    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    0x129 microcode has been released (several ASUS and MSI boards have new bios) and fixes the voltage issue with no impact to performance Ryzen 9 appears to be a flop A lot can change in 2 days!

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    Interesting this is that his failure rate is exponentially higher than is being reported by mainstream pro system builders like Puget This makes me think of a couple of possibilities: 1. His specific workload triggers the issue, though most people's workloads do not 2. The server company's...

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    I don't know what they set 13th/14th gen to, but any system builder with any sense would not run a CPU spec'd at 253w max at 4096w just because the mobo defaulted to that.

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    The Puget Systems reliability report pretty much explains it all. And no, I don't think all 13th gen CPUs are going to fail. https://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2024/08/02/puget-systems-perspective-on-intel-cpu-instability-issues/ Key graph from article here: Looking at this graph, its pretty...

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    Why not just get the NEO G7? It doesnt have the aggressive AR film or scanlines and can still do 4K @ 165hz

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    I can tell you that 2560x1440 16:9 looks excellent upscaled to 4K with the monitor's upscaling. I have a mobile 3070ti and while it can do many games at 4K there are some I need to drop the res a bit. I use photoshop a decent amount too and even there the curve is not a big deal, EXCEPT when...

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    Is this a NEO G8-only issue? I have the NEO G7 and haven't experienced this, though it wasn't a launch monitor.

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    I use mine for productivity and have no issues. The only productivity scenario I could see being an issue is where geometric lines are very important (i.e. photography, architectural video, CAD, etc). For typical office work the curve becomes second nature in a couple of weeks.

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    Decision is pretty simple, but your personal preference will decide - they are basically the same experience aside from the below (I did not include cosmetic differences in the list): NEO G8 + 240hz refresh rate + Best in class glare/reflection elimination performance - Scanlines at 240hz, need...

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    You need to use the HDR calibration tool to get the HDR colors and brightness correct on the Neo G7/G8 in Windows. I have my Neo G7 calibrated and am not experiencing those issues: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9N7F2SM5D1LR Once it is setup properly, the HDR is excellent.

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    UPDATE on my NEO G7 First, the new Windows 11 HDR Calibration tool available in the Microsoft Store massively improved the HDR performance in Windows. Before a lot of stuff was blown out, now it looks great - before it looked great with XBOX Series X but not as great in Windows 11. Now it...

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    The only area that mini LED isn't as good is pure response time, but even there the latest Samsung monitors are definitely pretty great even if not quite as good as OLED. If 3D still was popular that would be a key area OLED works significantly better for the same reason, but it's not. Black...

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    I didn't measure them but they seemed in the ballpark of each other with content. Just looking at the desktop the neo G9 & neo G7 I have to use at a low brightness setting because maxed out both are very bright. The difference is the windows HDR algorithm seems like it needs work on the neo...

    LG 48CX

    I had a 43" 16:9 and felt it was too vertically tall for desk even pushed all the way back to the wall on my fairly large desk. For 16:9 display I think 32" is about as large as I would go, or 38" for 21:9. Really not sure how people use these massive displays on desk without discomfort

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    There is none, you either have to go with 32" 16:9 which is taller but less wide, or 49" 32:9 which is the same height but wider. I personally find 34" 21:9 a bit too vertically short and prefer either 32" 16:9 or 38" 21:9. There is no 38" 21:9 that is great though. So if you are set on 34"...
