Damn nice monitor setup! shame about the keyboard.
I dont care about the keyboard, it's been fun, but I'm no musician. I've got some ideas though...
So really weird issue I had with the new monitor, I think it's partly due to the complexity of my dual PC set up, but also just how sometimes troubleshooting IT problems comes down to something so basic.
My GTX1080 graphics card, I have it set to output my new monitor via display port, my second monitor via mini display port, and then to the elgato capture card on my second PC via HDMI. I then set the HDMI to mirror the display port output. When doing this, it was capping me at 60FPS. I felt it had to do with the elgato because that's limited to capturing at 60FPS. Using COD as my example, the settings all said it was at 144Hz and unlimited FPS... I messed with the settings for like an hour in the nvidia control panel and googled this and couldn't find out the fix. Turned out I just needed to unplug and reconnect the HDMI to my graphics card.
I wish I tried that first especially since I had a feeling it had to do with mirroring to the elgato.
Anyway, now on max settings of COD, I'm getting like 80-100FPS at 2k resolution with freesync on and it looks and feels AMAZING. So much clearer at 2k and so much smoother with freesync and 144hz. It's a nice upgrade for me.
