stable 60 fps >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> unstable 90-120fps

#

75hz is already a good step up from 60

livid pollen Jan 28, 2021, 12:50 PM

#

im gonna run valorant and fifa only mostly

wintry loom Jan 28, 2021, 12:50 PM

#

75hz

#

maybe since those games are light 120hz

#

but you will have to put fifa on low

livid pollen Jan 28, 2021, 12:51 PM

#

yep

#

i built this pc for like one year usage and then give it to my dad

wintry loom Jan 28, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

livid pollen i built this pc for like one year usage and then give it to my dad

so are you gonna upgrade soon?

livid pollen Jan 28, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

like in a year time

wintry loom Jan 28, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

oh

#

if you only play light games

#

and are gonna upgrade soon

#

get a 120hz monitor and watch your fps

#

if you see its not stabling 120fps lock it at 100 or 90

#

until its stable

livid pollen Jan 28, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

alright

wintry loom Jan 28, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

cause when you upgrade your probably gonna be able to fulfill the 120hz monitor

visual pilot Jan 28, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

wintry loom stable 60 fps >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> unstable 90-120fps

tbh I really disagree with this, average 100fps on a 144hz panel looks much better than just having stable 60fps max on a 60hz panel

#

and adaptive sync is a thing

wintry loom Jan 28, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

i was kind of exagerating a bit to make a point, but you get it

#

i prefer a stable lower fps to an unstable higher one

#

not all games have adaptive sync

visual pilot Jan 28, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

uh

#

not v-sync

#

I mean the panel itself

#

freesync/g-sync

wintry loom Jan 28, 2021, 1:00 PM

oh

#

still

livid pollen Jan 28, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

Rx 570 has freesync

wintry loom Jan 28, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

yeah

visual pilot Jan 28, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

with freesync, there's no downside to a higher, slightly less stable fps

wintry loom Jan 28, 2021, 1:01 PM

i forgot about those

yep.

That means, 144hz and freesync

livid pollen Jan 28, 2021, 1:02 PM

120hz okok

144 is too expensive

but if you can afford it

144

Let me know if there's a better place to post: I'm trying to create a 3-display workstation running 3 independent displays, right now I have 2, 1 a TV, plus the laptop display. I was planning to buy a docking station first to determine which displays are compatible, is there a smarter way to build from scratch?

visual pilot So, are you just trying to run 3 displays via a single PC? <@!72052669311012046...

Correct, 1 laptop, 3 displays.

visual pilot Jan 28, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

@spice vault Do you want to build from scratch another system to drive a new system of monitors, or do you just want a new array of monitors from scratch?

#

First option wise, prob some cheap optiplex plus a gt710 or smth, could move that convo to #building-and-recc-chat

#

Second option wise, I'll go find some triple VESA mount arms, and I can look for a displayport/hdmi hub if you need those

#

(might be afk for a bit, so might be a while until response)

spice vault Jan 28, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

visual pilot <@!568195433357377578> Do you want to build from scratch another system to drive...

I'm looking to build a new array from scratch. Right now I'm running the small laptop display and a TV as my current 3 display setup, I'd like to set up a more professional configuration--smartly. You nailed it! Looking at an arm to mount the three displays, I have a Dp, a MiniDp, and VGA, so I thought the docking station was required for a more effective setup.

visual pilot Jan 28, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

@spice vault Alright, sorry for the delay in responses, but to start off, decent looking triple vesa mount:
https://www.amazon.com/MOUNTPRO-Triple-Monitor-Desk-Mount/dp/B07YWKQ873/
Plus a decent looking DP hub:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Splitter-Compatible/dp/B08B44D3FB/
That'll be a pretty good start to a new array. (There may be alternatives that are better, these are just what I found on amazon) New monitors wise, if can you tell me anything about what you will be using the monitors for, I could find you some new monitors.

#

If I misinterpreted anything, or if you have any other requirements, please tell me and I will take those into consideration.

visual pilot Jan 28, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

Alright, how much screen real estate are you looking for? And would you prefer to have 3x27in 1440p panels, or 3x24in 1080p panels?

spice vault Jan 28, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

As much as I'd love to go to 27", I think my budget is better geared toward the 24".

visual pilot Jan 28, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

Alright, I'll be right back.

#

@spice vault Oh and by the way, do you do work that needs to be color accurate on top of gis/cad?

#

Well, either way, this should be good for you, 110$ per monitor, or do you need cheaper monitors? @spice vault

Is the splitter going to give me a mirror image or will this allow me to have three different images running on the three different displays? Otherwise, I'm golden now! I feel a lot more confident making purchases. Thank You so much!!

That hub should let you mirror and extend (Basically having 3 different displays, but all on the same system) in windows.

You might be interested in a 1440p 144hz or 100hz panel with a VRR technology as it would suit the GPU better.

True

I have the LG LG 32GK650F-B. It was 299 at microcenter. I play games on it every day and it is a pretty decent unit. Whatever you buy, let your own eyes do the review. Not someone else.

spring sequoia Jan 31, 2021, 4:46 PM

#

@opal sinew well, i do like what you are saying for most things

#

But a monitor is all about the pannel, and there are facts and figures about how much coverage they have and how smooth they are

#

And if you dont like factory settings, if its a decent panel you can tweak it to your likening

#

So i would argue just get the best reviewed by professionals monitor and you will be happy

misty gyro Feb 2, 2021, 12:10 AM

@maiden wedge You won't find a good 3 way+ splitter for under $100.
What did you need it for (specifically, what GPU and monitors) and maybe we can work around the problem.

maiden wedge Feb 2, 2021, 1:09 AM

#

@misty gyro gpu is a xfx raw 2 ultra and I'm trying to do the triple monitor setup where you play one game across all three

#

I'll settle for hdmi, but really want DP. I am playing at 1080p

misty gyro Feb 2, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

So mirrored displays (all the same picture), or extended?

maiden wedge Feb 2, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

Extended

misty gyro Feb 2, 2021, 1:11 AM

#

Gotcha. Give me a minute to look them up.

maiden wedge Feb 2, 2021, 1:11 AM

#

Rn if I do extended it just splits it up, game on one screen, browser on the other. I can't extend my game.

misty gyro Feb 2, 2021, 1:13 AM

#

You should have 3 DP on that GPU, so it's likely a settings or game compatibility issue

maiden wedge Feb 2, 2021, 1:13 AM

#

Ahh ok

#

I've seen people do it with some of the games I play. Borderlands 2 and 3, for example

So, I got a serious doubt. I use a 40 inch LED TV as my monitor which supports 240hz. Since, I've connected using HDMI I can use up to 60hz. So, if I use a dual link DVI-D to HDMI converter, would I be able to use the 240hz refresh rate?

I think it needs to be HDMI 2.0 then

or 2.1? I can't remember

So I need to buy HDMI 2.0 cable?

river edge Feb 3, 2021, 5:16 PM

Lemme check

#

So the GPU needs to support HDMI 2.0 also

#

SO if the GPU has HDMI 2.0, and you have a 2.0 cable, should be good

Are there any 1440p VAs with dp 1.4 that compete well with the aorus cv27q at the $300-500 price range? The closest I could find was the g27qc but the backlight bleed and inverse ghosting issues I heard about it turned me away from it

wary nimbus Feb 3, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

RGB 0-255 is meant to be darker than 16-235 right, if so how come when I set my RGB Range to 0-255 on the monitor it looks washed out, did they mix up the settings maybe?

dusty shale Feb 3, 2021, 7:42 PM

#

it is supposed to be the same darkness, check that your color settings are correct with your GPU control panel.

#

also make sure your monitor supports full 8bit color.

What version is your cable?

limber shoal Feb 4, 2021, 10:19 PM

#

Q: Does hdmi support 120hz? also, is this hdmi 2.0?
A: Yes it does support 120hz and yes it is a 2.0. Don bear in mind though using the HDMI cable will cap you because at 120fps because it isn't an HDMI 3.0 so you should use the DisplayPort for max fps.

#

This was on the review questions

anyone use or check out those VIOTEK ultrawides? figured id ask around before pulling the trigger.

#

send what panel you are looking at and ill tell you if its good or recommend you another monitor. What is the budget and use case btw?@vital snow

vital snow Feb 4, 2021, 11:29 PM

#

VIOTEK GNV34DBE was going to use it for some racing games when im not playing MMO's and such. I also do some video editing here and there so having stuff on one monitor seems like a plus. Budget at most id spend 600 maybe 700 if it just is that much better for the price.(i just like having a lot of screen real-estate)

#

Ive been using 2 monitors of differing brands for some time and my Asus one finally gave out about 2 years outside its warranty date.

#

the high refresh rate isnt a must but it is nice when i do play the occasional shooter

dusty shale Feb 4, 2021, 11:31 PM

#

how much is the VIOTEK for you?

vital snow Feb 4, 2021, 11:31 PM

#

that one in particular is $399.99 US

#

was just a brand ive never heard of or dealt with so was unsure of the quality.

dusty shale Feb 4, 2021, 11:36 PM

#

Its usually best to judge individually by panel than by company, it seems that the VIOTEK is good for the price but the G34WQC would be better out of box as the viotek isn't well calibrated. The issue with the gigabyte being its availability. There's no other that compete in that price range and for any real improvements in panel quality you need to go over budget.

vital snow Feb 4, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

gotcha. I was also looking at the LG 27GL850-B if I had decided I didnt want to deal with the getting used to the ultrawide

dusty shale Feb 4, 2021, 11:40 PM

#

the getting used to it is about 1 hour, after that its great to have the extra space.

vital snow Feb 4, 2021, 11:40 PM

#

Ahh, I think a buddy of mine just got that monitor actually. said hes been waiting a long while for it to come into stock. but finally got it. and is very pleased with it.

#

the gigabyte one

dusty shale Feb 4, 2021, 11:41 PM

#

thats good to hear, hopefully you can find it in stock if you decide to go with it.

#

for calibration on the viotek you might be able to borrow a calibrator from a nearby photography store.

vital snow Feb 4, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

oo possible

thanks for the help, i'll think about it some more before making a final decision xd

🤷‍♂️ It was the latest nvidia driver at the time, I tried several versions. No matter what, I kept getting locked to 60Hz on my game monitor with my other (actual 60Hz) monitor. I tried it with both a 75Hz and a 144Hz, same result.

misty gyro Feb 7, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

It was kind of a known bug with nvidia back when I was trying it a couple years ago. The workaround usually recommended was to use your iGPU for the 60Hz display but of course AMD doesn't do that. I don't know if that's been addressed.

dusty shale Feb 7, 2021, 4:47 AM

things should work fine now, both off of the GPU, i've been using a 100hz and a 60hz for the past 3-4years without an issue.

Anyway it's a moot point now, the 60Hz display is being used on my wife's vintage game computer and I'm using the 144Hz.

wraith surge Feb 11, 2021, 5:27 AM

#

Would it be dumb if I got a triple monitor setup with 1 4k probably 60hz and like 2 1080s, for something like a racing game. Would it look bad and would I have to put performance down for the 1 4k.

#

And if I got 3 4k’s at 60hz would that also be kind of dumb if I supposedly have a 3080

dusty shale Feb 11, 2021, 5:45 AM

#

3080 can play 4K 120fps+
The issue with surround gaming on different resolution monitors would be scaling.
The visuals are all up to your personal tolerances.
3 4K 60s isnt a terrible option but VRAM issues may become prominent. @wraith surge

wraith surge Feb 11, 2021, 5:57 AM

#

So 3 4k 60s would be better for the looks but may run worse because of vram

dusty shale Feb 11, 2021, 6:32 AM

#

yes

misty gyro Feb 11, 2021, 8:01 AM

If you're going for triple 4k you might consider a 6800XT for the vram

How much would it cost you

So wait, you want to be able to see both the switch and windows and be able to swap quickly as needed? You'd want a monitor with PIP (picture in picture) for that.
But if you want to be able to see the switch output on your PC as an app, you will need something that accepts HDMI input like a capture card that you can monitor.

change the display in options on fortnite to fullscreen

#

not fullscreen borderless or windowed

#

it has to be put on FULLSCREEN then that will lock the mouse to the one display

for whatever reason those games think your running in a window of some sort telling the mouse it can veer off screen

No real budget cap, but definitely concerned about VA vs IPS. Gaming and light office work.

Gsync has a lot more strict certification requirements, but a freesync panel will still work with a nvidia GPU. Cheap ones will be obviously cheap still, and have artifacts/tearing, but you can force it to work.

It really depends on what you're playing. If you're doing competitive CS:GO you'll want all the refresh, but if you just want games to look good 1440p is the up and coming new standard

#

There was an option to pay 50$ more for priority shipping. At that price I think by the time I pressed "order" I would have heard the delivery guy knocking

#

Anyhow, first time trying GSYNC. Never tested that before and honestly not sure yet of the difference

#

I'll use it for a while then turn it off

#

and see if I can notice anything

misty gyro Feb 18, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

What you'll mostly notice is reduced tearing at lower refresh rates. If you got a 100Hz panel but your game is only running at 50 fps, normally there's quite a bit of tearing.

warped stirrup Feb 18, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

I've been playing a game that has a lot of dips below the monitor's refresh rate so I'm hoping that it helps

#

usually getting around 100fps ingame and panel is 165hz

misty gyro Feb 18, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

It will definitely help, it makes the monitor wait to refresh until the GPU sends a frame, making it appear much smoother

opal sinew Feb 18, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

you want gsync on all the time. do not turn it off on the monitor or in your drivers. its a GOOD thing

#

that being said you need it on, gsync in both your nvcp and the monitor

warped stirrup Feb 18, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

Yeah I've messed around with the gsync menu a bit earlier and it seems on in both

#

looking awesome btw

#

The button on the monitor that opens an app on your desktop that allows to change the screen menu is SO awesome

#

first time I have that man that's a game changer

other than that you have to get those samsung VA panel monitors for 800cad

@serene pilot if you're in the US, get a Gigabyte M27q

Extremely good monitor for the price

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:02 PM

Yea, that's been discussed.

#

checks specs

Not a G-Sync monitor. I don't care if Freesync does the same thing, I would've gotten something else otherwise.

misty gyro Feb 18, 2021, 9:05 PM

#

Freesync on Nvidia just kinda works. Cheap monitors are going to show how cheap they are. Freesync premium is close to gsync standards.

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:05 PM

#

Kinda.

dusty shale Feb 18, 2021, 9:06 PM

if you really care for Gsync - under type do G-sync or G-sync ultimate if you want real Gsync https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/

Rule of thumb, when you have access to more information, just ignore the brand :p

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

I care for brand consistency.

#

I don't care if none of you do.

#

I just want to know if the product link I showed is a good display. That is all

visual pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

Welp, all we can tell you is the information, the decision is yours

#

And the information I want to give you is the M27q performs better in response time, overshoot, feature set, and for about 70$ cheaper.

misty gyro Feb 18, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

There's a difference between that and brand loyalty. I've owned 3 MSI motherboards, but I'm avoiding their X570 because I did my research and thermals on the VRM are terrible

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

It sucks that certain models can fault on you.

misty gyro Feb 18, 2021, 9:12 PM

That's why modelbrand

visual pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:12 PM

Just take performance and testing into consideration, whatever decision you make

(the arm that is)

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:35 PM

#

reads rtings review of Gigabyte M27Q

This monitor doesn't pivot.

#

That's unfortunate. Apparently this and the Asus TUF monitor share the same review stats, save for HDR grading being a couple points higher on Gigabyte.

visual pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:36 PM

#

I mean, look at their pre-calibration color testing @serene pilot

#

that's one place M27q just wins

#

Better color gradient since M27q is 10 bit when vg27aq is 8 bit

#

And M27q just has a flat out sexy 0 overshoot error

#

compared to VG27aq

#

One issue the M27q does have is the BFI doesn't work with VRR on.

#

But most people won't use BFI anyways

#

Point is, @serene pilot both panels are very good in general, but M27q has better specs/performance. No real problem going with either monitor in the end though.

dusty shale Feb 18, 2021, 9:41 PM

I'll give you credit for Gigabyte on color gamut, while the Asus excels at black levels.

#

That said, I want a monitor that pivots. Personal reasons

monitor arm?

Please don't.

visual pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:42 PM

#

8 bit dithering, that's what it was called

#

@serene pilot Fair, but personally I only see real use for pivot as secondary monitors for discord and such, so not as important to me as it might be for you

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

If I can find a similiar Gigabyte model that has more flexible monitor position options at matched price, I would give it a look.

visual pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:45 PM

#

@serene pilot eh, the M27q is the best, that's why I suggest it, they don't offer much else.

The price to performance you get with M27q just as a monitor is pheromonal

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:46 PM

If it could pivot, I would swallow my pride and take it under serious consideration.

visual pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:47 PM

Well, not much else if pivot is a requirement and monitor arms are not an option

#

M27q is vesa 100x100 compatible though >:D

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:47 PM

#

That's why I'm on the lookout.

#

I'm upset that 144hz options are very limited as of late.

visual pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:48 PM

#

I mean, it's the pivot options that are very limitted

#

sadly

serene pilot Feb 18, 2021, 9:49 PM

#

Which is why I want to easily transition from an old monitor to a new one that has equal features but higher resolution. Anything going against the grain makes me angry.

#

Nearly equal, correction. I have a 3D monitor, and I know that's a discontinued feature now.

keen nebula Feb 18, 2021, 9:51 PM

so no one here uses a 34 inch mounted to an arm

My asus tuf vg27bq does not have normal brightness and night light settings. I can’t find a way to fix this even after several different strategies to fix this

#

basically my monitor is frying my eyes pls help

misty gyro Feb 19, 2021, 3:28 AM

#

Windows has night light built in, open notification panel bottom right and it's one of the buttons on the bottom

cedar nebula Feb 19, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

No no, it’s there but when I release the slider to adjust it the monitor goes back to its normal brightness and saturation

#

And in windows settings brightness is not even an option, and the nvidia control panel doesn’t have a wide enough brightness range to not hurt my eyes as it is

river edge Feb 19, 2021, 3:30 AM

#

I need some help with my monitor not working...it says “no signal” even tho I’ve plugged hdmi into PC and Monitor but it still says no signal...I’ve also tried using a display port cable in case the hdmi port/cable wasn’t working but neither have worked.....

#

What would be the cause? I also replaced cables today so I don’t think it’s that

#

And can DP port and HDMI port both get messed up if one gets messed up?

#

Any answers greatly appreciated

misty gyro Feb 19, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

Starting with the basics...
GPU power is plugged in?
Reseat the GPU in the PCI slot
Make sure monitor input is correct

#

Also, if you can, test by plugging into another screen like a TV or old monitor
