There was a note on the TFTCentral review about the ASUS that it suffers from black crush, at least in SDR mode. This is something I notice on my Samsung S95B TV as well, which is also QD-OLED. So I'm wondering two things: 1) Is this just something inherent to the technology? 2) Is it only a...

I remember discussion from some other threads about color space and if anything past DCI-P3 even matters on account of game support, with shots from Cyberpunk showing it almost entirely in the BT.709 color space. So I thought I'd start a thread posting screenshots for games that do make use of...

***SOLD*** $600 plus shipping method of your choice. I bought this card from a [H] member, seems only fitting I should sell it here too. This was my main gaming card, got it not too long after they released, and replaced it with a 4090 a couple months ago. So it's well used, but never for...

I have a AW3821DW and I love it for desktop work and it's good for SDR gaming as well, however it just doesn't do the trick for HDR gaming which I'm enthralled with these days. Normally not an issue, I game on me S95B which is a QD-OLED TV, the monitor is mostly used for desktop stuff. However...

I'm starting to look at rebuilding my desktop and one of the things I do is audio production. Currently my samples sit on a number of different SATA SSDs but I'd like to stick them all on one drive. This won't be the system drive, that is going to be a 980 Pro, it'll be dedicated for samples. As...

We are replacing our Dell TL4000 and the question is do we get a new Dell ML3, or should we look at someone else like Quantum? Anyone have experience with a library they hate less than others?

Redscape Audio. This one is seriously good. It isn't perfect, I still prefer my speakers slightly... but to be fair I have Genelec speakers, which are about as good as they get. It is competent software, sets up a virtual speaker device that hangs around, even if the software is shut down (so...

Not a big SSD type unit, a stick sized jump drive. I'd like to get one that has reads and writes over 100MB/sec if possible but finding any place that has actual benchmarks and not just bloggers quoting the manufacturer's spec page is hard.

It seems like the VRAM on the backside could use a little more cooling. I have a 3090 FTW3 so a nice flat metal plate that it should be easy to stick a heatsink on top of to help a little. Anyone do that and have one they like for it?

I've been eying a new monitor off and on and one of the considerations is if I'd want to go for an HDR monitor or not. The pro for an HDR monitor is, well, HDR of course. The cons is there aren't very many of them, they are expensive, and in general I'm not as big a fan of VA as IPS. So what...

We are looking to upgrade our VM servers that run quite a few low-load VMs to 10gbit and in shopping around for NICs I came across Chelsio. Always used Intel server NICs in the past but these look interesting and it looks like they might have better driver support for new OSes than Intel...

Little background first: We are getting a new NetApp FAS and for the moment it is going to hook in to old Dell PowerConnect 7024 switches. The idea is to wire it to the 10gig SPF+ modules on the back so it has more than enough bandwidth, and since that is what we' d want to use in the future...

It seems like a lot of the Gsync IPS monitors these days come with the ability to "overclock" themselves. Like they'll do 100Hz native but can be OC'd to 120Hz. So is there any issues or risk with doing this?

I've been eyeing this as an MMO to maybe try since I really like the Elder Scrolls games. Of course it sounds like it wasn't that good a game on launch, but lately people are talking it up more. Anyone here play it and have any thoughts?

I got a new laptop (Gigabyte Aero 15) which has a GTX 1060 that uses nVidia Optimus switching. All works well overall, both the iGPU and dGPU function and perform as they should. However it does have an annoying issue that when I launch some things, like a UAC prompt or the task manager it...

Give this mod a look. In particular if you have a high spec system with an SSD and are using the ultra high rez textures. It really seems to do the trick. I was perplexed with this game because while it runs good, load times are slow, particularly loading from interior to exterior in the dense...

Something that has annoyed the hell out of me for a long time is the fact that some games decide to use OpenAL as their sound solution and, despite that fact that it is in theory "open" in reality it sucks on everything not Creative Labs. CL cards get full surround sound, lots of neat effects...

I have an Enduro laptop (and it is mandatory, no mux to turn it off) and in Windows 7 and 8 the AMD GPU would shut down when I was just using the integrated graphics for the desktop. Now with 10 it spins up the dGPU all the time which has a real negative impact on battery life. Is there a fix...

I was playing around with the driver settings today and I noticed something: A setting in the "Change Resolution" option for "Output Color Depth" that'll let you choose 8 or 10 bits per pixel: I flip it on, and it works. My NEC monitor is reporting that it is receiving a 30-bit signal on...

If so, how's it do for gaming?

Harebrained Schemes is doing another expansion to Shadowrun Returns. This time, PC only so should mean less "tablety" controls. They have put it back on Kickstarter but with an interesting twist: They are funding the base game themselves, the KS funding will go to extending the game. I like the...

Recently for me Steam just seems to stop downloading randomly. It'll be trucking along happily, and then will stop, the program will say "Queued" in the library. However in the download manager it'll say "Update Required (Not Queued)". I hit the "Move to top of Queue" button and it starts...

If so, what kind of temps/GPU power/core speed/fan speed you seeing in Furmark? I have one and it seems to work fine, but I'm a little concerned maybe its cooling solution isn't doing its job as well as it should. When I run Furmark it pretty quickly hits 80 degrees C and then starts to...

I've encountered a couple of minor ones that I'd like to make them aware of. In particular: 1) CPU fan speeds seems to stick high sometimes. I'll fire up AI Suite and it'll be at 1500rpm (it's max), when the CPU is idle. I have to flop it back and forth between extreme silent mode and then...

I would like to hook up the thermal probe, so one of the fans can be controlled by GPU temperature.

So I'm not a big fan of OCing in general, but I decided to do it on my old 2600k. Took it up to 4GHz without raising the vcore at all, perfectly stable, so I called it a win. Well I have a mental block about my new 5930k being a slower clock speed. So I want to take it to 4GHz as well (not any...

In particular, I have a GTX 570 and a GTX 680 available for use as a dedicated PhysX card (a 980 gets to be the main GPU). My question is if there's be any reason to use the 680 instead of the 570, as which ever I don't use will be used for a media PC.

Related to my other post asking about routers, the reason I'm doing that is because this one is having problems, but very, very strange ones: So I have it acting as my router for my network, testing it out. At the moment I don't need a router, I have business class cable with multiple IPs...

I'll try again: Looking for a wireless router recommendation. $200-300 preferred, $500-600 max. Fast n' stable. Thanks.

It is really good. The included Dead Man's Switch campaign was ok, but nothing stellar. I enjoyed it but it was a little "meh" overall and I didn't really feel like any sort of a redo with a different kind of character (which I usually do with RPGs). Dragonfall though, it is really good. Great...

If so two questions: 1) How do you like it? What's good/bad? 2) What are the physical dimensions? Thanks.

We got some Dell R720s not too long ago and their PSUs said they were "80 Plus Titanium" which I hadn't heard of. Looked it up, and it is yet another level of efficiency that just came out. Tested them and what do you know, it isn't BS. Those suckers are exceedingly efficient. However, I've...

From Hidden Path, the Defense Grid guys. Looks like it is to be an open world builder like Minecraft. They sent out codes to the DG2 backers so I've been messing with it. So far, looks like a solid foundation. I like the cutesy graphics style and it is fundamentally what you want in a building...

I finally decided to give it a try (as with many games, I've owned it but never played it) and I find it unplayable because of the lag. The game is just not responsive to input. Be it when you are steering the camera or in menus, it lags bad. It seems to be at least partially FPS related but...

So since some people like to hate on Kickstarter as nothing but scams, but other of us, like me, think it is great I thought a thread for those of us that have backed projects might be cool. In particular, give a general overview of the status of things. Such as: --Backed: 9 --Final...

I just got my PA301W which has a pretty wide gamut as do most modern 30" displays. I decided to give the native gamut a try and compare it with sRGB (the PA301W does real good gamut emulation). Man, I am really, really liking the wide gamut in gaming. I really like the way it makes the games...

B&H has the PA301W for $1850 with free shipping. Yes, that is extremely expensive, but for this monitor, it is the best price I've seen. It is one of, if not the, highest end 30" displays you can get your hands on.

I'm thinking of getting one of them to see how I like 120Hz gaming. The two things I'm most interest in are low input lag and high image quality. I have an NEC 2690WUxi right now which is an IPS panel with hardware calibration, so I like good pictures. I realize neither of these will be as...

The second Kickstarter I backed (Wasteland 2 being the first) just handed out their beta to everyone. It's called FTL and is a little indy Rogue like space game. They sent out Steam keys to all the backers and it is up and running great. So while it hasn't been delivered in "release" form...

So I want a new case, and these two and the two I'm looking at. As such, I'd love to hear opinions on it. Talk me in to which ever you like better. I'm not looking for a "Which is t3h best," just to hear what the people who chose one like about it and why they chose it.
