(PC) anything that can be done to smooth the graphics?

[bm11]

I’m currently demoing E6 Connect for Foresight, and am disappointed with the performance. I have a built gaming PC- stable liquid cooled overclocked i9-9900k at 5.0 GHZ with a 2080TI, and still the graphics are not smooth during movement in E6.

I’ve seen a couple of videos online addressing the issue in NVidia control panel, but that seems to be a fix for laptop- the fix I’ve seen is that it defaults to onboard graphics cards rather than the GPU, but that’s not an issue on PC where the graphics are handled by whatever the cable is plugged into.

Any ideas?

The only thing I have left to try is to get an active HDMI cable. I am running an HDMI booster right now but that still doesn’t pass enough signal to get 4K/60 hz on my BenQ LK 953 ST, 30 hz is the limit.

Still, I don’t think it’s that. 30 hz shouldn’t look that bad, most PS4 and XBox one games run at 30 FPS and they don’t have noticeable issues.

Thanks,

Are you sure you are connected into your graphics cards HDMI slot and note your motherboards? I think you note this above, but does not seem like you ensured you are connected into your GPU.

99%. I’m not home right now to triple check, but I did know to do so when I hooked it up, and made sure I hooked it up to the card. It’s pretty easy to get right, the integrated graphics outputs on the motherboard run vertically, the ones on the card are located lower and run horizontally.

If you key dxdiag from the search/run does everything look in order?

30 FPS will look choppy. Do what you need to get 60+FPS. That computer should handle E6C with ease. Buy yourself a home theatre receiver. Make sure that it can handle 4k HDMI. Run all of your inputs through the receiver and then to the projector..... HDMI boosters won't compete with a good receiver.

I went one step further and ordered a fiber optic active HDMI cable. My projector is capable of 60 FPS, so Monday we'll see what the difference looks like there.

In the mean time, I'm going to try running it on my monitor again. My monitor is 175 hz, so...

How many feet of HDMI are you running? If your new cable doesn't solve the issue, you will have to get a receiver. I have a good computer with a RTX 2080 . My computer runs E6c. super smooth as well as the TGC 2019.

I wouldn't know what to look for, but it does show display 1 and display 2 as both being run by "NVIDIA GeForce 2080 Ti".

I'm now 100%. I did flip to the second HDMI just in case though.

I believe your issue could be your computer is using the cpu to render instead of allowing the gpu to handle the task. Have a look at this video from Ron at Gungho it explains how to fix it.

No, that is laptop only. PC uses whatever the cable is hooked up to.

I just tried 1080p at 60hz... smoothness solved. SO, lets hope that the active cable gets me 4K 60hz.

It'd still be a good idea to make sure, in the NVidia control panel, that your card is configured to handle 3D graphics for E6. Follow the instructions here: https://gunghogolf.com/articles/e6-connect-graphics

An RTX 2080 will run E6 buttery-smooth if configured properly.

Very informative video, do you recommend doing the same for TGC2019?

[GungHoGolf]

Yes, but it usually is configured properly out of the gate. For some reason E6 usually isn't. Probably because TGC is built on a more common game physics engine.

What I'm saying, in additional detail, is this- a gaming laptop has integrated graphics as well as a graphics card, but generally only a singular set of outputs. In that case, you need to choose which graphics card handles which application in NVidia control panel as both the integrated graphics as well as the card can be used on the output.

On a desktop, the motherboard has a set of outputs that the integrated card uses, and the graphics card physically has a set of outputs as well. You can't flip in between them, so the drop down box isn't even found in NVidia control panel.

There is a definite possibility that I am missing another key detail here as I am not a super savvy user, but I'm pretty confident in what I detailed above.

Possibly HDMI related, length or cable rating in general not being able to handle the throughput. Easy test, sounds like your going to test a monitor but also get a cable that is 100% rated for the res and speed your looking for hopefully you have one and it is shorter. Test the shorter cable with monitor, check the performance, then do the same with the same cable and projector. That will be an easy way to test that fully.

Problem solved! I bought a Riupro Fiber Optic Active HDMI cable. I did some research and this cable was one of the best tested for the distance I needed. I was bandwidth restricted to 4k 30 hz before, with this cable I can display 4k 60 hz, and it fixed the problem.
