Fact of the matter is, I'll probably be salvaging this build and giving it to my girlfriend rather than selling it off. Plus, DDR4 will be cheaper by the time I'm buying the processor (winter Retail Edge sale). So I might just give her the entire build, minus storage, and build myself something new.

Do you know if Intel is planning on releasing a 6core or 8core i7 variant on an enthusiast platform, like Broadwell-E? Generally in Retail Edge they sell the top of the line 115X processor for $80 and the top of the line enthusiast socket processor for $140 or so. I just don't know if they'll have one in time.

1. Sweet, sweet Retail Edge.
2. That's also about the only major issue I could foresee. Having 16GB is pretty essential to me as I'm a heavy multitasker, and having to rebuy 16GB in DDR4 wouldn't be cheap. However there are boards already with DDR3 support. And yes, I'll be able to take advantage of multithreading, I'm a heavy user. I was just asking you in case I forgot something.

Well, both panels have a 5ms response time, and the newer monitor has a higher contrast ratio. Both are TN, so there shouldn't be that drastic of a blur discrepancy.

I'm really not sure. I'll have to look more into it.

Well, to put it simply there are far, far more differences between panels besides just their refresh rate.

Can you tell me what your old and new monitor models are, specifically?

Aww c'mon setsul, don't you like explaining hyperthreading and CPU bottlenecks from scratch every thread?

Serious unrelated question though: thoughts on upgrading from a 2500k to a 6700k, assuming the 6700k is $80?

Again, if you upload your version for me I'll show you where to edit it. Generally though, you're gunna want to look at resource\ui\HudInspectPanel.res and add "enable" "0" to "itempanel". At least that's where it is in yayahud, the only HUD I have downloaded right now.

toss me a dropbox of your current version/install and i'll take a look tomorrow

deetr, 120fps at 144Hz is objectively a worse experience than 120fps at 120Hz, because frames are being duplicated which causes stutter. There is no true upside as any slight input lag reduction is completely nullified by duplicated frames.

Of course, you could always just get 144fps and them have a better experience.

are you getting any console spam?

chris is outdated and buggy with more recent versions of the game

For my monitor, lightboost is enabled on the monitor itself. Might just be me though.

Lightboost is hardware limited to only work at 100Hz and above.

Standard lightboost only works between 100Hz and 120Hz but BenQ's implementation works at 144Hz.

it doesn't look modified, it looks old
