I see, thank you. So DSC is apparently almost lossless compression visually, can anyone vouch for that? I've read some opinions, and they range from people claiming they can see it, to others that say that it's virtually imperceptible. What are y'all opinions on this

I assume you refer to the text artifacts? so you're saying that they should be gone when I get a graphics card that supports DP 1.4?

If anyone ever stumbles upon this thread, here's the rest of the story. I returned the monitor and picked up the same model from different retailer not long after. Backlight bleeding and ips glow, were the same or even worse, to top it all off, it had one stuck pixel in the middle. If that...

Hello, I have just bought the Acer Predator XB273U GXbmiipruzx and I'm pretty happy with it overall. However, I cannot enable 1440p/ 240hz/10bit all together, when I turn the refresh rate down to 120hz, sure enough, the 10bit option in the nvidia panel shows on again. I have read somewhere on...

I took some better pictures with manual ISO settings to roughly match what I actually see when looking at the screen, the blb still seems a tiny bit worse on the pictures though. View: https://imgur.com/a/dpjRWz4

I bought it from a local shop in poland and I can't really find any information as to what they do with returned items, but it's probably not much different from Amazon. It's not really a big hassle for me to return it, since I picked it up from a local point close to my house, but I can't...

Hey guys, So, I'm aware that most IPS panels, especially from under 500$ will suffer from some backlight bleeding and/or ips glow. The thing is that I just bought my second ips display and I can't really tell if the amount of bleeding I see Is considered acceptable, the previous one is around 6...

I actually managed to get a little bit of clerance by partially unscrewing the mounting bars, pulling them back, and screwing them in. It barely made a difference, but the ram stick is now clearly not bent and the heatpipe just barely grazes the stick. Idle temperature of the CPU is 28°C so it's...

So I tried bending the bottom fins and they bent no problem, however, at the spots where they connect with the tubes they won't budge, rendering the entire operation pointless. But I noticed something worse, I'm pretty sure that it's not even the fins that are the problem, but the heat pipes...

I took my time with instructions and mounting process and verified it just now. it seems I've done everything correctly, just a very unfortunate combo of mobo, cooler and ram I guess, like you said, seems like even 1 mm would fix it up. I've tried wriggling it but it's very solid and snug in...

Thank you, I think I'll sleep on it. But for now, time to play me some videa gamezzz

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of dreading taking anything apart at the moment, after several hours of putting it together. Removing the stick would mean removing the heatsink first and reapplying fresh thermal paste afterwards if I'm not mistaken? Also, wouldn't having the stick without the heatsink...

All of your replies are much appreciated. I think I'm gonna stick with it for the time being, unless I find a good deal for a cpu cooler replacement.

Hey, I'll go straight to the point. I've been assembling my very first PC from scratch and everything went great, but after mounting Dark rock pro I've noticed that it pushes against my first RAM stick. At first I assumed it's not an issue since the angle is very slight, but on a second thought...
