I’ve covered this topic before but I highly discourage people from buying the Alienware model. I bought and returned it as it was missing 75% of the features that the previous AW3423DW had. If you’re going to pay $900 for a monitor, wait for the ASUS PG32UCDM to go on sale again. It was down to...

Simple explanation of the general “outrage” here from my own perspective: - I saw an article mentioning gaming flagship head2head - As someone who bought a 10900K, 11900K, 12900K, 13900KS, 14900K, and 9800X3D, who currently has 2 Intel systems and 1 AMD system, I was curious to see what new...

Tj max is the junction temperature or thermal limit before throttling or shutdown occurs. This is one part of the article that they didn’t get wrong. :P

AI Results. Prompt: “AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Faceoff — Battle of the Gaming Flagships” What would you imply the article is about based off of that title?” ChatGPT Answer: Based on the title “AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Faceoff — Battle of the Gaming...

- 285K isn’t the strongest gaming CPU from Intel. - 285K doesn’t provide better overclocking gains than the 9800X3D - 285K is on an end of life platform - 285K has potential optimization/thread scheduling issues with gaming that Intel is still working to address. As someone suggested, take the...

As another commenter mentioned…you decided to label this as a gaming article, then went into productivity, somehow gave Intel the win in overclocking, didn’t match it against the more similar 9950X3D, and also fully ignore the issues around thread scheduling for gaming, on this gaming benchmark...

Garbage article. I knew from the start that there was going to be some attempt to make Intel look less bad. 4 to 3. Lol. Even the 14900K gives the 285K a bigger beating than that. Don’t call it battle of the gaming flagships if you’re not going to focus on…you know…gaming. Where the 285K doesn’t...

I don’t remember what document I read on it but you can google and see lots of people commenting on being able to use it now. As well as my first hand experience. Also this HUB video addresses it around the 10 minute mark. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQpxlQJJVnc

I had been waiting to buy a DP2.1 monitor once I got a 5090. Only to realize once I got the 5090…I no longer needed a DP2.1 monitor. In fact in my setup it would have been worse as I needed at least a 9 foot DP2.1 cable. And only 6 feet cable are within spec. So I’m currently able to do DLDSR...

This isn't a limitation with DP1.4. It was a limitation with Nvidia cards and using multiple display heads. This problem was solved with the RTX 5000 series cards.

I thought you were mistaking DSC for some form of interpolation that was allowing 500Hz because I didn’t see anything in the article that indicated an issue with DSP input latency due to the scalar hardware used. You specifically mentioned people disabling the DSP on this monitor. Which again...

Smooth Motion can actually be really useful. I loaded up Crysis Remastered last night and was getting around 200fps and the frame pacing just wasn’t smooth. Whereas using higher resolution DLDSR + Smooth Motion at like 160-180fps actually looked and felt better than 190-200fps native frames.

There is no input lag from using DSC, and DSC is visually lossless. And if you have an RTX 5000 series card, you don't run into the issues with limitations related to Nvidia's scaling technology when using DSC. So there is no benefit to using DP2.1 as all it does is increase cost, and limit you...

Yes. There's a different in smoothness/clarity/motion tracking for me at 240Hz with and without using Motion Blur. While you may say "400Hz is good enough" I think realistically our eyes are able to track more easily at even higher refresh rates. While this won't matter in a lot of games, it...

Yeah but hard drives go on sale. I bought WD Red Pro 22TB drives for $350 a few months back on sale. They have a 2.5M hour rating. If I had to buy synology drives I’d just dump the system and do one of those knock off synology custom computers. I’m using official hardware right now for...
