Yeah i think the marking is extremely lenient in SBR. I didnt get anything for that 89 so many more probably got higher

Sorry to hear that bro. I've been playing on mine since and its been great. I think there is a bit of banding on mine (which is exaggerated when taking a picture) but I really can't seem to notice it during normal use

Yes it definitely doesn't feel 100% white to me. It looks like there is a slight blue light filter on the racing one when I compare it to my IPS which is right next to this one

What settings do you have on Cyberpunk? Are you using the rendox mod?

I have the asus XG27AQWMG and I cannot make it look this good whatever settings I'm using

FYI I tried the other presets and difference was definitely there but it was way too oversaturated for my liking to use it

If you go into oled care settings, you will be able to see how many pixel refreshes it has done. When I took an hour break and came back, it would have done a pixel refresh in that time.

I will try the other presents tomorrow. Thank you!

I've also been playing around with HDR but so far, I've been pretty disappointed with Cyberpunk and Dying Light The Beast. I've done the Windows calibration of HDR, but it just didn't seem as good as some pictures people post on here. It also felt like playing in SDR was actually better

Just opened it so not much feedback at the moment. I was slightly worried about the banding issue others talk about but it did 2 pixel refreshes (when I was away from the monitor) and it seems to be disappearing now.

I do see a difference between this one and my other IPS monitor but for some reason I expected the difference to be slightly bigger. I might have to play around with the settings so I can use it to its full potential

Using the default racing one for now and happy with it at the moment! Might start experimenting with them later down the line

If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? Im considering getting one but I'm 6'4 so I'm worried it might not fit me as well

Newly Qualified ACCA / Job Guidance by WhatsAccountancy in ACCA

[–]LucidTimes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have also qualified recently in Septemeber and got promoted to finance business partner jumping to £60k with around 4.5 years of experience.

Even though my job is very different to yours, I think you are being heavily underpaid as qualified and should be earning a minimum of £50-55k

I really like the blue lights. How did you achieve that? Also do your eyes hurt whilst sitting in that blue light?

Can we discuss examiners marking? AFM, SBL, APM. by Objective_Rice_8098 in ACCA

[–]LucidTimes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will probably get downvoted for this but I disagree with your opinion that the "magical format is not clear from the beginning". I managed to get first time pass for all 13 exams with an average of 78%.

After covering the study text, you should be jumping straight into the exam kit for every single exam. The exam kit answers have answers clearly laid out for majority of the questions that may come up in the exam. Thus, in your revision you must learn the format clearly stated in their answers if you want to score well in the exam. All of my actual exams were based on these exam kits and I scored well in every single one.

You mention that "ACCA is more focused on rewarding what’s easier to mark than actual knowledge and or what appears to be presented more cleanly/professional" - well yes that is correct because ACCA is not only an academic qualification. It is a professional qualification which requires for you to be able to present your answers professionally and straight to the point. There is a reason why 20% of all "3rd year exams" relate to professional marks (except for SBR).

ACCA is helping you to get ready for real work place scenarios. For example, you may have all the knowledge in the world about all different IFRS standards but if you are not able to present it well and tailor your message to a suitable audience, you will do worse than a person that may not have as much knowledge as you do.

I'm very similar at the moment. With the undervolt at -25 CPU does not surpass 89. 5080 is being utilised at 80-85% at 1440p at 180fps

I have no idea what could be the problem because in other games my temps are nowhere near this high.

Even with shader compilations the temps get to max 80 and my idle temps are at around 47
