Scan are showing that their expected shipment of MSI cards for this week are delayed to the 14th-16th. The EVGA cards they were expecting this week have been delayed to 7th-9th. Their twitter account is saying that the EVGA cards are delayed due to POSCAPS!

jisforjosh posted:Doesn't China have some national week+ long holiday starting this week that's going to absolutely murder production output? I might be misremembering or misunderstanding an offhand gamersnexus comment but my understanding is that early October is also when cards shipped by sea freight should be arriving in the states? Which should be a much higher supply of cards than air shipping.

RTings and TFTCentral do good monitor reviews, and other sources are getting better over time, but a review is not enough to know if a monitor may have other issues. "Go to the monitor thread" and "Don't rush to buy new products unless you're OK with serious disappointment" are the correct answers. There are thousands of products you should definitely not buy, a moderate number you might consider, and a small number that are "this fits your niche, just buy it". Non-gaming monitors are different, you can pretty much buy any 1080p or 4k IPS or VA monitor with decent reviews on Amazon and you'll be fine. While the long chinese holidays are usually a non-issue, I could possibly see a bit of disruption happening right now if manufacturers (who of course were planning ahead for the holiday) experienced delays because of hardware redesigns.

Paul MaudDib posted:G-sync is fine and I've never experienced any of the "line" issues across four different G-sync monitors (including one that was supposedly known to do it). Monitors with Gsync modules have variable overdrive settings to provide a better image with less overshoot across the entire refresh range, and many (though not all) also support ULMB. ULMB doesn't always have the best tuning, but out of the box it tends to look and perform better than most other monitors that have backlight strobing. Variable overdrive isn't part of the freesync spec, and it matters if you can't consistently get framerates that match whatever your monitor had its overdrive tuned for (usually higher refresh rates)

TFTCentral is just so far beyond basically anyone else in putting the effort into producing thorough, exhaustive, technically detailed reviews that it's not even funny. The downside being that, of course, they don't review nearly as many monitors because of it.

Anyone notice their 3080FE loud as hell? It’s probably because I’m used to my ASUS 1070 that I never ever heard, even during full load, but I got to try it for the first time last night for 45 min or so (Playing Control, everything maxed) and it would kick the fans up to what I assume was 100% quite often and I could even hear it through my headset. Should I try to undervolt it a bit just to give it some leeway? It never got above 71 C and Control was running at about 120fps (@ 1440p with DLSS) with absolutely everything maxed so I don’t mind losing a tiny bit of performance.

I bought my XB270HU 5 years ago specifically because of ULMB. I realized later how good G-sync was for more demanding games. I'm happy with it and won't upgrade until it breaks or I can get a monitor that can compete with my C9 (lol). I just hope VRR on the C9 actually works well.

Truga posted:i really want this stupid monitor but it's way less pixels than a comparable 4k for a higher price Yeah but... 21:9 owns way more than 4K. It's functionally way more useful in any FPS game, and movies are a perfect fit too. If there was a 4K monitor with the option to black out the top third of the screen and drop the image down to present to the PC as a 21:9 then I'd totally buy one if it were cheaper, but I don't think anyone has done that feature in hardware nor is there a not completely jank software solution. quote:also HDR400 IPS lol, when are we getting affordable oleds that don't burn in Same time we're getting a gsync LED projector over 2000 lumens: never because it would be too good and useful

victrix posted:Ultrawide peeps, what's your opinion on it if you've been using it for a few years? Using an Acer X34 + Korean 27" since March 2017 and it's been sick. I want to upgrade my GTX 1080 Ti because I want the shinies and 100Hz but that's a personal problem. Games: Ultrawide feels great and while support is better than ever you may have to get out the text editor/game console or just run pillarbox/windowed. Check places like https://www.wsgf.com for your favorite titles if this is important. Productivity: Got an app called WinDock that lets me set custom window snap zones that lets me do things like make the bottom edge snap windows into 3 equal columns. This feels mandatory but it massively improves usability to the point of being superior. Nth'ing everything about RTings/TFTCentral and not rushing. The only thing I can't recommend is a 1080p ultrawide. The benefit of UW is having vision spanning size with a good view distance and usable resolution and that wasn't it for me.

I've been running a Dell U3415W for probably... 3 years now? It's been a great monitor. Only real downside is that it's 60hz and next monitor will be faster, but for the resolution and size I quite like 21:9 curved.

Or an OLED TV. but yeah I mean the 34" ultrawides are $600-700 and the 38" and OLED are "lol how much you got" territory. It is kinda disgusting that for the price things haven't really changed in years, Nixeus EDG 27 and Acer XF270HU IPS has been out for a long time now and basically nothing has significantly improved on that price/quality offering for a long time.

There's just too many little gotchas, if you haven't spent a month meditating on the farthest stand to understand the Arcane Secrets of the Ancient Monitor Gods then it's best just to ask for the Thread Approved Deal Of The Week (tm). That's a bad deal, you're getting a refurb Acer TN, for the same amount you could get a new LG 27GL83A IPS panel. https://smile.amazon.com/LG-27GL83A-B-Ultragear-Compatible-Monitor/dp/B07YGZL8XF Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Sep 29, 2020 |

Got my 3090 installed and it's a complete mess. G-Sync not working on my CX is the least of my problems. The input just completely cuts out at random and there's nothing I can do to restore it other than hard resetting the computer. Sometimes it boots back at 4k resolution, sometimes it decides 640x480 is good enough, all times it's only temporary before it shits the bed again. I have no idea how to even begin diagnosing the issue, let alone fixing it.

DarkestLite posted:Top is exhaust.  there'll be radiant heat off of the back of the gpu, and obviously the gpu fans are more a guess. the thermodynamics of it are more complicated at load and really depend on the pressure each card has internally but there's a lot of wasted potential there. you're effectively competing with the cpu cooler getting any cold air with that exhaust top setup, and the exhaust is situated much closer to the intakes as well. as far as the gpu goes you might be in an awkward spot with the dead zone from the intake fans not giving the card direct coverage - but it should be fine in they're not all set to the lowest rpm. if you're setting a custom curve set the exhaust a bit more aggressively as it's doing the heavy lifting of removing heat, the intakes are more bring cold air in and will be competing with each other. what's the front of the case look like for clearance? where are those front fans getting air? is this the stock fan configuration? e: wait a second what's that second pci-e card sitting directly under the gpu? that won't be helping matters Wiggly Wayne DDS fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Sep 29, 2020 |

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:you're better off removing it and sealing the top, I have a fan there, except as an intake with a dust filter. "Heat rises" is irrelevant inside a case with that many fans, so you might as well use that fan as an intake and make your case hilariously positive pressure (3 in, 1 out) or just adjust the fan curves and get lower noise. I wouldn't buy a fan for this, but you might as well use it since you have it. e: vvv That's the more sensible option, but seal the front of the top then.
