i feel that at very least they should add more options in the KCP configuration that explain what setting to change depending on what kind of gpu you using

cauz i need to find a guide that is explicitly for KCP so i know which settings to modify to get best setting.

watching the anime the quality is fine on highest preset, but being techie of course i'll nitpick to get the best quality settings

anyway.... do you have a guide you can refer me to that adjusts kcp highest preset to tweak it for a more best quality setting is copying some of the imouto guide compatible with kcps highest preset ?





i heard geek uninstaller (freeware) is good for removing left overs when uninstalling
http://www.geekuninstaller.com/

but i'm pretty content with total uninstaller (paid software) which i know 100% works


it's not really mpc problem. it's definitely driver issue, even nvidia admitted it, check the link i posted earlier if you hadn't yet for that bug report.


hm.... but i think smooth motion enable is better .... then have the setting only if judder without it enabled as well.



i recall imouto's guide regarding luma, that high reso and low reso should use different setting, hence why they create profiles based on the source reso being played to use the setting more appropriate accordingly. from what they explained, doing it that way you can get the best quality, rather than trying to have 1 single general setting which doesn't play well when trying to balance between low and high resolution videos.

i'm surprised they even intro that card.

960gtx seems more relevant than that if want to consider budget card. at the least it has the latest nvidia gpu tech in if, albeit with the lowest fps compared to 970 and 980.

so why on earth would someone get the 750 ? i don't get it

i still don't understand why people still swear by vlc, when kcp has obviously become the best easy option still can tweak further sure, but even the default presets are quite good already.

by the way, anyone know what they are going to announce for nvidia in a few months time at their event ?

they say it's some product they have been developing for the past 5 years. Is it pascal ?

eww.... took them 5 years on that ? lelz

huh? wut exactly are you modding

or did u mean overclocking using those firmware software e.g. msi, asus etc...

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Feb 14 2015, 03:30 AM

i predict a big performance boost come either pascal or volta in 2016-2017 so waiting on that ^-^;

how does the nvidia shield android box work exactly ?

i had heard it's able to stream games from your pc to the big screen tv in the living room (so you can play on the big tv), if you have the home networking for it.

but then where exactly is the graphics being powered from ? Is it the desktop pc gpu, or will it be the gpu on the shield box itself ?




Also titan X is based on what technology ? Maxwell or Pascal ?

12gb ram seems cool, but for budget minded 6-8gb would have worked just as well And it's gonna get more expensive when switching from GDDR5 to HBM come pascal.

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Mar 5 2015, 04:50 AM

too expensive for maxwell...

i think it's more worth waiting for pascal or even volta.

4 gb? is that gonna be enuff ??

will 6gb hbm be ready for volta if not pascal ?

but if unified memory, at most will tap into ddr3 or ddr4, is that gonna be enough for GPU scenario ? How exactly does that work

ooo that sounds like unified memory isn't as great as i thought it would be.

unless it would work better once pc's start using HBM as well ? or will that not make any difference?

any ideas how directx12 multi gpu using different brands e.g. nvidia and amd is going to play out ?

Now i think opengl, mantle or both are also saying they can do just as much.

does that mean for those of us not wanting to spend much on gsync monitor, but still want to use a nvidia card, will end up using nvidia + ati in some sort of multigpu setup.

But sounds as if, then the ATI card will have to be the primary if wanting use the freesync i suspect


Seems like things are going to get pretty complicated

As i suspected... huge gains from moving up from maxwell architecture to pascal
http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/201417-n...al-architecture





And i predict pascal to volta the year following that (1 not 2... if the roadmap hasn't changed since last i saw) is going to double the HBM performance.

*update, seems they pushed volta to 2018 hm

still reading, but this is what i felt would be pretty big deal for gpu



But HBM is not cheap, so how much will these new gpus cost


HMC which is even better than that, also costs even more than HBM. but nvidia had to cancel their plans for it for pascal because it wasn't ready yet.

okay after my strife game. just started.

so what do you predict will be in volta ?

i thought it was 1 year after pascal, now it seems 2 ? don't think i can wait that long

PS: i signed up for the compy for the nvidia card, hopefully i win so get the upgrade sooner


PS: also from what i hear come pascal, multi gpu vram from each graphics cards will be say 4+4 =8 total, rather than just 4 like before. Sounds good but for me, i using 1080p 24'' screen size, so i think i can get by on a single high end pascal gpu and still get ultra settings.

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Mar 18 2015, 09:11 AM

uh i thought talk was DDR4 was nearing it's max, so they were instead pursuing other options like

wide I/O; HBM, HMC




spotted the titan x review
http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/201346-...ngle-gpu-market


but seems like it's a maxwell architecture. i rather spend money on the new one pascal or volta, and cost far less But then again i don't use 4k reso or bigger than 24'' size screen.




12gb is sweet, but with HBM over the horizon uh... not to mention maybe 8gb would have been preferable and cheaper too.


but what the titan x does add is probably the first 4k compatible gpu for people who need it right now

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Mar 18 2015, 10:17 AM

from what i see in the benchmark it's a 4k gpu albeit lower quality settings. seems the gaming with high settings the fps comes under 30fps. me personally i feel 45-60 is what i'm willing to have for gaming More so if it's a fps type game.

i haven't really seen what the red camp is coming out with. Presumably i heard they will be the first to launch their HBM gpu first (because they made the right decision to go with HBM before Nvidia did after realizing HMC was taking too long).

by the way freesync monitors are shipping out now

According to this illustration freesync looks better than no freesync at all

no freesync


freesync enabled



http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/201568-a...inally-shipping


sounds like freesync prevents stuttering that comes from using regular old vsync, but i wonder what the FPS impact will be ? Gsync promised better vsync without any FPS performance impact. Is that the case for freesync as well ?

another question also pops in, can you use freesync with a nvidia gpu ? Will nvidia be willing to force users to get gsync monitors to benefit, or will they allow their nvidia camp use freesync as well ? freesync monitors are $50 cheaper than gsync monitors.


This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Mar 20 2015, 04:37 AM

i understand it's optional, but nvidia will gain their fanbase ire if they purposely force users to use gsync as their only option.

fans may have ignored the lack of mantle because there is directx12, but i don't think they will think easily ignore this when it comes to a lack of freesync support, not when a gsync monitor cost $50 more.



what do you think about MFAA X2 or x4 ? I heard it's equivalent in quality to MSAA x2 and X4 but with less of a FPS performance cost.

Sums up freesync i think


freesync + vsync will cap FPS to the refresh rate your monitor supports e.g. 60hz monitor will cap at 60fps.

freesync + vysnc disabled, no cap, also fps can be much higher, but there is a possibility of screen tearing.


So the way i see it, if you have a 144hz monitor, then you can have vsync on, and it would only cap at 144 fps rather than 60 if you had gotten a 60hz monitor.

But then you'd be getting a tn panel monitor rather than say a ah-ips. So unless you take your gaming seriously, not everyones going to be willing to make that trade off.



overall seems like freesync to me personally is a success. vsync without stutter or any performance hit (exception is your monitor refresh rate is the bottleneck now which is acceptable, because you can buy a 144hz or 60hz monitor according to your preferences).

this is how freesync works on a 144hz monitor with vsync on/off


Seems like leaving vsync on makes sense, because it has zero tearing, and the performance difference is negligible.


You can read the full review of freesync here
http://www.techspot.com/review/978-amd-freesync/













so guess when buying a freesync monitor, you'd be looking not only at the maximum refresh rate, but also the minimum.



so can anyone convince me that gsync is better than freesync in terms of pricing, performance and features ? cause i can't think of any




the way this is headed, seems to me that amd who first came out with mantle, will i reckon be put to rest once DX12 and possibly even the new opengl come out.

Also gsync will soon die opening the way for freesync (cause i can't imagine anyone wanting to pay $180-$280 more for something that works better than......)


So the question remains if nvidia is going to force their userbase to support gsync by not allowing freesync to work on nvidia cards, despite there being no additional cost to adding support (other than maybe making gsync redundant.....). Doesn't seem in the consumers interest if they try to sideline freesync >:{
