Personally I prefer the TN PG278Q instead of the IPS PG279Q. The IPS suffers from so much IPS glow and BLB that the picture looks horrible. Whereas my TN has none of those issues. I compared both inside an editing studio with controlled lighting.

I have looked at a couple of Titan X 2-way SLI reviews and having calculated the expected framerates at 5K, I am actually impressed. As long as I do not use any form of anti-aliasing and overclock my cards as high as they will go, I should be tethering on the brink of playable...

Even I am pretty sure 1 Titan X won't cut it at 5K, even if my go-to games aren't very demanding. Oh my god, I can't believe I didn't think of this. I should go to sleep earlier. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks, I'll take your advice to heart. If only there were any 5K benchmarks with 2x Titan X with reasonable settings, as in, no anti-aliasing on. I'm happy as long as I can get at least somewhere around 40 FPS and low frametimes.

You might be right. For all of you who have helped me so far, thanks. I've decided to wait and see whether or not the AMD R9 390X can contend with the Nvidia Titan X and/or if the Titan X will drop in price the coming months. So instead of splurging about $2000-$3000 I'll get a cheap...

Will do! :) I figured the monitor is already so sharp that FXAA doesn't blur it as much as it would on lower resolutions. Plus, it's pretty effective for it's performance cost which is more or less nonexistant. But we'll see, I will choose AA accordingly.

It's still a work in progress, but the parts that I have bought so far are Intel Core i7-5960X, Asus X99-E WS and Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 2400MHz and the beast of them all that arrived a couple of hours ago; Dell UP2715K. I'm still working on the rest. I value stability more than performance...

So it appears that if I cut down on the amount of AA (Maybe just use FXAA?) I can get by with 2x Titan X/R9 390X? I'm aiming for at least 40 FPS or around there.

So, any more inputs? The monitor is slated for arrival in 4 hours. Should I just wait for the R9 390X? If so, what kind of cheap GPU can I use in the meantime that has 2 DisplayPorts?

Huh?

It's a shame they cut off DP performance on them. Have there been any word, or even rumours as to the pricing on the 390X? If it's priced very competitively I could imagine getting three of them.

Noted. :) I don't do as much gaming as I used to. My go-to games nowadays are EVE Online and FFXIV:ARR but I play other games every now and then. How is the VRAM usage on your 980 at 4K? I'm afraid 4GB might be too low at 5K.

I have a Dell UP2715K on the way to me as we speak and I just realized I forgot to order a new GPU so I can actually run the damn thing. What should I get? No brand preference. Max budget is $2000.

How's SLI with the monitor nowadays? I recall that there were some problems with SLI around launch but has it been fixed since then?

Way ahead of you, my system is already overkill. There are literally no available upgrade paths for me at the current time.

My friends, whom aren't so knowledgeable with hardware, like to mess with me because I bought a $400~ PSU (Corsair AX1500i) when I would have been fine on a EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2. But I had the cash available and I didn't want to ever worry about purchasing a new PSU again, so I bought it. And...

I have had bad experiences with Acer in the past as far as hardware is concerned, but their customer support has never failed me once. I remember an Acer laptop of mine broke down once. I called to the store that sold me it and they redirected me to Acer. Next day, they came and picked it up...

Z97 & X99 already support NVMe though. Maybe some particular motherboards don't, but the chipset itself does as far as I'm aware. Some might just need a BIOS update or something.

Damn it...

I'll be pissed if my R5E doesn't support bootable NVMe M.2 drives. I'll be even more pissed if they shortly thereafter release a R5E Black Edition that does support it.

One thing I'm personally excited about is the fact that one might be able to use the drive initially in AHCI-mode and later, once the OS is installed, download the Windows NVMe driver and switch modes. I don't know if that's possible at all but it'd be a godsend for those of us wanting to use...

Looks like he's using Windows 7 which doesn't have a native NVMe driver and as such it defaults to AHCI? Though I don't know how that is possible if the drive can only use NVMe to begin with... Either way, for best compatibility it is better to use a more modern OS such as Windows 8.1 which...

Hoping the Samsung 34" turns out well because the Asus PG278Q is a dud. Too many issues for me.

Huh, I knew it was pretty damn good out of the box but that good? Wow. I guess I'll not get a calibrator with this display.

Should I calibrate my Swift? What's a recommended calibrator to get?

Heh. That's the Z97 white version of the Sabertooth.

Well, for me, there is noticeable ghosting at ULMB 100% Pulse Width. So I won't use that ever. It's literally worse than not using ULMB at all. For me, ULMB at 10% does not produce any ghosting. But heck, it might just be so dark that I don't see any to begin with.

I also have ULMB on at all times I can. 10% Pulse Width, 100% brightness. It's a bit dark but nothing I can't handle. As for your question, are you making your browser full-screen? That might be why. Otherwise try Chrome or Firefox.

From what I hear, a lot of R5E users prefer to set VCCIN (Input Voltage) manually around 1.9-1.95. Don't ask me why.

Alright. It's either Titan Black or Titan II for me. I need that DP for when I do work on my home computer.

So... I've heard many say that you want at least 100FPS or close to it to maintain a feeling of smoothness, something of which may be attributed to the high refres rates of 120-144Hz. Is this true? I mean... I'd have to wait for Titan II and SLI two of them in order to achieve that in 1440p with...

What I want to know is how the pre-applied thermal paste on CLC units (Corsair, NZXT etc.) fare against conventional thermal pastes.

Hello! I've been using my Swift for a week now and I'm still loving it. No backlight bleed and no dead pixels. There are however two stuck pixels (red & green) to the far right but I never notice them. I have the monitor at default settings but ULMB turned on at 10%. The motion clarity is...

Thanks. G-Sync kicks on automatically once you enter a fullscreen game, right? That's cool. So I get the best of both worlds. ULMB on desktop and G-Sync in games. Fantastic! Does anyone know if ULMB works well when watching movies? How is it when you are browsing? Would like to know what I'm...

Is this correct? 1.) Set monitor to 120Hz. 2.) Set monitor to ULMB. 3.) Set Preferred Refresh Rate to highest available. If I do this, will I have ULMB on desktop and G-Sync in games? Do I have to enable/disable anything else? Also, where do I set the monitor to 120Hz? Is it in the Windows...

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but how do I force ULMB on desktop and G-Sync in games?

I wonder if it's worth buying this monitor knowing that you might get a panel that has all of the issues mentioned on the web. I do alot of gaming though. It's basically 90% of my time spent with the computer.

Seems to me that most issues stem from people running SLI. Might be wrong on that one though.

So, I've looked around for a non-modular/semi-modular short PSU that might fit the bill and I think I might have found it. The Cooler Master Vxxx series. 140mm long, all but the storage cables are non-modular and it looks to be a pretty good unit all around. Will do some more research but if I...

I don't suppose it's possible to cancel my order and receive a refund?
