I remember when people kept on saying that the 4090 will launch at >$2000 MSRP and it actually ended up at $1599 MSRP. We'll see how the MSRP goes with the 5090. I'm guessing it won't even reach $2K.
At home, I watch HDR and DV content on my 48" LG C1 600nit OLED (calibrated with Calman for LG Home). When I'm on the go, I watch HDR and DV content on my MacBook Pro 14" 1600nit miniLED and the latter is very good. I also don't notice blooming. I can go back and forth between these displays...
No sense in doing dual-gpu in this day and age where SLI and crossfire support have been basically abandoned because devs aren't willing to pick up the slack left by the driver teams after moving to DX12/Vulkan.
14900K and Asus Z790 ProArt. I guess I just wanted to save a few bucks so I settled for those speeds. I pretty much only game on this PC so ram speeds don't really matter much from what I've read. As long as the DDR5 is at least 10ns, I'm good.
I got a 48GB (2x24GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400MT/s CL36 kit last month. It's stable at XMP II but unfortunately, it came with Micron/SpecTek chips. I guess that explains the rather loose 36-48-48-104 timings. I changed that to a 64GB (2x32GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 30-36-36-76...
I just got an FSP Hydro Ti Pro 1000W. Performance is solid, it's more compact than the usual 1000W PSU and it's quiet. The modular cables are a bit stiff though.
BTW, seems like the newer batches of this ATX3.0 PSU already have the 12V-2x6 socket.
Easy Anti-Cheat was replaced with EA Anti-Cheat with Season 6. Initially after the update, Battlefield 2042 wouldn't launch until I cleared the cache in the EA app. I also I had to lower the RAM speed from the previously working XMP profile to stop the game from freezing the PC. I also noticed...
1. Have you checked if your Windows power profile is set to "Balanced" instead of "High Performance"?
2. Higher temps with the 14900K is expected. It is raptor lake pushed to the limit, right out of the box after all. You can try to disable MCE and select Intel default limits if you haven't...
