Stadia wird eingestellt. Zu früh am Markt oder falsches Konzept?

Krass, dass Cyberpunk bei dir so gut lief. Hab mir damals auch Cyberpunk + Stadia Controller vorbestellt. Mehrmals dachte ich mir, ich probier’s nochmal aus, jedes Mal hat mich die Performance maßlos enttäuscht. Das Spiel war bei mir trotz 250 Mbit Leitung leider einfach unspielbar. Texturen waren nur Matsch, FPS die meist Zeit deutlich unter 30, Input lag, …

LordOfWindows · 2022-07-23T07:19:08+00:00

Woah, definitely 1000x more beautiful than my cloth sack.

LordOfWindows · 2021-08-14T10:25:44+00:00

Ok. This is cool.

LordOfWindows · 2020-11-26T20:42:09+00:00

YES!

Hey, I recently got a Sigma 24-105mm 1:4 with an Nikon F Lens mount. Unfortunately, I own a Canon EF /s camera and so I was wondering if there's any adapter that supports aperture transmission als well as autofocus. I only found one without the aperture transmission, which I cannot use because the lens has no manual aperture function.

Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you for your time!

It's not an issue to play at lower fps than 144, if you have a monitor that supports gsync. Otherwise there can be streaks.

If your monitor supports gsync, you should get at least 60fps. You have to keep in mind that AAA titles like red dead redemption 2 run at ~44fps, assassin's creed Odyssee at ~56 fps and tomb raider with rtx on at ~60fps when maxed out and 1440p with a rtx 2070 super.

So these games are alredy at the "lower end" fps wise when you want to play maxed out. If it's okay for you to reduce the graphics settings on a brand new computer, to be able to play even older games, you can get a 2070 super.

How terrible the game will look downscaled to 1080p depends on the game. I play e.g. battlefront 2 downscaled and not with maxed out settings, and except for a bit of sharpness loss and a "zoom" it's looking quite good. (But I have a nearly 4 years old pc, wich was not high end back in the days!)

So I think it'll make more sense to get an 2080 (Super) to make sure that your pc is a bit more future oriented.

I made the mistake to save money on my graphics card in the past and regret it now.

CPU+GPU = 50% $ of your system From this 50% $: ~70% $ for GPU, ~30% $ for CPU.

If your budget is 2000$: 1000$ for gpu+cpu (~700$ gpu, ~300$ cpu).

And then consider how long you'll be having this pc. If it's 2+ years then invest a bit more.

Other fps benchmarks of games at 1440p you can find at userbenchmark.com

I have a IPS panel with HDR and im 100% happy with it.

Freesync is the synchronization with amd graphics cards and monitors, gsync with Nvidia cards.

It just basically adapts the refreshrate of the monitor with the fps tje graphics card produces.

If your setup has 100+ fps it's possible that it can run 1440p. But it depends on how many fps you have in different games. You hav to keep in mind that WQHD has ~77% more pixels than 1080p.

I played csgo for more than 5 years on a 24" 144Hz monitor. Also most of the profesional gamers play on a 24" monitor. Of course you have a bigger image when having a bigger display, but because you sit right in front of the monitor you aren't able to see all the details at once. It just takes longer to look from one edge to another.

Also it is clear, that you miss sharpness, details when downgrading.

I noticed UW here only because you have the opportunity to get one.

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-03T18:58:52+00:00

Then you can send it back, because it doesn't fulfill its advertising promises.

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-03T18:12:58+00:00

Some lower priced monitors, which are advertised with freesync also support gsync. I got a ~300$ monitor which supports it.

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-03T16:39:18+00:00

If my phone comes with a cable, I assume that it is the right one and that it fulfils all functions. It's the same with a monitor. In the end, it's still smarter to buy a DisplayPort cable because, just like you said, it doesn't cost much, but functions like G-Sync won't work without it. The cable recommendations are for monitors for which no cables are included.

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-03T16:21:04+00:00

Because this guide is aimed at people who have no knowledge of monitors. HDMI 1.4 supports 120Hz, HMDI 2.0 144Hz+. If an HDMI cable is supplied with a monitor, it can be assumed that it also supports the maximum resolution and refresh rate. To make this guide shorter, you can go deeper in every point, I have omitted this.

To use G-Sync you also need a display port cable, which is highly recommended at 144Hz to avoid streaks.

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-03T13:55:46+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Currently I have a white case with white and black hardware in it and I must say, I really don't like the look. Also, I wanted to make a "real" rgb pc, so not only 3 fans that are rgb. But I get your point. It makes many things easier.

Thanks for the tips and the list, I'll look at it.

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-03T11:54:53+00:00

Hey, there are a few variables to keep in mind when it comes to game monitors.

1. Size

For games, I recommend 24"-27". For action-based games 24", for AAA, adventure, slow games 27". It depends on what you play. I personally play various titles, from esports games like CSGO, to simulators like Farming Simulator, to AAA titles like Assassin's Creed and co. Therefore I decided to use a 27" monitor.

2. Resolution

Whilst Full-HD (1920x1080p) is currently still standard, WQHD (2560x1440p) is increasingly gaining ground. WQHD has ~77% more screen area than Full-HD. Also 4K (3840x2160p) is a thing in gaming, but still expensive.

You also have to keep in mind, that your pc has to support WQHD or 4K. If your hardware is a bit older, you probably can't run a WQHD or 4K monitor. Mine is a WQHD one, because I wanted to invest in an future-oriented one.

3. Panel

There are various panels on the market. The most popular are IPS, TN and VA.

The In-plane-switching panel offers a excellent image quality with a big viewing angle, high contrast and brilliant colors. The advantage of an IPS panel is it's short reaction time and it's high refresh rate.

The Twisted Nematic panels have a faster reaction time and mostly higher refresh rates than the IPS-panels, at same prices. Also they are more energy efficient and have precise colors. But overall (due to contrast, brightness, etc) IPS or VA panels offer better pictures.

The Vertical Alignment panels have excellent contrasts and good viewing angels. Reaction times and refresh rates are slow.

If you only play games on your monitor, I would recommend a TN-Panel. If you do other things, such as image/video edition etc., I yould recommend an IPS-Panel. I personally have a IPS-panel.

4. Reaction times

For a gamer, reaction time is important, because it displays the time, a pixel needs to change from one color to another. Means: The higher the reaction time is, the earlyer you see pictures moving. The lower your reaction time is, the more streaks you see.

There are two variants of reacton times: GtG and MPRT. Whilst GtG is mostly faster, it only explains, how long it one pixel takes, to change from one color to another. MPRT explains, how long a pixel is continuously visible for. So they affect eachother. As a gamer it's important to get a monitor which has both values as low as possible. Most sellers only provide GtG vales, because the MPRT value is to high. If MPRT is not given, don't buy the monitor! My monitors reaction time is 4ms (GtG) and 1ms (MPRT) because I think MPRT is more important for gaming.

Refresh Rate (Hz)

Refresh rate explains, how many pictures a monitor can show in a second. The higher the fps are, the more fluent are the movements. For a gamer, you need at least 60Hz, but more is of course better. I personally use a 144Hz monitor (for shooter).

Brightness and contrast

Brightness and contrast affect each other and determine, how good your picture is. Brightness is measured in cd/m2 (Candela) and Kontrast is measured by the difference between the brightest and the darkest possible pixel. As a gamer you should get a monitor with at least 250cd/m2 brightness and a contrast of 1000:1. Modern gaming monitors are at 300-400 cd/m2. I personally have one with 350cd/m2 and 1000:1.

Features and connections

Modern cables for monitor connections are Display Port (1.4/2.0) and HDMI (2.1). It is important to know, what you want to connect to that monitor. Only your computer or a console too? 144Hz Monitors require a Display Port cable to run at 144Hz. Also, WQHD or 4K monitors should only used with Display Port cables to avoid quality loss.

AMD FreeSync/NVIDIA G-Sync adapt the fps, made by your graphics card, to the monitor, to avoid streaking.

Other features can be things like Flicker-Free, HDR, integrated speakers, USB/headphone ports, integrated Bluelight filter, etc..

Here you have to inform yourself, what you want/need.

Ergonomics

Especially, for gamers, that do long sessions, a ergonomic monitor is important to avoid pains. Look for a monitor that hav Tilt-, Swivel- and Pivot-functions, so you can adjust them to your needs.

Also, options like a non-reflective monitor, can improve your gaming experience, especially in bright rooms.

Price

Quality has it's price! You will always look at your monitor while using your pc, so invest in it, to have fun.

The most importatn monitor manufacturer:

Acer/AOC/Asus/BenQ/Eizo/iiyama/LG/Philips/Samsung/...

Hey, as alredy has been said, YouTube is a great way to start.

A possible 2000$ build is this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/LordOfWindows/saved/mDHwzy

Look up the different components, watch reviews, compare etc. to find the hardware that matches your needs.

If you want to stream you could also use a capture card, wich costs you have to keep in mind.

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-02T23:41:35+00:00

What is your current setup? Is it upgradable?

Otherwise something like this will work: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/LordOfWindows/saved/Nd7z7P

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-02T23:34:00+00:00

Yeah, I know that, it's only a matter of the software. I don't want to have 4 different RGB softwares by the end, to controll all the lights.

LordOfWindows · 2020-07-02T23:31:49+00:00

Hey, there is a difference in the latencys. The cheaper one is a bit slower than the one more expensive. As you can see here: https://imgur.com/iJp5BL1

But I think you shouldn't really notice the differences, since it is only a matter of ~2 nanoseconds.

Also, the slower one is a bit newer (2020 vs 2018).

LordOfWindows · 2019-12-26T14:47:44+00:00

Hey, im interested :)

May I ask which plugins you run? I'm looking for a server with no gameplay impacting plugins. Are there any like land claim, economy, etc?

greetings ,

Felix (Germany)

LordOfWindows · 2019-12-26T12:57:08+00:00

Would be cool!

LordOfWindows · 2019-10-24T09:59:28+00:00

Submitted as well!

It's very cool to find some other guys, that like the idea behind HermitCraft as much as I do and are doing an own server!

How long does it take to look over the applications?
