    [Wanted] Board-powered GPU, GT640+ performance-wise

    Bump. Case won't matter anymore, we're gonna sort him out with a different one. His is a SFF which can barely pack a Chinese sweat shop worker in. Power supply will also be a non-issue but will still mandate a board-powered card, I'm swapping one of mine with his. Budget is R1,000 - slightly...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    I'm not using DP just yet, still on the included HDMI cable. The only issue I'm encountering so far is what seems like the backlight flickering at higher refresh rates, in The Division 2. I haven't tested other games to see whether the issue is replicated nor whether Freesync is involved or not...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    I'm planning on eventually getting one of these: Lindy 3m Displayport 1.4 Cable - Anthracite "UHD resolutions up to 8K 7680x4320@60Hz 4:2:2 8bit, including 4K 4096x2160@160Hz 4:4:4 8bit and HDCP are supported. DisplayPort 1.4 technology and DisplayPort compliance certification ensures...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Thanks, so it's not just me who isn't able to load these profiles... I'll do a 425-patch run tonight with nothing I hadn't always done in the past and see what happens. In the mean time, if you want to see what the profile looked like, load it in DisplayCal using the 'load settings' (folder...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    This was the closest to a 'transferrable' SDR <-> HDR 'switching' profile I've made so far. That is to say, one where the colours and brightness didn't get super funky in Division 2 and actually looked better in the end...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    12-bit 60Hz run I did last night produced this: B100 C50 R49 G42 B44 I find it interesting this combination produced such a comparatively-constrained amount of green/yellow volume (though more orange/red in relative terms when comparing 'extents' - though again all four are irrelevant if...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Yeah, OSD for RGB values and brightness/contrast as pertinent. Here's the 100Hz '10-bit' (non-HDR) calibration result, done on the provided HDMI cable. From the looks of it, the panel and/or controller may in fact genuinely be able to benefit from the 'extra bits'; which would translate...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Not sure what panel type it's using, personally. Supposedly it's a IPS-like AH-VA, but I don't know for sure. Using this page's chart: Creative tools for Creative mind the result I get points to S-PVA, with a green tint to the display. I haven't tried doing a calibration run with a correction...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Not yet. I let a run go today while I was at work, on over 4000 patches, and got this for a result: With rather-excellent accuracy/consistency, to boot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QrRerKfwa94u3Ofc5j6yw4iFZdLFqvZK/view?usp=sharing But for some reason, even after recompiling it from the...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Oh, another quirk to note for anyone also attempting to calibrate their monitor OR adjusting their on-monitor colours while either the auto or 2084 HDR modes are enabled; while you can still adjust your RGB values on the monitor, enabling the HDR modes OR turning your monitor off and back on...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    For giggles the first time calibratinag, I tried a HDR in Windows on, HDR on monitor on(?) run which took 5h30min only to receive an absolute garbage result (super dark image where it started out super bright, and everything had a strange dark teal/navy-blue hue to it) Thereafter I did two more...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Strictly speaking, one doesn't precisely need anything 'special' to calibrate for a 'super-wide gamut', just a colorimeter/spectrometer which can deal with the extreme differences not previously 'a thing' for monitors. The big problem comes in at precisely how a monitor is 'doing' HDR though...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    It's funny, I actually wrote up an over9000 word post on calibrating your monitors both by eye and using a colorimeter/spectrometer, but then figured it'd be entirely too wordy and so snubbed it without bothering to save it... But I'm gonna cover at least a few things here for now. So what...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Problem there it says it's a LSM236HP02-G, which is a 23.6" panel. So inherently, the info in the firmware isn't even correct. It's a slightly-similar situation to my LG 25UM58-P's controller's service menu in which you can change the panel and panel subversion it thinks it's using to the 29 or...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    I dunno mang the R3k was totally worth it for the first Christmas-anticipation-like feelings I've had since I was a kid, if nothing else. Christmas in Junely or something. Nog net 7 slaapies.

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Weellllll, a pixel density of 0.2331 (note I gave a screenshot of a pixel density of 0.2335 for 2560x1440 27") is actually 2564x1444. One could throw that into CRU and it'll display at the resolution in Windows, but it'd cause all sorts of headaches beyond that, such as weird visuals for...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Honestly, the worst thing about it was that the Sunday morning before booze was going to become available again, I was throwing up and had a fever, and from Monday to Wednesday when I got my results I inherently (a) wasn't supposed to and thus didn't visit a liquor store and (b) even if I could...

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    Sweet. Is this with LCD - Native timing? If so, try it with LCD - Reduced, see if you can increase the refresh rate farther. One of the constraints will be the pixel clock, which is talked about briefly here: CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) Tips, Tricks and Monitors OC (LCD/LED/CRT) And for...

    That's a shahp wrap you've got going there now. The bezel thickness is certainly doing your setup a favour.

    Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

    If this is entirely the case, then an interesting thing to note is the dot pitch they list there is in fact that of a 2560x1440 monitor. I won't have mine for a few weeks still, my uncle had to buy one on my behalf at a Checkers near him, and since I've got the 'rona he couldn't come through to...
