@GamersNexus Latency is such an overlooked topic. People underestimate the impact of milliseconds. youtube.com/watch?v=vOvQCP…

Another engineering interview & deep-dive is live! This one talks about how latency 'works,' how game engines process input, the pipeline for user input to action in games, and more! youtube.com/watch?v=Fj-wZ_…

@BlurBusters What about processing lag?

Official RAM specs don't necessarily include timings. Another example taken from the Ryzen 9 7950X3D product page, see screenshot below. There is no JEDEC standard for DDR5-3600. In summary, while AMD's official RAM specifications might align with certain aspects of JEDEC standards, they are not equivalent.

Nah, I published 3 launch articles (11900K, 11400F, 12900K) all using official RAM specs, except DDR5 benchmarks for the 12900K, because DDR5-4400 (1DPC) is extremely slow. The 7950X3D article explicitly was an OC test. Btw, official RAM specs != JEDEC. Guys, a bit more fact checking before posting would be nice.

@BlurBusters What about different resolutions? Unless reviewers disclose the speed and/or show the Sync Track, there is no way to tell if the comparison is fair. IMO, Testufo should ask the user the diagonal of the display and calculate the velocity in m/s.

@Bra1nlet A new version of TestUFO 2.0 is coming out that will fix this problem. Keep tuned.

@HardwareUnboxed It's important to note that the UFO speed often is different due to the refresh rate. I believe the real speed can be calculated with: round(speed / refreshRate) * refreshRate.

@TechYESCity @der8auer @GamersNexus @hardwarecanucks @HardwareUnboxed @LinusTech @paulhardware @TechTesterseu @OptimumTechYT @TechPowerUp @tomshardware Personally, I value low latency and jitter over high FPS, especially since it usually implies having high FPS anyway. However, FPS alone doesn't tell you anything about the latency and jitter.

@TechYESCity @der8auer @GamersNexus @hardwarecanucks @HardwareUnboxed @LinusTech @paulhardware @TechTesterseu @OptimumTechYT @TechPowerUp @tomshardware For example, take a look at Igor's tests: despite the 4060 TI (non OC) having higher FPS than the 3060 TI in this specific case, the latency is double, while the overclocked version has lower latency but much higher jitter. igorslab.de/en/amd-radeon-…

Please consider including "PCLatency" stats in hardware reviews when testing supported games @der8auer @GamersNexus @hardwarecanucks @HardwareUnboxed @LinusTech @paulhardware @TechTesterseu @TechYESCity @OptimumTechYT @TechPowerUp @tomshardware

@HardwareUnboxed Could you include the PC Latency stats when testing supported games? It's available in FrameView 1.4 forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?…

To be completely transparent about our transparent quality presets, based on feedback from you (the viewer) we moved away from testing every game with high/ultra and used the requested medium/low presets for competitive titles such as Fortnite, PUBG, CSGO and so on.

@Buildzoid1 reminder that Linpack Xtreme still uses the 2018.3 executable (latest is 2022.2) intel.com/content/www/us…

@Felipetweaks That's why it says "approximate". Browsers aren't accurate. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

@OptimumTechYT @CaIypto @JediLive The cause is moving tear lines which blend into perceived stutter. Here is some slowed down video material: github.com/BoringBoredom/…

@CaIypto @JediLive Interested to hear your testing if you'd like to share more 😃

@Buildzoid1 Linpack Xtreme uses very outdated binaries (2018). You can grab the latest from 2022 here: registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/irc_nas/…
