That’s great glad to have been helpful. I know what a minefield it was when I was choosing. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed it looks a good monitor for MSFS.
Pretty pleased with it! It’s a bit smaller than I was hoping (not as tall and about same width as my old 32” 16:9) but I’ve moved it as close as possible to my yoke and it looks really nice and clear compared to my 1080p old screen. I was imagining it would wrap around me more but it’s way off being able to do that.
Sound is really quite good. HDR is bad - very dark but I’m still fiddling with settings.
One thing I don’t understand is I have MSFS set to Vsync at 33% of my monitor refresh rate, so that should be 48fps (144hz), but it’s going up to and over 60 at times and GPU is at 100% all the time. I’ve not locked it in NVCP, so should I do that as well?
Glad your enjoying your new monitor, yes the HDR is generally quite poor unless your spending much more on a monitor. It’s dark on mine too but you can overcome this by increasing the HDR brightness in the windows settings. Although this also generally makes HDR harder to notice.
I’m not sure about why your monitor isn’t being restricted to 48fps, that does seem strange. There may be a setting in the monitor settings to turn on AMD Freesync on which is the case with the Mateview GT monitor I have. In the Mateview GT it’s turned off by default and you need to enable it.
The only info I can find pressing all the buttons on the remote is this. Which is even stranger as it says 60hz! Currently I’m at 45-50fps in the Kodiak which is fairly heavy. Maybe I need to RTFM
EDIT: did notice that in NVCP if I try to enable G-Sync, it says Selected Display is not validated as G-SYNC Compatible. But it still lets me tick it.
To enable this monitor set it as Primary Display on Set up multiple displays. But it is I think. I don’t have the display mirrored or spread to any other screens.
I think for your original question the only setting you need in NVCP is this
But I don’t have Gsync so I could be wrong (again )
That’s seems strange it says 60hz on the monitor. Have you have the refresh rate in the windows/Nvidia display settings? For me I had to change this to 165hz as 60hz was selected by default.
Also are you using a HDMI or Display Port cable?
It’s using Display Port cable that came with the screen. I did read the manual and didn’t realise I had to download and install the driver for it. Did that now and can select 144hz (or 100 or 59.9 something). Also did a firmware update.
So I’ve selected 144 now in Windows but in MSFS the 33% of refresh rate is still behaving the same. Swings from 30 to 60 fps. Usually around 45-55 everywhere I’ve tried and no tearing etc so I’m really pleased anyway. It’s just weird. My GPU is 100% maxed all the time (DLSS quality at native resolution). I’d prefer to lock the frames to give my CPU an easier time but actually it’s perfectly good now so “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”!
Absolutely blown away what my little OneXPlayer plus eGPU setup can drive!! This is all I have behind my screen now lol
Left output to eGPU. Right cable to USB hub for all controllers and stream deck. Middle USB dongle for mouse and keyboard. The eGPU has wired internet 900mbit fibre going in which the PC “sees” no problem and a 5tb hard disk for all my planes (which load fine maybe a bit slower, but it’s only once to start the flight) and some freeware large Photogrammetry cities (and backups of all mods)
Could be a feature I’m not up to date with the tech. I’d be more interested what happens when you hit 60fps and beyond, does 60Hz stay there or does it move up with the numbers?
