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...

And that's the 16 foot one that's particularly expensive. The 10 foot is closer

Am I missing where the cable costs $80?

Well the display does have two HDMI ports so you can use both your PC and PS5 via HDMI. But the DisplayPort is fine. Below 48Hz the GPU will just use LFC so your effective range is still 1 - 120 As far as the HDR - By the objective measurements, the LG CX/C1 offers a superior HDR experience...

Yes, it can do HDR and gsync compatible at the same time As of F05, the range is 48 - 120 over DisplayPort and 40 - 120 over HDMI. in F02-F04, it was 40 - 120 for all ports. I find there to be less flicker with the 48 - 120 anyway, and at that point the LFC transition isn't really noticeable.

I'm using this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092ZXSVJS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I've also considered getting a fiberoptic displayport cable to have something thinner, but they're not cheap.

Supports 4k RGB @ 120 Hz over HDMI for me. That said, I haven't noticed that delay over DisplayPort unless the resolution is actually changing when going full screen. Though now that I think of it, pretty much all of the games I play support borderless, so that might be the difference.

My original cable was flaky with my X470 board with a 5950x. Eventually stopped working altogether. They shipped me the new revision cable and that seems to be working great so far.

I'll have to compare to my TV, but to some degree that's just going to be reality when 0,0,0 is literally off and 1,1,1 isn't when you only have 256 steps. I imagine 1,1,1 in 10-bit would be much darker.

You could probably use koolance 705 instead.

There's an F05 non-beta now. Going to flash that and see if it fixes anything. Edit: Seems to have fixed the issue. They did change the minimum in the EDID to 48Hz instead of 40Hz like with F02-F04, but it's still a wide enough range for LFC so it should be fine.

Might be the F05 firmware. Mine seems to be counting correctly now too. I just need them to fix the EDID they fucked up, since DisplayPort is 99% of the reason I bought this thing in the first place.

Unless you want multiple displays or need to use that single HDMI port for something else. And for older games you don’t necessarily need a 3080 or better. Overall the issues do actually seem fixable. Question is whether or not gigabyte will bother.

Yeah mine was reading similarly at the level you see in that picture. I think it's probably some combination of air being stuck somewhere in the loop and the soft tubing collapsing a tad when the vacuum is pulled. It's probably calculating the level based on the assumption that the loop is...

European consumer protection laws would probably supersede that anyway.

Looks like we've got pretty similar setups. Definitely enjoy the peace of mind this thing offers. Feel more okay leaving the system on even when I'm not home. Mine also seems to be inaccurate for sensing the level - though I wonder if that represents air bubbles still trapped somewhere in the...

So based on Gsync Compatible not working over DisplayPort for them, seems like Rtings was using the F05 beta firmware. Interesting that the vivid mode actually does seem to have similar brightness numbers to the LG C1 (and brighter at 2%), but the "real scene" brightness is significantly lower.

I don’t really notice any flickering on either my tv or monitor. If you can handle a crt, you should be easily able to handle an OLED.

They do quote 800-900 nits at 3% on their website though, so presumably they do intend for it to get brighter.

They might be taking LFC into account? The EDID itself reports 40-120Hz on F04 and earlier. On F05 Beta, the displayport reports 24 - 120Hz (but at least for me that doesn't actually work), and HDMI still reports 40 - 120Hz.

With any luck, Gigabyte will issue a firmware update to address the brightness. RTINGs reviews have gotten them to fix other issues in the past.

It lets me enable it at 60Hz with the current beta firmware (at least over DisplayPort). It didn't look quite right though.

Having had a Kuro myself (well it was my dads since I was still a kid then), I have a very hard time believing someone could be satisfied with a plasma and then end up hating OLED and preferring an lcd.

You realize until fairly recently, no display got as bright as the OLEDs currently do right? We all managed to use those displays in our offices and homes without issue. I still watch TV and play games in the daylight with my curtains open and lights on. I just don’t point those light sources...

Not everyone plays games all the time, but this thread specifically is asking about the best gaming displays. In any case, seems like your argument is that if you have a living space that is horribly setup for a TV, then a worse TV might give you a more visible, but still pretty shitty end...

As long as you’re not playing on the surface of the sun, an OLED panel is more than bright enough. The response time and contrast make it far superior to any LCD offering IMO. Burn in is an eventuality, but should take years to become noticeable.
