I bought a displayport cable to try the Freesync (Nvidia recently enabled it on Pascal/Turing cards) and it works!
Unless you're checking the real time frame rate, you can't even tell when the frame rate drops below the refresh rate of the monitor, + there is no screen tearing whatsoever.
I am genuinely impressed.
EDIT: It was not easy to buy a DP cable, as no one really used DP in ages, the shops around don't have them on stock. I had to order it. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I brought some new headlight bulbs for the pickup from halfords today and was very smug with myself. someone was getting 1 bulb fitted in the car park as I turned up so I parked next to them, went in, bought bulbs and had changed both my bulbs and pistakingly checked the oil level whilst the bonnet was up before halfrauds monkey had gotten the old bulb out of said car. I'm not sure if its retarded halfrauds monkey or one of those utter bastard of a bulbs to change but Im sure glad I've got mehanical ability and a shit old truck. ____________________ own: 81 xs1100g...

P.S. what do people use now if not DP? |
People use HDMI a lot, some still use DVI on lower resolution screens (up to 1440p). There are crap loads of HDMI cables for sale, but not many DP cables.
AMD cards and Xbox One S/X do Freesync through HDMI. Nvidia won't even show the option unless you use displayport.
Anyway, as said. It works and it's surreal. Games are just a tad bit more enjoyable, when you don't get stuttering and screen tearing every time the card drops a few frames. Especially in fast paced games. DigitalFoundry made a review and I agree with every bit that was said in it.
This thing is real!

I think higher refresh rates are over DP (I'm 144hz atm) and free/g-sync only really comes into play at lower refresh rates? I don't have an issue with tearing, I just want it cos it's available
I knew about the One X but not the S supporting freesync, mines the launch model |
I always used RGB, since the 90's. I only switched to DVI because I got a new gfx card with no analog output in 2016. Then I switched to HDMI 2.0, because I got a 4K monitor and DVI just would not run past 1600p, I could somehow get 2160p at 24hz, but that's ridiculous. From now on, I'm going to be using displayport, because of freesync.
PS2 mouse/keyboard died with new motherboard.
Back to the original topic. Screen tearing happens every single time the gfx card doesn't match the refresh rate of the monitor. Vsync can only limit the gfx card to match the refresh rate of the monitor or the half rate. Freesync works the other way around, meaning the monitor ''runs'' as fast as the gfx card lets it = you always match the refresh rate of the monitor (it's variable) = no tearing. My panel can do this between 40 and 60Hz, which is perfect for the 1070ti, that I used at the moment. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

bicycle hybrid brake blocks, there was nothing left - they were down to the metal on the back
I had these just 3 months and only 750 miles
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005PVLSIM
and they were completely shot on the back wheel, had a different brand on the front wheel and the were just part worn and lasted longer
So stopped off at local bike shop and they supplied and fitted new ones front and back for £15. |

Karate Kid part 1 got to me when I was 11 years old. Of course I thought it was awesome. I totally fancied Ally, the blonde
romantic interest from the film. I'd have given my teeth to have a bird like that at 11 years old. Proper 80's big hair totty.

Haven't watched it and won't watch it. Not a fan of reboots generally especially when they are diversified for
the sake of it but the Cobra Kai thing uses original cast members, playing the same characters 30 odd years
after the big crane kick moment in the first film. It's amusing to me that it partially came about due to cameo
appearances From Ralph Macchio and William Zabka in How I Met Your Mother. |
It could have worked. It could have ridden on Jackie Chan's talent and screen presence, but Jaden Smith just sucked all the life out of it. Plus in the original Daniel San is nearly 16 and fights a touch form of Karate, despite being full contact.
Jaden Smith was something like 12 at the time, and fights a full contact Kung Fu tournament against Chinese monks who studied for their entire lives. Karate Kid doesn't make sense as a title, and even the Kung Fu kid is not technically right because the form of kick boxing they use is actually called Sanda or Sanshou or something. Bit of a nit pick I guess, but still true.
Jackie Chan is great in it, and it's worth watching once for his performance, but basically just fast forward all the bits with Jaden Smith and his girlfriend in it.
Put any other young Black or White or even Chinese actor in there, it could have worked. But no, Jaden Smith is a talent vacuum who is more suited to doing something more menial than being a movie star. I hear he has what is laughably called a music career now. If Will Smith wasn't famous and rich, he'd be a nobody.
The Denzel Equalizer is an amazing movie, and I won't have a word said against it. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

I've not seen it, for this reason. The only film I thought he was ok in was the Speed train thing. Had it been Elba I probably would give it a go. |
