    240hz monitor user experience with sub 240hz content?

    I have a problem with VRR in that I can't actually test it until I buy a new GPU which might not be until earlier next year (risking that 12GB RTX 3060 rumour for the VRAM for 3D rendering reasons). Converting to USD from local it's the Lenovo Y25-25 at $200, which unfortunately have no real...

    240hz monitor user experience with sub 240hz content?

    Good information, thanks. That was my understanding as well that in terms of your point B). But I had dificulty finding corroborating/supporting information through searching online. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on 1/2 V-Sync or even 1/4 V-Sync options on a 240hz in terms of behaviour...

    Fallout 4 and Skyrim (or even Oblivion/Morrowind/FO3) with high refresh display (240hz, or 144hz+)

    I'm resigned to the idea of only being able to play them at 60 fps (although if higher great). I'm more so just checking if there's any pitfalls that make the experience worse on a 240hz display than say 144/120hz or 60hz. But it seems like a fps limiter or 1/4 v-sync are viable if needed.

    Fallout 4 and Skyrim (or even Oblivion/Morrowind/FO3) with high refresh display (240hz, or 144hz+)

    Did they fix the issue with respect to physics timing dependent on frame rate and v-sync? I've searching to but seem to get mixed messages on it. I'm not really concerned about necessarily running the games at 60 fps+ (much less 240fps, not sure if any CPU/memory combo can do that even) but if...

    Fallout 4 and Skyrim (or even Oblivion/Morrowind/FO3) with high refresh display (240hz, or 144hz+)

    I'm wondering about people's experience with playing Fallout 4 and Skyrim (or even Oblivion/Morrowind/FO3) with a high refresh display? Obviously I'm not buying a 240hz display specifically for those games but due to other reasons. But I'm wondering if there's still any catastrophic issues with...

    240hz monitor user experience with sub 240hz content?

    It's not the competitive game type experience I'm concerned with. But I only play one game like that regularly or likely will for the foreseeable future. The rest, given that I fall into the "max settings" OCD camp, will likely be closer to 60 fps if anything. For instance, not sure if you do...

    240hz monitor user experience with sub 240hz content?

    I'm curious what people's experiences are, including potential drawbacks, of using a 240hz display for sub 240hz content? Over say a "standard" 120/144hz. I only play 1 game regularly (including for the foreseeable future) that can hit those frame rates. The rest of the usage will be single...

    DF: Future-Proofing Your PC For Next-Gen Gaming

    We don't need to speculate on Jaguar performance (Xbox One/PS4) as it was released for PC platforms. These are Cinebench 10 singlethread numbers from Anandtech. CB isn't everything but there is data for all 3 architectures. Core 2 Duo Q6600 2.4ghz 2006 - 2778 i5-2500k 3.3ghz 2011 - 5860...

    Best SSD drive when Samsung is priced too high?

    Best in what way? SM controllers paired with Micron 64L TLC NAND tend to lead the read metrics at low QDs even over Samsung drives. Weakness comparatively, especially with the controller, is write performance as the drive fills.

    DF: Future-Proofing Your PC For Next-Gen Gaming

    I feel you're making an assumption here that future console games will not fully leverage the CPUs placed in them. The problem wouldn't be if console CPU's are only running at something like <50% utilization to reach 60 fps. The concern would be is if they are end up running nearer to 100%...

    PS5 - The Future of Gaming | The Power of V

    I wasn't comparing the PS5s specific SSD. Also for the most part on average PC NVMe drives are also faster in random performance latency. But the limitation here is NAND itself (as the technology has considerations for cost/size and persistence over other memory types to trade off in...

    DF: Future-Proofing Your PC For Next-Gen Gaming

    I'm not sure what the exact criteria is as to what constitutes as future proofing but the biggest concern I'd have is with the CPU. I feel people are not realizing how small of a relative gap current CPUs have to the upcoming consoles relative to the past, especially if the recommendation is...

    Quantic Dream titles including Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human coming to PC

    They've always been somewhat of a niche/specialty game type, well at least to the crowd that'll likely frequent hardocp. They're just modern takes on the old style adventure games which were also often bogged down by pixel hunting a "needle in a haystack." I mean for every one of these sequels...

    Sony Is Struggling With PlayStation 5 Price Due to Costly Parts

    An interesting issue to consider is the that of resellers and scalping. I feel any aggressive pricing (low) will really more so be to the benefit of people looking to resell to profit which creates an interesting consideration. The rumors point to the supply side being low. The resell market...

    PS5 - The Future of Gaming | The Power of V

    Just a comment on this, since this seems to be a very common misconception, that the speed advantage of SSD (SATA) over HDDs on the PC especially for typical application loading (eg. games) is not really due to the sequential transfer rate difference. The real advantage with SSDs is that they...
