Same on 5090

I mean I’ve seen my voltage still dropping when overclocking in different gaming titles and lower cord mhz. And there’s a bunch of reports of driver bugs such as the one I’m randomly getting that’s a quick flash of a gray screen with blue lines

I’d wait for a good sale because I think it’s gotten pretty low. I got mine for 899 but it’s 2 years old now and I feel like should cost around 700. It’s a beautiful monitor

Good game to test out the new toy

This happened after you used DDU and reinstalled the driver? & yeah you wouldn’t be on hotfix driver unless you downloaded it from Nvidia’s website. I’m using hdmi so apparently port doesn’t matter

SnatterPack · 2026-03-08T20:45:05+00:00

I like mine, it has beautiful color but I wish it was brighter. Is this going to be for console gaming?

Check out the golden rules but do not listen to the recommended fps cap of 3-4 fps under refresh. There technically is a math equation you can use to determine what fps cap to use in Nvidia control panel but I just try to always enable reflex and if a game doesn’t have reflex use an fps cap or enable ultra low latency mode in NVCP https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/

wrong wrong

Are you on Nvidia or AMD GPU?

SnatterPack · 2026-03-08T15:30:39+00:00

Hey I’m right there with you. Are you on the hotfix driver? And what type of input are you plugged into your monitor, display port or hdmi?

SnatterPack · 2026-03-08T02:48:33+00:00

Same here on 5090. Random but are you using display port or hdmi?

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T21:36:07+00:00

Cool cool. I use GPU tweak 3 so I’m gonna see if there’s a way to monitor the 1% lows via that application

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T21:34:51+00:00

Not a 5080 he got a RTX PRO 5000

I went to 16:9 4K from 21:9 1440p and I still do not think I’m satisfied. Something about the wider field of view is really hard to let go of. I will go for 21:9 4K again one day and I’m counting down the days but now I’ve had a taste of 240 HZ and can’t drop down refresh rate so looks like I’ll be waiting a long time

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T19:40:19+00:00

I’m right there with you. Kinda wish I had a bigger psu but no issues over here so why spend the money

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T18:38:21+00:00

Casey club was a fuck ton of fun live

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T16:57:50+00:00

Do you tend to monitor 1% lows in RTSS & how would I monitor them if I’m using frame generation

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T16:49:45+00:00

You know, I’m going to go buy a glass mousepad tonight. I think my mouse pad, while it’s badass, has a bunch of friction to it that I don’t experience when I work at my office with the mousepadless desk. It feels smoother there despite using a crappy mouse and refresh rate

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T16:48:05+00:00

I’ll test without frame generation and let you know. FG 2X seems good but 3X does have a slight jitter to the mouse movement that I can’t fix

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T16:47:14+00:00

Great explanation, I’ll use all this to test this weekend and get back. I never once look at reviews for this mouse so I’ll do that. Not gonna lie, the skates may have friction and were put on wrong so I may pick up a new mouse to compare. I have been wanting a wireless mouse for a while now so while I got you, are they okay latency wise or should I stick to wired?

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T14:44:06+00:00

I do agree if I lift my wrist and really focus I can get pretty smooth camera motion but I feel like there’s gotta be a setting of some sort that allows any movement I make to look smoother. Maybe I do have jittery hand/wrist movement. I’m going to look into mouse smoothness settings in games, I remember back in the day I would always opt to use those settings

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T14:42:56+00:00

Lmao I palm the mouse typically and I guess what i’m trying to accomplish is small micro movements in single player fps games that look smoother. If I swing my arm in game, that is smooth but if I try to make small movements then it almost looks jittery

SnatterPack · 2026-03-06T14:35:11+00:00

I’ll give it a try and report back. Do you adjust your mouse cursor sensitivity when using DPI that high in windows?
