>>RECOMMENDED CPUs** >HTPC(4K60)/Web Browsing: i3 10105 | Zen 2 equivalent 4K60 is a total meme for HTPCs. When will 120Hz become the new 60Hz? I don't care about /high/ refresh rates I just want 120Hz because it's a magic number for preventing judder on 24fps shit while allowing seamless playback of 30 and 60 FPS stuff. 60Hz should be made illegal for new displays.
I want to reduce outlet clutter. I saw some power supply for something some time ago that let you hook up the computer tower to one wall outlet and it had an output for connecting a monitor, kind of like daisy chaining but for the power supply.
I'm not sure if it was for some proprietary thing or if it was a regular american three prong outlet on the back of the PSU but either way the idea has me interested. What's the best way to make the average PC + average monitor only require one wall outlet to power both?

Bought new for 500€ on Amazon, which is near MSRP and unhoped for. I'll blogpost here if it turns out to lack thermal pads in critical areas and set houses on fire instantly.
Depends on the anime. Commonly it's shot at 24fps but some are slower or faster because of cgi crap or their style choice. It shouldn't matter really if your video player can utilize freesync since the monitor will sync up with the frames assuming your monitors range isn't terrible.

Thanks to all anons that answered my questions in this general, I've decided to go along with pic related, I'm pretty tight on budget without many options available locally so I picked the best "bang for buck" parts I could find, will be used for 3D and rendering stuff with a little bit of gayming on the side.
Whatever the fuck you're doing with your RAM, stop that and buy two at the same time or 4 or whatever.

It's not about content it's about the output during playback. 60Hz displays don't display 24FPS content properly, you've gotta overclock them to 72Hz or run them at 48Hz to allow frame tripling or doubling or else you get judder during playback.
Refresh rate has to be an integer multiple of the content framerate for perfect playback.
>Wait, is my 144hz hampering my animu watching experience? Potentially, yes. For any anime at 24FPS source 144Hz is fine and allows perfect playback. 144/24=6 so every frame simply persists through 6 refresh cycyles and doesn't interpolate or have any judder. If you were to get a 180Hz monitor, you'd have some judder.
120Hz and 144Hz are fine for 24FPS but while 144Hz is fine for 24 it can't properly play back 30FPS or 60FPS content. Unless you're a gaymer who really wants 24 more FPS than 120, 120Hz is literally the the master race refresh rate.
>It shouldn't matter really if your video player can utilize freesync since the monitor will sync up with the frames assuming your monitors range isn't terrible. This only works in actual fullscreen mode where the application is allowed to change refresh rate. So, in general usage you're not going to get Netflix/Hulu/YouTube to work with this unfortunately. 144Hz user can always just run his 144Hz display at 120Hz to avoid these issues for normal usage stepping down to perfection, then enable 144Hz for gaming if he wants it then.

Yeah the RAM modules are different but I'm too lazy to change them just for this post, also forgot to mention that I'll add another 8x2gb down the line

>This only works in actual fullscreen mode where the application is allowed to change refresh rate. Dunno about Nvidia but on AMD you can choose between exclusive or borderless for freesync in the driver for your application.
Eli Taylor
Is that new? I don't see that in Radeon Settings on my late April drivers.
