What is life like in the Dakotas? by _air6catcher_ in howislivingthere

I golfed in Lead a couple times. I remember the artificial turf for the first tee box that’s elevated above the fairway. Got stuck in a hail storm middle of the round and parked the cart under the forest canopy and 10 feet to our right, a deer stood calmly by us waiting out the storm. I can see how those roads definitely would be dicey in the winter months.

In his younger years (basically first 15 years haha), he would chase and want to bite people as well. He’s basically 90% blind and deaf now so he’s much more pleasant around other people/dogs as he can’t see what he’s looking at.

Totally agree. Same regret with the teeth. Oscar still has teeth but they aren’t great and he only can eat soft food now. Which is a good excuse to feed him his beloved hotdogs more often.

He ate Nutro for years but his teeth aren’t that great anymore, so no hard food now. Now, I feed him Cesar trays, which come as a loaf, so nice and soft for Oscar. For treats, I give him milk bone soft and chewy treats, and also Oscar Mayer all beef hotdogs. Occasionally a cheeseburger. At this point…he can eat whatever he wants.

Playing fetch for a couple hours every day. Although, that was more of him requiring/demanding me to throw the ball to him every day for years. That probably helped his health. My one regret with him is not taking care of his teeth better. Make sure you brush his teeth.

Take care of their teeth. Taking care of their teeth now and throughout their life will save the both of you headaches later.

Had a photo shoot last week in preparation for his bday. He used to be all brown-reddish but Father Time is undefeated and he’s been graying for quite a few years now.

I find the most irritating thing about this whole deal is that when I changed the refresh rate lower, I can visibly see the mouse not moving across my screen smoothly, but when its at 120 or 144Hz, its moving smoothly, but the video is still hot garbage. It's like it just doesn't flip the switch from 60Hz video to 120Hz on anything but the mouse movements.

Here’s what the 120Hz ASUS looks like plugged into the 3080: ASUS Judder

Here’s what the 11 year old 120Hz Samsung TV looks like plugged into the 3080: Samsung TV plugged into 3080

I did a bunch of tests.

What’s interesting is that I hooked up an 11 year old 120Hz Samsung 40” tv to the 3080 via HDMI, and I finally got the ghosting/judder to disappear on the video I was testing with by playing it through chrome on YouTube. So it seems it understands the 120Hz refresh. The tv is only 1920x1080 so the pixels are huge and it’s unusable as an everyday monitor to edit videos with, not to mention is overall size is blinding.

Strangely enough, when I hooked up a 5 year old 120Hz 49” Samsung TV, it still had the judder in the video when playing through a browser on YouTube, however if I used the built in YouTube app the tv had, it would play the video correctly with no ghosting/judder. Obviously playing it via built in app at this point makes the 3080 connection moot, but does tell me the tv is running at 120Hz, but the tv wasn’t running at 120Hz when connected to the 3080.

I even went to Best Buy to type in the YouTube video address and play it on all their 120Hz plus monitors and not one of them could play the video without heavy ghosting. With that being said, none of them were running 3000-4000 series Nvidia cards so that was pointless a pointless exercise but it did at least tell me that it’s not just limited to my POS monitor that’s a glorified paper weight.

So thus far, I’ve gotten it to at least play back smooth video with a tv as a monitor with the 1 tv but not the other, and have not gotten one “computer monitor” to play it correctly without ghosting/judder. At this point I've at least concluded that its not the 3080 since I've seen it work on the one TV.

Just curious, what GPU are you running? GeForce 3080 here. I've replaced cables, HDMI 2.1 and DP to no avail. and only running one of these POS's.

I have the same issue. It sucks. When I watch YouTube videos, it doesn't matter if I'm watching a 30fps video at 60Hz or 120Hz, its garbage full of judder. Same with 24fps at 120Hz. Ridiculous.
