    Coil Whine on Nvidia 4090 and 4080 cards

    In the past I have had cards with constant coil whine even at idle. My 3070TI that I currently have had coil whine when I got it but at some point it just went away. (y)

    Anyone actually have a 650 or 650E Board yet?

    Yeah in looking the Strix or the Gigabyte Aorus Master B650e both look pretty enticing price per feature set compared to the x670e's. Im curious about peoples reviews.

    RTX 4xxx / RX 7xxx speculation

    At previous places I worked yes. The R&D (and other) costs were rolled into the unit cost from an accounting perspective. Nvidia could be different as I never worked for them.

    RTX 4xxx / RX 7xxx speculation

    Seeing the margins for nvidia at 70+ % already and having them increase the pricing on cards in depressed market, I have lost all respect for them much like apple. 70%+ margins is pure greed, and as a consumer I will not support that.

    The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)

    But HDR doesnt absolutely mean better colors, look at the DCI-P3 coverage these IPS panels are around 86% for the best of them around 1000$. My projector for instance has ~97% DCI-P3. Sure the super expensive monitors have better DCI-P3 coverage, but those are are nearly as much as my whole...

    The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)

    Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt settle for a 60hz again, but 4k (Higher pixel density) was a much better visual value to me than HFR even in old games that were easily pegged at 144hz. I think my eyes top out around 90-100hz, I couldnt tell the difference beyond that. 4k and great colors > text...

    The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)

    That' just it, I tried one but it just wasn't really. I mean was is better, sure... but again it really didn't feel that much smoother. Maybe my eyes just top out early on the HFR scale, I dunno. I was all excited to final get a HFR monitor a while back got the FI27Q-P, but the difference was...

    The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)

    I feel HDR brings very little over all. It doesnt make a night an day difference to me, its a nice to have at best. Better color and saturation would be great a much bigger win IMHO, as well as better contrast (but that I have given up on with IPS) The problem is the 7 year old Dell is about 85%...

    The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)

    For the cost of any Ferrari (performance models) if it cornered badly that would be a huge flaw based on it's purpose. It would be a terrible value proposition vs a mclaren, lambo, or even porsche. Honestly Im somewhat disappointed that my new Corvette corners poorly vs my BMW 1M, but the...

    The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)

    I have had alot of computer monitors for decades, IMHO value for cost these are just not really worth the price. (Especially the 1500$ + ones, while some look nice that is just ridiculously greedy margins right there!) They dont look significantly better from a color, clarity, or motion...

    The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)

    So when is the next round of panels that hopefully dont suck as bad due?

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    I recently tried a 144 hz at a friends and it just didn't give me the same feel as a 75-90hz CRT back in the day. There was a difference (60->144 with about 120 fps average) but it just didnt really feel striking. More noticeable was the freesync lack of tearing.

    Any news on when the ATX 3.0 PSU's will arrive?

    Im surprised we haven' t seen any hit the market yet.

    RTX 4xxx / RX 7xxx speculation

    But if prices remain consistent then new tech is just costing more. Price drops on previous tech just mean new tech is that much better w/o costing that much more.

    June 2022 - What 27in or 34in 1440P Monitors are the best to get?

    Still not enough space. hmmm. I haven't thought about a 4k 28"... I will have to think on this more. Can that one do 10-bit 444 via DP? I was honestly hoping to spend less and get a 4k 32" or 5k 38" later when better ones come out and I can get a video card that can drive that for some...
