    Pixel 4

    Ah right... I stand corrected! But presumably, it will. Though the dev seems a bit burnt out unfortunately, and many of us hope he gets more to help him soon.

    The only reason to get is a Pixel is that GrapheneOS supports it.

    Optical inaccuracy of "curved" displays?

    Thanks for your input... Yes Armenius - that is what I meant: or as you said the screen is curved along the x axis, but 100% flat along the y axis. I realize, of course, that the x axis is about twice as long as the y axis. However, for the sake of accuracy, that would mean there should be some...

    Optical inaccuracy of "curved" displays?

    I'm not yet convinced that curved are more optically accurate. I see a good argument that the y-axis is more accurate due to distance from the eyes. However the visual inconsistency created by no curve in the x-axis seems to make a flat screen's inconsistency more naturally corrected for by the...

    Best for Text (clarity & eye-strain)

    Necro'ing seems reasonable for long-term eye strain research... Current specific models best for reading/typing for hours? I realize it seems picky, but I want at least 144hz for better scrolling / UI perceptions.

    Best monitor for reducing eye strain?

    In the case of so-called "necros," I think a long-term eye strain study is a reason to keep old threads around: Which monitors have you experience the most pleasant usage from for long periods?

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    I'm more curious about AMD's DirectGMA so I can dedicate different GPUs to different VMs on the same display! Hopefully it gets some love soon.

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    Not on Linux, I'd say.

    360hz Asus Rog Swift

    It as better because the CRT didn't have the GtG latency. There have been other forms of latency in LCDs since then - which seem to finally be getting reduced enough to compete with a CRT. Not to mention the quality of black on CRTs...

    360hz Asus Rog Swift

    Yep! I don't know what is up with people's faculties... As if they don't notice or care and then rant about it online. So annoying! It is like socialism for the senses! "Everyone use shit hardware because my senses are damaged."

    AMD’s High-End ‘Radeon RX’

    Any DirectGMA or SR-IOV? Hopefully will be able to have 1 GPU per VM in a more elegant way soon. Seems the only way is Looking Glass software now.

    It's a weird time for power supplies

    I haven't done research on PSUs in about 10 years... Which are considered the best today? PC Power & Cooling & Seasonic?

    Any idea if there's other sources of latency in a display like XG270 that the specs aren't accounting for?

    I can't wait for 500hz OLEDs, so I can finally stop missing my CRTs! Nice to see the chief BlurBuster on here!

    Intel has PCIe 4.0 Optane SSDs Ready, But Nothing to Plug Them Into

    Won't increasing your RAM still beat this Optane, at least on Linux?

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

    What evidence is there that companies didn't kill the CRT due to it not having the profit margin that the LCD has... Versus Not making enough profit to keep a company running? The LCD killed the CRT, the CRT did not kill himself ;)

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

    The top Eizo & Iiyama CRTs seemed better than any Trinitrons I've seen. Anyone own both an FW900 & either and Eizo or Iiyama? The Iiyama visionm pro 514 is the best I've seen.

    13 Major Vulnerabilities Discovered in AMD Zen Architecture, Including Backdoors

    AMD Confirms Zen 3 Brings Entirely Brand New CPU Architecture, Delivers Significant IPC Gains, Faste

    So sounds like we won't be able to build a DDR5 box until mid 2021? Hopefully ECC will be more widely available for DDR5 motherboards with Ryzen than DDR4!

    Text readability + video clarity + FPS?

    Would be great if someone developed some better display benchmarking standards. Then we could just read a chart, sort the chart by various priorities, and choose. Some would include: latency (by various measures), brightness, pixel size?, some kind of ghosting measurement, etc.

    Did someone test ECC RAM on new Ryzen 3000 ?

    Fingers crossed on fast DDR5 ECC in 2020!

    Text readability + video clarity + FPS?

    What is the best current mix of the following in the ~27-36" display, in order of priority: a) Readability of text b) Clarity of video c) latency (or FPS) Budget is < 1K USD. I'm guessing IPSs will be the top recommendation. It'll be connected to a Vega 64. Hopefully some people who have tried...

    Intel 900p Optane ...WOW

    Any luck getting this benchmark? For Linux + AMD users, I wonder how useful an Optane would even be... Versus just more RAM. I'm thinking for compiling & building docker images & overall workstation multitasking and VM use. Currently use regular SSDs in raidz2.

    Benefit of having a separate router / FW?

    I thought you were implying the iptables wasn't enough for any case... So in whatever hypothetical, I thought you'd list out the areas not covered.

    Thanks. I've made a post there too: https://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1836&p=44711#p44711 Still trying to get to the bottom of this. Maybe I just am too obsessed with latency, but the truth isn't clear yet.

    Benefit of having a separate router / FW?

    If you want top security and performance - and you have Linux as your host OS - then what's the benefit to having a separate OpenBSD box or enterprise networking gear for Firewall & routing? Say, we have a gigabit internet connection. I'm thinking why not just iptables (UFW) on the host with...

    I didn't say you were not welcome to assume the worst of him and his article. Sure... However, your primary claims have nothing to stand on: "I bet the lowest latency keyboard, mouse, and monitor on a modern computer have less input lag than an apple 2."

    Building the lowest latency computer...

    Internet gamma males... If you are the only supporter of a view they can find, then you must be the originator of the view or a friend of them... Absolutely not; this is self evidently important to those of us who can discern between useless and useful benchmarks.

    Silly. You're making a straw man here. There's plenty of benchmarking to see latency from lower latency devices is real and not akin to audiophile perceptions.

    Building the lowest latency computer...

    So much of this is not true. He talks about gaming monitors. His benchmarks are better in many ways because he is actually comparing the full latency from input device to change on screen. You're just degrading his work without adding anything. You have no evidence for your bet... Or even...

    Building the lowest latency computer...

    I'm leaving software out of it for now since it is more flexible. In Linux there are lots of options for lower latency at the cost of other things, for example. Any idea how to benchmark GPUs fairly? I guess the latency benchmarks of computer components (except peripherals like the screen) can...

    Why do passive / heat pipe cases fail?

    So you can water cool for a bit less than the cost of the case, but water cooling is in addition to the nice case... Plus these don't have a pump that can fail and are dust free... So I don't think "price" explains it. I was thinking that perhaps it increased the failure of chipsets or SSDs due...

    Why do passive / heat pipe cases fail?

    There have been many sneak peaks at passive cooking cases with great cooling performance (mostly using heat pipes) over the last decade or so. Most of them have been discontinued, failed, or who knows? Calyos is the best I've heard about recently - and now seems they're winding down, or at least...

    Please checkout this amazing article, which is unfortunately a rarity today: https://danluu.com/input-lag/ As you can see the Apple 2e had much lower keyboard to screen latency than any modern desktop has today. I'm interested in building a modern computer that is as low latency as possible...
