What's that latency testing program? I'll give mine a go

#7 MX Blue O-Rings in Hardware

I have o-rings on my browns which are identical to blues in most aspects but without the click. The tactile bump is still very noticeable, but I think it will depend on how you type. I only bottom out about half the time so I'm used to noticing the tactile bump, but when I do bottom out the o-rings mean the bottom out position is maybe 0.5-1mm rather than 2mm below the bump so I'm learning to notice it more there as well.

Excellent read. Hope we can read another about i52 in a few years time. To me those games really were the pinnacle of TF2 so far.

ClankReally? I saw one yesterday and didn't think much of the difference. Maybe it was a rip by the store. Either that or I need my glasses changed again.

Are the desktop icons like super tiny? How many scrolls do you need to make it work?

Desktop icons are quite small, but not unreadable. My eyesight close to a monitor is quite good so everything is still readable, you just get more on the screen which I like. What do you mean about scrolls?

maidosi guess its pain watching videos when most tv series are 1080p?
alot blurry when u watch in fullscreen right?

No, because 3840x2160 is exactly 4 times the pixels as 1080p, 1080p scales perfectly. For every pixel you get at 1080p, you have 4 pixels to represent that one pixel at 4k. 1080p at 28 inches isn't the best pixel density but it certainly isn't the worst. Same thing with 720p, although 9 4k pixels per 720p pixel. No interpolation required.
You're going to run into issues with low bitrates before you start noticing resolution in most cases. I have some extremely high bitrate 1080p videos and they look better than most 4k youtube videos because youtube goes hard on the compression.

BonafideI'm just gonna wait a few years, prices will drop, I mean, my parents bought a tv 5 years ago for something like 800 euros, Full HD 40 inch, nowdays you can get way better panels for 330 euro's.

You can get 4k monitors for under £400 now. 60hz IPS ones for around £500, my TN G-Sync monitor would cost £500. They've come down a hell of a lot, and after the next wave of products is announced at CES in January I wouldn't be at all surprised to see 4k monitors being sold at the €330 mark you said. If you shopped around, you could probably get a 4k 60hz monitor for the same price or cheaper than some 1080p 144hz monitors.

phraxHoly shit, do you even need AA anymore? Wow.

All the testing I've done has been without AA on because I wanted to see if I'd notice it. I can't say I did but I only had an afternoon with it before going home for Christmas. I wanted to test ship rigging (a hotspot for jaggies because of all the small straight lines) in AC4: Black Flag but Uplay lost my 98% save file so I had to start from scratch, hours away from any shipping port. I personally don't think it will be necessary. 2x MSAA maybe in say the ship rigging scenario, but things along the lines of SSAA or anything supersampling related are probably completely unnecessary. Anything supersampling related is also going to kill your machine. Even 2x SSAA (render at twice your native resolution and downscale) is rendering at 7680x4320 which is 33m pixels, four times as many as 3840x2160. If you were getting 60fps rendering at 4k and you turn 2x SSAA on, you're now running at 15fps or lower due to downscaling overhead.
People said the same about AA at 1080p in comparison to 720p and lower. A few years down the road when "everyone" is running 4k, there will still be complaints about jaggies because you can't ever entirely get rid of them. Even on my 450dpi 1080p 5 inch phone you can see jaggies if you look hard enough.

#7 4k vidya (large screenshots, 4k 10MB each) in Other Games

Maxed no AA in black flag, running at about 20fps lol, needed to whack things down to even medium to get above 30. The screenshot below is without SweetFX so it could look even better.

I would check the ship rigging but uplay managed to lose my 98% save so shit out of luck there, can't get to any ship rigging any time soon.

dMenaceJimiJamKind of a vague question but how much of a difference is there? I've never actually seen a 4K panel in person so I literally have no semblance of how good it is in real life. Those screenshots are awesome though
At higher resolution it's way easier to remove the uneven edges at close distances. Visually you can just grasp the minor details much easier because it's more apparent in a subtle way. You can get a pseudo-effect of 4k on 1080p just by cranking up Temporal Anti-Aliasing to the max via GPU settings. Or do 1080p at 16x SSAA to basically render at 8k. SSAA is an Anti-Aliasing mode which downsamples it to your resolution. So apply a setting to render at a much higher resolution and squish it back down to your resolution and bewm you have shitty pseudo 4k.

Yeah I've made sure to avoid AA to see if I can notice any at 4k. Trying black flag now to check ship rigging which is a hotspot for jaggies but uplay is being a dick and won't launch it.

Had far cry 3 running, looked great but had weird lag at ~45fps maxed without AA on my 980, felt less smooth than Metro Last Light did and that was sub 40fps. I suspect gsync wasn't kicking in properly.
