    Question Does capping FPS at half my 75hz monitor's refresh rate make sense?

    I was just wondering about the most correct way to go about this. I know I won't damage anything, but I was wondering if I'm screwing my frame times or something doing this.

    Question Does capping FPS at half my 75hz monitor's refresh rate make sense?

    In some single-player games in which the framerate fluctuates a lot, I prefer to play with a console-ish cap and a controller. My last monitor was 60hz, so I did 30 FPS in these instances. "New" monitor is 75hz, so I've been doing 37.5 cap on RTSS for these games rather than 30 under the...

    [SOLVED] W10 refuses to shut down / restart on time

    Sorry for the late reply, but the problem solved itself after updating to the lastest build of W10 Insider. I guess some critical files and/or registry entries got messed up after that driver failure. Gave it a few days before reporting back, but ended up completely forgetting about it, lol...

    PC randomly rebooting/freezing under load since June ONLY at my place

    Update (good news, I think): testing each RAM module with Prime95's Blend test gave seemingly conclusive results: - Stick 1 alone: reboot/freeze after 2-3 minutes. - Stick 2 alone: no problems, left running for over an hour. - Stick 1 + 2: reboot/freeze after 2-3 minutes. - Stick 2 alone...

    PC randomly rebooting/freezing under load since June ONLY at my place

    Update: tried switching from the usual XMP OC profile for my RAM sticks to default settings in the BIOS and manually setting DRAM to 2133mhz. No reboots or freezes after an hour of gaming and editing. I will test it further and come back with the results. Dunno if I'm just lucky, as this issue...

    PC randomly rebooting/freezing under load since June ONLY at my place

    Quick update: PC reboots or freezes after 1-2 minutes when running the Prime95 In-place Large FTTs and Blend tests. Small FTTs one doesn't seen to bring it down.
