    Force 1920x1080 ?

    That's odd, there's only a set number of pixels on a tv/monitor, so unless it's a 1080p TV or higher you wouldn't be able to use that resolution without scaling. Some TV's have specific hdmi ports for use with PC, what connection are you using, and is it the same as previous?

    New Dell IPS S2721DGF 165hz gaming monitor

    Jumped in with a variation on the same panel, having owned quality ips monitors a few years before, I'm disappointed. BLB & glow not bad at all, but uniformity of colour temperature on white & grey is much worse than expected, I find it distracting when browsing or working. I could play the...

    Bad Ghosting on asus vg27aq. Any way to fix it?

    It depends what TV you were using as the newer stuff is sometimes better than what you find on dedicated pc monitors, but what you're describing doesn't sound normal so don't write it off. Some dumb questions: Definitely playing at native resolution? Are you using a good quality display port...

    Bad Ghosting on asus vg27aq. Any way to fix it?

    I know with some monitors, certain overdrive modes can perform better (or worse) in particular refresh ranges. If you're getting low FPS in one particular game you might be seeing bad 'overshoot', which looks like negative ghosting. Maybe try figure out why your freesync/gsync isn't working...

    1440p with resolution scaling

    Hi guys, Has anyone had experience with jumping to a 1440p monitor for productivity reasons etc but using resolution scaling options to keep the FPS high in some games? For example, I play BFV at 120ish average FPS at the moment, a swap to 1440p will likely lower it substantially with my...

    Ryzen 5900x idle temps 55c!!!

    I doubt it's fully idle, I find that even background processes cause intermittent boosted clocks which cause the spikes in temp, the fan speed will always be playing catch up until you have that constant load like cinebench where your temp is pretty good. I raised my fan curve slightly as it's...

    5800X Boost set to 5050Mhz all cores with AMD Curve Optimizer

    So is that essentially opening up the headroom on the boost MHz but keeping the voltage sensible with those negative curve values? What units is it using, or just arbitrary scale?

    Ryzen 5800x 87c in Cinebench...

    I think some of it appears to be related to how fast the CPU fans can react to really fast temperature spikes because of the boosting. Looking closely at temp graphs and over long periods of high usage I'm pretty comfortable around 70c, but there's a few very small spikes that seem to suggest...

    How to update x570 board for Zen3

    Updated my x570 tomahawk as I was unboxing everything else ready to build, only needed ATX/CPU power, dead easy! If you choose a mobo with the usb>bios button you'll be fine either way. It seemed most of the mid+ ranges of boards had the functionality when I was deliberating.

    Ryzen 5800x 87c in Cinebench...

    Is there any need to fiddle with windows power settings on the 5000 series? I've read about ryzen specific schemes on the previous gen but I don't seem to have that available, using latest AMD chipset drivers.

    Ryzen 5800x 87c in Cinebench...

    It does appear to be a toasty chip, maybe because of the 8 cores on one chiplet, rather than 6/6+6 on the 5600/5900? I've just built mine up today too, seen max 80c after an hour or so of gaming, and that's with a Dark Rock Pro 4 which should be one of the better air coolers available. It has...

    24-27" FreeSync 1080p 144hz options

    Are there any 24" or 27" 1080p Freesync capable monitors that use decent panels? Or are they all exclusively using the same TN 144hz AU job that's been around for yonks?

    2 monitors, 1 HDMI, Windows 7 = BSOD

    I have a 7850 and had a similar issue the other way around, the low 2d clocks with 1 monitor caused the driver to crash when idle. With 2 monitors the clocks sit at 400/1350 which stopped the idle driver crashes... Maybe the lower power 2d state coupled with the higher memory clock that the 2...

    Big Bike Thread

    I believe Sektors share the CSU/Lowers with Revelations. Pre 2012 Revs have a good reputation, I'm surprised you've had so many recurring issues with them. You can find some decent deals on previous year Fox forks if you time it right with Mojo for example. I run some Float 32's with the...
