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)

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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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%...

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...

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...

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

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.

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

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.

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...

How is this a worst case scenario?

I am eyeballing the lg27gp850. My desk cant really fit the CRG9 thats just too wide. 1080 doesnt cut it for vertical resolution either. Ideally I would get a 3840x1600 (but to much cost) or a 5k monitor but cost and refresh rates. That is why Im setting on a 1440p for now. This will eventually...

Im looking for a 1440p standard with: high refresh rate and freesync/gsync. 1.07b colors (low banding) 144hz refresh (dont need or want to be bleeding edge here) Very good text quality (work and games) say ~300-500$ Whats everyone think based on their experience? Appreciate the feedback.

And its gone

Oh sweet I didnt see that! Thanks! I may have to bite on one.

Are you stating that the PG32UQ has 48Gbps ports? So far various monitors support 24 or 40 or 48 Gbps ports, its a crime this is not more clear in the specifications. I heard the PG32UQ was 40Gbps but that was just a passing mention I saw, not some testing.

If you mean a VA monitor no. The 32" equiv is an IPS and there are two. FI32U and M32U.

Thanks man.

So whats the scoop are any of these monitors equipped with 40 or 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports?

On the screen 1/2 blue, it could be a cable issue. Make sure you are using a quality DP 1.4 cable that is rated for the highest signaling rate. Not saying it is, but I have seen funky things with cables.

Its the last option Im worried about.

So has anyone validated yet whether the hdmi 2.1 ports are 40gbps, 48gbps, or just hdmi 2.0 ports with lipstick?

No laddie, Its definitely a Wee Bit bigger. A Fair Piece is a good bit bigger than a Wee Bit, and a Wee Bit is somewhat bigger than a smidgen. Where did you all learn how to estimate?

So do we know for certain these HDMI ports are not 40 or 48 gbps?

So when is the TI launch date?

Is the Glorious Model D as good as the O? I like the shape better.

What was that sweet ass mouse Kyle had? What are the current goto gaming mice? (Wired)

What do you see that is wrong with that last overwatch picture?

You kind of avoided the video cable question. You said different monitors and different cable types... but.... Make sure you are using DP or HDMI and using the appropriate DP 1.2 or 1.4 rated cable or HDMI 2.0 cable to ensure you are not loosing fidelity. And dont use a cable any longer than you...

Really who is spending 500$ on a low end product? These prices are just stupid. If this if the new normal, I guess Im out of gaming all together.

Well said Snowdog! RT is absolutely important, but nobody I know will give up shader performance or resolution or framerate for "better looking". RT hardware is the next step and everyone (vendors) know it, its the only way we will really solve particular graphics challenges going forward. As...
