Buy from mechanical keyboards, they are great and the new Ducky has a aluminum base.

Believe I used them for 3 or 4 keyboards before everything was on Amazon.

I'll just stick with Amazon, can't beat the Prime shipping.

Edt: Believe I will go with the Ducky. I'm a Ducky fan, also like the look of that TKL board. Well, not everything, idk how I feel about the "white" base.

Have you considered building your own keyboard, like what they do on /r/mechanicalkeyboards?

I think you must own an Ultra-Wide Monitor and Ikea furniture to build your own keyboard.

None of these I own or approve.

I just don't get the "single" ultra-wide monitor craze for gaming.

Fullscreen none-windowed has advantages in performance over windowed (bordered or borderless). Then you have distortion at those resolutions because most games and even engines don't officially support the resolutions. When in-game, wth you do for a 2nd monitor? Separate displays also have their benefits with arrangement and orientation for use, both physically and virtually within W10.

Yes and no. Exclusive fullscreen died in the early days of W10 and "full screen optimization" they replaced it with is completely broken in 90% of games.

I have a fullscreen in Fortnite and my FPS increases from it. Windowed Fullscreen is good for when I want to multitask but drops some FPS.

Are you sure you do?

Press volume up/down on your keyboard and if the windows volume overlay pops up in your game then you aren't actually in exclusive full screen. Or if you alt+tab out and it switches instantly you're using FSO.


From what I have read Fortnite is the same as all the others and does not have exclusive fullscreen even with "disable fullscreen optimizations" checked. W10 1903 and on ignores that setting.

To get exclusive fullscreen you'll need to edit your registry like I had to do with Apex.

Believe this is very engine depended and even so much so, game. I still play some older game, MMOs which almost cuts performance in half if outside exclusive. So multi boxing I have to launch 1 in exclusive with the other accounts in windowed.

I sort of remember issues or fixes last year sometime. Just remember it being in the news.

Edt: Scaling issues worked out? I remember weird issues with game resolution never matching desktop resolution. It would always just be a few pixels off. Example, if my resolution was 1920x1080, there wouldn't be a 1920x1080 option in settings, but something off like 1920x1024. This was on my laptop, specifically in AC:Origins and maybe others.

Upgraded over the past month:
Ryzen 2700 to 3900x
Coyotes 980ti to Evga 2070S XCU
E die dual rank DDR4 to B die single rank, 32GB
Kept X370 board

Gained 4 cores, 8 threads, 250mhz CPU
Gained 667 MHz RAM
Considering Amazon gift cards and selling hardware, cost me 550 out of pocket

Not sure it was worth it except I did play through Q2RTX

Why did you upgrade your cpu and not dump that into the gpu?

Did not find anyone willing to accept Amazon GC as partial payment for a 2080ti. Found a guy willing to sell me a NIB 2070s for 450 in Amazon GC. Needed to get beyond Maxwell to get GSync on my Freesync monitor. Wanted IPC and MHz improvement over 2700.

It’s better at 1440p but I still don’t get 144 FPS in everything. Meh.

You expect too much. Not even the 2080 Ti can average that on high/ ultra.
