Of course it will, any game would run better on that PC Vs a PS4 pro. It'll run better than on a One X!
Yes it improves framerate, that's what it's for. It will downscale the resolution in a really smart way that is barely noticeable at all, you just set under what FPS it should trigger, such as whenever it goes under 60 or 45 or 30. Doesn't improve CPU issues, but it helps for the GPU. V-Sync doesn't prevent this. No one should disable this really.
Oh look, ideas must be flying in space: VESA Rolls Out DisplayID Version 2.0
It's under the + icon
Thanks, Yep, synch on does the game support triple buffering. Been a very long time but last I remember only AMD supported TB in DX games and Nvidia in NVCP and only for OpenGL, long time so maybe changed :)
Man, come on, so you don't even have an hdr display?????
I'm explaining to you why HDR may have issues on PC at the moment. If all you see is the bs you've said above then I'm sorry but I see no point in continuing as you obviously don't even read what I'm posting.
Thanks for the clarification but I don't need hdr lessons (and nobody cares of our discussion, so I already though it was over). But thanks.
So this is once again more of a general question, but it's also related to AC:O.
Finally got my new gpu. GTX 1080ti. At the moment I'm rocking an I5 6600 cpu. Standard clock speed. But I noticed that performance is the same (or worse with for example TW3) than my old gtx980ti. Used DDU to uninstall all drivers from nvidia (in safe mode) en installed the new ones afterwards. Did 2 tests, both maxing out all the settings on 3440x1440. Lowering settings had no noticeable effect on performance.
TW3:
Big fluctuations between 45-55 fps with much stuttering. Now I'm not a hardware specialist, so can someone tell me what they see? If I look at the statistics and try to interpret them, I notice that all my cores are 100% maxed, while my GPU is not being maxed. (the one time it maxes it out is because I opened photoshop for the screenshots I've taken) Does this mean that my CPU is actually bottlenecking my GPU? Or am I looking at it wrong?
ACO:
Same thing. CPU being maxed out, GPU fluctuating between 40-70 and a couple of spikes in there. This screenshot was taken in Alexandria where my FPS doesn't get higher than 30, even dipping in the 25 range.
So what's the deal? CPU? Or is there another culprit that could be lurking behind the bushes?

Must be your CPU. I'm running an i7 4770k and a 1070 at 1440p and my framerates in Alexandria is anywhere from 40-60, very rarely is it below 50 though. Out in the desert it's usually 70-90 (got a 90fps cap).
I don't know about your setup, but I wouldn't aim for a 45fps refresh if you like good frame pacing. Aim for 30 fps instead. I don't know about the vsync, you might not need to do anything if the setting is properly implemented. Alternatively, go for a full fat 4k without scaling, you should be able to run it at 30 fps without too much trouble..
Yes. Modern CPUs have built-in mechanisms that throttle the clockspeed if temperatures get too high. If you push an unstable overclock, you'll run into throttling more frequently and see reduced performance (or uneven performance, which is more noticeable). Instability will also bring the possibility of crashes, which you obviously want to avoid. The Asus built-in OC utility has been really good for a while now; I had rock-solid stability on my last rig using their software.
Thanks, I figured as much. Gonna have to swap the core parts for an 8-series once they come down in price. I'm leaving AA off because the IQ is just too blurry with any level of AA, unless in increase resolution scaling to 200% (in which case I might as well just do 4K30).
Awesome, good to know. Hopefully my iffy performance was due to a poorly done OC by yours truly and I hope the improvements I'm seeing aren't a placebo of some kind.
Well, you are looking at a perfect sustained 100% CPU load. 100% CPU load is bad because it will introduce heavy stuttering since background and OS tasks will actively fight with game's processes for CPU power. It's also likely why you see big swings in framerate as you may easily transition from being CPU limited to being GPU limited between different scenes and due to the performance disparity between your CPU and GPU fps can fluctuate by quite a lot.
