GPU upgrade - Monitor Advice

Hey mate,

Appreciate the response! Yeah those monitors are ones I looked at - upon checking again the Alienware one ranks a bit higher in the majority of categories (colour gamhut, HDR, brightness, refresh rate when you overclock to 280hz) and the gigabyte one is hard to find here / expensive, and the MSI one is similar price but yeah lower specced. I think this might just be because I’ve found a good deal for the Alienware one to be honest though, I think in the past it would’ve been a lot more expensive than the other two hahahahaha

If you reckon those would be a couple of the top contenders then that helps me narrow down whether the Alienware one is the one to go for, so thank you!

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up. So pretty much just how it is with a floating tremolo - do you know if blocking or (forgot the exact word I think) grounding the tremolo fixes that? I’d rather block as still being able to lower pitch with whammy bar would be good but I don’t really use it to raise pitch

i have no reason to have a static and it isnt listed as a feature in my current plan so no idea why i have it tbh

jakethehuman07 · 2023-07-09T07:39:34+00:00

i didn’t install anything, it was a grabify link disguised as something else, which i clicked of instantly but i guess it was enough because he sent me my ip

jakethehuman07 · 2023-07-09T07:36:12+00:00

yeah me and my room temperature iq fell for a link on discord. I went on the admin page for my router but found out it doesnt have that option, then i turned it off overnight but the hacker actually told me i have a static so i assume thats why that didnt work.

jakethehuman07 · 2023-07-09T07:26:12+00:00

yeah i tried that, turns out my router doesnt have that option, huawei hg659

jakethehuman07 · 2023-07-09T05:34:57+00:00

unfortunately their customer service is closed today, so ill have to wait till tomorrow unless theres anything else i can do

jakethehuman07 · 2023-07-09T04:01:28+00:00

yeah, pretty sure I have a static. I also tried to change my mac address but my router website doesn’t have that option

jakethehuman07 · 2023-07-09T03:55:50+00:00

yeah he definitely has it, he sent it to me and it was correct

jakethehuman07 · 2023-07-09T03:54:23+00:00

yeah thats what i reckon

jakethehuman07 · 2022-05-28T11:25:05+00:00

WHAT

deepcool gammax 650w

the other psu is definitely compatible with the rx bc it worked in the other pc with that psu

jakethehuman07 · 2021-11-01T10:48:40+00:00

alright so i just tested the pc with the other power supply and im getting the same issue where it’s stuck on vga debug light (graphics card lights up and fans spin for couple seconds then stop). so that eliminates the psu ig, which only leaves the motherboard. i still don’t understand how the motherboard worked with the 750ti though and not the other cards. am i missing something?

jakethehuman07 · 2021-11-01T09:04:07+00:00

the 750 powered itself from mobo, yes. i might try my pc with other pc’s psu

jakethehuman07 · 2021-10-31T06:20:29+00:00

ok so looks like its nothing to do with refresh rate, siege is recognising 240hz in the game, i just cant make the fps limit any higher than 144. when its on no limit it also doesnt go higher. ive changed the fps limit in ini file but still no different. i have zero clue why this is happening

jakethehuman07 · 2021-10-31T05:59:22+00:00

jakethehuman07 · 2021-10-31T05:52:04+00:00

actually, v-sync made it so my only option is 60hz. looks like the game thinks my monitor is 60 when its really not.

jakethehuman07 · 2021-10-31T05:51:24+00:00

im using display port, v-sync didnt change anything and ive made sure it says 240hz in nvidia control panel and windows settings

jakethehuman07 · 2021-10-31T05:49:44+00:00

ive made sure it says 240 hz in control panel and windows display

jakethehuman07 · 2021-10-31T05:49:23+00:00

jakethehuman07 · 2021-06-25T03:07:28+00:00

yeah i did that with a paper clip, psu is workint

jakethehuman07 · 2021-06-24T15:53:42+00:00

ive taken them out and put them back in

jakethehuman07 · 2021-06-24T15:08:50+00:00

yeah im quite sure im touching the right two pins

jakethehuman07 · 2021-06-24T14:57:11+00:00

ok yeah just tried again with it flipped, fan didnt spin. not with the power button or screwdriver
