Upcoming Hardware Upgrade What is currently the most important Factor for Extraction?

I know RAM is pretty cheap, but why insist on getting 16gb? For a normal user isn’t 8gb more than enough?

[Ashog]

well, you will see no change on the desktop

launch teh game already!

8GB is enough for gaming.

I really hope the next update bring some serious performance boosts.

I guess my eyes are broken, when I recently changed my monitor to 120Hz from 60Hz, for some reason it was set to that by default for months, I noticed no change.

Did you change it in the graphic card drivers?

When I changed it in windows to 144 hz it stayed at 60hz, but when I changed it in the graphic card driver it went to 144 hz.

Lightboost is amazing as well.

Changed it with nvidia control panel thing, I only thought to check when it was discussed on IRC a while back and noticed it could do 120Hz Dunno if it would affect it but I have two screens, the other is my old one set at 60Hz.

Pretty sure that’s the issue. 60 vs 120/144 is like night and day.

So even though my main screen is now set to 120Hz it’s being limited by the other which is set at 60Hz?

Seeing as the video card is feeding both it would set to the lowest common denominator. Maybe someone else can chime in with more, concrete info.

[Ruben0s]

Well chris can be unlucky as well. They did a test with 60 vs 120 hz. 90% could point out the screen with higher hz. Maybe chris is one of the unlucky 10%.

I am not at home right now so I can’t test. But when I duplicate the screen it takes the monitor with the lowest hz rate.

I did some searching around and people are saying it shouldn’t matter, modern gpus can deal with 2 different rates. When I can be bothered I’ll try just using a single screen and test 60 vs 120 to check.
