Re: FSO vs. Exclusive Fullscreen

For Apex you need to figure out how to turn off FSE as well, it forces on now when you turn it off via .exe or registry. You mean Disable FSO (plus other things) so that you are in FSE. Mine runs in FSE fine and yes, I do notice a difference. What version of windows do you have? How do you understa...

Re: HUGE Fix at Input Lag!!!!

God I hate how the only evidence we have here with these tweaks --not just the ones in his thread, but for most of these in general-- is "feeling". Could you guys do a mouse graph test while apex is running in the background with the settings above set and unset? I know what you mean because I hate...

Re: HUGE Fix at Input Lag!!!!

curious if anyone but the original poster of this nvidia profile inspector tweak has been able to edit those last variables (MAX_PENDING_CMD_BUFFERS and MCFORCEHOSTSTAGINGBUFFERSIZE). Not seeing them anywhere. I'm curious what these settings actually do or if it's just placebo? Haven't noticed much...

Re: Discord & Origin clients hammering registry / disk

I guess it depends on how fine grained the GPU scheduler is, but the same goes for VRAM Allocation. These apps can chew on a whole load of dedicated VRAM, obviously one would think when playing a game, all this gets reduced or placed back in main (shared vram) memory until refocussed, but not sure ...

Re: Discord & Origin clients hammering registry / disk

Discord is actually a web browser ...hardcoded to discord.com, and with browser bar/buttons hidden. [...] Most web programmers don't bother optimizing for gentler SSD use, and browser wrappers (like Discord). So Discord should do some optimizing to be gentler to SSDs to help their esports atheles o...

Re: Discord & Origin clients hammering registry / disk

What about standalone discord vs in-browser? I usually have a browser in the background anyway while playing games, and browser discord has less features I assume it also has less OS rights as firefox (here) runs with low privileges even when running as built-in admin. Another curious question is, ...

Re: Official Asus ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN Owners Thread

So I had the vertical bars going across the screen as well. It's just hard to see in the picture. My issue was nothing like what's seen in the pictures. It was extremely obvious without any need to zoom in on the pixels. Imagine numerous alternating thick bars of solid and partially corrupted pixel...

Re: Discord & Origin clients hammering registry / disk

Great catch! Do you have the stats screenshots? And any links to any issue tracking system? (I don't know if they use a public github-style or BugZilla-style system -- but if they do -- then mutliple expert users should pile-in statistics). Many modern systems have a lot of write caching, write lev...

Re: Official Asus ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN Owners Thread

From some other users here, mine and others were like this that randomly showed up and went away, hopefully the 360hz monitors don't get this problem anymore Yeah, that's different than what I had. Another strange thing is that I only had the problem on my PG259QN while my PG258Q was running fine i...
