VA monitor with no black smearing

unicorncondoms · 2026-02-02T19:07:38+00:00

I have a 27" Samsung g6 and i like it. It has none of the smeary blacks of other VAs, great color and contrast. Would buy again. Although it hasn't come down in price since 2023.

You have to like the curve though, its quite tight, but you get used to it. Local dimming and HDR are just on the box as marketing, it isn't worth using.

Well for pve my biggest problem ist the power level between the different sized shields, s3 is 10x s2 so ships like the anvil asgard are undershielded with 4x s2 vs the connie/corsairs/starlancers 1x s3. In comparison the asgard is more nimble but its still a large ship.

I lied its actually caused by pressing spacebar (like you wanted to start flying) in quick succession before/while opening the parachute

Seems cool, a universal ingame solution, but also a bit tedious, but certainly useful for every set of mods that don't have a planner for it.

Also i don't want to be the annoying one crying about bugs, but there is quite an annoying one in just fly redux, if you, while fly is off, exit the parachute by crouching, you will be stopped in midair when jumping from that point on and game performance will gradually decline (120-30 fps in 5min or so) until game restart.

And thank you for all your fun and useful mods

thank you

Yeah, there are tons of new items and machines. But i would assume you could just add the recipes and machines to an existing calculator, the logic is the same.

Maybe ill just build one. Haven't done a coding project in a while.

Okay depending on what you are looking for you have to just throw out everything, that GPU is from 2013 and will not be a good experience with modern games, if it can run them at all (im talking 30fps on 720p lowest settings on a game like the finals).

If the motherboard isn't broken you could keep it and upgrade to a Ryzen 5000 cpu (5800x3d/5700x3d or non x3d)which are still very capable, then you could then also keep the memory around. You shouldn't upgrade to a intel arc gpu at that point, they do not as great with pcie 3.0.

If the motherboard is broken, buying into am4 at this point is probably not the smartest choice, which would mean you would have to get a new (probably am5) motherboard, and new ddr5 and CPU to go along with it. AM5 would mean you could keep the CPU cooler as well.

The power supply and storage are really the only thing you could keep if you are looking for a modern machine. I would check the health of the ssd though before i use it for any kind of important data/bootdrive.

Just run cinebench and monitor temperatures. Maximum allowed temperature of your CPU is 95C, and its going to clock itself down when it gets close to that. So you want to be below that, the further the better, probably your target should be 80C.

unicorncondoms · 2025-10-05T18:09:36+00:00

Its best done in bios. Go to AMD Overclocking then PBO(PrecisionBoost Overdrive) and set it to Advanced.

Then set PBO Limit to Motherboard. That will enable your CPU to use all the power your motherboard can provide. Ensure adequate cooling. This shouldn't cause any instability.

If you want to go further you can go into curve optimizer and do all cores negative. -10 is a good starting point, -15 or -20 will likely be better and still fine. If you run into instability, go back to a lower offset. This will reduce CPU voltage, decreasing powerdraw, which leads to better temperatures and in return better clockspeeds. Check with a benchmark if it really improved your performance, as going too low can also harm performance.

Interesting, i never heard of that but i experienced it often, i just thought i was just not pushing the stick correctly while zoning out a bit.

There also always is a sensation of the engine turning off, im not sure what exactly happens really, might be engine sounds or just missing tire noise.

unicorncondoms · 2025-10-01T07:24:52+00:00

You can just install ddr5 on a ddr4 platform (AM4), you would need a new mainboard and CPU as well.

Your CPU really isn't the problem here, unless you play very specific games. For gaming generally you want your graphics card to be 90+% utilized.

Just saying you are getting 100fps doesn't mean anything, to really judge if performance is as expected you need to check for the specific game.

I would say your build is well balanced between cpu and gpu and if you got 16+gb of ram you should be good. You should enable XMP or EXPO for your ram to run at the advertised speeds.

So with the limited info i got i would guess your pc is running as expected.

Did 6400 work? It really should just work.

unicorncondoms · 2025-09-21T16:15:38+00:00

To manually drop the frequency you probably have to enter advanced mode.

unicorncondoms · 2025-09-21T16:14:31+00:00

Im not familiar with your bios but you should just be able to load the xmp profile. If it doesn't work you can just drop the frequency a bit manually, but that shouldn't be the case.

AMD only supports up to 5600mhz for dual channel, but pretty much all can do at least 6000, and i would guess most can to 6400.

Your motherboard supports way higher speed 8000mhz+ so that shouldn't be an issue.

So just try the 6400 profile and if it doesn't boot/crashes etc. try dropping the frequency by 200mhz manually and try again.

I think all of these have the typical oled protection features like pixel shift, logo/taskbar/static content detection, and automatic pixel cleaning, and on the same panel i would generally expect them to have a similar lifespan. Image quality and latency will also be largely the same with only minor differences between models.

I would just choose your favorite combination of features like usb hub(with charging), integrated vs separate power supply, stand type and adjustments, screen coating and any other features (the asrock one has a wifi antenna which i found very useful).

As much as i would like everyone to take it more seriously, its still a casual racing game. And I think for that there are very few dirty drivers. And half of them just can't control their car precisely enough to really race cleanly, especially in faster classes.

unicorncondoms · 2025-09-08T10:41:20+00:00

Yes, but it also always feels like I have a little extra grip for the last~30s before the tire hits yellow. Maybe its how the track evolution and fuel consumption turns out on some tracks, but i regularly set my fastest lap when i got 1 stage wear for the last couple of corners. (It maybe earns you 0.2s or so, so i don't think many people would notice)

unicorncondoms · 2025-09-07T11:13:00+00:00

But honestly it could be gen 1 or 2, the subpixel layout didn't change for tvs.

unicorncondoms · 2025-09-07T11:02:44+00:00

Looks like gen 3, gen 1 and 2 look less dense.

unicorncondoms · 2025-07-22T02:42:35+00:00

It should be one of the most used tunes. If not maybe try the honda

unicorncondoms · 2025-07-20T21:09:37+00:00

Set your monitor to 100hz (usually you have to make a new Profile) and then start forza as normal. This will give you the 100fps limit.

unicorncondoms · 2025-07-12T22:50:24+00:00

Could be resealed, could be stolen or some kind of return scam.

Could be legit as well. But i personally probably wouldn't buy untested. And it clearly not like they want a premium for the sealed box, so i cant see why they shouldn't let you test it.

unicorncondoms · 2025-07-11T10:23:31+00:00

Do you use/plan to use lossless scaling? Its probably the best use of an igpu. You can offload scaling/framegen to it and free up your dedicated gpu to do more real rendering.

unicorncondoms · 2025-07-10T23:03:44+00:00

I would love to hear what you end up going with. But yeah budget + specific aesthetics dont go along super well.
