How about these guys pleasantly surprise us for a change?* We'll never forget they're scum, even though we "must" buy their products.... Right now, there are only bad scenarios. -Hey, 2.5K$, enjoy -2K$, be thankful it's not 2.5 *like same MSRP as previous gen and adequate availability to get...

Don't bother testing the PSU yourself as most likely you won't find anything wrong by just checking voltage. A new PSU is always a good investment. One thing to check is to add memory+hotspot temps monitoring for your GPU. I had to repaste my 3090's memory as it had dried out and gave 110+...

Nice and detailed review. I wasn't expecting stellar results but it gets an entire "meh" from me, solely due to their pricing. Granted it's not a silly Intel chip refresh that just adds more wattage for more performance so a few extra frames for greater efficiency is -mildly- interesting...

Just put the graphics settings to Ultra, test on the 1440p@240Hz monitor, while the others are unplugged, not just turned off. Test without raytracing first, to establish a "baseline", enable raytracing next and benchmark agtain and after that check with pathtracing enabled. We're just...

The 60fps was more like a figure of speech. I apologize. Can you check if you have capped your framerate through the game options or in the nvidia control panel? Also I assume you have disabled g/vsync options? Do you have other, more demanding games to benchmark with? Like cyberpunk @ 1440p...

For some reason I suspect you have some 60fps frame rate cap in games....

That seems ok. What about games? (always with just one monitor connected)

Hey bud. Can you try and benchmark stuff with just one monitor plugged in? (not the 1080p/60Hz one) (stupid phone dark mode had half your OP in black letters and didn't see most of your original post!)

Indeed. I actually "downgraded" from 4K@60Hz to an OLED Ultrawide 3440x1440 @ 175Hz... no regrets whatsoever. Next big update will be when 5K Ultrawides, of OLED level picture quality, are widely available (and maybe a 6080/90 or something).

Now that's something that actually takes effort to pull off! I remember getting a completely empty 970evo SSD box from (sold by) Amazon and they were remarkably chill about it and sent a replacement free of charge. Maybe they were already aware of such instances? I guess their cost of doing...

TBH I don't find it very impressive, seeing as the 4XXX series debuted almost a year and a half ago. Let's hope non-gaming related activities don't suck in too much inventory.

Oh right, flashback here as well! Before naxxramas (vanilla), the mods where getting so bad that some also pushed buttons for you! Not just the (super tedious) rebuff of 5minute paladin blessings, but even the entire rotation. I took a long break back then :D

@Brandon Hill_TH 1499$ or 1199$ for the 32''? (USD not CAD :LOL:) I see conflicting reports on that but it looks like 1199, non?

800R, especially for something "small" like a 34'' sounds like a terrible idea.

Seeing LEDs and RGB in every small thing is borderline annoying. What's also annoying is that moving up hardware tiers, includes some rgb/led in the cost due to product segmentation.... can't want the best thing without LEDs, right? Here's an extra 50$ of extra cost for funky lights. However...
