That integer app from steam does the same thing as integer scaling from nvidia, afaik. Same result anyway. Not blurry, much better than regular scaling, but not identical to a native panel at the same diagonal (though the difference is not that big, as i've said). Integer scaling is a good thing...

I've had a side by side comparison between a native 720p LCD TV and a native 1440p LCD pc monitor, both at 32" diagonal. Tested a couple of games, both 2d and 3d. For 2d, i've tested Braid, an old 2d game that is 720p fixed resolution. It looked a bit better on the native 720p panel TV. With...

How do you deal with preventing burn in on OLEDS if you game a couple of hours? Many games have fixed HUD elements...

Which of the two (quest, rift s) has the least amount of god rays and bigger sweet spot? My only experience with VR was with a Lenovo WMR and it was horrible.

Oh... Didn't thought about that! So what you're saying is i can only use 1080p@120Hz if i let the TV do the scaling (since the GPU will send 1080p signal), and that's not an option because tv scaling sucks. Bummer. Thanks so much for the clarification! So that only leaves me with the option of...

Looking for a cheap native 4K TV that i can game on at 1080p resolution with 120 Hz refresh rate and acceptable input lag. Will use the new integer scaling option in nvidia's panel, so the image won't be blurry (in theory, haven't tried it). VRR/freesync is not a requirement because those...

How's the 650F below 48 Hz? I've read that's the bottom limit for freesync on this one. On the 850F, i think it's 40 Hz. I understand both support LFC for freesync, does it work without issues?

How does 1080p content look on this monitor? How good or bad is the upscaling? Some older games or indie 2d games don't support higher than 1080p resolution.

Good news today, nvidia just announced they will enable gsync on all adaptive sync monitors through a driver update coming january 15. RIP gsync hardware, long live gsync/freesync/VRR. I was expecting this to happen eventually, but not so soon.

A bit offtopic, but isn't this "good enough" only if you can keep a stable 144 fps? The lower the fps drops below the default Hz limit, the worse tearing and stutter will get, afaik, without any gsync or freesync tech. At least that's my experience with a regular 60 hz lcd: i need to keep my fps...

How warm does it normally run? Does the gsync hardware/chip or any other parts get hot? I've read mixed opinions on this. I have no ac in the summertime and it will be on use almost 14 hours per day on avg.

Yes, but also newer games don't look like quake 1 anymore, do they? There will always be new stuff, graphic wise, to bring even the most powerful cards to their knees. A recent example is the new hybrid ray tracing tech nvidia is touting about. In 5 years there will be something else and so on...

Not sure if this is newsflash or not, and i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure almost everyone who reads this thread "does gaming", since the object of discussion is a high refresh, g-sync enabled monitor that's marketed as gamer oriented by its manufacturer. Also, good luck sustaining 240 fps...

A bit offtopic, but if the game doesn't work with Steam's overlay, one way to make it work with the steam controller is to use a third party program called GloSC.

This would really annoy me, i would imagine. Is this a common problem that cannot be fixed by fw upgrade or video cable replacement? It would be a shame if i would have to return the monitor just because of this. Another con i've read about is that the back led color wheel doesn't turn off when...

Please elaborate, i'm on a fence regarding g-sync.

Source, please? I hope they're not curved, like most of them are atm.

Does the metal insertion above the back of the GPU really improves the thermals of the GPU? By how much, assuming you did test it with and without? I wonder if its additional weight and cost really matter that much and wouldn't be better if you just removed it and instead punch a few ventilation...

I'm thinking getting this psu, but i'm not sure if i need the 600w model for a 65w CPU TDP and a 1060 GPU (120w TDP), non-oc. Maybe in the future i'll upgrade to an i7 processor with ~90w TDP, but for video cards i'll always stick to medium performance (ie not more than 150w tdp). I'm more...

Maybe a longshot to get an answer, but does anyone have this PSU (or the 450w one) combined with a Gigabyte 1060 Windforce OC video card? Any coil noise present?

Seems they will be ridiculously expensive, like ~3000 usd expensive: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12637/acer-and-asus-gsync-hdr-displays-listed-and-priced

Here are a bunch of them, in M3 and other sizes: https://uk.misumi-ec.com/vona2/mech_screw/M3301000000/M3301060000/ I've used the left menu there, they have about 6 types of M3 sized, torx (hexalobular) screws. Most probably other shops have something similar as well.

Either flat head countersunk or low profile flat head, like these Even ones that are higher profile would look better than the convex ones, i think: The convex screws used in Sentry version 1.x don't match the angular look of the case and remind me of cheap rounded rivets, that's why i don't...

Would it be possible to make the vertical stand a bit less taller (and maybe increase the angle of the feet, to maintain same stability)? I don't see why it needs so much vent space, unless it's placed on a carpet. Another idea would be to split the vertical stand in two parts (on the long...

For emulation, if you use CRT shaders, then the higher the ppi, the better. I would go for wqhd with gsync. You could try running demanding modern games in 720p, i think it will scale better than 1080p on a wqhd screen, since it's half of the native resolution (so every pixel will be doubled).

Any reason why the GPU is sitting on the right of the mobo, instead of the left (still facing up, but with the riser cable beneath the back of the GPU card)? I think this way the riser cable would be shorter (maybe cutting costs and be more reliable/easier to find replacement?) And i would...

Is there something wrong with the Accel cable? I was considering it, based on positive reviews, in case i need 10 feet of cable. How long is the included cable?

Can anyone tell me what's the length of the included displayport cable? 3 feet? 6? And can someone recommend me a problem free display cable (brand, model) for this monitor? I've read too many horror stories with bad displayport cables. I might need a longer, 10 feet cable.

Besides the high ppi required for accurate CRT shaders, another new LCD tech that's a must have for older emulated games is adaptive sync. See here why: I would get a 1440P VA/IPS 24"-27" with freesync and a radeon card, that would be the cheaper option. Max 75Hz is enough for emu games, you...

I wish it was a bit slimmer, about 66mm, like the Sentry. Other than that, i like it!

I understand, but i was asking if you've done any thermal test with the horizontal case inverted, ie with the fans sucking air from below (requiring 1/2 to 1 inch thick case feet), flat panel on top, so you can place a monitor on top of the case, for example; this will also reduce the perceived...

I guess the ssds are on the back of the GPU. Don't they get too hot? Also, have you tried placing the case horizontally with the vents underneath (with a clearance of ~2 cms)? I'm curious about the resulting temperatures.

What cooler is that? Thx.

And i remember the A4 case had more tech coverage than the Ghost S1, before the first campaign. :-s I could be mistaken, but that's the impression i get, that the Ghost S1 needs more exposure before the kickstarter, for that number of cases to be sold.

For the lazy ones, here's the direct link to his post: Custom_MOD FLEX mini :)

How much and when? :)

How thick are the side panels (where the vents are located)?

Can someone tell me the weight of the case fully loaded with pc parts? Thanks.

Aren't the air ventilation holes on the sides a bit too small?

Looks very nice, but it's a missed opportunity to make it smaller than Dan's A4, imo; why the increased width (133 vs 112)?
