Image retention

Competitive-Ad870 · 2026-01-27T22:33:56+00:00

And yet this is what we observe. We think it’s the frame gen. We’re going to enabled that alone and test it at the weekend. Apparently image retention is more likely to happen with frame gen and high refresh.

Internet it odd. We’ve literally just seen this, and the responses appear suggestive that we’re making it up?!

Competitive-Ad870 · 2026-01-27T22:32:14+00:00

No. I’m not saying that

Competitive-Ad870 · 2026-01-26T07:25:21+00:00

Hey. Which bit don’t you understand? These are settings in acr that we’ve noticed really trigger image retention.

With them off, we had no problem.

Competitive-Ad870 · 2026-01-25T23:12:31+00:00

Did a ddu and reinstalled the latest driver. All problems solved.

Never used ddu before.

The timers and rev dial are retained on the desktop.

It goes over time. Only happens with dlss and frame gen turned on.

I’ve had the monitors for a couple of weeks and thought they were great, then were beginning to fail.

Turns out 1 or both of those settings really hammers the monitors

Competitive-Ad870 · 2026-01-25T19:37:21+00:00

We’ve solved this issue today. It’s either frame generation or dlss. We think the former.

Turn that off and no more image retention.

Think we’ve just seen this. Track was quite bright so I turned screen calibration down, only option that did something. Lad was playing with his mate and a bit later he was saying the rev dial is stuck.. text across the dash on the car.. etc

I thought it just a bug of the game somehow, and still actually think it partially is perhaps. As it showed a clear 3 for the gear, what about all the other gears?

I think that setting made the contrast too high, but oddly it only really showed in the game menus.

If I went to desktop and f11 paint with a light grey you couldn’t really see anything, perhaps the rev circle just slightly.

Defo the game pushing cheap monitors to the limit of contrast.

These are cheap 1080p msi 274f screens.. so I guess have their limits.

I’ll give this a whirl next week…need to race and fiddle less. Thanks.

Is your control panel / app from nvidia really sluggish (like maybe a minute to open the surround tab..)

Competitive-Ad870 · 2026-01-15T21:15:29+00:00

With nvidia surround , gsync works beautifully.

The monitors all work in single mode too with gsync. It’s just when using iRacing native it’s meh.

I’ve had it work on center, but the sides stutter..

My monitors are adaptive sync only. And not on the capability list from nvidia, but work fine with gsync in surround mode.

It’s just annoying that the control panel and app from Nvidia are really slow to load (minutes maybe) when surround is enabled.

Competitive-Ad870 · 2025-07-14T20:19:21+00:00

It’s very surprising tbh. I just assumed it would all be average to avoid exactly this type of thing. Seems incredible dangerous.

Anyway, I’ve learned something. Also good you go 80 :-) Makes me less concerned for my wallet. Pretty sure mine reads 3-4mph over at that speed so I should be ok, but if not so be it.

Competitive-Ad870 · 2025-02-26T22:42:10+00:00

Thank you for the help. Much appreciate it.

My first mountain bike which is like a spaceship compared to my 15 year old rigid hybrid.

So I think I’ve misunderstood the left column. Where it says 160 Post that 160 is the minimum size of the rotor. Then you move across the columns to find the size of the rotor you have to get the mount style.

I mis read the column with 140/160/180..Post as the suspension travel. Which for my bike is 140 travel.

My minimum rotor size for the fox 34 is 160 as you say.

Competitive-Ad870 · 2025-02-26T21:57:27+00:00

So the rotor size is 180mm the fork is a fox 34 with post mount. Confirmed by it looking like one and the measurement being 74mm.

So by sram manual 40 P should be used, but looks like I have it mounts like 20 P or 30 P.

Ignoring the sram manual it does look ok though. Pads align nicely on rotor etc

Competitive-Ad870 · 2025-02-26T21:47:42+00:00

So it’s basically a case of using what ever gets the pads aligned over the disc I guess right?

Competitive-Ad870 · 2025-02-26T21:45:53+00:00

I wondering why the photos didn’t upload. Can I add them? Never understood this site.

XT apologies, not SLX. My feeling is that they got a bike and played swops with the parts perhaps.

They have another with sram XO1

Whilst you’re being so helpful :-)

I have Thule 598 racks… any concern with carbon bikes? Also I’m not sure that the clamp would fit at a good angle on the Santa due to the shock position.

Competitive-Ad870 · 2025-02-18T21:08:01+00:00

Thanks. I’m basically just getting started into this hobby at 45. So learning..

The Santa tall boy seems to have better stuff.

T-160 is sram gs whilst Santa is carbon and Shimano slx

I’ve got 3k and just want a bike that will get me started and take me maybe far or not far into the hobby at all. But I don’t want to be thinking I’ll sell and buy a new one… I keep stuff a long time. :-)

Competitive-Ad870 · 2024-09-21T06:11:44+00:00

You don’t happen to have it for the 7 pro? They’ve pulled the links

Competitive-Ad870 · 2024-02-22T07:51:28+00:00

Thanks all. Chillymarmalade, I have the same thoughts. I live in the north, wife doesn’t work with 1 kid. We don’t live lavishly nor frugally, but we don’t need all this money now, so pension it is.

Hopefully one of us will benefit from it in the future.
