One workaround if Always on Top isn't working is to press Win+Tab and drag task manager to a new desktop (at the top). There's also the hotkey Ctrl+Alt+Arrow (Left or Right Arrow) to switch between desktops easily.

You do have to make sure that your RAM is compatible with XMP 2.0 though. When I bought mine, it appeared as though it was, but, when you enable XMP, the RAM rate remains the same. I have to keep it enabled though as when I turned it off I got BSOD's during installations. When I turned it on again, the BSOD's stopped. Not ideal, but, I'll get the right RAM for my next build. You can check manufacturer websites for motherboards and they have lists of RAM that is suitable for their boards.

Win+Shift+S - the quick snipping tool! It copies whatever you select, to be pasted wherever. Win+Arrow Keys - moves your active window, so if you're still not having task manager show up on top, make sure it's selected and you can move it to your other monitor with win+left/right arrow. Ctrl+Mouse Scroll - will zoom/resize whatever you're looking at, desktop icons included.

I'd recomend using MSI Afterburner to set a custom fan curve, even without overclocking. GPUs love to run with slow fan speeds to avoid noise, but if you're in game with a headset there's little reason not to turn the fans up to keep the GPU cooler - it tends to help reduce stuttering and also lets nvidia boost do its thing reliably

Not exactly, window mode will not give black bars on the sides if the in game resolution is smaller than your monitor, like borderless/full screen will. I recommend turning off any resolution scaling in nvidia control panel so you don't get any unwanted stretching filling in those black bars if you have games those don't support your monitor size, or if you just want the game size to match the actual resolution.

Two extra tips: 1- Using RTSS to lock your refresh rate stabilizes your frametimes so much it's is like magic. It's by far better than doing it inside the application or even on Nvidia Preferences. 2- Low Latency and Nvidia Reflex actually helps a lot with stuttering and frametime. The last one costs a little extra energy, but nothing crazy. It's worth trying if you're having stutter on a high end rig.

Hey falcon, I agree with the "dont use third party programs to boost performances" point, however one of the exception is ISLC, it basically makes sure that the amount of video memory you choose is always available for the game, that program help for performances if you keep your game open for few hours. It doesnt do much, but you can notice the difference it makes. in more simple terms, it cleans the "standby list" for anything that use video memory

This is really great. I just want to comment about the litany of issues you can encounter while using and ultra wide monitor. I play a lot of older games and it's always a crap shoot if the game is going to have resolution option. Example: Fallout 4, I had to download extra third party software to force the game into the proper aspect ratio (21:9 I believe) but Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning (the original not the re-release) had the resolution already usable. However that caused other issues with menu text. Just thought I'd mention it.

"Grew up on AoE2" Old here who had to drop out for a bit....this is great. Thank you. This fixed some things I felt I did not like but could not point to. Thank you. Seriously. Also for being real and not condescending and such. This seems to be for me, newcomers, and others alike. Cheers!

Here's another tip regarding a frozen game, if you use the Alt+Win command you can actually add another desktop to your screen, move the frozen game to the new desktop and then move back to your main desktop to operate your task manager or whatever else you wanted to do. *edit* you can see what I'm referring to at any point, use Alt+Win and the screen will display all your currently running apps as individual windows, in the top left you can see your desktop and immediately next to it is a little plus sign to add an additional. Get comfortable with it before you *have* to use it

Fun tip for task manager if you don't have always on top enabled, and run into the issue mentioned in the video. Open task manager, make sure it's the active application, then hit alt, arrow left, arrow down, enter. Hitting alt in pretty much any application will open the menu bar, and you can navigate with arrows and select with enter. So doing hit alt will open the menu, left to get to options, down to open that submenu, then enter since always on top is the first option to enable it.

For those of you playing on 60hz but still curious as to why you can’t up it to 120, 144, make sure your resolution within Nvidia Control panel isn’t set to ULTRA HD. Even though you’re running at default resolution, you can’t change your refresh rate unless disabling HD

You can if you're using displayport 1.4 cable. 4k 144hz , or 2k (1440p) 240hz, are possible.

@FlyByKnight23 I dont know, but I can tell you, let me see if this helps you, I got an Asus vg278 or something, and I was told that HDMI cable in my monitor only reaches 60hz, and if I want to reach 144hz that the monitor is capable, I must use DVI cable. I am not sure but when I bought I started using this DVI cable and it works, I am not sure if there are different types of DVI cable, I dont know why there are different types of DVI cables, but it seems that I have the right one. Anyway I checked the manual and there is a complex chart that you can derive that the conclusion was right, but honestly, they should be more specific with this. Like graphics, or the concrete explanation about how to rech the 144hz "you need this cable, it is called like this and that". Honestly I didnt see real sentences in the manual like "Look, kid, hdmi cable wont lead you to anywhere with this monitor, do yourself a favour and buy a dvi cable."

Simple thing that can help not always but has for me in the past is to install and update your monitor drivers not your graphic drivers which should be updated too but the your monitors drivers are always overlooked and it does help performance especially if you are running a Gsync monitor and manufacturer updates something it can help, it did for me.

Thank you wholeheartedly! 4. Disable Fullscreen Optimization: Who ever thought that was a thing. One of those things I've never ever thought of considering as I thought it was just one of those useless tabs like "Run in 640 x480 mode" You might ask, why am I making a big deal out of this. Passively over the last two plus years, I've been trying to play CoD Modern Warfare 2019's campaign. Every time I play it, I had to start a new game from scratch and play it through all the way until the end, or if I stopped, or if it crashed, then I would get one of their useless errors that no where on the internet had a solution for. That is until now. I clicked that and I was able to play from my last save flawlessly. This is the first time this has ever happened, and the only game I've had an issue playing. Again, thanks so much. I can't believe that worked.
