OK, so last night I did a proper gaming session. Bumped up the resolution to 5K with DSR and it looks great now! Granted, it still looks like my IPS but with proper blacks. My brain and eyes still need to get used to ultra wide. But I'm really liking it now in a dark room. Not happy about how reflective it is when my blinds are only half down. The pixel refresh every 4h is annoying though. I've had it twice now during a gaming session. If I keep the monitor I'll forever be paranoid about burn it. Games have many static elements on screen and I'm the kind of person who plays one game obsessively start to finish before starting a new one. If it burns it when the warranty is up in 3 years it's the first and last OLED I bought. Way too expensive for such a short life. But maybe it won't be that bad, we'll see. Annoying issue that I'm not sure what causes it is massive camera stutter in BG3 that wasn't there before. Gave me an instant headache. Thought it might be high fps of 110-130 even on 5K. Capped it to 60, didn't help. Camera stutter isn't new though going by Early Access posts about it. So I'll ignore it. If I turn the camera slowly it's fine. Could be DSR related too, haven't checked yet. The issue with text is no big deal to me since it's not my work PC. In games it's fine. Not as shart as IPS but not a problem to me. The biggest change is the glossy screen and how it makes everything look a little different. I'll do the firmware update later. I've never done this for a monitor before, I hope I don't mess it up. Dell recommends using a tablet because the screen will go dark. I assumed I could just an USB pendrive, ölig it in and be done with it, hmmm.... Here is my "monitor flicker test" but also fits your use scenario:

LOL, turns out the monitor already came with the latest firmware update that supposedly fixes HDR. I was just about to start the update when the tool said it's the same one. Except it sure didn't fix shit in BG3.
Maybe I need to adjust settings in windows...
If nothing works the game looks good enough with HDR.

You might try that, but I would caution you against adjusting COlour settings in Windows especially if there is Software and any kind of Global Settings Profile in your GPU through Nvidia Control Panel. I use the PD3200U Professional series 4K monitor from BENQ and when I first got it in mid 2019 I installed their software because I thought 'why not?', but I soon found that the software, Windows and Global GPU Settings I had did not play well together and I was getting all kinds of COlour and Resolution misbehaviours. I had to keep going into the Monitor Settings in Control Panel and deleting the Profiles and then resetting the profiles in the Software and uninstalling and then RE-installing the GPU drivers with a Clean Install. It just became a wild P I M A...... So ultimately, I now use nothing but the buttons on the monitor itself to make any adjustments and I have had no issues of that kind at all.

I don't even touch of those settings in Windows or Nvidia Control Panel. I just calibrate any monitor with my Calibrite Display Pro and DisplayCAL, change the settings on the monitor, and then use the custom color profile generated by DisplayCAL.  To set up HDR though, you need to enable it first in Windows. Windows 11 has better HDR implementation than Windows 10. In Windows 11, you can also enable "Auto HDR" that it automatically converts games from SDR to HDR. This is a great feature for your "older" games that don't have HDR output. Windows 11's Auto HDR works great for Cyberpunk 2077 for example.

So today I switched to my EVGA X17 Gaming Mouse....and problems solved! My PC is back to functioning like a PC should. The body of the X17 is a slimmer shape than the G502 Hero which I have always used so I am more used to...But I suppose I can get used to this too. The X17 looks to be a really good mouse, so I will use it and get used to it.
Suppose I should install the Software too.

I'm keeping the OLED monitor against better judgement. 5K DSR and ultra wide are actually really nice and no IPS glow is SO good!
I don't know if it's the location but I enabled HDR for BG3 again and it looks good now. No deep blacks in that location despite it being a cave but I checked without HDR and it seems more or less the same. Pitch black on the map borders though in HDR so I assume working as intended. The bright stuff hurt my eyes a bit though and gave me a slight headache until my eyes adjusted. Book pages are still way too bright though even though I'm on TrueBlack400 and not HDR1000 which is even brighter. Might have to tweak max brightness a bit. Whoever is saying OLED is not bright enough has not used it in a dark room. And also QD OLED is brighter than the TVs. I agree the brightness on the TVs is lacking. But on this monitor plenty bright. Which means the pixels will burn out extra fast... lol.

Trying to adjust my EVGA X17's precision to match that of the G502 HERO, because I'm still finding it to be not as accurate as I would like. For example, in in-game Menus rather than the cursor being right on top of what I want....it is now floating just beneath the selection I want or some ways off of it.
Can I make adjustments for that?

In windows? Well in Windows 10 there is a mouse panel in the control panel that allowed some modifications under pointer options. Like selecting a pointer speed, enhance pointer precision among others. That said you may actually find that the "snap to" function may be on.

Hmm wasted half my evening to fiddle with HDR again because in the location I'm now I don't like it anymore. It's not badly washed out but I think I'll play without HDR. Yeah, the highlights pop but I'd rather have better saturation. I tried the windows calibration app but it didn't help one bit. It's not a big deal, maybe it looks right in other games.

So the room is dark or brightly lit? If the prior try adding light from an outside window through the mirror trap or if too bright then seal the windows with cardboard and black duct tape to seal out the light.

No amount of fiddling with the settings helps with the raised black levels in HDR. My gaming room can be turned pitch dark thanks to heavy blinds, that's not an issue. |

I just checked the EVGA software and the Angle Snapping is not on. When using anything else it is perfect....I just notice that in Game Menus it seems to be a bit off tilt. Like I said, rather than being right on Load Game or Options and selecting it.....I have to be to the right side of the Menu in an open space of the screen and below the item I actually want....sort of in between the difference options.....Then I can left-click on Continue Game (or whatever else) and it picks it up. But if I try to switch back to my G 502......it's like the rodent is completely dead. Sure I can move it all around and the Pointer works just fine.....But I get zero response when Right or Left Clicking on anything. None. Which is why I've changed to my EVGA mouse and I'm slowly getting used to it.......After only using Logitech for 30 years, it's different to use anything else.

Good morning, Vanguard. Thanks for your post. Your suggestion sounds intriguing....and if I weret he technical 'tactile, take-it-apart, put-it-together-again' kind of person with much, much better fine-motor control I would take you up on that. But alas, my hand-eye coordination and fine-motor control are not good....so as enticing as that suggestion sounds, I think I should leave well enough alone and just use my EVGA mouse the way it is. Though, honestly, after using it for a week....I do prefer the 502 Hero if only because I think the body shape fits my hands better. That was an interesting idea though....

All right, could me my constant Baldur's Gate 3 crashes are caused by my system running too hot. I just talked to somebody with the exact same CPU and cooler and they're getting only 55C running the game while I was at 92C after 20min! The cooler is super loud instantly because it's working its ass off. I didn't think much of the temps before, figured BG3 was CPU intensive and the 13th gen runs hot and can take those temps. But the difference is so big my cooler must not be seated right. I was advised to reseat it and maybe use a thermal bracket, which I just ordered. Their system was running too hot too and reseating it fixed it. I used to think overheating simply results in thermal throttling which then causes fps dips. But crashes too then? Nobody else is having so many crashes. People on machines as old as my previous one are running the game fine. On ultra even, lol! Like my friend: 5th gen and GTX 1070. Goshhh, is this PC cursed? Can one guy be making so many mistakes? I was told he was good by his former employer! I just want to finally game in peace.  Edit: OK, now somebody else chimed in with a Noctua D15 and said they hit 90C sometimes too, although usually it's between 75-80C. They use a bracket too. So now I'm confused. I'm still going through with trying a bracket though. Maybe it helps. I don't want to keep thinking what if my system runs like crap because of bad temps, you know. And I'll try anything to stop the game from crashing. |

I just talked to somebody with the exact same CPU and cooler and they're getting only 55C running the game while I was at 92C after 20min! The cooler is super loud instantly because it's working its ass off. I didn't think much of the temps before, figured BG3 was CPU intensive and the 13th gen runs hot and can take those temps. But the difference is so big my cooler must not be seated right. I was advised to reseat it and maybe use a thermal bracket, which I just ordered. Their system was running too hot too and reseating it fixed it. I used to think overheating simply results in thermal throttling which then causes fps dips. But crashes too then? Nobody else is having so many crashes. People on machines as old as my previous one are running the game fine. On ultra even, lol! Like my friend: 5th gen and GTX 1070. Goshhh, is this PC cursed? Can one guy be making so many mistakes? I was told he was good by his former employer! I just want to finally game in peace.  Edit: OK, now somebody else chimed in with a Noctua D15 and said they hit 90C sometimes too, although usually it's between 75-80C. They use a bracket too. So now I'm confused. I'm still going through with trying a bracket though. Maybe it helps. I don't want to keep thinking what if my system runs like crap because of bad temps, you know. And I'll try anything to stop the game from crashing. If they have the same setup and the room temperatures are the same and the GPU is the same but are getting lower temperatures then its most likely they followed Jayz guide here: Intel always run hot but with this last generation: 13th Gen and 7000 series from Intel and AMD respectively are supposedly designed to "run" hot and not be damaged. Though this proves otherwise. And as ERRORED is the biggest sham they got going on right now. Kappa Neko dazk UPDATE: the link was to the wrong post sorry.

OK, my CPU seems to have actually overheated because the screen went black and the computer rebooted. This never happens on my old rig, no matter how warm it got in summer. Today is pretty warm again but I'm not even sweating yet at maybe 28C. Maybe it's warmer in my room, not sure. I tolerate stuffy rooms much better than most people.
Funny enough yesterday I didn't have a single crash and it was just as warm inside.
Wondering if having the GPU right below the cooler is making the CPU overheat and not the CPU the GPU as he was worried about. GPU temps are still OK, I think.
So I booted the game again and while it didn't crash for another half an hour it went up to 98C. That's crazy to me. I hope my PC dude knows how to undervolt the CPU correctly. Few PC shop guys actually do gaming rigs, it seems. Probably because most people into PC gaming build their own PCs.
In any case, fingers crossed I can get the temps under control with a thermal bracket + undervolting + GPU in the lower slot. I pray he'll get this all set up right this time. This is stressing me out so much.
What kind of shitty design is the 12th and 13th gen? Great performance, sure. But what's the point of it if it overheats??

Here is a quick and dirty method to try to check if its something heat related. Take the side panel off and do the same things causing the system to crash and see if it spikes in temperature. If it does then yes definately do a reseat. If not it means there is an air flow problem somewhere.

Just to clarify... Which case is it again? Same I've had for 8 years now:Corsair Graphite Series 780T It's a HUGE heavy case: pcper.com/2015/05/corsair-graphite-series-780t-white-full-tower-case-review/3/I have no plans to upgrade it. I still love how it looks. Haven't dared turn on the PC again but will later with the side panels off. I doubt it's the airflow unless a hotter CPU suddenly causes airflow problems where I never had any before. My former PC guy ditched my Noctua D14 though for a slim top blower claiming it's better airflow. Was VERY skeptical. Never had any issues even though that seemed weird. Might be the 4790K wasn't that demanding. *shrugs* |

No. 4790K is no where as demanding as 13th Gen. When you say former -you don't mean the one who built this system? The 13000k isn't got the slim top I hope? Not sure if its you or dazk that I told about the Peerless Assassin. That former tech gu... no. "Tech wanna be" -he doesn't deserver tech guy status if he thinks a slim top is better than D14/15.... Still since you didn't build it you may want to make sure the fans in the system are even running or not in backwards.

Still since you didn't build it you may want to make sure the fans in the system are even running or not in backwards. The old guy moved away. He didn't know a thing about gaming, no. He worked for the current one though. Or rather they both worked for a friend of my mom's at the timewho retired. In any case I bought the Peerless Assassin on your recommendation. And as I said, people with the same CPU/cooler combo are having way lower temps. So he must have fucked up there. Btw ran the game with the side panels off and same thing. Went up to 97,5C eventually before I quit the game. A little longer and the game would surely have crashed again. So 30-60min intervals seems to be the longest I can go on a hot day before it overheats. Bracket arrival for pushed back to Tuesday. So I won't get it fixed before Wednesday earliest if he's even got time this week. Next week I'm away for 2 weeks on a hiking trip. I'll report back once I have news. Thanks again for your input! |
