    Is there a gaming mice that is not garbage ?

    I think your choice of mice is not very good, but they shouldn't be dying in 6 months. I've owned a dozen mice and none of them have died on me. https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Mice,-keyboards,-gaming https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/top-mice...

    High DPI mice

    Nothing. That's it. It's useful for massive monitors where low DPI would be too slow. The vast majority of people don't need anything over 1000 DPI but mouse manufacturers used it as a marketing gimmick. I use 600 dpi on 1920x1080. 400. There was also some talk that doing this has some synergy...

    [DEAD]- LG 45" Ultragear™ QHD 5120x1440p 200Hz Curved - $549 at Amazon

    Could you elaborate? I'm curious. I saw a video recently of playing games on a super-wide monitor like that and it seemed very immersive.

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    True. Compare that to the pictures I took where a pure black screen looks white due to IPS glow: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1ZA3N3Q7C10TT/ So the two monitors I purchased myself had completely different results from the monitor RTINGS showed. What does that say? RTINGS is totally...

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    No, that's not valid at all. I'm very familiar with the mouse-world for example, and tons of really garbage mice were the most popular, largely due to: 1. Ignorant consumers. 2. Heavy & deceptive marketing. This phenomenon occurs in many consumer markets. I don't want to be rude, but I think...

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    Not sure what you mean with this. I use my monitor to read text most of the day. VA has clear text; possibly even more so than OLED?

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    I looked at the recommended monitors for gaming and movies on a major site and they list many IPS monitors. Before I bought my current VA monitor (AOC C27G1: 27", curved, 144hz, 1080p) I tried an IPS (Acer Nitro XV273, 240hz, 27") since I frequently saw them recommended, and I saw that...

    I used to use the overclock.net forum but while I was away it seems they made major changes and possibly sold to a 3rd party at the same time and most of the links went dead. I'm wondering what the chances are of something like that happening to this forum. I know this forum has always been...

    Videocard squeeks when I scroll

    Thanks for the tip! I used a mouse pad instead of toilet paper roll, and it seems to be coming from the PSU! Since this is a different PSU from my old PC, this noise problem is likely unrelated to my mouse Hz problem.

    Videocard squeeks when I scroll

    I hope it's ok to revive this thread since it's a top result in a web search. How would a person verify that it's coming from the GPU? I built an entirely new PC and I'm still having this problem, but I can't pinpoint it by ear. The noise tester app on my smartphone doesn't seem to be precise...

    HOT! Ryzen 7 2700 8 Core Processor $135 @ Newegg

    This does seem like a pretty good deal, but I've seen someone say they got the 2700x for $130. Given that prices gradually decline I think I'll wait for a deal at least that good. $150 is the normal price for the 2700.

    Tt eSports KNUCKER mechanical(?) keyboard

    I'm also curious about this keyboard. It's in the same price range as this CM quickfire pro cherry brown http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129003 They both have NKRO which is mainly what I'm looking for. The reason I'm considering the Knucker is because it's quieter than...

    first time raid w/2 drives+different sizes

    Well that's not what I'm getting raid for anyways. I'm interested more in speed then in data safety. Currently I have only 1 disk with all my programs and data on different partitions. If I used raid1 then both of my drives would have the same data on it, write speed would be the same but read...

    first time raid w/2 drives+different sizes

    even raid1? doesn't raid1 just double the read speed and have identical copies of your data on both drives? wouldn't that be safer AND faster - but only for read speed? isn't raid0 the dangerous one where you trade data for speed? raid5 seemed to be the best of both worlds but you would need at...
