What is it plotted? Does it give avg? Trying to make sense of the 2 sources result.

That is still damn impressive from these Vulcan drivers.

It doesn't, and unfortunately one of the missing features with Vulkan early on is in game overlays.

Steam in game overlay, Fraps, etc, don't work.

So to screenshot I had to go to borderless, tab over, open gyazo, tab back, and then capture the full screen. As a result can't take in game screenshots because if I tab out, it goes to pause menu.

May try to figure something out tonight when I get back home but probably pass out.

Is it safe to set up my PC on my TV before my monitor arrives in the mail or will I run into problems on the bios?

Well how are other sites getting results? No tool out there? What you OC with?

I don't OC other than to benchmark from time to time with 3DMark or something and I use Sapphire Trixx for that.

And I assume the tools they use work, I was just talking about in game overlays for screenshots like Steam and fraps completely doesn't work.

ShareX would probably work, I hear it's pretty solid but never used it.

Is this the best reviewed 4K monitor so far? Everywhere I have read about it seem to gush over it.

That's the one I just bought a few weeks ago.

I'd say yes, it's insanely awesome across the board.

Got it for $570 off Amazon.

Coyote will make fun of me but I came really close to buying this for my work office when I was at Microcenter this week.

ETA: The picture on it is awesome and I like the amount of real estate for multitasking.

The UD88 has some nice split screen/PIP options, never used them or anything but they seem pretty good for multitasking on a standard 16:9.

I looked into ultrawides quite a bit myself but just couldn't do it (strictly from a gaming standpoint).

I picked a ultrawide because I loved it when I tired them at Fry's. Witcher 3 on one was like a new experience.

I'm actually pretty excited for the new xbone controller. I'm still using my 360 controller mostly but I love the new customization and smaller feel of the new one.

I'm one of the few who prefers a controller to a mouse on PC I think. But that's just me.

I use a controller for FIFA, Forza, DOOM, etc. But I use my DS4 cause preference. Other than that I always use kb/m especially if it's an online game.

Single player I still like a controller most of the time.

The wait for the 480rx AIB's is killing me. Either going green or maybe just buy a reference 480rx (if Newegg ever decides to stock them). Just sad I have this beautiful freesync monitor and can't even take advantage of it.

Also the build is officially going down tomorrow, any tips are appreciated. It's been a long time since my last build but things look to be a lot easier now.

Just came across Jim Sterling's vid on people literally re-selling World of Warcraft again on steam early access and I'm reminded of why I hate Valve.
