Now that the 4K monitor is no longer a new player, other computer hardware has not kept up with the development of resolution. It is still not possible to play smooth 4k games with mainstream hardware configurations.
So you may want to go second, and engage in 2k!
Last year, he started with 2k screens, cheaper three-line brands (JD purchases): start with the price of 1200+ in June last year and see if this year's price has dropped to 900+.
The process was quite twists and turns. In the beginning, this screen was written as a package point. Afterwards, a point was offered and the package was canceled. I did not notice this small trick. I noticed a bright spot when I received the goods, and decided to apply for a replacement. However, because it does not contain points (looks like 3 points below are considered normal), it was cruelly rejected.
The second point is that the light leakage of this screen is too serious. Basically, the two corners have leaked the underwear. Then I exchanged goods for reasons of serious leakage, and strived for the argument based on customer service. Finally, I finally agreed to change the goods.
In a few days, I changed one, and I didn't see any bright spots. There was still some light leakage. Fortunately, if there was not a serious one, I would recognize it. Third-line brand or to the character, and purchase need to be cautious oh! Of course I bought before the Dell screen also because of light leakage, online shopping displays need to have a tossing heart ah, do not leak is not true LED screen ah!
At that time, the video card was still GTX970. It was too hard to play games with 2k screen. So this screen is basically a movie or an episode (as an extended screen). Another regular 1080p monitor is used as the main monitor to play games. GTX970 runs 1080p. There is basically no problem with the game.
However, it is always a pity that 2k screens are not playing games, and my heart is tickling. Just released a new video card this year, so the whole platform was replaced with a new one.
Want to play single-card high score screen, GTX1060 and 480 certainly is not enough, GTX1080 price is a bit too high, cost-effective, or GTX1070 affordable point.
The MSI GAMING graphics card used by the previous generation had good quality and temperature control, so the new machine also chose the MSI graphics card. It was no longer the GAMING Red Dragon and was upgraded to a 3 fan "Black Dragon". The official name should be "DUKE". Dark Dragon Lord.
The graphics card itself is relatively simple, only some decorative patterns of carbon fiber, PCB is still relatively wide, the length of heat dissipation also exceeds 31cm, small chassis will not enter it.
The back panel is printed with the “msi†logo, but it is a pity that it has no light. The only light is the “DUKE†logo. The RGB color palette can be achieved through the software, but the light is too small to be addictive.
8+6pin power supply interface, of course, really not use so much.
The output interfaces are 3×DisplayPort, 1×HDMI, and 1×DVI.
Under the following dismantling, pay attention to the next MSI card screw on a fragile paste, of course, said broken can also be guaranteed.
The heat dissipation of three 9cm fans is stopped at a temperature of about 50 degrees.
Heat dissipation: 2 8mm and 1 6mm heat pipes with nickel plating
After that, the graphics card is installed with a fixed middle frame, in addition to the purpose of increasing the firmness, and at the same time, it can play the role of cooling the auxiliary memory and other components.
Powered 8+2 phase power supply, a lot of eyes compared to the public version of 4+1. Memory came with Samsung, the power supply chip is up9511p
Pascal architecture GP104-200 core with 1920 stream processors, 120 texture units and 64 raster units
The back of the video card and polymer capacitors.
Replace the previous i5 platform directly with the i7 platform, as follows:
CPU: i7-6700K (OC: 4.5GHz)
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VIII RANGE
Graphics card: MSI GTX 10708G DUKE
Sound Card: ASUS Xonar Phoebus6
SSD: Apacer AS340 Panther 240G SSD Memory: Shiyan Elite Series DDR4 2400 8GBX2
Chassis: First horse white power supply: Zhenhua LEADEX G 650 power dissipation: Kyushu Fengshen Captain 240 (white) CPU cooler
Shiyan's memory vest is red, I changed the set of silver, so that more color matching points.
Winter is coming, so choose a white chassis, first horse this chassis work much better than before the tank / Titan, a single hair posted alone posted:
The sound card is a legacy product of the past and this time it can be paired with the motherboard of the player country.
SSD has to be sprayed, Apacer AS340, TLC, the last budget, buy 120GB MLC, or 240GB TLC, I still want a bit more capacity, choose the latter.
The host's color is white, black, and slightly silver.
When the machine is installed, the internal space of the chassis is very large and the installation is very easy.
The mascot flashes!
Two cards are installed, one is a sound card, this sound card actually needs 6pin power supply, but also a bit drunk.
On the back of the chassis, the back of the Ark can hold up to three 3.5-inch hard disks. I only installed one. Since the fans are all colorful, the special 6-pin connector can only be connected to the controller. The buttons realize discoloration and speed adjustment.
Light on
If there is no water in front, space is a little wasteful
Some details.
OK, connect a 2k monitor and see if you can hold it?
CPU: Pulling 6700k to 4.5GHz
System: Windows 10
Driver: NVIDIA ForceWare 372.90
Theoretical performance test
3DMARK11
First run minute! It can be seen that the base frequency is 1607MHz, the Boost frequency is 1797MHz, the highest frequency recorded in the 3dmark11 test is 1999.5MHz, and the highest temperature in operation is 65 degrees; the highest power occurring in the test is around 305w.
New 3DMark
The highest frequency recorded in the test was 1974 MHz, which was slightly lower than 3dmark11. The highest temperature in operation was 67 degrees; the highest power that appeared in the test was about 300W.
DX12 Mode Time Spy
The highest temperature in operation is 70 degrees; the highest power that appears in the test is around 280W.
For ease of viewing, make a table.
FURMARK
Now using the FURMARK test, the video card will be down-converted, so the highest power consumption has not run the test high, but the test temperature can still be.
After 10 minutes, the temperature is 69 degrees and the temperature control is also OK. The power consumption of the entire platform is about 280-300w, in fact, a rated 500w power supply can hold live, GTX1070 is not the main power.
Game performance test
The following is a real play, began to test the game
Killer 5, bloody rogue, ancient tomb 9 three games anti-aliasing, picture quality, special effects are all open to the highest, 1080p frames have 89-90, GTX1070 fully qualified, open to 2k screen, the number of frames is 35 The drop of about %, but the number of frames can still be maintained at more than 50, for these 3 games, GTX1070 can be very playful.
The anti-aliasing, picture quality and special effects of the four games of Subway, Wizard 3, Gudao 3, and GAT5 are all open to the highest, 1080p is totally fine , but when it is pulled to 2k, the number of frames is still about 35%, and the number of frames is only 40. Although it can tolerate, it cannot be said to be smooth. If you want to be smooth, you must reduce some anti-aliasing, picture quality or special effects. Try to adjust the settings yourself so that the game can reach 60 frames, as shown in the table below.
==========================
About anti-aliasing
Under the high score screen, I also recommend reducing the anti-aliasing setting, because the appearance of dog teeth is mainly restricted by the resolution, the edge of the object will appear triangular jagged, if the resolution is improved, in fact, there is no need to set a high anti-aliasing.
In particular, SSAA anti-aliasing, the principle is that the entire picture is compressed to a lower resolution image with a higher resolution, the consumption of graphics resources; and like MSAA like only to soften the deformation of the edge Not the entire picture, so the resource consumption is much smaller. If the game settings are SSAA, it is better if the resolution is smaller or it is transferred to MSAA or the like, and the effect will not be much worse.
===========================
Let's take a look at how the game performance of DX12
Singularity ash If anti-aliasing, image quality, and special effects are all maximized, 1080p still holds live, increased to 2k, the number of frames is reduced by about 20%. This game's anti-aliasing is MSAA, and it consumes little resources. It is mainly painted. The quality of the impact is relatively high. From the high-profile to the middle-three, the number of frames will be around 60.
Last test video memory killer Tomb Raider rising , anti-aliasing can be opened up to SSAA 4X, quality can be directly selected very high, will automatically set a variety of special effects, but this time not all options are the highest, there are 2 ~3 options is considered a medium special effect, tried fully open, 2k frame number is only 20 more frames, the memory is more obvious, 8GB memory is not enough!
1080p can also, under 2k properly reduce anti-aliasing, it is much easier to reduce to SMAA, have to say that the rise of the Tomb Raider SSAA too much resources!
Through hard tests, you can generally judge: GTX1070 play 2k or no problem, of course, some games must be reduced anti-aliasing or picture quality, but in fact the results are almost not much worse, 4k can not afford before, let us first happily Play 2k!
In terms of price, I will increase the monitor to around RMB 10,000. If you want to lower your budget, you can also try the E3 platform. You can also further save on the mechanical and electrical distribution. The price drop of 2-3 k should not be a problem.
If you do not mind the fan's temperature control, you can replace the radiator fan with the first horse of the seven-color fan, the overall light pollution effect is better!
Look at the light pollution effect of the whole machine!
