thanks, added to the first post.

    They're lying to us about DP 2.1 (DisplayPort)

    There are 3 different bandwidth sub specifications of DP 2.1. Beware of marketing material that just says "DisplayPort 2.1". You should know when / if you actually really need the higher bandwidth sub spec though, see video for details. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIgHNP-9SvY I'm in no way...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Or not.... it was only temporary: sometimes it doesn't have the issue and that can mess with test results. It turns on twice again every time now. I don't care anymore because what re-enabling HDCP did do was make the process much faster. It only takes 9 seconds instead of 18. I can live with...

    Thank you. Temporarily using your settings, the problem persisted. Until... Thank you for saying that, you reminded me that I had disabled HDCP in registry to solve a problem: with HDCP enabled the Spotify website (not the desktop app) on occasion randomly turns off the monitor until you turn...

    Thanks. What firmware version are you on and what's your GPU? Check out this post on Guru 3D: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/a-caller-specified-the-sdc_force_mode_enumeration.437153/ Since my buddy's 32" Gigabyte turns on twice too I thought I'd check if this dude too has a Gigabyte...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Eyejoy, would you mind doing this test I mentioned? Given the occasional 'blackout' when using the snipping tool, I'm not convinced that only using standby is a full solution... I'm going to use it this way for now and will keep an eye on any further blackouts. If they happen again and there's...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    First let's see if this is an issue I'm having or one that everyone with an FV43U on Windows is having but not noticing. While in Windows 11 (or even 10), use the remote or physical button on the monitor to switch it off. Wait a few seconds and turn it back on again. Does it start to show the...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Sorry to hear that, I feel your pain, but let's make one thing abundantly clear. A buddy of mine with a monitor not from Gigabyte has the same experience with his RTX 4000 series card. If you've read my post through to the end you know my conlusion, and his, is that this is a driver issue and...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    As of recently when I switch it on, my FV43U displays the signal for a few seconds, goes black again for several seconds as if on standby, then displays the signal a 2nd time and only then it'll stay on. The process takes 18 seconds. As if it loses the signal a few seconds after the first...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    For what it's worth, I don't recall ever having turned mine on more than once to get it to display the signal from my 3080. When my PC is cold booted it does take a while before it picks up the signal. Longer than my 27" secondary monitor. As far as the cable goes it's not the wiring but the...
