It would also explain why they haven't lowered it to the much more palatable $500 which is the price point it should be at to be anywhere near successful. Too bad, I was really rooting for them.
It's uncanny how they knew where to price it and when to release vis-a-vis performance vs. Fury X. But of course they can anticipate the approximate vital stats of AMD's release. It may well have been that AMD wanted to charge the rumored $750-850 for the Fury X and on the 980Ti's release...
You know how nVidia knew exactly how to position the 980ti? Because they have made a 4GB HBM card in house and tested the thing and knew the 980ti would best it by this amount. And they also could see the 4k writing on the wall.
Like the review says this card doesn't make sense strategically...
So I ordered and received a 24 AWG DisplayPort 1.2 to DP cable ($60.00 from DVIGear) and that has solved the dropped picture and image artifacts that plagued this monitor when set to 4096 x 2160 and 60Hz. I calibrated with my i1 display pro (the factory calibration was good but I feel the colors...
I can imagine the problems you've had with a cord that long. I dug through my cables and found a thicker (probably 26 awg) cable I had. Now I'm experiencing much less artifact and no dropped picture. Al though there is still ever so slight image artifacts coming through. So yeah, you are...
So you other owners are getting 4096 x 2160 @ 60hz? When I run at that res and refresh rate I have terrible artifacts in-between the screen going black randomly. I've used a few different cables and tested on x2 780 Ti's in SLI and a Radeon 295x2. With the thicker mini-DP to DP cable that came...
