I got a cable just like this directly from asus. i like it more than the stock adapter as it’s much slimmer in profile and allows me to close my case. It’s been rock solid, no issues. Pc is on 24/7 and I have been gaming daily on it so the temps have been cranking.

Typo. I meant 10850k :)

Yea. I was afraid at first. To be honest I did some back to back testing with my 3080 and my 3080 was drawing just as much as my 4090 but running much hotter so I’m not sweating the power anymore.

to further qualify- I meant poor connection which includes overstressing the connector at the connection point. That would have been my case if I tried to close the side panel with the original adapter (picture attached). Or it would have snapped the connector on the gpu itself. That said...

I have a seasonic focus gold 850 watt + i9 18500k + asus TUF OC 4090. All at stock settings. Been stress testing it with cp2077 at 4k ultra RT (psycho) settings. I haven’t had a single issue with stability. Seems like the max power draw from gpu when playing is about 350 watts or so. I’m...

Yes. I figured that a poor connection was likely the issue. That said that’s more of a user competence issue rather than equipment issue. However in my case I just wanted to see which would be better. The 1->4->2 connector or the 1->2 connector. I’m leaning on the latter. However it seems...

Yea. Which doesn’t seem to bad IMO. But I don’t know what the temp of other “connectors “ should be. But assuming that a “melting” / soon to be melting connector should be much higher. I also have been in this config for the past couple of days. With a few 3+ hour gaming sessions without any...

For further peace of mind, I played cp2077 for 30 min and then took my thermal cam and aimed it at the connector (when case was open. Gun can’t measure through glass) and got a max temp of 101F under load.

Here to report that I have coil whine on my 4090 asus TUF OC. That said with my case cover on I barely hear it over my case fans. So it might be worse if you are going for a “silent” as some people have mentioned earlier. But for a standard air cooled build with a closed case you should be fine.

Actually. I have a tangential question. I have a 3 + year power supply. A seasonic focus gold 850 watt ps. With an asus TUF OC 4090. Stock i had 2 cables that plugged into the PciE port on the power supply end and then a 1->2 adapter that I then plugged into the 4 plug to 16pin adapter. I had...

exactly. im a little pissed. I would have preferred to save 150$ to get the UM94 vs the 95!

wow. awesome deal guys. jump on it. it's 150$ cheaper than I paid for mine. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291286886520?customid=f32d0cbdd2f741e39921301abcdc4304&pub=5574652453&afepn=5335869999&campid=5335869999&icep_id=117&ipn=icep&afepn=5335869999

I like 21:9. My eyes prefer wider rather than tall. As long as it meets a minimum height. The 34" is minimum. 37-40 would probably be ideal.

what sleep issue are you guys having again? I dont seem to have any with mine? running 290x CF here.

This is your opinion.all the latest blockbuster movies im watching on my monitor fill it perfectly, with no blackbars. good luck finding a 36" 16:9 (which will have similar content size) 1440p monitor let alone a 4k for < $1000. if you do, especially a 4k, i would have bought it already. plus...

I have cf 290x on mine and am getting 88fps in shadow of mordor native res ultra settings. Pretty decent. I think sli should be sufficient.

Yes, it looks like the iphone was overexposing the scene a bit. It oesnt look quite that horrible. Honestly, I love this monitor an this blee/ips glow doesnt bother me much. Im just curious as to what it really is. I think it is IPS glow. I do see a litel bit of glow on the left corner when...

hey guys what do you think this is? I'll post the pics from diff angles. Im not sure if this is IPS glow or bleed.

Agreed. The hot items are typically never on sale. If you're lucky you might get a few points.

Nice. What was your old monitor? Looks tiny next to the new one. Nice case. I have a carbide air too. :)

gotcha.i'll have to do some other full screen tests. know of any good benchmarks to test crossfire?

Is that really the price? If so that is a steal if it's a 60h unit. Hmmm. Maybe I'll test one of those out at work.

Admit it. You just have G.A.S :D

right. I'm sure that the curve helps to SOME degree, but that's subjective. I actually have not personally seen the curved model, but from my experience with the flat, I think the curve, for "me" would be negligible. but curves ARE cool. i would love to have a 100" curved 4k tv :)

I'm a noobie too.this is an open forum for all kinds of opinions and facts. I dont think it's designed for what you are stating... not at all.

how did you know the 2nd card was kicking in? you physically heard the fans whirring? it was getting hotter? or you had some app to monitor the CPU usage, etc?

My first 3d card was when the 3dfx RUSH came out, and I scooped that up. I was also playing MOTORACER that was bundled in with that card non stop. I got it because I didn't want to get a seperate 2d/3d card... and boy did I make the right choice..

Unless money is no object, and unless you are sitting inches away from the screen. I don't see the curve being more than a "cool" factor and not worth the 300 premium. Now if it were 100 more. Then I'd probably do it. I'm probably still in the honeymoon phase since I just got it yesterday...

Unless you are sitting inches away from the monitor I'm not sure if that curve will help much. I am about 2 ft away maybe a little less and I just have to eyeball. But yes it is quite immersive. If it were let's say 38" or more I could definitely see some head turning going on.

I just got the monitor yesterday so I'll have to inspect more carefully. What is the manufacturer date on yours?

Thanks. I'll have to do a little more research on this. It's just bizzare that it's running so hard on eone card, but not the other. good news is that the games still run pretty good on a 21:9 monitor :D

Hey guys can you direct me to a FAQ on the backlighting issue? When I put it on a black screen, I do see some "blurry white light" on the bottom left and bottom right corners. My build is sept 2014, so it seems pretty recent...

Got mine for 999.99. but man, I love it so far. its so wide.

I have the lg waiting for Me on my doorstep at home now. I hate bezels. It interrupts my movies, my games, my Lightroom work. Only thing is I wish it were 38" or something like that. But then it wouldn't be 1k. :(

So you would give the flat version a thumbs Down as well?

lol. I'm blind. You are right.

I just checked and the UM95 is only rated "good" 10/13/2014 published LG 34UM65-P 34 good

Thats bizzare. Chrome shut down the crossfire? hmm.

I did that with the MSI afterburner, and I saw that the temp for GPU2 never went above 49C, while the GPU1 was going up to 90C and the FAN had to be blasting for it to maintain that temp. logically, the 2nd card can't be used that much if it doesnt even go up in temp.

yes I have. they both work individually. but when I have them both in there, I dont think they are wokring at 100%. I've tried both PCIE slots too. no difference.
