Hi my name is Chris and this is Battle(non)sense
Gaming products are all about maximizing your experience by providing better sound,
lower input lag as well as clear, tear-free and silky-smooth images.
This is why we have surround sound gaming headsets, gaming mice with a polling rate
of 1000Hz, gaming monitors with refresh rates of up to 240Hz as well as CPUs and GPUs powerful
enough to play games at very high frame rates.
For gaming monitors 144Hz has been the standard for the past few years, and no company which
has a reputation to lose, will try to sell you a 60Hz 'Gaming' monitor.
But the situation is still very different for gaming laptops, where even very powerful
machines capable of running very demanding games at high frame rates, still come with
a 60Hz display.
But during the last 2 years there has been some progress, as more gaming laptops hit
the market which supported 120Hz – which I believe is the absolute minimum if you want
to call that machine a GAMING laptop, especially when you decide to put a GTX 1080 in it.
So while 120Hz are nice to have, more is always better.
And it seems like ASUS agrees on that, as they now have a gaming laptop which comes
with a 144Hz IPS panel and G-Sync support for silky smooth, tear-free images.
But what is the difference between a 60Hz and a 144Hz panel.
At a refresh rate of 60Hz the panel will show you a new image every 16.66ms
You can still run games at higher frame rates like 144FPS, which does slightly decrease
the input lag as the game processes your input earlier then.
However the panel can't display those additional frames.
To benefit from such high frame rates you need one that uses a refresh rate of 144Hz,
where you then get to see a new frame every 6.94ms
The ASUS G703 has such a 144Hz panel.
To push it to its limits it also comes with a core i7 7-series CPU and a GTX 1080.
However if you go out and buy one, then you should double check the specifications of
the device, as there is also a version that features a 4k display which does not support
144Hz, at least as far as I am aware of.
Full disclosure, ASUS sent me a demo unit of this laptop to do the review.
But at the time that you are watching this video it is already on its way back to them.
I do not get sponsored by ASUS nor did I get paid to make this video.
So, with that out of the way, lets talk about the impact that this 144Hz panel has on your experience.
To test the responsiveness or button to pixel delay, I use a high-speed camera and a gaming
mouse which has an LED connected directly to the switch of the left mouse button.
Inside the game I then map the move left action to the left mouse button, and I use my high-speed
camera to record what happens when I press the left mouse button.
Inside the high speed footage, I then look for the frame where the LED lights up, and
then I count the frames until I see the action triggered by that input, which allows me to
calculate the delay between the button and the pixel.
So, with the panel running at 60Hz, the frame rate locked at 60FPS and with v-sync as well
as g-sync disabled, I measured an average button to pixel delay of 22.39ms
Then with the in-game FPS limiter set to 300 and v-sync enabled, which locks the frame
rate at 60FPS, I measured an average button to pixel delay of 76.94ms
This is why no one wants to use v-sync, especially on a 60Hz display.
Then with the same tests repeated at 144HZ, you can see how that higher refresh rate not
only lowers the average input lag, but also reduces the difference between the longest
and shortest delays, which means that the input lag becomes more consistent.
as long as you play at a stable frame rate that is.
Then I did 2 tests where I had G-Sync enabled.
In the first I locked the frame rate at 60FPS, which provided results that were nearly identical
to those that I got in my 60FPS test at 60Hz.
In the 2nd one I locked the frame rate at 140, to avoid that a small FPS spike pushes
me out of the G-Sync range.
And again, the input lag was also nearly identical with what I measured in the test where the
game ran at 144FPS and 144Hz.
So, G-Sync does not only eliminate tearing at any frame rate between 30 to 144FPS,
it also does that without increasing the input lag.
While v-sync locks your frame rate at the displays refresh rate and causes a lot more
input lag.
However, always make sure that your frame rate stays below the displays refresh rate,
especially when you also have v-sync enabled as otherwise you might suffer from the full
v-sync delay as you can see here in the results from this test, where I changed the FPS cap
to 300 inside of Overwatch, while I had G-Sync and v-sync enabled.
If you want to cap your frame rate in games that do not come with a FPS limiter, then
I highly recommend RTSS, which compared to build in FPS limiter only increases the input lag
by one frame.
You can find a link to that software in the description down below.
Now how does the IPS panel in this laptop stack up to a TN panel of a gaming monitor.
To test that I connected my ASUS PG248Q monitor to the laptop, and as you can see here,
you really don't have to worry that the IPS panel causes more input lag than a TN panel,
while it does definitely provide much better colors.
But a higher display refresh rate does not only reduce the input lag, it also makes games
look and feel smoother as you can see here in these 2 examples.
So I've been using the G703 for the last 2 weeks, and I've got to say that this is truly
a 'Gaming Laptop', as it does not only have the power to run games at high frame rates,
it also has a display that lets you see and feel the effects that playing games at a high
frame rate has on your experience.
The only complaint that I have is that it doesn't show me the currently active display
refresh rate, like gaming monitors are able to, which is a very nice feature as that allows
you to monitor if G-Sync is active and if your frame rate is inside the G-Sync window.
I hope that such can be added in the future.
Another thing is the price as the G703 is very expensive as you can surely imagine.
But I hope that ASUS and other companies will continue to push for even higher refresh rates,
in future high-end gaming laptops, so that 120 and 144Hz will eventually also become
an affordable standard for gaming laptops as they are for gaming monitors.
So that's all that I've got for you today.
I hope that you enjoyed this button to pixel delay analysis of the ASUS G703, and if
you enjoy my videos then it would be great if you could support me on Patreon, as YouTubes
ad revenue is sadly not enough anymore to run a niche channel like mine.
Without the awesome support that I get from my patrons, Battle(non)sense would not exists anymore.
You can find a link to my patreon in the description down below, where you will also find links

to see you next time!
Until then, have a nice day and take care,

Why am I Doing This to Myself? - Getting Over It - Duration: 23:31.
hi everybody, I'm Amanda the G
and welcome to my demise
also known as Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
(sigh) I don't know why I'm doing this to myself
I am doing this with the track pad
that could either be a BRILLIANT decision
or the STUPIDEST decision ever made
but I've seen a lot of people play this
with a mouse
and you need like a lot of room
with the mouse
and everybody gets frustrated
so maybe the track pad is the way to go
if you do not know this game
this is you
you're a dude
in a cauldron
with a sledge hammer
your controls
arrrreeee to move the mouse
and that's like legit it
that's all you have
you have this
that little circle
and it has
frikin spp-
aw it has obnoxiousness
and torture
and I don't think the track pad was a good idea
but we're gonna try it anyway
ok
and there's water in your cauldron
oohh wooohh come on
come on, here
here, you wanna go here
down
come on dude
cooommmee on
track pad was a bad choice
shut up, why are you grunting?
come on
coooooommmeee on
there you go
put yourself down
yep
and then you get
tree limb
eh no, no, no, I want you to, yeah there you go
get that limb
come on
ceemmaaa
ceeemmaa
ceema, no cemmma dis
neeehhh NO DON'T DO THAT!
do, NO, do
NOOO
yeah I know dude
what?!
track pad was a very bad idea
come on
put yourself down
put yourself down
ok, up
around
here we go, around
and
get
this
one, yep, get it
alright
go, no, go the other way
get it
get it
GET THAT, NO
NO!
DO WHAT I WANT- oh god, track pad was a very bad choice
ok hang on
let's go out
and this way?
out
there we go!
come on!
come on
track pad might have been a very bad choice
I need a bigger track pad
and put yourself down
nope, nope, NO
this way
this way
this way- NOOOO
no
I'm not gonna get mad at this game
I'm leaning (laughing) I'm starting to lean to like help this guy
no
I wanna use like more fingers on the track pad, but that's probably a bad idea
come on
NOOOO NO!
NO!
NOOOOO!
I DIDN'T DO THAT
NO!
NO
NO
no
no
up and AROUND
THERE
(laughing) I just flung it
that's, that's the extent of what we're doing here
catch it
catch it
uhh
get there, get it
yeah
and now-
get it
yeah just grunt at it dude
you know, honestly, in the real world, grunting would work, but we're not in the real world
because we're in a cauldron
nobody in- ok hang on a minute
maybe you need to humpf off of this thing
no
no, not that way
maybe not
can you get here?
get on the top
get on the TOP
god it has mouse acceleration
which is AWFUL
come on
ok
oh you were almost there
no, no, nooo
no
here
catch
that- I don't know why I'm doing this to myself by the way, cause this
if you haven't seen it
this is a rage game
and everybody hates it
come on
catch- no, no
here, you know what, you're gonna go
nope, not there
yoo- naaahhh
you're gonna go there
and then
fling yourself over- no
this- NO
thi-
not what I want!
I want
I want there to be more controls and there just aren't
get up and over
get up and over you jackass!
now I'm like legit stuck
what do you, what do you, what?
I'm stuck
ok, ok, ok
nope, nope, nope, that's what I wanted
now put yourself down
ok
now take this
get up here
like a good little merman
ok, ok, ok
ok teeter totter merman
BOINK
NO!
NO! (laughing)
DAMN YOU
ok
ok
maybe I should get a mouse
ok, ehhh
ceemmaaa
ceeeeeeemmmaa
no, no, ye, NO
ceeeeeemmmmaa
and, and
come back
come back to me!
you fucker
you suck so much
ok
there's water that keeps coming out of this
and I really wonder if this dude IS a merman
is he just a merman who got stuck
in
the water
in a cauldron
because somebody threw it out in the ocean
because people are assholes
moral of this story - don't throw shit out into the ocean
cause then you get angry mermen
with sledge hammers
go away from it
go here
and now swing your butt up
swing it up, no, swing it up
and then come down
NO
no
no, these controls suck!
NO WHY AM I DOING THIS ON A TRACK PAD?!
NO!
no
NO!
NOOOO!
YES!
YES!!
ok!
past the fucking tree!
if you're wondering, that's the easy part
come on
lower yourself
NO
no
no
no
this way
yeah!
and get- get it
come on
ceemmmaa
no, no, ceemma
ceema- NOOOO
I don't know how to make it let you-
NOOOO!
I don't know how to make it let go
and I know I said I wasn't gonna get angry
but clearly I'm going to get angry at this fucking game
because everyone gets angry at this game
ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok
you just
need
no
no
not to do that
we need to not do that
we need to not be a jackass cauldron boy
I know
I know
I know you're a merman and I know you're very upset
that people threw shit into the ocean
and that's how you got here
alright come on
ceema
nope, no, no, no, commmmaa
down
down
doooowwwnnn
down, put your butt down, I can't make it put it down
come on
commmmaa
I know dude
I really want you to go down
nope
nope
nope
yeahh there you go, there you go!
now get your hammer up there
hammer, hammer
sledge HAMMER
go- no, go
you know what, you're a dick
aahh
ok, ok, ok
ok, oh
catch it
and then
go around
yeah there you go!
there ya go ya merman
alright
alright come on
come on
come on
come on
YES!
ok now we've made it to the ACTUAL mountain!
I don't know why
but I wanna name this merman Gary
so here you go
I've never known a Gary that I liked
so
let's name him Gary
not saying that there's anything inherently wrong
with the name Gary, or that I wouldn't like a Gary
yeah I know shut up
yeah well shut your face
ok
that's not gonna work, come on dude
go back in
do I haveta push off?
here we go
ok, ok
ok, so I turned off music in this game, by the way, because there's copyrighted music in it
so I don't wanna play that game
so music is off
but in case you're wondering, the narrator just trolls you because he's a giant fucking shit tard
with a beautiful voice
I'm not frustrated at all
I'm actually very proud of myself right now
look at me
on the farkin mountain
ok, get, get, lower
looowwer
lower, around
around, come on
come on cauldron boy, come on Ga-, come on Gary, come on GARY!
ok
ok
NO
NO!
come on, come on, come on!
ok hang on
yeah, I know, you loved Sexy Hiking so much
that you wanted to make yourself a little sexy hiker
annnndd this is him
this is Gary
this is your creation
this is what you have done to us!
NOOOOO!
NOOO!
damnit I was so proud of myself for gettin' up the farkin mountain and then this happened
ok
let's start again
I'm not mad
Gary and I are having a great time
I love Gary the merman
and I'm not angry at him
or the dude who made this game
or the world
or everything under the sun- how did I get up here the last time?
I don't remember
I think I have to get a little-
little bit
over
this way
nope, nope, nope, not that much, not that much
uuuhh I hate mouse acceleration so much!
ok, ok, ok, ok, ok
no!
nope
NOT what I wanted to do
definitely not
come on Gary!
we've been down this road before
we've done it before
we're probably gonna have to do it 300 million more times
it's ok
because this game is designed to fuck us
damnit
but we're not upset
at all
we are not upset
NO!
we are going to handle this
everything
is AWESOME
(singing badly) everything is cool when you're part of a team, Gary the merman and I are a team
(singing badly) and we're living a dream
(whispering) yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
there you go
no, no
NO GARY!
NO!
BAD GARY!
BAD MERMAN
fuck this game
I'm not mad!
I'm just disappointed
come on
come on
ok, you know what?
let's
nope, not, no
no
here we- no
NO!
not what I wanted to do!
fucking mouse acceleration can go suck it's frikin cock
ok
I'm not mad
I'm not saying inappropriate things
everything
is beautiful
life is wonderful
and I so much love doing this
ok, come on, can you raise-? You should be able to raise your arms up more! You need a therapist!
(sing-song) it's a beautiful day
(singing) in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, would you be mine, could you be mine
(singing) won't you be my neighbor
everything is beautiful, there are no problems in our world
and everything is wonderful and we're just using
our little hammer
with Gary the merman
who's being a fuck tard
and not doing what I want
GARY!
THE FUCKING MERMAN, you SUCK
wha- how was I able to do this so easy before?
(whispering) ok, ok, it's ok
hey look Gary, we're back by the house
this is where we were
ok Gary man?
oooohh k can you get up on that rock?
can you be a good cauldron boy?
yeah that's my good merman!
that's my good merman
ok you collect there
NO!
NOOOOOOOOOO!
NOOOOOO!
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO IT DID-! NO! NO! NO!
NO I REFUSE to believe that happened!
you picked a stupid instrument, Gary
let's be honest
if you were going to climb up
a fucking mountain
in your cauldron, which you're mad about because somebody polluted the ocean
and that's the ocean there
that's the ocean on the bottom
and somebody polluted it
and you're like 'fuck you asshole humans, you polluted our ocean
and I'm a merman, and I'm stuck in this damn thing' and everybody's like 'yeah, I know Gary, that sucks balls'
'we're sorry we polluted the ocean'
and I know you want a sledge hammer to smash the shit out of the people that you find
because clearly, they polluted the ocean so you must kill them
in a terrible way
to prove your point
and I get it Gar
ok?
but maybe you should use a pick axe
and then
you can still kill them
with a pick axe
a pick axe to the brain will kill a person
just as much
as
a sledge hammer to the brain will
and then you wouldn't have to make it up your mountain
with your sledge hammer
see
Gary
it's- it's the planning that you didn't do
I know you got MAD
when you got your tail
up, all up in that cauldron
and you're like
damnit
my ocean buddies
are all up in their cauldrons
now
because humans put the cauldrons in the water
and a whole bunch of other shit and they're killin' everybody in the ocean
you're super mad
and I get it
I really do
I really get it Gary
nope, nope
nope
no
there we go
and you're really mad at everybody, and you wanna kill them
and I get it, I really- I get it
and I
sympathize with your plight, Gary, but I think you picked the wrong way of getting there
ok
ok?
you probably should've found someone to help you out of the cauldron
annd given you a pick axe
probably should've gotten those two things
and then
you'd be able to climb up this a lot easier
than you are
cause see this is all the other shit the humans just put into the frikin water
because humans suck balls
no, no
ok
ok? ok. ok
ok
so moral of this story
is don't put shit in the ocean
or you'll get a merman in a cauldron
to chase after you with a sledge hammer
and kill you
because he hates you
putting shit in the ocean
AHHHH
YES!
YES!
YES!
OOOHHH YEAH
oh yeah look at that!
fuck yeah!
yeeeaaahahhhh
yeahhhhhhhh
yeah get over dat hill!
yes!
yes!
yes!
YES!
YES!!
OOOHHH YEAH! OOOOHH YEAH!
that felt really good
oh yeah
come on Gary
YO GARY!
(singing) I'm Gary Coleman from TV's Different Strokes, made a lot of money that got stolen by my folks
(singing) and now I'm here and I'm the butt of everyone's jokes, but I'm here, the superintendent on Avenue Q
ok
uh uh
ok Gary
yep, I know
you and your water
ok
maybe we need to harumph it over- nope, not that way
this way
nope, nope
nope, nope, not what I wanna do
ok
NO!
no Gary
calm
shut your face
stop going eeehhhhttt
ok Gary man?
NO!
don't you dare you fucker
this game is not going to break me
this gaaaaammmee is not going to break me
that's what I say
ok
ok
NO!
no, no, no!
fuck you
fuck- no, no
nope, no Gary
be calm
I'm gonna make you go booom fffphhf
like that
but not that way
NO!
NO
DON'T YOU DARE
NO!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
CALM YOUR TITS!
NO! no Gary
no Gary, no, no, no!
nope!
nope
nope
NO!
NOT WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO! NO! NO NO NO!
NO NO NO
NO NO NO, NO NO NO
no no no, no no no no no no no
not happening!
no no no, NO
NO
no
no
this way
here
and HWAH!
NO!
NO
NO
fucking
yeah, yeah, no
nah
yeah, yeah!
YES!
yes, yes, yes, yes
NO!
no, no, no, no
NO!

(near crying) NO THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN
NO
get it!
NO NO NO NO NOPE NOPE NOPE
we're just gonna flail for a second, I'm just gonna fucking flail
and go back to the beginning
fucking a
OK
OK
you know what?!
you know what?
NOPE
you know what, you know what, Gary needs to take a fucking nap!
maybe the track pad is a bad idea
I don't know
I don't know if I'm gonna keep playing this game or not
but there's a shit ton more to that hill
and I'm back at the goddamn bottom because life sucks
and that's what this proves
if you liked this video, click the like button
and subscribe to my channel, I make a new video every Tuesday and Friday
thank you guys so much for watching
MWAH!
remember not to throw shit in the ocean
or you end up with Gary the merman
in a cauldron
chasing after you with a sledge hammer

AMAZON AFFILIATE CASE STUDY SITE: $100/month to $15k/month in ONE YEAR - Duration: 7:02.
In this video I'll cover the, 4-step process that I implemented to increase the value for
my niche site by $118,800.
Let me tell you about the results first.
The value of the site went from about $1,200 in Dec 2015 to about $120,000 one year later,
assuming a 25x monthly multiple valuation.
I did all of this part-time, outsourced most everything but the strategy, and ranked in
Google through White Hat Content marketing.
And the investment was $4,000 over 5 months.
So it's a chunk of change, YES, but clearly a good ROI.
Let's check it out now.
In Jan 2016 the site made $100 to almost $15000 in December.
And if you want to get your hands on my content templates, just head over to nichesiteproject.com/scale,
then I'll email them to you.
$100 per month was fine, but I knew the site had more potential.
I know a lot of people are stuck at this point - making a $100+ per month but can't figure
out how to grow.
Leave a comment if that describes you - and you can share about your current income.
It's nice to make couple hundred per month, but it's not quit your job kinda money.
So you can imagine what it was like when the revenue started creeping up.
It was like I cracked the secret code.
After a couple years of just doing okay, I started figuring it out and it was through
discovering the supply and demand of keywords.
That's the Keyword Golden Ratio.
The ratio is this…
The number of Google results that have the keyword phrase in the title divided by the
local monthly search volume, where the LMS is less than 250.
If the KGR is less than 0.25, then you should rank in the top 100 when your page is indexed.
You should still rank in the top 250 when the KGR is between 0.25 and 1.
And it should be pretty fast.
I published a bunch of content – a staggering amount – over 200 new posts.
That cost some money since I outsourced 99.9% of it.
The ballpark amount is $4,000 where $3,200 was the content and $800 was for editing and
content management.
Most all of the content gets some traffic and I didn't build links to the 200+ new
articles.
Adding all that content wasn't easy, and I needed a lot of help.
If you want to learn about how I published all that content and get access to the templates,
be sure to check out the link below.
Here's the high level steps, and I'll go into details in a min.
Find a bunch of KGR terms.
Hire 2-3 writers to help.
Get a content manager.
Step 4 is complicated so let me come back to that at the end.
Here are the 4 steps: Step 1.
Find a bunch of KGR terms.
I aimed for 200 which was arbitrary.
But I know it was a stretch and I learn something along the way.
Before the KGR, the site consisted of product reviews that targeted keywords that had search
volumes of 2,000, up to about 10,000, searches per month.
The KGR targets keywords that have a lower search volume and significantly less competition.
It's data driven, not intuition.
Using the KGR in December of 2015, I published about 20 articles that averaged about 1,000
words each.
The articles targeted a specific keyword – deliberately – and after a few weeks almost all the articles
were receiving 1 – 2 visitors per day.
After a couple months, 1 – 2 of the articles were getting about 10-20 visitors per day.
That's a big win if you consider that some of those terms were reported by the Google
Keyword Planner as getting 0 searches per month.
That's right.
Zero.
I assume that some or most of the visitors were actually searching for an obscure long
tail keyword.
The takeaway is that keyword research is very important and you can't believe the Google
Keyword Planner or any keyword research tool at face value.
Step 2.
Hire 2-3 writers to help.
I'm a slow writer!
And other people are better at it.
I'm good at hiring people and giving them instructions.
So I slowly hired people from upwork.
Here is what my job posting looks like...you can see it's descriptive and clear which
is a differentiator on Upwork.
Most people have bad job postings.
I pay about $15 per 1000 words.
Step 3.
Get a content manager.
Again, I'm bad at words, writing, grammar!
Just terrible.
I take a long time to edit, I'm a slow typer, and a perfectionist.
Bad qualities if you're going for speed and quantity.
I promoted a good writer of mine and paid her $10 per hr.
If you're thinking that I overpaid, remember this: I'm not trying to get the cheapest
price, I'm trying to get the best ROI.
The best value.
So here's what I realized: I'm the bottleneck.
My writers were fast and I had a google folder full of content waiting for me.
It took me 1-2 hrs to draft the content in WP.
So I hired someone to do all that for me, like edit the content, add images, add internal
links, add external links, embed videos, and so on.
Then, it took me about 3 mins to review and hit publish.
Step 4.
This isn't actually a step but it's even more important.
You need to take your time and grow slow.
Hire one writer at a time.
Build your team slowly and make sure each member knows what to do.
If you add 5 writers all at once, you'll be overwhelmed with questions.
Imagine if each person asks 1 question per day 4 days a week.
That's at least 40 emails your receiving or sending, and it's probably a lot more
than that.
So here's the recap: Find a bunch of KGR terms.
Hire 2-3 writers to help.
Get a content manager.
Be patient and take your time.
