Re: Recommended Monitor for Steam Machine



P.s. some practical advice for you personally. I really think you should wait for the ps6 to launch. That will set the value/price standard for the next decade . The closest hardware that will launch after it will be rtx 6xxx refresh in 2027. Or worst case rtx 7xxx and rdna 6 a year after ...

Re: Recommended Monitor for Steam Machine

I forgot to make clear I do not think buying an old laptop or even a 5060 laptop today is a good idea. I made those points specifically because I think they are bad choices for gaming even right now nevermind 6 years from now. Yet it is still better off.
A n rtx 5070 laptop is the same chip as a ...

Re: Recommended Monitor for Steam Machine

For anyone still wondering. You don't need to take my word for it. Just listen to gabe himself on their vision https://youtu.be/yeCuasjxsWk I think some of the stuff he says is wrong. Like monetization. The proliferation of Linux or SteamOS is a great thing for everryone long term. It could allow ...

Re: NVIDIA G-Sync Pulsar Asus ROG Strix XG27AQNGV

Article makes a mistake anr says 1000hz clarity but the marketing says 4x. So rounded up 1500hz.
I wonder if that means 120hz strobed gets limited to 4x too or... Guess we will know in 2 months

Re: Vint: Realtime Video Interpolation and CRT Emulation is now Available. What are your feature requests?


I can't quite wrap my head around how exactly pixel response time differences between panels and technologies influence motion clarity once beam-like refresh comes into play? Is pixel response time still important? I guess smearing is eliminated but color accuracy could suffer?

Also, do modern ...

Screen tearing won't matter with vrr + vsync. Infact it wont matter right now with fps caps below your 1% lows. Dont know that number? Just look at the average and turn on the cap near 30% worse than it. 50fps game (35fps ...

Re: 👾👽🛸 TestUFO Version 3.0 LAUNCHED! 👾👽🛸 Go see the big upgrade. 👾👽🛸

Congratulations.
I'm quite liking this update. On android, the ufo feels faster. That must be the proper dpi scaling making it slightly bigger to interger scale. Crt beam indicators don't make it too obvious what they mean. Advanced users (familiar with playing with settings in other tests) should ...
