I would just stay at 1080p-1440p

Because most people don't want to go into the 20 series cards, they are just overpriced and not that great, the 2070/2070 super are pretty good for their price

I have a laptop (Lenovo Y520) with a USB 3.1 Type C port, and a monitor that supports G-sync. I'm currently using a HDMI cable which I know doesn't support G-sync. If I was to buy a USB 3.1 Type C too Displayport adapter, would I then be able to use G-sync? Thanks!

river edge Dec 25, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

I don't think so, looking into it. Looksl ike it's limited to 60hz

#

@maiden wedge it sounds like your Laptop should have a Display Port connection, does it?

maiden wedge Dec 25, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

Don't think so. I'm using an external monitor that supports G-sync.

river edge Dec 25, 2019, 12:49 AM

Not on the monitor, on the laptop

What GPU does it have?

maiden wedge Dec 25, 2019, 12:49 AM

It has a USB 3.1 Type C on it

#

lenovo legion y520 (80wk00remx) is my laptop

I has HDMI, but G-sync won't work through HDMI

river edge Dec 25, 2019, 12:51 AM

Right

#

Reading up on a few things

#

You should be able to but you will have to disable the integrated Intel GPU from within the Lenovo software

is there an option to force 1050 in the nVidia control panel?

maiden wedge Dec 25, 2019, 1:02 AM

Yeah. I've already set it too run programs on the GTX 1050 and not the integrated card

river edge Dec 25, 2019, 1:02 AM

#

Ok, good

#

it should work then

#

G-sync should work over the USB-C on the 1050

river edge Dec 25, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

The Gsync line?

maiden wedge Dec 25, 2019, 1:04 AM

I don't have an adapter right now so I'll need to buy one, so I'm using HDMI right now.

I'm the Nvidia control panel I don't have any display settings, just 3D settings.

maiden wedge Dec 25, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

Do you think NVIDIA control panel will detect my monitor once I get an adapter and let me turn on G-sync? Cause up until now I've had change settings on my monitor in the Intel program

river edge Dec 25, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

That's because the HDMI is connected directly to the Intel GPU

#

So, the nVidia GPU just displays through that. The USB-C should be different

maiden wedge Dec 25, 2019, 1:07 AM

#

Ok, I see now. Thanks!

Ah, that's a shame. Good thing you asked that question, yes. Why would they make a gaming laptop use a IGPU no matter what? That seems kinda stupidity

maiden wedge Dec 25, 2019, 9:12 PM

@ JuiceByHarry
Look into if DyAc is something you'd be interested in - BenQ models often carry 1 of the 2- DyAc or G-hardware g-sync.
The XL2546 carries DyAc, wheras the XL2540 is the g-sync equivalent iirc.
Neither model strikes me as a go-to for price-performance min/max , but they certainly check off the "bells and whistles"

So, I’m not even looking at it that often.

maiden wedge Dec 25, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

Nice, plenty of horsepower in the pc then.
I'd say 240hz 1080p is by far the most common csgo/overwatch/competitive fps gaming config -
but if on a budget, and when other use cases are valued, 1440p, 144hz freesync/g-sync make for great options as well.

5ms is not the greatest for gaming

Not a good one, almost 8 years old but I'm planning to get a gtx 1060/1660

balmy radish Dec 28, 2019, 6:00 AM

#

ok, I'll look.

leaden forge Dec 28, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

The cheapest 144hz are around 140$, don’t know if you can stretch your budget

#

I think that a 144hz is worth it if you’re upgrading to a 1660

odd echo Dec 28, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

i got my 144hz monitor for $99 cool_and_good

balmy radish Dec 28, 2019, 6:09 AM

#

what

#

at $120 max budget you're getting 60hz

odd echo Dec 28, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

it was a really good sale

#

and im sure you could at least get 75hz for $120

75hz for 120

#

But 144hz is worth it

rotund crane Dec 28, 2019, 6:13 AM

I might be able to stretch it a bit

144hz is worth it for 20 more bucks I mean why not

#

YMMV, but it's in your price range for sure and it's 144hz. It's a VA panel and the few reviews on Newegg2 look promising so far.

leaden forge Dec 28, 2019, 6:23 AM

#

5ms isn’t the best for gaming

#

And the link you sent has a TN Panel

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Hh648d/msi-optix-g24c-240-1920x1080-144hz-monitor-optix-g24c

#

I would personally opt for this one, VA, 1ms, freesync but no built in speakers

#

But built in speakers aren’t great anyways

@leaden forge you're right. I had that backwards. I meant to send the MSI for sure.

Yup, I’m sure going for the ViewSonic one is a bad idea

So, do IPS monitors with good black uniformity/no backlight bleed exist?

#

I just want a good 1440p monitor I can use in a dark room, but it doesn't seem to exist.

ebon beacon Dec 28, 2019, 12:14 PM

#

AOC is a taiwanese monitor manufacturer who makes some really horrid monitors and some really good ones

#

also @warm token get a VA panel

it's got kind of the best of both worlds of TN and IPS

Hey guys, I have an Acer Z35P Predator Ultrawide 1440p 120 hz. There is an extreme overdrive mode that appareantly overclocks pixels to reduce ghosting... Does anybody have experience with it? Will leaving it on extreme overdrive affect the longevity of the monitor?

visual pilot Dec 28, 2019, 9:14 PM

#

Usually extreme overdrive causes ghosting and lowers responce times, idk tho

normal mulch Dec 29, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

are you really going to tell a difference between 1ms and 5..... not really lol

#

i went from a 1ms TN panel to a 5ms VA panel and i notice nothing in terms of input latency . Color quality is much better and the display is brighter.

steel phoenix Dec 29, 2019, 3:41 AM

#

Newer VA panels, you cant tell a differnce between the latency compared to TN imo

ebon beacon Dec 29, 2019, 7:03 AM

#

this is my first VA panel after using exclusively IPS for years

#

i'm pleased with the high refresh rate, response time, and I think equivalent colors to the IPS

neat cosmos Dec 29, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

I currently have a decently recent VA panel at 7ms G2G response time and being 100Hz. Def notice some ghosting

feel like a 5ms G2G 144Hz VA panel will get ghosting

ebon beacon Dec 29, 2019, 10:25 AM

i'd like one of those regardless of monitor

i'd just need to get an adapter

because acer are terrible about that

nothing is VESA standard

none of their monitors are

i'd like a VESA arm and all that but my desk is pretty awful too

it has a bar like not far below the bar on the back and it might interfere with a VESA mount

there's no power in this stand, and the panel isn't really thin (but it is curved)

yeah i generally do not use random screws for jobs like that

there's a plastic bit that comes off

probably that screw is just long enough for the vesa mount

the white plastic bit is for compatibility with the stand

well g-sync or freesync wouldn't work on just one monitor

you'd need both to be that

if the reinstall doesnt work I would first reinstall OBS and see if that changes anything and then if still happening I would RMA the GPU

maiden wedge Jan 1, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

I just dont get why itd be the gpu even if it persists after the drivers... games run perfectly

zealous wigeon Jan 1, 2020, 3:05 AM

@maiden wedge download and run heaven benchmark for like 30 minute loop and see if there is any artifacts

What's a good budget 1440p 144hz 24/27inch g sync monitor

hazy condor Jan 2, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

For gaming and video watching

vague zinc Jan 2, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

1440p and 144hz don't go very well together

#

budgetwise I mean

#

especially with gsync

#

itll be hard to find one under 400

#

you could do gsync compatible which is just freesync that works with nvidia

rare fiber Jan 2, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

Is a cheap 144hz 1080 good or should an upgrade be considered to something that wont have as much smearing

granite tulip Jan 2, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

I think a decent budget 144hz 1080p will leave you more satisfied

#

Smearing, performance, build quality, viewing, will be better than the cheapest/cheap 144hz 1080p's

#

Depends what ur playing as well, if you hard-core fps, the ghosting and smears will be more annoying than say playing an mmo or moba

astral ferry Jan 2, 2020, 9:38 AM

sigh why are 1440p monitors so expensiv

#

:c

granite tulip Jan 2, 2020, 10:27 AM

Cuz they're the trend these days

Similar to how 1080p 144hz monitors were expensive a few years ago

#

Isn’t it G-Sync compatible so Adaptive sync = Freesync ?

#

yeah well true gsync is really expensive

#

compatible should work just fine

leaden forge Jan 2, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Compatible is fine indeed

#

If I’m not wrong "G Sync compatible" means it’s software based and "G Sync" means the feature comes with the monitor

#

Correct me if I’m wrong

river edge Jan 2, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

NVidia has supported freesync since January of this year

#

And you're wrong

#

It's all hardware

#

It's freesync vs gsync

adaptive syncs are usually built im modules right

if it's at 144 you won't see much of a difference

Overclocking monitors typically costs color quality

Not worth it

i have the samsung c24fg7

the list doesnt cover everything

@astral ferry Hard to get Freesync when I’m not even getting an AMD card

@spring tulip lmao dude you dont need an amd card to use freesync. im using a freesync monitor rn with a rtx 2070 super

freesync works with amd and nvidia cards while gsync is locked to nvidia

Preferably VA or IPS.

Is it possible to overclock a monitor past its limit? That's something I've been pondering on for a good while

It is but color quality usually degrades

#

and it's only good for a few hz

#

It's not really worth it

toxic bluff Jan 10, 2020, 1:19 PM

TIL, once you go IPS you can't have anything else. Had the cheap Dell SE2717HX (great display for the price FWIW)...1080p, 75hz, IPS panel. Got a Asus VG27VQ...1080p, 165hz, VA panel. Had to return it....colors just don't pop like the IPS.....Took it back and got the Asus VG279Q...1080p, 144hz, IPS. What a difference! IPS is where it's @ peeps!

if you have an extra $50 you can get a Alienware New AW2720HF 27 Inch FHD IPS LED Edgelight 2019 Monitor - Lunar Light (Full HD 1920 X 1080 240 Hz, AMD FreeSync)

#

both is good i think

if you buy the extra $50 monitor you are upgrading the Hz from 144hz to 240hz

@onyx ether hit up ebay or local craigslist. You can probably get some good deals on 1080p 144hz monitor. I see alot of people transitioning to 1440p

Makes sense

leaden forge Jan 11, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

Imo if you’re on a tight budget a 75hz would be fine too for a RX 570

#

But maybe you’ll want to buy a better GPU in the future

#

In that case 144

onyx ether Jan 11, 2020, 7:09 AM

I mean, I do have a 1080p smart TV that I use as a PC monitor back at my college dorm, but here at my house that Samsung SyncMaster 912T 19" (that's the model on the back) is what I got

My cpu is a ryzen 2600 with a Radeon HD 6970. While installing windows 10 to the build at friends place we had it hooked up to a 60 inch lg 4k tv as a monitor via hdmi Everything ran fine and was stable while testing heaven and superstition. Why would it crash and not be stable on a acer monitor which resolution is 1680x1050 via vga connection? Current monitor is vga connection only

@languid turtle thats because there isnt much diffeerence between 60 and 75 LOL. Thats really not an upgrade whatsoever. 60 to 144hz is where you want to make the jump

trying to find a difference between a monitor with 60hz and one with 75hz is like trying to differentiate a 10 fps difference

astral ferry Jan 12, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

@languid turtle i have no idea. It might be your settings but a good test to see if the refresh rate is making a big impact is doing very basic stuff like moving your cursor around or responsiveness in a browser etc. I was using a 60hz and i recently jumped to 144hz and everything that i do even non gaming stuff is significantly better than before when i was using the 60hz monitor

#

gaming in specific, refresh rate isnt the only thing you need to look out for. You need to look at response time, and if you have an adaptive sync tech in your monitor

But if youre stuck on 1440p the AOC is my rec.

#

@visual pilot those MSI are slick looking

Thoughts on this 32 inch 1080 panel?

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

32 is too big for 1080p

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

OK why's that?

full moat Jan 13, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

size of pixels at standard blob-to-display distances

#

blob = the user

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

you'll start seeing the pixels because theyll be bigger

#

27" is max for 1080p for my eyes (and I'm 40 lol)

full moat Jan 13, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

as said previously, personally i prefer 1440p for 27inch monitors

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

Since I'm going to be trying to upgrade my gpu that's a HD 6970 why I was thinking about 1440p vs 1080p at 144hz

#

Going to try and get 1660ti that's on sale since 5700xt to high right now for me

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

with 1660ti, I'd plan on stayin at 1080p

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

ye

#

I have the MSI mag24c, smaller panel, but pretty damn neat

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

So unless I'm buying a 700 dollar gpu its pointless to get a 1440p panel?

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

what

#

1660ti is NOT 700 dollars

#

also you should get a 1660 super instead

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

you can get the 5700xt for $350 and it'll do 1440p

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

yea

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

Sorry I meant like a 2070 or bigger

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

700 dollars is 144hz 1440p gameplay and more

#

I have a 2070, drives 1080p fairly well, idk about 1440p

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

So what's the lowest gpu that will run 1440p

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

prob 2070 or 5700xt

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

i wouldnt rec. anything under a 5700xt or 2070 for 1440p

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

yea

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

i have 2060 super and im stayin at 1080p

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

I'm 2070 at 1080p

#

It def cant run 1440p ultra 144fps

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

So what's the thoughts about a 1080p panel at 165hz vs 144hz

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

because it somewhat struggles with 144fps 1080p ultra

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

yep...mine too

visual pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

well 165 is for like
competitive gaming

#

imo 144hz and up

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

I would def. rec the VG27VQ for 1080p....My wife uses one...its nice...I have the VG279Q if you want to spend a tad more for the IPS luxury 😉

#

Comes down to prefernce at that point though

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

I take a look but I know I don't want anything smaller than 27

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

they are both 27s

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

OK

#

The vg27q9 about the same price as a AOC 27inch 1080p at 240hz panel

#

📎 Screenshot_20200113-102802.png

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

The VG279Q is an IPS panel...that's were the price comes in...

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

OK ips that much better?

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

IPS looks that much better, yes. But if youre doing competitive e-sports gaming then looks don't matter as much as fps and thats where your 240 FPS TN panels come in

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

Going to try and do a bit of mixed gaming of older titles and current triple a games as welk

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

Really comes down to what you prefer...I like my games to look good and although I don't want to lack performance (fps,Hz), it's not as important to me as visual clarity and color accuracy. So i went with the VG279VQ and kinda got the best of both worlds though I did pay a tad more for that luxury. After having the Dell SE2717H 27", 75Hz, IPS panel. I could not use a TN or VA panel. Looks too washed out after using an IPS

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

Ya I don't have any experience of ips vs a TN I think my old monitor is VA but not sure it's a res of 1680x1050

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

For someone that never had an IPS, I think I could suggest the VG27VQ. It is honestly the best looking VA panel I've seen up close. And the 1500R curve is pretty sweet too.

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

Ya that was another thing I was wondering was curved vs flat. I'm use to flat but a curved panel looks like it would be nice

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

Gotta admit. I kinda miss it

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

@toxic bluff a curved panel?

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

Yup

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

OK thx I take another look into ips panels more bf decision. Thoughts on a VA vs TN panel if I don't get a ips and why? @toxic bluff

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

Stick with VA....colors are terrible on TN and TN only advantage is super high response times, which is not necessary for anything but super competitive gaming.

neat pilot Jan 13, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

OK thx but looking at something that's 1ms time still good to do right

toxic bluff Jan 13, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

yes but they only adervertise the "minimum" response time. you can search monitors here ( scroll down a tad to the "find" box on the right side to search) and it will tell you the Total, Average and Minimum. which gives a much better actual representation of the response times
