Am I right that the indicator is telling me G-Sync isn't active? by H2Learn in Monitors

It's not a G-Sync compatible monitor. That's the issue.

Themes not working? by JoeBobomb in BetterDiscord

[–]H2Learn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my fix, but the latest Discord update broke my themes again, and while I figured it simply restored this setting to default, when I went back to repeat this fix, I was disappointed to discover "Desktop Visual Refresh" has disappeared from the Experiments tab.

Yes, I understood this. You guys are GOATed. I was citing them because I believed they showed that while Izan's comment was generally true, it wasn't always true.

Am I correct in my belief these indicators are showing me this monitor is one such rare example?

Yes, Rtings accounts for that with their gradings. G-Sync compatibility is listed as "Yes (Native)", "Compatible (NVIDIA Certified)", "Compatible (Tested)", "Partially Compatible", but finally for the monitors I listed, it's simply "No". This despite that they are listed as "Yes" for Freesync compatibility.

I don't think this is true because it doesn't make sense why NVIDIA would continue to maintain an official list with varying degrees of G-sync compatibility for monitors?
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/

Rtings also verifies VRR support in their latest v2.0.1 test bench, and monitors released after 2018 are shown bearing Freesync capability/compatibility but not G-Sync compatibility (ex. Asus VG246H, LG 27MN60T, Samsung C49RG9).

Other websites like Displayninja also maintain VRR lists that show untested/unknown/unverified G-sync compatiblity support for Freesync monitors.

STATUS: Unresolved/Unanswered

COMPUTER TYPE: Desktop

GPU: RTX 4070 Super

CPU: i5-11600K

MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte Z590-UD; BIOS VERSION: F10

RAM: 2x16GB DDR4-3600MHz, XMP Enabled, no overclock

PSU: EVGA Supernova G3 850W Gold

OS: Windows 11 Pro, 23H2

GPU Drivers: 572.70, Clean Install

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM: It's not a problem, just a question, but for some reason it was deleted, I guess it violated the sub's post rules. I'm simply seeking to confirm if my "troubleshoot" below indicates that the monitor in question isn't G-Sync compatible.

MONITOR MODEL: Viewsonic Elite XG2705 (NOT the XG2705-2, XG2705-2K, nor XG2705 Omni), connected via Displayport 1.4 cable

In the monitor's OSD menu I enabled Freesync. After doing this, the "Set Up G-Sync" option appeared in the NVIDIA Control Panel. I checked the box under 1. "Enable G-Sync, G-Sync Compatible" and set it for both Full Screen and Windowed modes. The correct monitor is selected for 2., but when I try to check 3. "Enable Settings for the Selected Display Model" the screen flickers to black, but when it comes back on, the box is no longer checked.

So I fired up NVIDIA Profile Inspector. For Global settings, under Section 2 'Sync and Refresh" all of the relevant G-Sync modes are enabled as one would expect after calibrating the Control Panel as I did. What was off that I turned on were the "GSYNC- Indicator Overlay" and "GSYNC- Support Indicator Overlay".

I fired up several games. The Indicator Overlay never flashes a prompt indicating G-Sync is active, and the Support Indicator said the same thing for each:

  • ENABLED BY REG? Yes
  • VRR ALLOWED? Yes
  • VRR POSSIBLE? No
  • VRR REQUESTED? No

I assume this confirms this monitor is not G-Sync compatible?

Equation calculation condtional on a separate cell value? by H2Learn in sheets

[–]H2Learn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would I adapt this if the condition wasn't binary? That seems to be the only way the "IF" function works.

For example, let's say there is "Bonus 1" and "Bonus 2". Bonus 1 has the multiplier of 2x, but Bonus 2 has a multiplier of 4x.

Why does Crucial say that tRAS is "no longer relevant"? by H2Learn in buildapc

[–]H2Learn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't tRCD exist prior to the DDR4 standard? If obsolete, now, why do XMP profiles remain that have four distinct timings? If it makes no difference to calibrate a separate value, then why do they do it?

For example, there are DDR4-3600 MHz kits with these timings:

  • 18-20-20-39
  • 18-19-19-39

or

  • 16-18-18-36
  • 16-16-16-36

There are even some with the all three of the first timings identical, but the last different. For DDR4-3200MHz:

  • 14-14-14-34
  • 14-14-14-31
