    Radeon RX 7900 GRE Review

    7700 XT is faster than 4060 ti 7800 XT is faster than 4070 and can nearly catch a 4070 ti, when overclocked. 7900 XT is faster than 4070 ti 7900 XTX is faster than 4080 and can even beat 4090 in some CPU limited scenarios. The supers are a reaction to RDNA 3. 7800 XT in particular, sold really...

    Is this SAMA 1000w any good?

    SAMA makes good, low cost cases, if that can be taken as some indication for their power supplies.

    Final Fantasy XVI

    Seems possible. Square recently said that 16 attracted a "younger" age group, and they seemed very happy about that. I'm guessing they mean late teens/early twenties.

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    13900k is 5.5ghz all core, and 5.7 ghz for 2 cores. pl1 253w/pl2 253 would be plenty to sustain 5.5 or better, in a game. I would say that maybe you have some other settings incorrect, after you have been trying various things to fix your crashing issues. I would update your bios if you...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    In theory, HDMI 2.1 should be able to do 4K 144hz 10 bit. However, some monitors may require you to edit its edid values, to have "reduced blanking" for 10 bit 4K 144hz to work on HDMI 2.1, without DSC. otherwise, you can do 8 bit color and you probably wouldn't notice a difference. Even in...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    The 32GS95UE is a lot brighter than a 42 inch C2. Which would be a better comparison. Larger TVs are almost always brighter. But with OLED, they are indeed. However, its really only at 25% and 10%, that the larger C2 and C3 are solidly brighter. At higher APL, this 32 wins by as much as 100...

    Helldivers 2 Community actually made Sony cave

    It wasn't a fake problem. The game was literally pulled from Steam, for countries which can't use PSN. And people in those same countries whom already owned the game, would not be able to play. Thankfully, Sony was quick to rethink their approach, and restored the game for purchase and play...

    Nintendo Switch Successor Dev Kit Is Reportedly in the Hands of a Spanish Studio

    Transferring an EX GF's Animal Crossing island to an OLED switch, was one of the worst experiences I have had with game data transfer.

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    You don't have to toss your old monitor? Use it for web browsing and general desktop use, and the OLED for games and video. LG has a new pixel structure, along with 4K density on a 32 inch screen. Text clarity, without a direct comparison to a 4K IPS, would likely appear normal to most people...

    High hot spot temps on 4090 ROG Strix

    bottom intake is usually best for this sort of setup. Short travel distance for the air. Naturally moves towards the exhaust. But your case doesn't have bottom intake. Front Intake would certainly help. I can't tell if your case has that. However, its not ideal, because the air from the front...

    Best monitor with MANY limitations

    Bestbuy has a couple Viewesonics with UBC which supports video and 60watt charging. Dunno if that's enough for her specific model. 1440p, 24 inch and 27 inch options. Otherwise, this Asus on Amazon is a great deal. Has USB-C video, but only 7 watt charging. So you'd need the power brick on the...

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    I don't pretend to be an expert. But, I havebhad a few Intel systems over the past 4 years. If I were having problems right now, I would update to the newest bios and use the new "baseline profile" or whatever each brand is calling it. That should disable most of their auto enhancement...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Yeah I run my IPS at '20' for brightness, when I'm web browsing or typing in GMAIL, etc. I don't need 400 nits of white screen. More brightness can be nice on a laptop----while outside. Or a south facing window office, I suppose. My work office faces North.

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    This lowers the max power usage to the actual power usage of a 13600k/14600k. Of course its going to be a huge performance loss. This will only actually be fixed with a micro code update. Until then, all of these "Fixes" are wildly swinging to get waaaay around the issue, maybe. IIRC...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    So if you set your monitor to sleep after say---15 minutes of no use, it should automatically run the pixel clean, as you take your breaks and/or finish work for the day.

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    I dunno about LG. But, most of the QD-OLED monitors force the pixel clean, after a short warning in the middle of your screen. I also don't know what LG's interval is. Does it say in the menus? MSI lets you choose 4 hours or 16 hour intervals, before it forces a pixel clean.

    Very [HOT] 7900X3D $330 @ Antonline

    A simulated 7600X3D does more/less as good as a 7900X3D (sometimes a little worse, sometimes about the same, sometimes better)-----except for games where more than 6 cores scales well. And that's fine and better than "not great" IMO. The point is, if you run into an occasional game which...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    HUD/logo detection is a preference thing, I guess. If it dims the HUD too much in your games, you can turn it down or off, I suppose. But, its meant to help mitigate burn-in, on things you do a lot. So, playing the same game every day. Or watching the same TV show with a static logo, often...

    Anyone using Bitlocker to encrypt extenral drives?

    I haven't used it for an external drive. But, lots for internal. For daily use, their is no perceptible performance difference. You might be able to find a difference if you really look for it. But, if you really need secure data, its worth it. I would have as many recovery options as...

    That should be for when the entire screen is motionless, for X seconds. Many panels also now have HUD and logo detection. As well as detecting when the edges of two windows are side by side.

    [hot]XFX 6750 XT $300 @ Newegg and $309 @ Amazon

    If you want 12GB of VRAM on a budget, you can't go wrong here. Considering a 3060 12GB is still about $290 and this obliterates a 3060: I think this is very warm to lowercase hot, in the current market. $300 https://www.newegg.com/xfx-radeon-rx-6750-xt-rx-675xyjfde/p/N82E16814150887 $309...

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    I still think something changed in the microcode which changed core utilization and current and power draw, for certain scenarios. Probably a little after 14th gen launch. Maybe when they added that feature which boosts game performance. Called APO. Raptor Lake has been out for a long time and...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    And ASUS already proved the older WOLED panel can do higher peak brightness. I'm sure LG's new 27 inch 1440p 480hz monitor will have similar peak brightness to the 27 inch QD-OLED's.

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    Here's RTINGS numbers 100% and 50% window in HDR are ~100 nits better. Overall scene brightness is similar. And some of that is because they updated the firmware for the 27GR to improve HDR brightness. SDR is where the big improvement is. The 27GS also has a mode which disables ABL and keeps a...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    I am confident we will see brighter OLED next year....because I am confident they are artificially holding back current panels, so that they can easily sell us a brighter version next year. Both Samsung and LG released brand new panels with new tech for added brightness, better algorithms for...

    HTPC, not for gaming

    120hz allows 24p content to playback with no judder. Very few playback solutions on PC will even properly do 3:2 pulldown to make it mostly smooth with a 60hz display. Similarly, 72hz usually doesn't work on PC, except for custom settings in something like mediacenter classic, etc.

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    Unless that's a bug with the calibration app------these are supposed to get brighter than QD-OLED, for 1% windows with a test pattern. ~1300 nits. I think there are a few different modes on the monitor, which affect HDR behavior? Maybe check out a couple of reviews to make sense of them, and...
