Yeah, I'm probably just going to go with this advice, I don't think anything is wrong with it because it feels incredible to game on. I came from a Viewsonic XG2401 144Hz 1080p and that was a very well-reviewed monitor that I enjoyed massively, but this Dell is another beast entirely, it's a...

I mean honestly, it feels great when I'm actually gaming on it, I just noticed this behaviour and was worried something was wrong.

Not exactly sure what I'm looking for, but I recorded it for you. The Hz doesn't seem to match the frame rate at all to my eye, except when simulated 60FPS. I tried all simulation modes and Vsync on/off and Gsync. Hopefully, it tells you something. https://streamable.com/0iktit

Right I tested some more, if I cap to anything other than 165 the refresh rate fluctuates with a stable frame rate. If the frame rate is uncapped and I'm getting over 165FPS it'll stay at 165Hz, the same can be said if I cap the frame rate at 165FPS. It also stays at 165Hz on the desktop. So it...

Frame rate is capped using RTSS. Gsync is enabled in the NVCP. The game is New World. I was under the impression the refresh rate should match the frame rate, so if it's 100% stable at 120FPS the refresh rate shouldn't move, but it's all over the place.

I bought the Dell S2721DGFA which is Gsync compatible and I'm noticing the refresh rate isn't matching the frame rate like it's supposed to? I'm using the monitors own OSD to show the Hz and Rivatuner to show the frame rate. My frame rate never moves the Hz fluctuates constantly...

Is there a go to ICC profile for this monitor? I know it's not 100% accurate, and better to do it yourself but I'm not doing professional work so I don't want to spend £150 on a Spyder. It literally just arrived so I'm going to go plug it in.

I just bought the S2721DGFA today for £270 on sale. I'm moving from a 24" Viewsonic XG2401 1080p 144Hz which I've been happy with, but I've wanted to move to 1440p since I got my RTX 3080 and it just seemed like time at this price. I'm a bit worried after reading this thread though, it seems...

And that's definitely preferable to constantly having to be on my phone/discord waiting for drops, it's stressful and frustrating. I'd much rather know I'm number 990 and will get it eventually.

Or us poor sods who didn't have the funds at launch and can't even get in the queue. I now have the money but have no way to get a card, I've been trying for weeks using Twitter stock alerts but they're always gone within 10 seconds, generally before the page even loads. It feels absolutely...

I really wish I had the cash to pre-order at launch, trying to get one now is just awful, if I knew I was xxx in the queue it would be a lot better than my current situation which is trying to outdo bots at 4am lol.

I came into enough money today to buy a 3080, sods law they're still impossible to get unless you're willing to massively overpay. I can't even seem to queue for anymore right?

I'm looking for a bump in performance all around, but mostly for Battlefield V. I'm watching this video here and going from 8600k to 8700k seems huge in this game, so I imagine a 9700k would be even higher? I can sell my 8600k for about £220, so it would only cost me around £180 to upgrade which...

i5 3570k @ 4.3GHz MSI GTX 970 4G @ +100/+300 16GB DDR3 @ 2133MHZ Asus P8Z77-V Pro Yeah I'm happy, I just wish I could get the GPU now as well. I haven't upgraded the guts in so long so I'm looking forward to the boost. CPU and Memory seem to make a huge difference in PUBG which is what I mainly...

Old spec is in my signature. I considered Ryzen for a second but after looking at gaming benchmarks they were just too far behind Intel. I'm using a 144Hz monitor so I really want to be pushing 100+fps as often as possible and Intel just does that better.

That's not what I wanted at all, I just wanted someone with knowledge of current prices to tell me what's considered a decent deal now, and I would do all the searching myself. I thought this would be a 2 minute task for anyone in the know. I ended up going for: Intel i5 8600k Patriot Viper...

Nope, I'll just try to work it out myself as no one seems interested in actually helping. Cheers anyway.

I already said I'd be reusing my H45 cooler. And why do I need 3000MHz RAM? I've been looking at benchmarks and the difference in gaming between 2666MHz - 3200MHz is usually around 0-4fps, that's definitely not worth the cost IMO.

Sorry I wasn't asking you to post competitors links, more along the lines of: DDR4 2666MHz good price = £150 GTX 1070ti good price = £400 etc Just so I know when to pull the trigger if I see the component for that price. £1000 would be perfect. 1080p/144Hz gaming, modern games so not esports...

I've been looking at the difference between 2666 and 3200 and it's usually 0 - 4fps depending on the game, so I definitely don't think it's worth it.
