I'm building a new watercooling setup using Fractal R6 case, however the old reservoir tube plexi and top plexi is cracked & started leaking (Alphacool Eisbecher 150mm D5).
Now my options are:
Option 1. Buy a new 105mm alphacol Eisbecher tube + Eisbecher top and just replace them, less work...
Does anyone know if it's true that the Benq version is much better versus samsung when it comes to eyestrain?
From what I have understood the Samsung uses PWM for under 30% brightness while the Benq never uses PWM.
The Samsung is slightly cheaper in my country but I might go for the Benq...
the Asus ROG Swift is by many considered the best TN panel made and it is 27".
my 24" TN panel has for me good colors, I'm sure a 32" TN would for me have good colors aswell if made by Asus or Benq.
fwiw I currently have a 24" TN in middle and two 23" IPS to the sides :)
I think you are saying this because the 29" version can be overclocked to 85hz without frame skip?
The 29" 21:9 is stretched out 23.3" 16:9, while the 34" is 27.3" stretched out 16:9.
looking as I currently use 3x 16:9 monitor setup: 23" 24" 23", I would like to replace 2 displays with one...
NCX do you know why the Qnix can?
It's still same panel and using DVI/DP/HDMI?
Still my impression is that a 85hz IPS / AMVA is not equal to a TN 85hz for FPS gaming experience because various reasons responce time and input lag being two reasons.
There should be noticable difference between 60 fps/hz and 87 fps/hz.
the difference from 60fps ---> 88fps is actually much more noticable then difference from 88fps ---> 144fps.
But I think another problem could be AMVA & IPS have inferior response time and input lag vs TN, so maybe that is...
thanks, thats a nice suggestion.
Seems like I will have to wait until Qnix or other Korea manufacturer releases the AMVA 32" panel with ONLY DVI so that it can be overclocked to 80+ hz.
If a IPS /AMVA display has 88hz with no frame skipping would it feel like a TN panel with 88hz?
I'm...
I'm eager to upgrade to a larger screen but was hoping to also game on the display aswell.
Is there any upcoming displays that will do atleast 80hz and are 30" or larger?
Has anyone tried overclocking succesfully and if so what hz and does it skip frames while gaming?
I'm considering either the Acer or Benq.
I think the sweet spot would be 80-88hz for me not sure if it's doable however.
Are AMVA panels considered better for eye strain versus ips?
So far my understanding is that AMVA does NOT have lightbleeding, badblacks, "shiny whites on black backgrounds".
didn't know that, one would think the colors should be equal considering they use same panel?
Have many owners of this monitors recieved bad dead pixels?
Edit---> looks like the Acer is OOS so I have to cancel the order.....
Is the Qnix version inferior to the Samsung/Acer/Benq?
I think the...
but I would only have to go into service menu if I physicaly press the powerbutton?
Or does idle mode (orange led power button) also warrant having to access service menu to adjust overshoot ghosting?
Edit--> As I said earlier I dit order the Acer, not sure if overshoot ghosting will bother me...
I ended up ordering the Acer :D
My understanding is that the Acer is "better" calibrated out of box for office use and watching movies?
I'm planning on still using my XL2411t to play competitive fps games like CS:GO, but maybe for other games I will try the Acer 32" display.
so in short would you say the Acer has better pixel responce time while the BenQ has less ghosting?
But I guess playing with OSD menu one could decrease the overshoot ghosting?
I'm considering getting either the Benq or Acer, I think one thing in favor of the Benq could be resale value...
is multitasking good on this display?
I'm considering replacing two 23" 16:9 displays with this one, from my calculations this 32" display if I split it in half each half would be equal to about 70% of the width of one 23" display so I think it would be just enough to serve as a dual monitor...
fair enough then :)
I guess then the korean overclockers with low input lag actually work well for games like CS:GO where you need fast aim and reflexes?
Still my understanding is not all of them OC well(?).
if there is no input lag added then the Korean OC should have this input lag at 96hz...
by high do you mean 80+ fps constantly?
but for gaming even if the input lag is low would it not be negated by the slower responce time?
From my understanding this is why even a 144hz IPS would be undesirable for gaming purposes.
not sure how much it's noticable while gaming however...
I don't consider 40-60fps acceptabel for first person shooter games.
I try to play atleast solid 80fps, I guess most ppl with IPS play at 60fps?
But if the gsync does more then take away screen tearing, it could be worth it still.
I'll have to head over to nvidia site and see the video then :D...
does gsync only solve screen tearing problem (horizontal line on display)?
or does it actually make gameplay smooth?
I'm considering the PG278Q for my crossfire watercooled R9 290.
But incase the gsync is worth the $ and work to make a sidegrade to SLI GTX 780 I might go for it.
you get the only display in the world atm that has 2560x1440 resolution and very lowe input lag and it has 144hz.
remember the Korea displays that may be able to overclock have higher input lags.
For both AMD and NVIDIA on GPU is displayport 1.2 needed.
it's possible AMD gpu's will...
Is it true that this is a panel made by ASUS them self?
So I can forget Benq coming with a much cheaper non G-Sync version of this display?
I'm starting to consider selling my R9 290's and buy a GTX 780 or 780ti, from the things Ive read the G-Sync actually is a good working product when not...
I'm actually rocking 2 Radeon R9 290, so for me the G-Sync is a waste, but maybe the AMD freesync is equal?
Maybe I should hope that there comes a non G-Sync display.
[B]btw, come to think of it, would it be possible to split a display with 2 DVI connectors in half and run eyefinity on...
Maybe I will have to settle for 1080p 144hz then, I might need a 5 meter cable for my current PC :D , maybe if I move my PC / monitor I might just barely make it with 3meter cable.
I guess for 2560x1440 144hz a DP 1.2 cable 3 meters / 9.84 feet is the limit then?
I did some calculation...
My DVI Dual Link cable is thicker then normal DVI cables, also it gives perfect picture @ 1920x1080 144hz. It's 99.99% copper.
But I guess I won't find out if my 5 meter (30ft) cable will work until I test it with a 2560x1440 144hz display.
I really like 1080p 144hz, incase my DVI cable does...
I guess this is the only upcoming 2560x1440 display with 144hz?
Currently running 2x R9 290 and a Benq XL2411t 144hz 1080p.
I think atleast it should would work with AMD cards?
btw if there ever comes a non G-Sync version, is a DUAL LINK DVI 5 meter cable capable of displaying 2560x1440...
I recently ordered Scythe Gentle Typhoon fans because I knew they are discontinued, the last order the fan was sent in a padded envelope, once examining the fan I see that one of the fan blades is cracked / damaged, also the fan wobbles/vibrates, compared to another gentle typhoon fan I have...
I have a 100mV undervolted 2500k and a undervolted 7950 with good Asic (starting voltage according MSI AB is 993mV).
Now could I run these things from a 120mm 45mm thick radiator?
Not sure yet how much the 7950 can undervolt, my guess is 900-950mV vcore @ 810core/1250memory.
I guess a MAX...
I have a 2500k that I was able to OC to 4.6ghz on my old motherboard sapphire pure p67.
Now with the Asus Maximus IV Extreme I can only choose between 16-33, I tried all the tricks I know (powerphase, LLC).
I even tried the Auto CPU levelup to 4.2ghz nothing is helping.
I guess the Mobo...
Recently I replaced fan in the PSU, The fan molex pressed the green pcb card and made it move.
My suspicion is either soldering got loose on powerplug or a component on that green PCB got damaged.
I have a soldering Iron + multimeter, I'm going to disassemble the PSU.
Now I need...
I own 2 windows 7 license and 2 PC's.
I want to re install windows 7 on ONE pc, how do I figure out which windows 7 is on which pc?
So in other words can I see the cd key in some way or other way figure out which is which?
