Yeah to be honest, I find the brightness on this to be almost too much as it is. I guess other people like wearing sunglasses while using their monitors?

Probably. I do enjoy this monitor a lot, but a hair smaller would be perfect. Some of those Samsung OLEDs sound interesting too.

If you leave it at a full 100% bright screen all the time, maybe. But even then it should last longer than one would reasonably keep the monitor. Under normal use cases, it shouldn't measurably impact the lifespan.

Even 64GB is overkill. I get the impulse, I've been tempted to upgrade to 128GB just for the sake of saying I have 128GB of RAM... but it's pointless.

That's probably not helping, but a debug build shouldn't be enough to tank performance on a 3090 with this game. In any case, it might be a driver issue. I saw a tip on reddit to try the nVidia studio driver, and it made a drastic difference.

The stuttering is making this game borderline unplayable. Forcing dx11 helps significantly, but that unfortunately breaks HDR.

Depends highly on the stress test you're using. I've got a triple 360 rad custom loop with my 5950x, and if I use the mobo PBO limits with prime95 small FFTs, the thing will instantly jump to 85-90C. An easier load like cinebench barely gets the thing into the 70s.

They probably did the math and decided they would not have sold enough more. We're all a pretty niche market in the first place.

Not really. It's an undergrad student basically saying "hey guys, if we can break cryptographic signatures or steal the keys, then LHR is defeated". Like no shit. If there's an avenue of attack - it's probably the GPU authenticating the driver blob. But doesn't seem like nVidia made mistakes...

I ended up buying the 39 cent key before I realized Prime Gaming is giving the GOG keys away for free So here’s a key for anyone who wants it 57PM520E26B4834E0D Needs to be claimed by December 2nd

At least for my prime 850 gold, the RMA replacement (also a prime 850 gold) has no shutdown issues

Throw a pair of good fans on them and I don’t see why it couldn’t keep up with modern 120mm towers. Or really it’d probably slightly outperform them since it’s all copper.

You should be able to fit that in the XL. I have 3 360 radiators in mine, and I think it can accommodate 280 radiators in lieu of a 360. I would consider just going with a custom loop though

Yeah I'd probably just go with 705 in your shoes. Going by the MSDS, they're both propylene glycol and water based coolants. The 705 has a couple extra corrosion inhibitors and antimicrobial additives. I doubt there'd be any issues mixing them. Just maybe they can't guarantee the low...

Yeah I'm still enjoying mine, especially now that they fixed VRR over DisplayPort for nVidia cards. I tend not to play games in a bright environment so the HDR still has enough pop for me (and for movies I have my TV in the living room). Does make me wish open source monitor firmwares were a...
