1.4b supports 1080p 60Hz 3D so via custom resolutions it's definitely possible. Not sure if it's officially supported.
Doesn't really matter though.

I know it's temping to hold the plug with your fingers on the wider sides but then you can't get it straight. You have to hold it at the small sides or the cable itself which is a bit awkward.

The XL2411Z doesn't support HDMI 1.4 iirc.

#13
1.4 supports both 3D and 1080p 120Hz, 1.3 supports neither even though it got the same bandwidth.

Also if it were the same picture twice it wouldn't be 3D.

It's not. Just get a new DVI cable and don't fuck it up this time.
DVI is the only way to get 144Hz on the BenQ XL2411Z/T just like on most 1920x1080 144 Hz monitors.

I'll make a partlist tomorrow.

When are you going to build btw?

#1733
In terms of wattage.

Most cases will come with 2 fans and that's enough. At that price point only 1 fan is inexcusable.

You probably just didn't hold the plug straight or fucked up the pins too much on the previous tries.

Wouldn't be surprised if you kill the HDMI cable too.

You have successfully destroyed that cable.

There is no Display Port on that monitor.
If it's the XL2411T then there's no HDMI 1.3 either.

Buy the same cable again, plug it in but this time tighten the screws a bit so it doesn't fall out. Problem solved.

EDIT: Also that monitor should've come with a DVI cable in the box.

1. Yep
2. Yeah, an SSD will probably last longer.
Still depends on how much you want. 250GB SSD are barely more expensive than 120GB so I'd usually say if you're fine with 500GB just get an SSD, otherwise 250GB SSD + HDD as large as you want/need it.
3. Yeah, for TF2 it shouldn't be a problem, other games you might have to drop down the settings a bit but should still be possible to get 120 fps on 1080p.
Yes, different refresh rates are fine.

Is the 5000-5500 ILS budget including or excluding the monitor?

750 Evo is a bit slow, PSU is oversized and why all these fans?

Which shop(s)?

Regarding the questions:
1. You know about clock speeds and cores, right? Higher clock speeds are always better, more cores only work if a program can actually run on that many cores. E.g. TF2 doesn't gain anything beyond 3 cores (and not much beyond 2) because it can only use 2 but then there's obviously still the OS and GPU driver. Rendering/Streaming will use all the cores you throw at it. Due to how CPUs work (I won't go into it) no core is ever perfectly utilized, so what happens on an i7 it reports 8 instead of 4 cores to the OS to get a bit better utilization (most say around 30%). So when streaming it would perform like a 5 or 6 core, but nowhere near an actual 8 core, and for anything that uses 4 or less threads (like 99.9% of all games) it won't make any difference.

2. Depends on how much space you want/need. A 250GB SSD will be cheaper than a 120GB SSD + an HDD.

3. Basically if you get >120 fps G-Sync/FreeSync become useless, if you get <120 fps Lightboost becomes useless.
For Lightboost the XL2411Z is the best options.

1. Check both CPU and GPU temps.
2. Please tell me it's not a laptop.
3. Steam Overlay enabled or disabled?

No, BumFreeze got it figured out. This is an elaborate plot by some sniper mains.

Does that mean it helped at least a little bit?

So you know you have a bad connection, are on WiFi and still wonder why you are lagging?

There is no magical fix for this, you have the worst possible connection and even a simple fix like a cable is too much work for you. There really isn't anything I can do to help you.

If at least your speed isn't completely garbage (>1 Mbit/s) you could try
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_updaterate 66
rate 100000
and cl_interp somewhere above 0.035.

TF2 is multithreaded in the same way that a bicycle with training wheels is not a bicycle anymore because there's more than 2 wheels. You'd still call it a bicycle.

Any engine that supports actual multithreading would be great.

Why are you using 40 for updaterate and cmdrate?

Also what's your "rate" setting?

Either the ping spikes or choke due to low rate is causing some major extrapolation.

Please tell me you aren't on WiFi.

You wouldn't need it, it just would actually help. If you're not streaming you wouldn't notice a difference.
Difference would be about 100$.

The thing is though I'm not sure if the 1080 is going to happen with Swedish prices. Since the 1070 is 200$ cheaper if we have to drop down to that the i7 might fit within the budget anyway.

Don't PM me after half a day and please stop recommending that.

Chances are that:
- timezones are a thing
- weekends are a thing
so maybe I just haven't seen the thread yet or just didn't have time yet.

If it's been 2 or 3 days and I'm not on a vacation, sure, but have a little patience before that.

Since you say your ping and fps are fine I'd like to see a screenshot with net_graph 4 of when you lag.
