Specifically for audio, there isn't really a game that makes audio a necessity down to the millisecond. The shortest amount of time is maybe... half a second, possibly slightly less. Audio is only meant to be a warning and information gathering sense in most games, not the part that should be 100% accurate and perfect. After all you don't shoot with you ears, you shoot with your eyes, your ears tell you the general area to point at.
Unless you take into account rhythm games where getting perfect scores requires ludicrously perfect timing on each and every note, anyway. Wanna get a Marvelous Full Clear on a DDR track? I hope you can hit every arrow ON THE FRAME, 16ms TIMING!
There's a reason later releases of such games have calibration modes to try and offset any input lag on the display.
With that said, people can adapt to playing those and even fighting games (which might as well be rhythm games in disguise with those pesky one-frame links on combos) on 32-40ms input lag HDTVs, though any more than that and things start feeling REALLY sluggish.
And there is that one laptop, that has a really sweet display, but it costs over 3000$, P870DM from Clevo. It can come with a UHD display, which covers 99% of AdobeRGB
. Dude, that is my next purchase!
Though I am still planning on getting that P870DM from clevo, even though it has a gtx980 desktop inside (no pascal GPUs), I feel that it would be enough for most UHD 1 monitor gaming...
Now here's one I haven't heard of... the UHD display sounds real nice, but does it have G-SYNC like the FHD one I keep seeing? Now that would be REALLY sweet.
Too bad they didn't have the balls to put a Cherry MX board in there like the MSI GT80 Titan. Now that's a laptop keyboard that would put ThinkPad owners to shame...
I had an unbranded CRT that would do 1024x768 @ 220 Hz... Those were the days!
After all these years LCD has yet to catch up.
The weight difference was not an issue so much as the margins to be made from cheaper manf tech...
And even the better LCDs for our purposes are plagued with dust, backlight bleed, lack of A-TW polarizers, etc. for our $800. Disgusting.
I'm hoping the rise of OLED will put an end to this. LCDs are an inherently flawed display technology anyway, filtering colored pixels out of a backlight rather than having emissive pixels.
Anyone knows any new interesting games?
I am looking forward to paying new PC games, but have a hard time finding any good games lately. I finished SC2, got bored with dota2, and am looking for more. I also finished and liked dying light, but hated both metro2033 and latest fallout.
It may be a year old by now, but I've been blasting my way through Wolfenstein: The New Order recently. It's proving much better than expected, like someone actually made a modern FPS that remembers its roots for once.
It also looks like Elite: Dangerous - Horizons is about to drop in a few days, but I don't know if sandboxy space sims are your thing.
Very happy now
Bought a Corsair 780T case and 110i GTX cooler, running my 5930K @ 4.4ghz Prime 95 is still 31 degrees c below TJR
Don't really feel the need to push it any further, but - I might
Wait, let me get this straight: Haswell-E at 4.4 GHz. Prime95. Not throttling even on an AIO liquid cooler.
Something tells me that's not Prime95 28.x with the latest AVX/FMA3 instructions, or maybe the fact that the IHS is soldered on the HEDT chips actually counts for something. Couldn't even use it to stress anymore once I started ramping my 4770K to 4.6 GHz just because of the sheer heat load, and that's on custom water-cooling!
