What length exactly are we talking about here? The length does impact Display Port and HDMI a bit at higher resolutions and refresh rates, but just make sure the cable lists whatever you need, you can buy 5m DisplayPort cables which will support 4K 144Hz and more. For HDMI they make optical cables for longer cables, I have a 10m HDMI cable which supports 4K 144Hz, but I couldn’t get even 4K 30 over 10m of cheap HDMI cable (that one only supported 1080p 60).
Even moving the mouse and windows around and scrolling is more enjoyable on 120Hz. Yes, it makes single player games a better experience as well.
But you’re right, you get used to lower refresh rate as well.
It’s eye candy, it’s more enjoyable to play. Will it make you a better player? Debatable, probably not really, but it’s still fun and looks amazing.
The only way to keep the current motherboard is 7700K, but that’s reall not worth the upgrade over 6700. You will need a new motherboard. You can get intel 12 and 13th gen or Ryzen 5000 and still use DDR4 RAM, but only if your RAM is at least 3200MHz CL16. If your RAM is slower, then you would’ve be getting the full potential of the new CPU. And in case you need to buy new RAM, you might as well get DDR5 since it doesn’t really cost much more than DDR4, and you can get Ryzen 7000 series CPU.
If you’re getting intel 13th gen, make sure you pick the correct motherboard with the right RAM support, while CPUs support both kinds of RAM, the motherboard will only support the one kind it’s designed for.
Juat go for it. I’m running a 2080 with a 4K 1440Hz monitor and it runs ok, and when it doesn’t, I can reduce the details or enable DLSS or something. 3060Ti should be perfectly fine for 3440x1440.
But then again it really depends on the games you play, if you’re currently struggling to keep 60fps at 1080p, then it’s gonna run worse on bigger resolution of course. And there are benefits of the larger display and higher resolution outside of games as well.
Don’t get a 1080p 29", it’s gonna be overall smaller than two 24" monitors, an ultra wide 29" is the same height as 24", just wider, but not twice as wide.
Keep it in the PC as a secondary drive, you can move some gsmes to it which don’t really benefit from the SSD, or just move them so you don’t have to download them again.
It’s also great for media storage, playing movies from SSD won’t be any faster, and if you keep your PC powered on, you can setup a plex server or a network share, and access the movies from the TV for example. You can also make backups of your data from the SSD to the HDD, it’s not as good as a backup in a separate computer, but it can still protect your data in case your boot drive goes corrupt (because of Windows updates), or simply if you delete a file by accident.
Kinda overkill if you’ll be reusing it yourself anyway. I’d understand if you gave it away or sold it.
I was considering 6700XT for 1440p 144Hz, so for 1080p it will be plenty of power.
To be fair I have never found any useful information on Twitter from Google search results.
I only really use Instagram to follow the local gravel cycling scene, if that’s not on pixelfed, then it’s not useful to me. But thanks, I didn’t know it existed and I’ll check it out.
Y’all have friends?
Instagram is also turning to shit, it’s just reposted content from tiktok, they’re really pushing the reels over images. I joined Instagram because I liked the photos, if I wanted to look at tiktok content, I’d use tiktok.
I have only good experience with Logitech mice, except one time with Performance MX, but I got it replaced for a new one without issues.
I’ve had a G502 and G403 wireless for years now and they’ve been solid.
What’s your experience?
