    DSR on lower-than-native res?

    Good idea, might give that a shot. For now, at least for the games I'm using, I think SSAA via Nvidia Inspector will work. Of course using an all-encompassing DSR-like solution should prove easier but I think I can work with this for now. Still interested to see if anyone has concrete...

    DSR on lower-than-native res?

    Here's my scenario - Just setting up my LG B7 OLED in the living room and making a move to couch PC gaming. TV supports 1080p@120hz and I'd like to supersample at that res. I've used CRU to get 1080p to show as my native res but when I setup my DSR factors it still bases those off 4k...

    Need a PCIe wireless card for gaming

    You already have suggestions that match your requirements exactly, however, I have another option for you. I actually use refurbished wireless AC routers from eBay which I flash to DD-WRT and set to client bridge mode. The performance with this setup is excellent (for wireless) and you can...

    Dell S2716DG - $479.99 - bestbuy

    Great monitor but yeah it can be found for a bit lower from time to time. Forgetting the price and better sales, though, I purchased two of these (one for myself and one for my wife) and they are both great without defects. If someone picks one up, just be sure to use the Dell color profile...

    So I got my new 27" 1440p G-Sync monitor from Dell and...it's behaving strangely

    Yeah, I have this monitor and have found that vsync off, gsync on and framerate capped at ~138fps seems to work the best. If you cap at 140-144fps then you get slight/weird tearing, but if you stay just far enough away from the max refresh rate of the monitor then it works wonderfully.

    Dell S2417DG

    I haven't had first-hand experience with it, but I would bet is is pretty good. I have the 27" version and I love it. Is there a reason he would want the 24" versus the 27"? The 27" can be had at the same price or lower (Best Buy had it for $450 recently).

    Older Home Networking....

    You will get better performance by putting in some wiring and running that to the front, even compared to the single access point with full signal - just the nature of WiFi versus hard-wired there. Comparing to the extender, you will absolutely get better performance since an extender will most...

    Dell S2716DG LCD 1440p TN with G-sync $449.99 at Best Buy

    Ah, and here I thought they were the same thing, just implemented in the menu/OSD directly on the monitors that officially supported ULMB - thanks for the clarification. For older games I might actually prefer ULMB, then, but my 1080 can't even keep a rock solid 144fps in newer games @1440p so...

    Dell S2716DG LCD 1440p TN with G-sync $449.99 at Best Buy

    Yeah I used ULMB on my VG248QE and loved the lack of blur but couldn't stand the reduction in brightness and contrast/colors. And like you said, GSync is pretty great so I'm okay with it. This TN isn't *blurry* by any means, my main point was that I don't think I could go any worse - including...

    Dell S2716DG LCD 1440p TN with G-sync $449.99 at Best Buy

    Any LCD pretty much makes me throw up in my mouth, but I do what I can with what I have and for me 144hz+ and TN is the only way to get an acceptable amount of motion blur. Even with this 144hz gsync TN I still notice the blurring when I look around, I can't imagine what an IPS screen would...

    Dell S2716DG LCD 1440p TN with G-sync $449.99 at Best Buy

    Welp, I just bit on two of these. One for myself, which I'm using now and must say I'm impressed so far, and one for my wife. Just built her a dual purposed home-office/gaming PC w/GTX 970 so the GSync should help when that framerate goes a bit low at 1440p. Getting this crap out of the way...

    Dell S2716DG LCD 1440p TN with G-sync $449.99 at Best Buy

    Damn they have one at $399 open box at the store close to me... Pretty much the perfect panel (for me) but I don't really want to buy any more PC parts, lol. Damnit.

    Supermicro X9SRI (LGA 2011) for $125 at Ebay - DEAL DEAD

    Awesome, thanks for the clarification. In that case I think I'm going to order a new HSF now since this thing does start cranking when my media server needs to start transcoding :).

    Supermicro X9SRI (LGA 2011) for $125 at Ebay - DEAL DEAD

    I haven't checked too much into it but I think I remember something about these boards needing a narrower than normal HSF. Not sure if that's accurate or not, though.

    Supermicro X9SRI (LGA 2011) for $125 at Ebay - DEAL DEAD

    Nice! I will probably replace the HSF sooner than later but mine is really quiet under my conditions so far. Of course, I'm just installing my VMs and setting stuff up, but it might be okay. Doesn't even get very loud when I benchmark and show 100% utilization. Don't get me wrong, the fan is...
