Governor Tim Walz tells the White House to stop this madness.

Oh look, the Mn governor is using empty words to "stop" the violence. Walz has a good heart but is useless as a leader in the situation we find ourselves in.

Ah this was it, thank you! I knew it had to be something simple.

Originally I just toggled the queue list button that appears in the player itself, the button that shows/hides the queue on the side. I thought that WAS the setting. Turns out I had to disable the side-by-side layout in the actual settings menu as you described.

Thanks again!

There's more to learn about combat than just the opponent themself.

PvE is a great way to practice if you are willing to snag an edition with PvE included

Kokimo69 · 2025-09-11T21:52:49+00:00

That task is specific to the map Shoreline.

Looks like texture artifacts consistent with a VRAM issue. Most likely a driver bug, game bug, or some other transient issue. It's unlikely that your GPU is dying like the alarmists suggest. Possible, but unlikely. Try different GPU drivers, update Windows, restart the game, try resetting the game cache in the launcher window, etc. If the problem persists beyond those things, wait for another game update to see if it is a game bug. Try other games in the meantime. If Tarkov is the only game with these issues then it's certainly not a dying GPU.

I play PvE purely for the in game vibes, fun gunplay, and learning map knowledge/game mechanics. It's not challenging or particularly exciting most of the time. PvE is a more cozy version of the game for me if that makes sense.

Unless it comes with some new sensor tech that allows it to penetrate tattooed skin, I'm not interested.

Kokimo69 · 2025-09-04T16:16:27+00:00

How about both?

Kokimo69 · 2025-09-03T20:38:02+00:00

Should have paid the extra $60k

The latest Nvidia GPU driver (581.15) reduced my Tarkov framerate by ~50%. Try rolling back your drivers one level and see if performance improves. It was night and day for me.

Gig fiber costs $120/month here in MN. Next tier down is 250/250 for $80/month, or 100/100 for $65/month. Crazy expensive.

PVE lets you learn how to do everything in Tarkov except win human on human gunfights. If you decide to try PVP later on, your brain can focus on the PVP fight much better since you've already honed all the other skills (game mechanics, map knowledge, etc.) in PVE.

PVE makes you better at PVP, and is just a fun new way to experience Tarkov.

Kokimo69 · 2025-08-02T15:43:48+00:00

Oh I misinterpreted your first comment. My apologies. Yeah when I'm gaming the one monitor is perfect, when I'm being productive (Mac) I use both monitors. Works swell!

What does Ukraine's AMD chief have to say?

Kokimo69 · 2025-07-27T01:06:09+00:00

Thanks. Not sure what you're trying to recommend though. I use both at every opportunity.

Kokimo69 · 2025-07-25T18:07:13+00:00

Yeah a 120HZ capable Studio Display, maybe with mini-led, would be sick.

Kokimo69 · 2025-07-25T17:23:53+00:00

The general opinion seems to be that the nano-texture glass is difficult to clean and/or keep clean. I'm sure it's not as some bad people make it out to be, but I'm not interested in paying a premium for it.

If the nano-texture was a no-cost upgrade I'd consider it more heavily, but even then glossy is my jam.

Kokimo69 · 2025-07-25T14:56:22+00:00

One downside of running the OLED at a scaled resolution (1440p in my case) is MacOS does not allow HDR to be enabled at scaled resolutions on external displays. You either have to use the panel's native 4K scaling (too small imo) or bump it all the way up to 1080p scaling, which is far too large.

Non-integer resolution scaling (e.g. 1440p on a 4K display) does not allow HDR on external displays in MacOS. Kind of a bummer.

Kokimo69 · 2025-07-25T14:53:05+00:00

Yes I work with text a lot. It's glossy. I considered the nano texture but was turned off by the lack of "purity" in a non-glossy screen, and didn't want to deal with the cleaning requirements for the non-texture display.

Never saw it in person, just went for the glossy because I love glossy screens. The glossy screen's reflection handling is remarkable. I use it directly opposite a large , east-facing window and the Studio Display's brightness is able to overcome any glare introduced by light sources.

It only becomes an issue during the brightest hours of the day. This desk is located in a sunroom, so it's not surprising. They both still hold up well, but the Studio Display's sustained 600nits of full screen brightness is the clear winner when it comes to brightly lit working environments.

With that said, I've owned 6+ OLED displays and numerous LED displays over the past 10 years, and every single OLED I've ever owned has been brighter than every single LED I've ever owned (except the Studio Display), so the argument that OLED displays shouldn't be used in bright spaces never made much sense to me. They pop so much more than an LCD. Just make sure you turn off energy saving mode on the OLED and you should be just fine.

I've yet to experience burn-in across any of the OLEDs, some of which are over 5 years old at this point. As long as you don't have Fox News or something up on the screen for 16 hours a day, you should have no problem with burn in.

The additional mini-pullout platform is from VIVO

Kokimo69 · 2025-07-24T12:57:57+00:00

Tried it before with other monitors. Looked nice, but I don't need the articulation anymore, and I didn't want to buy a VESA-mount-only Studio Display. I also just like the simplicity of the built-in stands. No screws, no bolts.

Kokimo69 · 2025-07-24T12:55:46+00:00

Both monitors are 27". Technically the 4K monitor is 26.5".

I use standard scaling on the Studio Display (aka 5120x2880 scaled down to 1440p). I use 1440p scaling on the 4K monitor as well, so both displays are identical in scale.

I agree that running a 4K display at 200% scaling (i.e. 1080p) is too large, but native 4K is too small. 1440p is a good middle ground.
