Good thread.

I am rtx 4080 super anon and I love feces. It started out as curiosity, then one day I dipped my finger in doo and I licked it. The rest is history. I accept questions regarding my gpu.

Hey guys
Is there an actual science behind capping 3fps below the refresh rate for gsync to work well or is it just a random number thrown there? Or is it dependent on the monitor itself being able to handle it?
I have a 360hz monitor and I'll be honest, I don't think I ever play anything that reaches those FPS except old games. I have a 4070 super and except for multiplayer games I don't play such as marvel rivals I don't think I get 200fps on almost anything (well, maybe I can get games like Falcom garbage to play at higher framerates but that's about it). If something, I'll be using 360hz sometimes with RetroArch and that CRT simulation bullshit, which doesn't work well with FPS caps.
However I'm checking that people are just throwing out sometimes -3fps, sometimes -24fps, I don't fucking know what the cap is supposed to be or if it's some placebo bullshit that is already handled automagically but some people are stuck in the past, like hundreds of other tweaks out there. What is optimal and not bullshit here?

It's to prevent you from reaching/going beyond the monitors refresh rate. If you have vsync enabled you'll drop a frame when it reaches the cap and vsync reanables, and if it's disabled it'll just screen tear.

There is a formula it's like (refresh rate*refresh rate)÷4096

On my 360hz I used a cap of 320, though since it's an OLED I generally just disable vrr since it flickers like a motherfucker.

Newfag pc builder here.

I recently put together a ryzen 9800x3d, 5080 and ddr5 32gb 6400 MHz build.

I am currently using an x870 WiFi gaming plus motherboard.

When I start it up, the motherboard red and yellow light turn on and the yellow turns off but red stays on.

Any thoughts or ideas on what to do? Thank you!

Reseat the ram in the correct slots and push all the way down.

Thats nothing, I've seen nicotroon dig up 4 or 5 year old reddit posts to bump these threads. At this point I assume its some jeet in india whp's actually getting paid by amd for it.

And to think i was going to go out of my way to find a solution and help. Fuck sake do I even bother trying anymore?

Don't participate in nico poster threads

So just had bad would running a single 16 gig stick in 2026 be? Will I have to everything closed and nothing running in the background when gaming? I will need discord at least to talk to friends.

depends on the game and what you usually have running
