    2080ti 2080 Ownership Club

    Replaced my Vega FE with an Asus Turbo 2080ti (thanks to catching an $800 eBay listing) and it has Samsung memory, so I think I really lucked out. Definitely feeling excited to pick up Ryzen 3700X (or a 3600 if reviews reveal it's the $/perf hero I think it might be) and complete my upgrade...

    Wow, a Vega Frontier Edition for $700 (Black Friday)

    I just hadn't seen that. And I don't understand why the drivers installed don't "see" the updated drivers that have since come out... but oh well. I'll give 18.6 a try soon and hope for Freesync to actually work for me...

    Wow, a Vega Frontier Edition for $700 (Black Friday)

    My monitor is supposed to be cleared for 80-100Hz Freesync, but even back at that range I get blanking, so I'm just turning off Freesync for now and enjoying the 60+Hz that I wanted from the monitor in the first place. Maybe I can get something to work with new drivers down the road, but I am...

    Wow, a Vega Frontier Edition for $700 (Black Friday)

    So far so okay with my Vega FE. My only issue is tied to Freesync which is causing blanking in games. I suspect this is tied to my monitor, which I've used CRU to increase the Freesync range to 40-100Hz and maybe that's just not viable. If anyone has some suggestions, I hope to do more...

    AMD Ryzen 7 2700X - $289 @ Ebay

    Same, but with my ol' trusty 3770K.

    35" Monoprice Zero-G 31005 Curved 3440x1440 FreeSync2 100hz

    This was gonna be my choice until a Viotek came along under $400 that I couldn't say no to. No regrets so far, but this one will stay on my radar should anything go wrong.

    Wow, a Vega Frontier Edition for $700 (Black Friday)

    Curious to know how things are going with 18.Q2 drivers and if anyone is using more recent game driver with their FE. I've got one showing up next week...

    Predator X34 Owner's Club & Discussion.

    I would contact Acer immediately just to see if they can diagnose the source of the sound easily, but especially if anything goes wrong, best to be in front of the issue with the company to try and get warranty service or replacement.

    Dream Monitor

    Dude... you kinda were. And then followed it up with being condescending. It's a fantasy thread. There's nothing to argue about here unless you create something.

    Asus 4k @ 144hz at Computex

    This thread needs more Vega.

    Triple Monitor Setup for programming. Suggestions?

    What you're describing sounds like it would be best solved with 1 1440x900 on left, 1 2560x1440 in center, and 1 more 1440x900 on right. The side monitors are flipped to vertical to keep things 1440 all the way across. I can't point you to brands, but would this resolution fit your theoretical...

    How common are multiple monitors?

    I went Ultrawide, but already had a compatible 2560x1440, and because they're just so reasonably priced, I added another to extend out to 8000 pixels across my setup. Only game on the 3440, but I do enjoy having lots of real estate for various projects (editing, writing, etc.).

    Dell UP3017Q - 4K 120HZ Oled 30"

    I'm going to say you shouldn't buy it.

    Dell UP3017Q - 4K 120HZ Oled 30"

    Does anyone think we'll actually see a proper review before these hit the street? Not that I would drop this kind of money without seeing ample reviews, but Dell probably already has plenty of business client orders for this thing just waiting, so they might push it out regardless of any flaws...

    Dell UP3017Q - 4K 120HZ Oled 30"

    Looking at the pricing on the 2016 LG OLED TVs I'm not sure I could justify a purchase of one of those and one of these this year. Going to be tough to pick one... as I'm sure it will spoil me for the other. I'm pretty sure once I go OLED, I won't be able to tolerate much else... Maybe Black...
