Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Happy to see that the responses to this question were all reasonable. I was worried. I worked with an engineering manager a decade ago that basically got this concept wrong and holy shit did I lose respect for him. Glad that didn't happen with this forum.
To stay on topic .... I just hope it...
Will upgrade from 55" C9 just to get BFI. The 48" size also means that I can push my desk a little closer to the wall that my "monitor" will be mounted on.
So ... the more apt comparison is 2 graphics cards based on the same chip. Their components are largely the same but with slightly different i/o.
I applaud you for spending $4k to play video games though. When I bought my C9 the AW55 wasn't out yet and I wasn't convinced it was going to...
I have the exact same setup but with a narrower desk and a SFF case. Curious how you got VRR working already? The latest C9 firmware update isn't available yet in my region (Canada) unless I mess around with a USB stick upgrade. Once it is available for download is it just a matter of running...
I'm playing Apex Legends at 1440p@120Hz with a C9 and 2080ti. Looks great to me. I sit about 3.5-4ft back. Looking forward to the LG firmware update that enables VRR. I'll upgrade to a HDMI 2.1 GPU when they come out but for now this is pretty close to the best setup possible imo.
With the latest announcements from nVidia/LG it looks like VRR over HDMI is a go. Super bad news for this $4k Alienware monitor ... it's off to the iceflow.
Couldn't wait. Just ordered LG 55" C9 OLED. Arrives tomorrow. I currently have a 980ti so I wouldn't be able to use the DP 1.4 interface on this Alienware anyway. I'm planning to run 1440p@120Hz using HDMI 2.0 for now. Will upgrade video card once HDMI 2.1 cards come out.
Really looking...
