So while I have been looking around for 27" monitors the ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q (Newegg $699) keeps coming up as top recommendation on review sites. However I have been looking at the Samsung C27hg70 (Newegg $499). The main differences is the samsung sports QLED, curved screen, HDR, and freesync 2. The QLED and the curved screen sound nice. While I like the idea behind adaptive sync I have no experience of it working. It should be noted this uses Freesync 2, rather than g-sync. Review sites say that Freesync 2 is supposed to fix the problems with freesync 1. I have found older reviews stating that freesync had flickering problems in both IL2 and DCS but some of which may have been fixed with later patches. Anyone have a recent experience with freesync 1 or 2? Does it work in IL2 and DCS? I am trying to find a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor with nice color, open to suggestions.

Very good to know you had similar system and that a 1070 should work fine even with the uwhd. Would I see any difference between a 1070ti vs standard 1070? I still like playing old games (x-wing and tie fighter) which won't work for VR. Also, I am waiting till VR is more developed and refined with supporting hardware. I have tried VR at a demo last fall and I could really notice the dead spaces between pixels, to me it was like looking outside through the sliding screen door as a kid. And I could tell resolution made distant things a little blurry. My main frustration, currently, is with spotting and iff, which from what I have read are still issues with VR, but can be helped with bigger higher res monitor.

Getting tired of using a single 22" (1680x1050 res) for flight sims, mainly DCS and IL2-BOS. I am interested in two things: 1, upgrading to a single 2k monitor, 2 what do I need to upgrade to run such monitor. Was wanting to get at least a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor, but looking into things turns out they have curved ultrawide monitors now and G-sync is interesting to me. I don't live in a city that has a computer store to see these things. Largest size I could fit on desk would be a 34" monitor, but would have to have speakers at weird angles to do so, a 27" would fit nicely without having to put speakers off weird. While I don't need to play on ultra I would like to play on high settings. Looking into things seems like i might need to at least upgrade video card, was thinking getting a GTX 1070 could run a single 2K monitor. Currently I have i5-4690k at stock 3.5 ghz, ASUS Z97-A, 32 Gb ram, EVGA GTX 770 dual super-clocked 4GB, with both games installed on OS SSD. What do you guys think 27" or 34"? What will i need for other upgrades to run?

I have this same issue. It says right click on the right nob to change from (x/y) modulation to frequency select. But right clicking just changes from x to y same as left clicking. I have tried changing it to 31X by rolling the mouse wheel but it seems to be waiting for a right click to switch the modes. I want to finish this training mission and move on to the weapons, have already completed the landing one. Please help

I just checked my ping in the multiplayer games I can briefly join by using the show score command ' key. My ping varies from 75 to 102 before I get disconnected. Anything below 250 ping should be acceptable. I don't know what else it could be but its not the connection to the server.

I have these same issues. Two days ago was able to play fine on multiplayer servers. Today, everytime I join a server either it gives me a connection timed out or in the middle of playing (which was running smoothly) it kicks me out. But like others I could still hear the plane and control it i.e. I could move the throttle and hear the engine rev up and down. This is really frustrating me as I like to fly the wwii fighters and their isn't a good way to quickly setup fights between other wwii fighters only.

I loved the mighty eighth, best game IMHO, it captured an essence of being there, due in no small part to the immersive menu system, and personnel aspects of the game. Had lots of replay value given in part by the openness of what they allowed you to do.

Well if dcs is CPU dominated should I be looking at a i7 instead of an i5 and a z97 chipset instead of h97?

Hey all, I need a new computer in order to play through the mustang campaign and multiplayer. I also play war thunder. I have come up with this build so far, will this work well for these two games on at least high settings playing smoothly? Is it a balanced setup? Any problems/dumb mistakes? Are their better places for me to ask these questions?

I see how to change color, distances, and info displayed but not text size, please help

Will that change give problems with multiplayer? I'm a bit leery of changing the games files if it might think I'm cheating or tampering with it. If I change those files it's not going to corrupt anything?

The labels for targets are too small too read. I've tried changing dpi settings in os but it makes no difference. I have figured out how to turn them off but that doesn't help with range info. Any ideas? :helpsmilie: Running 1920x1080 on hd tv Intel core 2 duo 8400 Ati 4870 hd Windows vista 64 bit
