    13th Gen problem...

    I would recommend checking memory settings and do full stability testing like if you overclocked. Might just as well check overclocking options - it is possible on these CPUs to get better multicore performance with lower power consumption and avoid over-voltage nonsense. Myself I haven't...

    AMD gonna AMD - Warning from Epic Games When You Launch Fortnite About Driver Issues

    Maybe it is only issue with RDNA3 or maybe it is graphics option specific. I haven't experienced any issues whatsoever and there on top of running problematic GPU drivers I am running unpatched 13900KF 🫣

    AMD gonna AMD - Warning from Epic Games When You Launch Fortnite About Driver Issues

    No issues in DX12 on either 24.9.xx or newest 24.10.1 Besides if you are pro you play in DX11 with details set to lowest so that grass or other details don't help to cover your enemies while lowering your frame rate to measely 120fps. Heck, you might want to adjust texture LOD and make...

    Arrow Lake 2024 (and beyond)

    No matter how you look raw performance difference between 7950X, 9950X, 13900K, 14900K and 285K is actually miniscule. It of course depends on what you do and how quickly you consume/utilize results of running tasks. And for efficiency it matters how much such tasks you run for it to make any...

    Arrow Lake 2024 (and beyond)

    11 gen wasn't worse than 10th gen necessarily. It added PCI-E 4.0 and had needed IPC improvement over Skylake. The issue was 11th dropped two cores, was as much or even more power hungry and competed in IPC with Zen3 - which was very power efficient and you could get 16 core variant which wiped...

    Arrow Lake 2024 (and beyond)

    I wonder why we don't have any review yet where E-cores are disabled. Seems like a no brainer to do in this case where poor gaming performance might be caused by games being scheduled on E-cores. Maybe it is not but it would make sense to do such tests. And gaming on only E-cores for that matter.

    Arrow Lake vs Bulldozer? Who had it worse

    I don't know... https://www.statista.com/statistics/735904/worldwide-x86-intel-amd-market-share/ I expect next data points on this chart to go down for Intel and up for AMD

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    Nope, just normal Rec.709 Colors outside Rec.709 don't really matter because Rec.709 covers most of the range of colors found in reality and besides most content is in Rec.709. For HDR the good target is DCI-P3 and displays we are talking about mostly cover it with 100% sRGB coverage. Content...

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    Just because games and pretty much everything else is still Rec.709 it doesn't mean that Rec.709 content looks the same between displays which can cover Rec.709 gamut. To my relatively trained eye QD-OLED and WOLED look completely different and it is nothing that can be changed with calibration...

    Arrow Lake 2024 (and beyond)

    My hope is Intel is cooking some kind of large cache CPU version otherwise they will loose all of the gaming market with such performance. At least I don't see biggest Intel fans who only got RL for gaming performance to bite the bullet if new CPU is slower than even 13th gen. Its like if I...

    Arrow Lake vs Bulldozer? Who had it worse

    Bulldozer used more power and was slower than Nehalem FX-8150 from 2011 vs i7-920 from... 2008 Also Bulldozer barely overclocked while i7 920 went from 2.66 (2.93GHz Turbo) to 4GHz easily. Sandy Bridge went from 3.4GHz to some times 5GHz and SB was still never CPU, also 2011 but Q1 Arrow...

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    Wasn't MLA supposed to eliminate this effect? All smaller 240+Hz WOLED panels should come with MLA There is almost no content using that wide gamut so do you mean it as gamut affecting how something like sRGB/Rec.709 looks like? Also have you actually visually compared your Asus to QD-OLED or...

    We need displays with 4 color components!!!1

    I had lengthy chat with GPT about eyes and perceived colors. GPT rather put its bets in SPD (Spectral Power Distribution) basket. It was hard to convince it SPD in this case apparently cause different responses from cones and rods depending on light energy. I brought point that SDP might...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I found amazing tool - ability to correct gamut using ICC profile AMD: https://github.com/dantmnf/AMDColorTweaks NVIDIA: https://github.com/ledoge/novideo_srgb I only tested AMD version. AMD supported this trick since long time ago but EDID had to have correct values with unchanged white point...

    Why can't 16:9 displays render ultrawide aspect ratios with no black bars?

    What you describe is just increasing FOV. You can test it by making screenshot in ultra-wide at default FOV and then making screenshots in 16:9 with FOV where you see about the same things on sides of the screen and comparing/overlaying ultra-wide screenshot on top of 16:9 image. Some games like...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Interesting: RGB OLED (Red-Green-Blue OLED) from JOLED Potentially classic RGB OLEDs with different emitters should be the best for image quality. Light spectrum of raw color OLED emitters should be just like QD-OLED - very narrow peaks. Unlike QD-OLED there is no need for lick picking quantum...

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    Given gamut and light spectrum of 38GL950 and my LG 27GP950 it seems its the same panel and with just different aspect ratio and size. These Nano IPS panels maybe don't have the best contrast ratio but they surely have lovely colors. I wouldn't say it is the best monitor but it is pretty much...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Samsung seems to be pushing refresh rates on their TVs with even first QD-OLED generation doing 144Hz wich is above what TV standards define. If they could do 240K 4K on 8K VA it is very likely we will get 240Hz QD-OLED pretty soon rather than 'years'. It is really just a matter of making...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    There is new firmware for MSI MAG 271QPX https://www.msi.com/Monitor/MAG-271QPX-QD-OLED/support#firmware From what I noticed there is more VRR flicker - noticed it in game Overload with the same settings I used before. Tested using RTSS and AMD frame limiter and it still flickers. Same for SDR...

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    Not the same profile of flickering though between different monitors... or even firmwares!!! Remember how I wrote I don't see much if any VRR flicker on MSI MAG 271QPX in this post https://hardforum.com/threads/48-lg-c3-oled-vs-the-best-ips.2036445/post-1045964604 ?

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    QD-OLED isn't perfect for text quality - there is obvious color fringing on fonts. On high contrasting horizontal lines in fact. Default ClearType looks better on these latest QD-OLEDs than on old WOLED subpixels but e.g. grayscale fonts look identical on RGB and these older WOLEDs but they...

    We need displays with 4 color components!!!1

Some people seem to have realized the difference is in the light spectrum but still ignoring cyan...

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    In my history of buying new monitors I was burned few times and got stuck with something reviewers advertised as an amazing display but otherwise had immediately noticeable issues and deficiencies. Always used them for a while and lost some money in the process selling them. Last two OLED...

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    I didn't see any smart TV features on gaming monitors to be honest. The bigger issue is dumbing down OSD controls, giving almost no control over basic settings and locking settings in profiles which have what looks like arbitrary settings which are not even consistent between different monitors...

    Is Anyone Playing Games On A i9 13900k/kf or i9 14900k/kf Without the Microcode update?

    You use voltage offset and positive at that so it is much worse than running at stock profile 😵 I run manual v-core at 1.235V so I don't use any built-in in processor vcore requesting mechanisms. Downside of this is that CPU won't reduce voltage even when idling and I cannot really utilize...

    Help me decide which of these 2 is best...

    Tons and tons of things to consider with displays - much more nuance than usually mentioned in reviews or by users. In the end there is no perfect display - at most you choose compromise you can live with. 1440p is still an optimal resolution for games at high refresh rates but today we have...

    48" LG C3 OLED vs the best IPS

    I do remember reading about QD-OLED's terrible VRR performance and seeing videos like this. At the time it did put dampers on my #getqdoled plans... if very high prices didn't already do it. To be honest I ordered MSI MAG 271QPX without much deliberations or reading about it. I saw "cheap"...

    Help me decide which of these 2 is best...

    32 inch 2560x1440 has exactly identical PPI as 24 inch at 1920x1080 so the so called normal PPI. If that is good or bad really depends on eyes acuity. Not all people can view e.g. smaller fonts comfortably. Serious maybe not. There is a definite improvement in motion blur and overall clarity...

    Help me decide which of these 2 is best...

    I would say IPS. I cannot stand VA panels and their gamma shift and response time characteristics. That said with just specs it is hard to say if these monitors are good or bad. There are much bigger differences between VA panels than IPS panels and people are sensitive to different issues...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    What is the source of this clain that QN900D uses DLG?
  32. XoR_

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    It is not integer scaling but some kind of "we deliberately made it blurry so it doesn't look too good" scaling. Also bandwidth is limiting factor. With DSC over DP 1.4a you can only do 3840x2160 at 240Hz at industry standard 10bpp. While you could quadruple that for 1920x1080 up to 960Hz you...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    If it could do 8K at 120Hz it could also do 4K at 480Hz. 8k has 4x pixels than 4K. Same with 4K and 1080p - you could do 960Hz at 1080p if you can do 4K at 240Hz. Where it comes to integer scaling so far the only display that I know of which intentionally did integer scaling is Eve Spectrum...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I did some tests and to me 240Hz mode is where I stop being able to tell difference between V-Sync and still remaining within VRR range. Maybe if I spend more time training myself in this art of mental ilness that is being bothered by input lag but for now I find 200+ frames per second a sweet...

    How often do you upgrade your main display?

    One option which of course not everyone might like is using dual monitor setup with OLED used for games and maybe videos and otherwise IPS as desktop-only monitor. Ever since mid-00's I run similar setups, usually with CRTs and if you like to watch videos while doing something else it is close...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I was specifically referring to 4K@240Hz vs 4K@120Hz which is 5.1ms vs 8.2ms Otherwise yes, you are right that QN900D is a step down where it comes to input lag. 6ms for 4K@120Hz is quite a bit better than 8.2ms - or maybe not something that is terrible but still tiny bit worse for new model...
  37. XoR_

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Even if there is some trickery involved in driving panel on QN900D in its 4K@240Hz mode it should not matter that much for as long as there is input lag reduction and better than 120fps motion clarity. It is not like its 4K panel which fakes 240Hz with 120Hz timings. More like "we don't know how...

    How often do you upgrade your main display?

    If your 32 inch Acer is anything like my Acer Predator XB271HK then the best reason to replace it is just image quality alone. I directly replaced this Acer XB271HK to LG 27GP950 and even bigger difference than exactly 100Hz higher refresh rate was simply how colors look and how little IPS glow...

    Asus PG27AQDP 1440p 480Hz WOLED

    You mean Asus? There is quite a few OLED monitors from them: https://rog.asus.com/monitors-group/allmodels/?items=69303 With 480Hz there is Asus PG32UCDP which is 3840x2160 WOLED panel but 480Hz is only available in special 1920x1080 mode which of course does not use integer scaling. I mean its...

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

    Not sure if tis DSC related or something else because on my LG 27GP950 I definitely had DSR and integer scaling when running 4K@144Hz on RTX 2070. When enabling OC mode 160Hz integer scaling was definitely gone. Not sure DSR. This monitor uses DSC for anything above 95Hz - which is exactly what...
