    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    The main difference between them is latency and stability with multi-channel audio. You get dropouts, loss of sync, much higher latency (if you use it for any sort of production with DAW/VST). For eg. I can run 16x channels audio with 2ms latency and zero dropouts if I use my PCIe soundcard...

    Pimax!!!...So instead of creating the 12x... They decided to make another 2 headsets on-top of the last 2 headsets...

    It'll need DP2.1 to be a thing first. DP1.4 doesn't have the bandwidth. Look at the issues XR4 is having due to DP1.4 requiring everything to run OpenXR and DFR otherwise you're playing at a Quest 3 resolution.

    Has anyone who runs the W11 Insider Preview 24H2 tried manually installing the WMR Portal software to see if it works?

    So, what are you rocking for VR?

    Mostly use a Crystal for sim racing, Got a Pico 4 which I use for room scale stuff, a G2 which I haven't decided if I should keep yet and PSVR2. Just recently sold a G1 and Quest Pro. I mostly play AMS2, SkyrimVR, Elite Dangerous on PC and GT7 on PS5.

    4090 Reviews are up.

    It works in most games but not all. It gives you the option to select 8k in the resolution menu. You can scale it on the gpu or your monitor, record 8k 60fps or downsampled to 4k videos and snapshot 8k images. When I had an 8k screen I could go to 16k :)

    Are you camping out / lining up for an RTX 4090?

    The amount of people who couldn't get hold of 3080's or 3090's until the last 6 months they may just held off for these. Well, that's what I'm telling myself to validate me getting one on day 1

    Are you camping out / lining up for an RTX 4090?

    I'm just going to order from Nvidia website prob. Are they next day delivery in UK? also, what case has the width to accommodate the card. My current zotac 3090 can just about fit it but the side panel won't go on with the power connector installed with a 4090.

    I think the no logo from an unplugged cold start is the clear give away that it's not working correctly.

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    don't know. I never used the USB C on my old 2080ti. I thought it was on the GPU for VR headsets to use a single cable for video and power. I thought it was strange as I bought a HP Reverb afterwards and it had DP. DId you check the PDF? it doesn't say much apart from you can change the USB...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    isn't the small USB C port for video input for use with last gen cards like a 2080ti and also why you can select it from the input list when you press {RIGHT} on the remote?

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Red was always there because red is a dominant colour of brown. The object you're seeing the blur from is brown and the background is also brown. Let me explain some more. Your monitor produces colours with 3 different colour sub pixels - Red, Green and Blue. Your brown mountains are made with...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I'm actually not sure I can see what you're seeing to be honest. I can see a little blur, I wouldn't say it's a stand out red or anything. I'd say it's a darker version of the background colour as the blur is noticeable on the black areas. Dragging light blue leaves a darker blue tint blur, as...

    have you tried a HDMI cable yet? I haven't noticed any of the issues you seem to get. Also what are you trying to do? I set mine at 10 bit, full colour, 4k ,144hz and left it since day 1. No reason to try and faff about with weird resolutions or frame rates.

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I think there's a setting in the nvidia global profile which states something like "Aim for highest refresh", I think you can change it to application controlled. Or in the per app profile you can set the desired max frame rate with a slider. I don't know how dark your blacks are but mine are...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    It should be. DP 1.4 is running at maximum bandwidth while HDMI 2.1 is running half bandwidth. I'd say the half bandwidth will be less prone to effects of errors due to cable length and connectors etc Like I've said multiple times, on my PC the HDMI 2.1 on this monitor is pixel sharp. DP1.4...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    My screen with underscores is fine when zoomed on white background. Are you using DP or HDMI 2.1? I'm using HDMI , like I said I found DP a bit soft and weird with this monitor. Any blue on that image is due to the refresh rates of the camera and monitor and not what I see. Scale on GPU and...

    FV43U or QN90A / QN90B?

    Samsung broke their native resolution on my 8k TV for 8 months with a shoddy firmware update. My once working perfectly PC suddenly wouldn't HDMI handshake with the TV and could only display 4k 60hz. Changing the resolution to anything else would make the screen go into "no signal" . I spent...

    Happens with both the PS5 and a RTX3090 via HDMI into the FV43U. Every 30-45 seconds there's a .5 second silence via the toslink. Monitor speakers work fine. PS5/3090 HDMI -> FV43U toslink -> Prism Callia DAC. F05 , for the short time I had it installed didn't have this issue. F04 and F06 both...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    It's a great screen. Don't be put off by stuff in this thread. White text on black background looking funky can be dealt with by adjusting the monitors black equaliser settings - deep black turns more of a dark grey but you can read stuff. Input lag - fine. HDR is amazing on it. Best I've seen...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    when I ran an 8k screen (55" samsung TV) I had to have 50% scale on most games to 4k. It really softened the image vs normal 4k, even at that resolution. You do get used to it though. I think if given the option I'd like to run older games at 4k and newer games at a lower res than be forced to...

    I noticed a difference in saturation straight away. HDMI had more colour. DP1.4 looked softer on 100% scaling reading text. Could be down to the 3m cables I'm using?

    well they didn't fix the toslink audio dropouts. What is "type-c DSC" and should it be on or off with HDMI 2.1 from a 3090 and PS5?

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    It's like going from 4:2:0 to RGB. It's a shift of clarity on 100% scaled text. A bit weird if it's lossless as I noticed it straight away.

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    F04 has audio drop-outs via the optical out. F05 broke HDMI 2.1 for me. I have a dual boot system and it goes black screen on the OS selector menu. Removing the power sometimes allows it to come on, but most it doesn't. Works once I turn it to HDMI 2.0. DP1.4 works at 4k 144hz 10bit but...

    Received by 3090 FE today - having weird issue with my z390 asrock taichi mb - "b2" error code

    Why would using 2 cables be better than 1 cable anyway? Each GPU end of the cable has 8 wires connected to it. They aren't daisy chained. They come straight from the PSU. The only difference should be that using separate cables won't use a shared plastic connector.

    I purchased my 2080ti 15 months ago. I went specifically with EVGA to get the step-up as I expected the 30x0 cards to be released at any time. That never happened. Roll on over a year later and they've finally been announced and everyone is losing their shit over them being so powerful - when...

    The great video card dump of 2020 has begun!!!

    Yeah, I've just thrown mine on ebay for £600, but who in their right mind is going to buy it? Looking to get a 3090, but will probably need a new PSU too to add to the cost. My 750w EVGA isn't go to power it along with the 10900x.

    Windows 10 Audio Popping/Crackling Issue

    I know what the sound is, if you're talking about the slight 1 sample "kik" each time you retrigger something. It's caused by the audio waveform cycle being cut off mid cycle rather than before it reaches zero. Every time I've heard that sound it's been a USB device or issue.
