Sagebrush posted:i'm really glad that the monitor megathread convinced me to get a high-refresh monitor because WOW it is such a difference. even just in everyday use. i am vastly more precise with graphics software and the screen just feels smooth and slippery and responsive in a way i didn't know was possible. same, my monitor upgrade later this year is from 240hz tn to 360hz ips since im content with 1080p 25” for gaming

overwatch has longer games too, referencing earlier convo. it’s just that stalemate stuff on 2cp feels not too fun to a lot of people, and other modes provide better snowball potential to an extentShaggar posted:6v6 sucks, mobas suck, they're all unbearably boring to watch. idk if anyone actually enjoys watching them so much as they're propped up by activision/blizzard et.al. throwing money at the tournaments. over watch sucks to watch but is quite fun to play

this is an incredibly mockable position but one of my favorite things to watch in the watch-somebody-else-play arena is daoc fight footage. It only makes any sense if you're an avid player of the game (which i am no longer, i played last year but they shut my good free server down and I won't play live because it's a nightmare) but i just love large scale MMO battles

Jonny 290 posted:wow uh that is really high refresh rate. really? drat yeh, 3070 on 1080p with low settings allows me to push certain simpler-looking games quite far. that said, transition from 144 to 240 was way less apparent than from 60 to 144, and i expect 240 to 360 feel even less impactful both intrinsically, and because there are even fewer games which i can consistently drive at that speed. while there are some advantages to having higher refresh rate even if you’re not saturating it, this is mostly a “i just want a nice thing” purchase for me

I will confess that my ryzen build is one hundred percent vanity toy, i was on a 4670 and happy with everything it did, so i get the 'nice to have but not essential' thing very much. At any rate, i broke 3k USD on this build after the gpu and bigram and everything, and it'll probably be the last desktop I build for 6-8 years so i don't really feel hosed up about it. it's so goddamned fast. i was moving my games around at 3 GB (big b) per second yesterday and it's just hard to grasp how fast these things are now.

i fly fs2020 with an xbox gamepad more than all my fancy hardware. it's a great chill out and look at stuff game. and in civilian sims you have plenty of time to click things in the cockpit, so you don't need a HOTAS anyway.
