Expert overclockers successfully push DOOM Eternal past 1k frames per second
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoIs it overly picky of me to wish they specified resolution and game settings?
- leddt 6y agoYou can see on the photo at the top that they were running at 1280x720. As for graphics settings I would guess minimum. Edit: seems mobile and desktop have a different crop of that image. Here is the image that shows 720: https://images.ctfassets.net/rporu91m20dc/1XYHhlYZzNI1NxRRJlrZYG/cdf10579d7387a9a9e87be46ff107690/DE_1000FPS_MOBILE_633x424.jpg?q=70&fm=webp https://images.ctfassets.net/rporu91m20dc/1XYHhlYZzNI1NxRRJl...
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoThanks - I even looked in the images for it. That would make sense as well in their discussion about CPU power - that resolution would require a lot of it compared to, say, 4k.
- sedatk 6y agoSo, does it count if I push 5000fps on 320x200?
- leddt 6y agoLooks like the benchmark was cpu bound, so I doubt going to an even lower resolution would help much.
- thih9 6y ago1x1px seems simpler. Or a 4k static background. I’d say they all count, though some are less exciting.
- sushshshsh 6y agoWell, there's always the 3990x humming along at 2.3 trillion instructions per second.
- sandworm101 6y agoNo. I just bought a 4k screen only to find out that 12k is coming down the pipe. I do not want to think about what 1000hz 12k screens will cost. Stop this madness now.
- theandrewbailey 6y agoFrames per second is not the same thing as your display refresh rate. Further, I'm not aware of any monitor capable of 1000hz operation.
- mikeyouse 6y agoFastest consumer ones seem to max out at 360hz right now; https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/asus-rog-swift-360hz-ces-2020/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/asus-rog-swift-360hz...
- anticensor 6y agoNeither your eyes nor your brain would be capable to cope with that.
- lostlogin 6y agoI had a quick look about to see what the eye/brain can actually perceive and the below is interesting. We can appreciate frame rates far higher than I thought. A pilot identifying a plane displayed for 1/220th of a second (reddit link) is pretty impressive. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-highest-frame-rate-fps-that-can-be-recognized-by-human-perception-At-what-rate-do-we-essentially-stop-noticing-the-difference https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-highest-frame-rate-fps-tha... https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1vy3qe/how_many_frames_per_second_can_the_eye_see/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1vy3qe/how_many...
- tripnull 6y agoYeah, and those tests were to comprehend the image to the point of identifying an air craft. If you're just trying to identify motion, you could probably perceive much higher frame rates.
- Whatarethese 6y agoCant wait for my 1000hz monitor!
- gerdesj 6y agoMy last CRT Iiyama monitor had quite a refresh rate - 120Hz or more - and the picture looked absolutely gorgeous. It weighed a tonne and took up quite a lot of desk.
- petterparker 6y agoMonitors with high refresh rates (usually 140Hz but up to 240Hz) are quite common among gamers these days.
- gerdesj 6y agoAny better than a CRT?
- Thaxll 6y agoCRT did have blurry and distorted image.
- VectorLock 6y agoI'd think so. CRTs could never match the resolution or size what with we see in LCDs today.
- majormajor 6y agoNot every high-hertz LCD will be better than a CRT in every dimension - black levels and off-angle viewing being the two points that a CRT could hope to lead on - but a 120hz OLED, on the other hand...
- system2 6y agoI have an MSI 32" 2K with 1ms gray-to-gray 144hz refresh rate. My old Philips CRT was 120hz. The new tech is absolutely better.
- sdenton4 6y agoTIL that there's such a thing as a 'grandmaster overclocker.' I also learned that literally pouring liquid nitrogen over a CPU from a cup is a grandmaster overclocker move.
- fuzxi 6y agoWith no gloves, to boot! Of course, the real grandmaster move is to use liquid helium - its boiling point is about 70C colder than nitrogen :)
- cheerlessbog 6y agoHow does even N2 not crack and warp the packages and boards? If I plunged my TV into liquid nitrogen I would expect it to not work - in a violent way.
- TrainedMonkey 6y agoYou insulate the motherboard. The aim is to allow only die contact the cup your N2 is in. There are still problems like cpu/board/components not working due to low temperature or condensation. Generally they are solved by better insulation and trying different components until you find ones that work. Overclocking is 25% cooling and 75% picking parts that can operate at low temperatures and high frequencies.
- smitty1110 6y agoDon't forget the crazy binning for ram sticks, cpu dies, and graphics cards. There's a reason all the top guys have major sponsorships, it takes a lot of money to find the top 1% of parts.
- gsteinb88 6y agoCarrier freezout actually makes this non-workable -- there's a limit to how cold you can make CMOS devices before they stop functioning. To say nothing of the specific heat of liquid helium, which is miniscule compared to LN2
- endergen 6y agoI’d want motion blur on then for super natural looking motion
- dwighttk 6y agoBut can it run Crysis?
- stephc_int13 6y agoWhat is interesting, from the screenshot, is that the game is actually CPU bound. Contrary to an often held belief in the high-end video games optimization circles.
- 654wak654 6y agoYou can just lower graphics settings to get more out of the GPU, but there is no CPU equivalent to that like "lowering AI quality".
