    Conventional wisdom: Need 4k+ monitors to make use of the RTX3080/90 or RX6800 series?

    Hmm, maybe related but unlikely to the main mechanism. CRT flicker annoys people because they notice the brightness dips during each refresh due to the way the CRT excite the phospors left right up down and parts of the image become dimmer as the phosphors lose excitation. LCDs don't flicker...

    Conventional wisdom: Need 4k+ monitors to make use of the RTX3080/90 or RX6800 series?

    1) Not sure why, but last year when I tried my friend's 120Hz monitor for about an hour and I struggled to feel the extra fluidity I was hoping for (kinda like way back when I used to play 90-100Hz refresh on my CRT). Maybe something about it wasn't set right, the game wasn't fast enough, or...

    New Silverstone FT02

    Me too, but on an FT02. Have to replace the bottom case fans though. Have about 3-4mm ish of space between bottom of 3090 and case fan in photo below.

    Conventional wisdom: Need 4k+ monitors to make use of the RTX3080/90 or RX6800 series?

    I say nah... Just earlier this year I was still running my 1920x1200 60Hz resolution monitor, and totally using up all the GPU performance I could get from my 2070 Super. I don't have eagle eyes but can easily notice aliasing in many games when rendered at native resolution. And even in some...

    New Silverstone FT02

    The minimal maintenance aspect becomes more and more important for me as time goes on. About 15-20 years ago I would get a new computer every 1.5 years or so due the rapid pace of hardware improvements, so maintenance was mostly a non-issue because my PC hardware just didn't stay with me for a...

    New Silverstone FT02

    Dang I just happened to bump into this thread. I have two FT02 (I think the original with only the USB2.0 slots, and the newer USB3.0 one) - I bought the original in 2010, and again in 2015. It may be time again in a year or two to get a new PC...I may have to reuse one of my FT02 cases unless...

    NEC PA271Q vs EIZO CG279X (aka 27" IPS 'A-TW' faceoff)

    I'm pretty sure it was you and a few people on this forum who were really instrumental in my research into the 2490 in 2010! Figure I should contribute some new info if I have some this time...

    What is a decent 27 1440p monitor these days

    Interesting...I've never owned a VA monitor for my personal use so my experience with them is limited to VA monitors at work. Even at work I hate them though I don't do color critical work there - something as simple as viewing graphs with dark colors already annoy me - I had a simulation plot...

    NEC PA271Q vs EIZO CG279X (aka 27" IPS 'A-TW' faceoff)

    - Yup the power LED can be turned off in both monitors. The NEC's button lights can be turned off or brightness adjusted (flicker is visible at low brightness) via the SpectraView II software; the Eizo allows you to turn off or brightness adjusted via the monitor menu itself (but I haven't tried...

    What is a decent 27 1440p monitor these days

    As you probably know there are two main LCD panel types in play today: VA-based or IPS-based, each with its strengths and drawbacks (I'm sick of it really because the tradeoffs have largely remained the same the last 15 years). In case you are wondering about IPS monitors that are low glow...

    NEC PA271Q vs EIZO CG279X (aka 27" IPS 'A-TW' faceoff)

    Hi all My old account expired so I re-registered here. Last time I posted about my NEC LCD2490WUXI monitors (https://hardforum.com/threads/three-lcd2490wuxis-on-me-desk-yar.1662152/#post-1038204469) It's been about 10 years since I got them and have been checking on monitors periodically every...
