!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Wait until you experience 500

Every time I get a taste for something better, things get more expensive... I'm going to avoid trying anything higher than 144 for a while.

It's for the best that you do that.

Sincerely, someone who "had" to buy an RTX 4080 after buying a new 200 Hz monitor.

Oh. Fuck....you got the Odyssey G9 as well?

In order for me to even taste the sweet potential of that monitor, I'm having to build a whole new computer. I'm dreading it.

Hide the Pain Harold

The best advice I can give you is to turn off the FPS counter. If the game feels like it's stuttering, turn down the quality. If it feels fine during gameplay, don't fuck with it, and under no circumstances should you enable an FPS counter or frame timing graph.

If you're anything like me and you do enable the FPS counter or frame timing graphs, you'll spend more time optimizing performance than actually enjoying the game...

LOL I like how they mention one spec of the monitor and you instantly know which one they bought.

I just built a new PC with a Ryzen 7800X3D CPU and a Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU, loving it so far. 400fps with Counter-Strike 2 at max settings 1080p

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow, you went all out on that. What chipset? X670, X670E, B650, or B650E?

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

B650, wasn’t planing on OC and figured better to put the money to the CPU and GPU

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Great pick. The X670 and E variants are insanely overpriced for what they provide. People don't need PCIE 5 when there aren't even any non-SSD components that use it.

I made an awful mistake of getting a 1440p OLED instead of the 540 and now a TN panel is going to be very difficult to get used to.
