I *also* joined the 144hz mastur(bation) race

Sequel thread. My 180hz monitor came in the mail today. 3x 60fps and hooly shit. I never want to go back. Its so beautiful playing games like this.

who needs 4k with motion fluidity like this?
I ran Ocarina of time interpolated with this framerate and it's smooth like butter.

Not an OLED unfortunately, maybe another time when i've got more cash.

That's all. low effort thread.

This is my first time seeing the username change and I love it.

High fps is a beautiful thing, and I've only gone to 144. Smoothness matters more to me than 4k, and definitely more than RT. I'd even pick smooth visuals over RT in a turn based RPG. Don't forget to throw on Lossless Scaling framegen for older games for free fps.

I can't wait to see what the next "64 gets a component" thread will be. Maybe a keyboard.

I have been eyeing the new fangled 240hz 4K OLEDs, but need to upgrade my GPU first.

A big part of it are new improvements for emulation meant to mimic CRTs that do really well with OLED and 240hz, lol.

Anyways, 180hz would be super smooth for games, nice going OP!

Anyone else have a high refresh display but always lock fps waaay below its max refresh anyway?
Yep. 60fps (or even 40fps in some cases) is the sweet spot for me between graphics and performance. I don't want to spend well over thousand EUR on a System to play BOTH with very high fidelity AND +120fps. I still want *some* performance and *very good* visuals, though. So 60fps it is, in older titles more, with path tracing titles 40fps. Depending on the game.

My display supports 165Hz but that wasn't the selling point. I wanted an 21:9 OLED monitor (because IPS, TN and VA had all their own respective drawbacks I couldn't look pass after getting used to my OLED TV), with VRR so I could forget about V-Sync and its input latency or the tearing without V-Sync. So I took the 165hz en passant.

Depends on the game. I can't run Silent Hill 2 Remake at 240fps. Obviously i need to lock the frame rate to something. Although with VRR you don't need a stable/fixed frame rate, i still don't want to run the card at 100% usage all the time (due to noise and temps).

But something like Quake 1/2 remaster, sure, those run at 240fps easily.

You would need a new GPU to get those emulation improvements to mimic CRTs? I thought the whole point to it was that those calculations are easy to do and let you take advantage of higher refresh rates with reasonable hardware.

I thought it was pretty heavy on the GPU?

Either way I want a faster card for better frames. 3080ti doesn’t cut it at 4K.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I always made fun of folks saying they can't see the difference between 30 & 60 fps back in the day but I felt no revelation when I got my 144Hz monitor. Even after years of using it with VRR for games that I could run at high framerates before my now aging PC started showing said age and as I've recently reverted back to normal vsynced non VRR play I have felt no real downgrade playing 60fps or any fps games even though of course going down to 30fps as I must for heavy games or emulated oldies I definitely do feel and see a huge difference, even if I settle to 45fps as middle ground...

Once you go 120hz and over that it its over lol. Everything will look like a slideshow on PC because you're sitting up close. I went from a 60hz monitor to a 240hz VA and it was a game changer. Then went OLED, same thing again especially when it comes to dark games and videos + HDR.

Actually I'm not sure now. I looked up the BlurBusters page on this tech and they mention a 3080 but they also mention that it would be good enough to do the CRT simulation for a 1000hz display. I now have no idea what you'd need for a 240fps display. (But I thought I saw something from him basically saying if you could just drive the display at a real 240fps you might as well do that and this was tech when for one reason or another you have a high refresh display but can't get content at that speed.)

So anybody know, is there a 4k 1000hz display yet?:messenger_beaming:

I think the idea is that you can approximate a CRT with this technique and a good OLED with 240hz refresh. The more the better of course!
