Exclamation Asus Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor & NTFS BSOD

Ehlo peepohz,


So I installed the Swift onto my system and been playing with it the last few days.
I have to say gaming at 144mhz is a whole new world

G-sync felt funky so I have it disabled. Seemed like input would carry a sort of momentum in-game. E.g. continuing to move to the left after input key was released.



HERE is the issue I've run into. I'm getting NTFS bsod's whenever gaming at 144mhz. On subsequent restart one of my disks in my Raid 0 array has failed. Power down completely and disk returns and all is well. I can game at 60mhz and 120mhz without bsod. Anyone hear/know of any possible explanation or culprits? I'm leaning towards some voltage out of spec or simply that one disk is pooped out already. This raid system is quite ancient (prolly 2007ish)

That is a bummer bro,

Thinking the same, one of the drives is giving up the ghost

This day and age all one really need is one of these

Default Raid 0 recovery failed drive areca

So, while I'm no storage expert by far, I do tinker a bit.

Options:
1) figure out to do a hot spare swap on the offending drive- Eh!
2) remove offending drive from areca raid card then clone using software like IFD (image for dos). Replace fresh drive with cloned image. Eh! drive was beyond beyond by this point.
3) Restore saved backup image to new Raid array set created after replacing offending drive. Bingo! This only works if you immediately create an image of your array as soon as a drive starts acting wonky.

That brings me back to life on this dated Areca/HDD Raid setup.


Not near ssd setups but its near original performance which works for me daily.

If I were you and there was a way, I'd give up the RAID setup. A single ssd would rock that RAID setup these days bud. Still, do you think this will solve the 144mhz issue you have?

Yah, been gaming hardline and bf4 at 144mhz nicely, no crashing. I do get SSD envy tho. Switched to a 128k stripe on the raid card just to see.

Been putting a parts list together for a new gamer beast but I'm thinking I don't really NEED a beast machine for todays game. Still, drewl drewl drewl!

Even the M2 is'nt really necessary but its shwweeet. I dunno, let u kno wut i settle with.

Just put one of those 850's I linked in a client build.

Rockin 500+ reads with no RAID Hassles

I have a 941 M.2 in my garage mITX PC that on a PCIe2x rocks 700 + reads

if you do go new set up get one with an ultra PCIe 4x and that that 941 will do over a 1000+ reads

With a 128 MB Samsung 941 M.2 at 4x for the OS and some 850's for storage you will be blown away at the speed , possibly a huge spinner for Bone Yard duties

yea that would scream, for sure. I don't think that is nessacary though. I think your setup is fine for gaming. All you really need to do is update your storage.

I heard that BF Hardline is lame. True or not in your opinion?


Witchie...no more BF4 bud??

been spending all my free time benching these days

Made it to 2nd in the US in the Extreme league.

Can't hang with those factory guys in the pro league
I simply do not have the budget to bin 1K 5960x chips and top end GPU's

Blew up my 780 Ti KPE last night ....

Also wasted my 6 Ghz 4770K

May have some time to jump on now LOL , you guys still on there ?

Always have a lot of fun playing with you and Kal

@ Kal, if you are looking at x99 take a peak at the x99 OC Formula by AsRock

I have one and it will take you where ever you want to go bro

Also I can get the chip for $ 955.00 at MC and send it to you

Thx Witchy, I want my kids to grow up and be you.

Nah, I was talkin to Dukester in BF4, plus I got all itchy and upped the overclock on this 2600k to 4800mhz and its gaming nice, and I think I'm good here cept the upgrade to storage. Gonna try n push up to the original 5ghz clock I had when I first put it together, maybe the HDD was bad this whole time.

I hope one of those manuf's drop you some lovin support soon buddy, you definitely deserve it.


@Duke, I dunno, try downloading it and check out the upgrades to the interface. Theres also a EULA attached that says "NO JACKTARDS ALLOWED", lol, it requires no foul language and behavior as TOS, amongst other things. It does appear they've put a whole heckuvalot of effort into it tho. I haven't played enough to decide. Some cop buddies are droolin over it tho.
