I have a 1280x960 monitor in portrait mode running off DVI as my second monitor, maybe the stupidest setup possible, and yet my 1440p/144 G-sync monitor works just fine. I've never had any indication that things aren't working the way they're supposed to no matter what I'm doing on each monitor. There's clearly some combination of factors that will cause issues, but I'm not sure we'll be able to actually identify and isolate them.

orange juche posted:Most graphics cards that are moderately capable of gaming are able to drive any sensible or insensible number of displays simultaneously. You can have any mix of resolutions you wish, as well, with no real issues. Refresh rates should cap at the rates of the respective panels, unless you have variable refresh rates, and there you will run into issues likely on a case by case basis. I havent ever gotten variable refresh rates to work consistently with my GSYNC monitor, when combined with a plain 60hz 1080p monitor, but that may be just a me thing. Klyith posted:The issues with multiple monitors are strictly with different refresh rates. Also the root of these problems tends to be with the DWM, the part of windows that draws all the 2d windows and desktop. DWM is perfectly fine with different resolutions, refresh rate is what it wasn't really designed to handle. This is why the weirdness is on both nvidia and AMD, though different flavors of weirdness with each. Thanks for the info, guys. I never really have anything playing on my second monitor - it's just for work most of the time - and I always run games in fullscreen mode, because old habits die hard. So it sounds like I'll be ok for now EDIT or not if Klom's right lol, ah well

Indiana_Krom posted:Incorrect: in Windows 8+ there is no escape from DWM. It is always running, even when you have an app in "exclusive fullscreen" it is still running inside DWM. When an application requests exclusive fullscreen Windows says "Okay, here you go." and DWM promptly serves it up a nice borderless fullscreen just like everyone else gets. It is all faked/emulated in software, it has been this way for like a decade already: Counter: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/demystifying-full-screen-optimizations/ quote:When using Fullscreen Optimizations, your game believes that it is running in Fullscreen Exclusive, but behind the scenes, Windows has the game running in borderless windowed mode. When a game is run in borderless windowed mode, the game does not have full control of the display– that overarching control is given back to the Desktop Window Manager (DWM). The DWM manages the composition/organization of the desktop display content from various applications, meaning it controls what is rendered and presented to the front of your display and what is held in the background. However, this control has historically resulted in a slight performance overhead vs FSE, where the game has full control. VRR recognizably has differences in how well it works & how much detrimental weirdness happens between "fullscreen" and windowed modes. Like, the video driver is an even lower level than DWM, and the video driver is what's in control of VRR. So whatever the actual chain of video IO behind the scenes is, it is a universally observed fact that VRR has better behavior / less weirdness in fullscreen. When G-sync came out it only supported VRR in fullscreen, so obviously there is a more than just a minor fake difference between fullscreen and windowed.

So does that mean it'll work fine if I have a background whatever open on my different refresh second monitor as long as I'm in fullscreen on the VRR monitor? Does that hold if I *do* alt tab to change something on the second, but go back to fullscreen when I'm done?

Hey, I'm planning on building a new gaming PC because my 7 year old machine finally died when the motherboard gave out. Considering most of the parts are all about the same age, I want to start from scratch. So... What country are you in? USA What are you using the system for? Strictly gaming and internet. What's your budget? Anywhere between $1,500-$2,000. I'm intending to use this machine for probably another 7 years so it might as well be an investment. If I don't need to go that high for what I want, great. If I need a little more, I can maybe make an exception. If you're gaming, ...? So I'll admit I'm an idiot when it comes to resolutions/refresh rate stuff. I don't need 4k, but I'd like to try 1440p because why the hell not, right? I'd also like to be able to try VR but if that's going to jack the price up to an unreasonable amount then I don't need it. I'll pay $500 for the GPU if I really have to. A smooth 60fps on Ultra setting for most modern games would be wonderful (Cyberpunk 2077 is in my mind as I type this). A preemptive thank you for any and all advice. I only come here because I know you guys know your poo poo.

Does that hold if I *do* alt tab to change something on the second, but go back to fullscreen when I'm done? It depends a lot on what the background whatever on the other screen is. One of the most common annoyances is that any video on the 2nd monitor makes the game on the VRR monitor either lock to 60hz or get hitchy. (Video also has special interaction with the GPU for stuff like hardware decoding.) If it's a browser showing a game walkthrough or something it's more likely to be fine. And something like Notepad is the most safe. Alt-tabing away from the game and back should be fine.

I have been out of the PC building scene for a bit and my 3570k is actually starting to show its age in stuff I've been playing nowadays. I thought it was my even-older GPU, but a 1660 Ti only somewhat helped and I'm realizing it's time to bring the rest of the rig up to par too. Since it's DDR3, that means CPU/mobo/RAM, since GPU/PSU/SSDs are all new enough that I'm not concerned (less than 2 years old on everything). What country are you in? US, close enough to a Microcenter that I can end up waiting on the 18 minute pickup if I leave as soon as I click buy. What are you using the system for? Gaming What's your budget? Probably like $500 at the top end? Can wiggle based on what's good right now. If you're gaming... I run at 1080/60 FPS (two displays); I'd prefer things run on the higher end of that.

PC Part Picker made some noise about the motherboard possibly needing a BIOS update before being able to use that CPU - is that an actual concern? I haven't actually used any AMD kit since like the K6 days (no actual ~brand loyalty~ per se, just every build in memory has been Intel) and would have nothing to use as an old CPU to get the update done.

Microcenter will generally slap a "ryzen 3000" sticker on the boxes to indicate that they have been updated, I bought a B450 Mobo from the southern california one months ago and it was already updated, I'd assume just about all of the stock on microcenter shelves has that sticker already.

Hey folks I posted in here before but I never pulled the trigger, but I'm looking into a new PC again. Here's what was suggested to me last time: PCPartPicker Part List: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor Motherboard: MSI B450-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory Storage: HP EX920 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB GAMING OC PRO Video Card Case: Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Here are my desired specs: What country are you in?: USA What are you using the system for?: Gaming and mid-level Unreal Engine development What's your budget? Up to $1500. I'm hoping for the most bang for my buck but I'm willing to invest a little. If you’re doing professional work, what software do you need to use? What’s your typical project size and complexity? I'm hoping to put out an amateur solo project in the next year or two, I need something good enough to learn on and get to higher level development (at which point I'll upgrade again) If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution? I'm using This, 1080p 144hz. I'm open to a second monitor but I'll worry about it later. How fancy do you want your graphics, from “it runs” to “Ultra preset as fast as possible”? Medium graphics is good enough for me but I should probably keep it decently powerful for the Unreal engine stuff. Anything changed in the last few months? Any suggestions?

So, I got my current computer roughly 5 years ago as the, what the SA thread at the time called:quote:SA Penny-Pincher - PC gaming on a console budget, and console-like expectations of performance I have the opportunity now to upgrade, it's not something I'm able to do all the time, it may be a year or two before I have the opportunity again, and while at the moment the computer is still 'okay,' I think it'd be a good time to upgrade to prep for the upcoming console generation--I think this one's about to be left behind? I don't see any example builds in the main post in this thread anymore, so I'm not sure what to get, but basically I'm after more or less the same kind of thing, just updated to today's standards. What do y'all suggest? Something simple, if possible, my max budget is around $1,000 Oh, and for more information, I'm in the USA, this is mostly for gaming, and I'm using a flat screen tv as a monitor--I have no idea on it's particular specs. This is more or less a pc-from-a-couch setup. For what I'm looking for, smooth gameplay is the most important thing, I'm hoping to at least be able to run medium-to-high graphics for games coming out in the first year or two, but meh.

Support for NZXT Kraken Liquid CPU Coolers, models X42, X52, X62, X72. Known values for fan and pump PWM limits of AIO cooling solutions are now used as defaults. I noticed the additions just by chance while clicking around, it puts the minimum pump speed from the stupid NZXT software as the RPM baseline by default.

Basically my current 3-4 year old machine's motherboard is starting to die and rather than rebuild an olderish machine I'm figuring I may as well upgrade while salvaging what I can. I'll be bringing the old 1070 GTX, SSDs, and NVMe, over while scrapping the rest. The thing I'm a little concerned about is whether I can get away with a 450W PSU. The parts picker site is estimating my wattage at about 350-380W so I feel throwing an extra 100ish on the top should be fine. My current PSU is a 600W bronze which I feel was probably overkill. Also- should I throw the $$$ to upgrade the CPU to an i7? I probably don't need the extra horsepower but the extra $100 won't kill me and the wattage is the same. The big thing that I'm going for here is making this thing as small and quiet as possible. I think this should work.

(And if you're not going to OC why get a K?) But you might want to look at the last couple dozen pages and notice a trend in CPU choice. That trend is there for a reason, AMD is solidly beating Intel at that price range.

You are aware that in those last 5-10 years Intel was loving up their processor security really badly, like someone being able to read everything in your PC memory with a javascript inside a web browser badly? And that since this was discovered there've been a series of microcode and OS-level mitigations against these flaws, most of which have reduced performance?

Is that a worthwhile upgrade for the price? If you're running thread-heavy scientific computing code I think it makes sense. Most image processing code scales linearly with core count, so you're paying ~$200/10% more for 33% faster processing. If you're working professionally with it I think that's a worthwhile trade over a couple of years; depending on what you're doing and how much time you spend waiting for the cpu to crunch out results you could justify going up even further in core count. It's more than a little painful building a HEDT system out of your own pocket though. I had work pay for my threadripper system, not sure I could have justified paying $1000+ of my own money on a cpu and I work on the sort of light transport simulation software that's commonly referred to as "embarrassingly parallel".

Found a couple cases on sale now and wanted to see if anyone has an opinion on the Phanteks P300A VS the Corsair SPEC-06.
