    Besides buying a calorimeter, what other ways can I calibrate my monitor?

    LG 24mb35d-b is the monitor. And I'm not sure which standard? Mainly the colors look a bit washed out possibly due to brightness and contrast being a little off. The monitor doesn't seem to be on that site :( Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Besides buying a calorimeter, what other ways can I calibrate my monitor?

    Hello AT forums. So in the past I've used the Joe Kane Digital Video Essentials to calibrate my TVs however. It doesn't seem to be working well with my new pc monitor. I was wondering which ways you guys calibrate your monitors besides getting a dedicated $100+ piece of hardware.

    G4560 can handle 4k 60fps?

    https://youtu.be/BDG-dQsHymE In this video, the guy claims that the G4560 is almost on par with the 7700k in 4k gaming. Is this actually legit? Are these big gamer catered cpus just a marketing scheme to sell a product which a much cheaper product is just as capable for the job?

    PC built around GTX 1050TI

    I'm not trying to argue that cpu does not impact performance at all. I was simply wondering if the quad core x3370 can compete with the dual core i3-6100 in terms of performance in-game. As for those prebuilt workstations. Seems that they go for around 300 on ebay but that's without some...

    PC built around GTX 1050TI

    Aren't 2011 motherboards expensive as heck? And looking at some benchmarks on youtube. 1050ti + i3-6100 yield almost the same results as my old xeon 3ggz processor. Does cpu not matter much in games such as witcher 3, rise of the tomb raider, dark souls 3?

    PC built around GTX 1050TI

    Well I can almost do that now with the 1050ti paired with an old xeon x3370, I get around 45-50 fps. Not full 100% ultra settings, and especially not AA, but most other settings at high to ultra settings. I'm hoping that a cpu upgrade will help bring me to the 60fps sweet spot. That i3, since...

    PC built around GTX 1050TI

    I would like to play the latest games at high-ultra settings and hit 60fps 1080p, which the 1050ti should be capable of. I have a tv with actual resolution of 768p but I may be upgrading to 1080p. I need no other peripherals nor have any kind of preference to size, anything will do. The tv...

    PC built around GTX 1050TI

    Hey AT. So I guess it's time for me to start saving up and build a much better pc for myself, I already have a 1050ti and a hdd I suppose, and need recommendations on a build to complement the gpu and not hit the wallet very hard. CPU and mobo is what I am mainly unsure of getting. And having...

    What settings impact performance the most?

    I'll use that and see the usage I actually thought all pc gamers like to associate themselves as pcmr? Lol. I didn't post it on reddit I thought it was a universal term to describe pc gamers What? EDIT: So I was able to find a working 1gb stick from an old dead pc. So far. I'm really...

    What settings impact performance the most?

    Thing is my board only supports ddr2 ram which is expensive af nowadays. I'll try to at least get 6gb. It supports max 4x2gb sticks. I'll look into the draw distance and texture detail levels. Or try to make the page size a little larger. Getting ram is my last resort I suppose.

    What settings impact performance the most?

    Hey PCMR. I recently got a gtx 1050ti, and I'm kind of underwhelmed by the performance. I'm not even on high settings 1080p on doom and witcher 3 and I'm getting all kinds of stutters and 40-50fps. I have a xeon 3.0 ghz quad core and 4gb ram. Can the ram be the issue? Or is it my settings? What...

    Does a PCI-E card with USB 3.0 and SD card slot exist?

    1) oh I see, I didn't know that! I thought all pcie were 75w 2) I heard that about molex to 6pin for gpu cards, and thought that pretty much all molex adapters were kinda bad. My fault for assumptions. In my pc, it was a sff 275 watt psu from 2008. They simply deemed it unnecessary to have a...
