I have a question about detent-finger lift. I bought a system and monitor this month and i'm short of cash. I can barely afford this combo. https://wwsimstore.com/view/goods-details.html?id=324 It seems like a good deal and I want to gab it while it's on sale and before they run out. I'm curious about the detent. I see it has the detent but being a throttle 2 it's setup to add the finger lift later. Does the thottle2 with finger lift also have the detents? I'll add the finger lift later and was wondering if the detent can be disabled or do they work together? Thanks

You can put too much pressure on yourself and you tense up. That just makes it harder. Tell yourself it's not that important and you don't care if you get it or not. Relax and fly smooth. It will get easier the more you practice but there's no rush. Relax.

I've spent enough money this month but this is hard for me to pass up. I need a controller. Mine went belly up. https://wwsimstore.com/view/goods-details.html?id=324

I finally got the email from Maingear. System has shipped. Now, I can relax. Breath in..Breath out.

Thanks, bud.

I looked in Nvidia and it had changed to 1440 and thought it had in game too but wrong assumption. I did notice Nvidia had the refresh rate at 60 and I changed it to 144. Good or bad decision?

LOL...I'm such a dummy. That was it exactly. I was running in 1080. I changed it to 1440 and i'm down to 63fps. So, a 20fps loss. Well, the world makes sense again.

Well, that wasn't it. I got 84fps with g-sync on or off. Why am I getting more fps with a 1440 monitor over a 1080?

I'll go test g-sync on and off and see what it does to fps. Be right back.

No, I didn't change anything. I opened the game with 1080 and never moved the scene. Left the game and unplugged 1080 and plugged in 1440 and went back in game. It's the only game installed, so I can't try it on another game. I have 3 display ports on the card in my old system. I assumed they were for triple monitors. Does it matter what port I plug in to?

I just looked in Nvidia and full G-Sync s enabled. I read it raises fps. So, it raised 1440 fps to 1080 fps. It's like a free gift.

I ended up using display port. I'm shocked how much better this monitor looks compared to my old 1080. Colors and detail are so much better. Everything is bright now too. I don't know what i've been missing can imagine what 4K looks like. The good part is I went into a hunting game and was getting 77fps with 1080. With 1440 i'm getting 80fps. How is that possible?

I just got the monitor. I have two cords. One for display port and one for HDMI. Which one do I use?

True and sort of why I spent more than I planed on. At my age this may be my last system.

Thinking about the price of a 4080 gave me a headache.

Not sure it will be forgotten. I have two years of payments paying it off.

Yes, it does. I'm glad I bought more system than I planned on originally. My controllers will feel better. Thanks all.

Trackir has always run smooth for me no matter what the fps. The only time I got stutters was when my drivers were old. An update fixed it.

I'm curious what my old system will get with the new 1440 monitor. It comes tomorrow and the system hasn't been shipped yet. So, I have time to play around. I could maintain 75 fps but that's on 1080 and shadows off. Most everything else kind of high. I tried vsync on and didn't see any difference. I normally don't use vsync or restrict fps. I just let the system run where it wants to. However, this system i'm getting is more than i'm used to. I also do racing sims and a higher fps seemed to make the wheel and pedals more responsive. I wonder if that is the same for joysticks?

So, nothing is gained by setting the fps higher than 60 fps? Aren't I wasting the power the system has to do more?

I've always read it's best to run a game at the native resolution of the monitor. The one I bought is 165Hz (supports 144Hz). Can I run DCS or other games at that?

Did you buy the monitor yet? This is what I bought. https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-tuf-gaming-vg27aq-90lm0500-b013b0-27/p/N82E16824236987?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-Hatch&AFFID=2879876&AFFNAME=Hatch&ACRID=1&ASUBID=s16573076881624q6ha52417&ASID=&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2879876&ranSiteID=9SHw.8narkE-vEWCCznqTtzhDpMb3Hi4Dw

Stan.........I just bought this and it's a much better deal than what you showed. The company is much better too. I researched everybody before buying and this is the best company and deal on a system. It also has free shipping and no tax, so the price is all you pay. https://maingear.com/product/vybe-rtx-3080/

Nobody was using 4K before the 3080ti? I have no desire to use 4K, i'm just curious. I didn't think my system was that far away from a top system? Other than needing more ram but that's an easy fix. Is a 3080 that far from a 3090? I would have got one but I thought it was overkill.

What is a 4k card? Just the 3090?
