Chic Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 hey, i'm curious.. are you able to ALT-TAB out?? i am not able to do it - sometimes it would be so nice to be able to get out and switch channels in TS etc.. but i have to be in full-screen (or NOT in full-screen - i forget) and i can't do it without screwing up DCS......... Hey SDsc0rch. Able to alt-tab out no prob. I only use full-screen. Try alt-ESC. Sometimes that works.

rcjonessnp175 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Yup spend the money wisely make sure you research your tv for response time numbers. 4k is worthless when you have ridiculous ghosting and very high response time numbers. google best gaming tv's and response time I7 4770k @ 4.6, sli 980 evga oc edition, ssdx2, Sony 55 inch edid hack nvidia 3dvision.

EntropySG Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) I also ditched my triple screen setup and went for a 4k tv, I got this one 49'' Sony KD49X8305 The picture looks stunning, at 4K spotting targets on the ground is so much easier, however Im having a problem with it. While everything works at 4k resolution @60Hz using HDMI 2.0, as soon as I go SLI and fullscreen I get mad flickering. Only way so far to fix it is to force refresh rate to 59Hz in windows, then SLI works. However, I cant get DCS to work while using my Helios USB panel at the same time. Sim loads, I hear the sounds etc, but the screen goes black and only way to recover is a hard shutdown of the PC. Also, for other games, the screen is simply too big for me, and the input lag, while minor, is noticeable which excludes any semi-competitive games like Dota2, which I enjoy a lot. Posting this here to ask whether others might have an idea of why I cant use SLI @60Hz even though both the TV and the gfx cards (gtx 970) are HDMI 2.0 capable (using a high quality cable). Also since I have to use 59Hz on the TV but my USB screen has a fixed 60Hz refresh rate, might this be the reason why I cant run DCS with the USB screen enabled? (without it, it works fine, also in SLI) Edited July 17, 2015 by EntropySG [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
HiJack Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 40 inch Phillips 4k PC Screen is the best choice at the moment I believe. Crystal clear and fairly good refresh rate, not to big either :) But you need a good GPU to serve the resolution!

PHILIPS BDM4065UC Im seriously considering returning the TV and get this display instead, as it is a 'true' PC monitor with displayport connectivity which should solve all problems (plus, its cheaper than the TV!)

HiJack Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Yes, that's the one I got along with this GPU: Sapphire Radeon TRI-X R9 390X 8GB "OC" Please be aware that this Graphic card is some 10% larger in length than other AMD cards. It is a tight fit inside the computer.
EntropySG Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I have 2 gtx 970s they work fine. I'm gonna do some more testing when I get home but will probably go for the same screen you have:) thanks! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

(without it, it works fine, also in SLI) I would guess the mismatched refresh rates is indeed the problem, because in my experience, several recent Nvidia drivers have set refresh to 59 by default and it's THAT that causes problems. I had some SLI flicker that was solved by changing refresh to 60. Edited July 17, 2015 by GregP
EntropySG Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I think so too now! I reverted back to 60Hz @3840x2160 In case this is interesting for anyone, I have now tested my setup with the new 4k screen methodically (still using the Sony TV for now). GTX970 all settings pretty much maxed SLI off: windowed 38 fps, fullscreen 38 fps (add the USB screen with Helios 35 FPS) SLI on: 52 FPS windowed, 46 FPS with Helios and the USB screen with SLI, I simply cannot use full screen, I know I would get some more 10 FPS but that would only work @59 Hz or not use my USB monitor with helios. Im happy it works now, and after some time getting used to the big TV, I must say its really better than I thought initially. View is crazy, I think I would now finally be able to stop manpads from a distance.. :O [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
