    Does GPU scaling from 3440 x 1440 to 2560 x 1440 cause noticable input lag?

    Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying the Dell AW3423DW which has a resolution of 3440 x 1440 but no display scaler over DisplayPort, which is the connection I will be using. For games that don't support 21:9, I want to play in 2560 x 1440 (16:9) and have the black bars on the sides. That does...

    RTX 2080 enough for 3440 x 1440?

    Hey guys. I'm considering bying an ultrawide monitor for my setup. The one I've set my sights on has a resolution of 3440 x 1440. I'm a bit worried if the card will be enough for that resolution. I currently play on a 2560 x 1440 display and it works well for me so far as I have a long backlog...

    Do fiber optic HDMI cables add any noticeable input lag?

    Hey! I need to buy a fiber optic HDMI cable at 6 meters in order to use my pc with my 4k tv and a controller for gaming. I'm a bit concerned about possible input lag though, as the signal is converted to light in the cable and then back again. What do you guys think? Do i risk increasing input...

    Concerned about damaged (?) LAN port - packet loss

    Hi! I recently needed to pull the lan plug out of the Ethernet jack on my motherboard. The plug was stuck rather hard in the socket, so I had to use some moderate force to pull it out, while rocking it from side to side a bit. At last it got out (it FLEW out!). Now I'm concerned I might have...

    Eizo 24" LCD FlexScan S2433WFS for gaming?

    What do you think about this monitor Eizo FlexScan S2433WFS? Granted it will have very good black depth and contrast, but will it work for gaming? (ie. without ghosting/smearing/trailing). I´ve tried the Eizo Foris FS2331 before, and while it had superb image quality it had some smearing and...

    From 2560 x 1440 to 2560 x 1600, big difference in GPU requirements?

    Hi! I now have a HP ZR2740W monitor capable of 2560 x 1440 and it looks pretty sharp for games. My graphics card is a single Sapphire Radeon HD6870 1 GIG VRAM. I can run most games with satisfactory FPS (including recent games like Skyrim & Deus Ex: Human Revolution) in 2560 x 1440. Does...

    Is there any great 27-30" IPS/VA with great black levels for gaming?

    Hi! I use my monitors to game (mostly) and I really, really can´t stand it when dark games don´t look dark enough. These are the monitors I´ve tried out so far: - Samsung S23A750D - great for FPS due to 120 hz + response time, but horrible for games like Deus Ex or Doom 3 due to excessive...
