48" almost looks kinda comical on my desk. I wall mounted it over last weekend but need to lower it, so still working on the final install

haha I used to have a 40" and I wanted to go to 49" but never found a good deal on Wasabi Mango

I remember those days of a big ass single monitor. I need multi monitor tho to be happy

[MrJensenn]

also, Ampere is getting SAM so dont make any decision based off that

This will also force amd to enable it on previous generations since nvidia will enable it on both platforms given the rumors.

[MrJensenn]

Pixel count and physical size does matter, the sweet spot (by Apple's word) is called retina.
You can calculate it with a tool such as this: https://designcompaniesranked.com/re...s-this-retina/

I didn't like UW for gaming.
I am using a typical 2k 32" curved monitor which has enough height.
When using UW monitors I see them as being too low in height even though they have the same pixel count in height.

I'd want multiple task monitors for work but this is purely a gaming setup with YouTube and whatever on the side, but probably like 90% gaming

Definitely need multiple monitors for work or basically anything else

As somebody who hasn't been following the rtx 3000 series paper launch much, how difficult will it be for me to get a 3080 MSI Gaming X Trio by the end of the year? Looking at nowinstock, seems like MSI cards haven't been in stock in forever? Is MSI having way more supply issues than other companies?

Nvidia is the problem.

As is Sony for the Playstation.
Microsoft for the Xbox.
AMD for the Ryzen cpus.

basically nothing PC or Console related is in stock right now

odds of getting something depend on how much you're willing to pay over MSRP, and how lucky you are

49" monitor is the future man

before - 3x 27" and a 34":



after - 2x 27" and a 49":



no wire management yet

I NEED to vesa mount the 49", because my desk is too shallow and I can't line up all 3 monitors properly.

32:9 is amazing, and I'm averaging 120 FPS on max settings with the 3080

dropped my first 2k damage game in Apex with the new legend too

[iZZmatic]

Copped a 3070 from best buy last week. Waiting for it to arrive so I can pick up soon. First upgrade for my rig. Also bought a 4k monitor as well from best buy.

I'm very intrigued by the samsung g9. Looks like an amazing monitor

Im just not ready to let go of 163ppi for 108ppi

Maybe if LG made an OLED with that resolution i would be willing to sacrifice the ppi for better IQ and immersion

Maybe next gen if its something like 5,120 x 4,320 49" with the same curve and OLED. ~137ppi would be the ultimate monitor
22million pixels would be a lot less than 8k but still about 3x more than 4k

with dlss 3.0 seems very doable next gen

can confirm G9 is the GOAT monitor

I use it at 3840 x 1080p for work everyday since my poverty work laptop can't run at full resolution, and that's 81 DPI and still looks great

the 1000r curve is the biggest deal I think. I feel like I would hate a non-curved 49, but with that steep curve, it's just super immersive

Trying to decide which new GPU I should buy - gonna be upgrading to a 1440P 144hz monitor, but I'm not a hardcore gamer so I think I can get an RTX 3070 and rely on DLSS to keep up the framerates in intensive games.

Still tempted to throw some more $$$ in order to afford to the RTX 3080/6800 XT for future proofing - don't think I'll be considering the 6800 at the current price range. What are you guys getting?

Just grab the first thing thing that you can find in stock tbh

The price difference and performance between 3070, 3080, 6800XT really isn't huge
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just dropped like $500 on a new vesa arm, a kitchen countertop, some ikea chit

should be able to update and make my build look nice in like 2 weeks once everything arrives

[Destor]

There we go, this is a better height

[Garibaldi11]

^^ Is that a 4K TV lol?

The viewing distance seems a bit too close. IDK about you but I'd feel weird sitting that close to a big azz sceen, like my eyes would bleed watching and playing on it after a few hours lol.

I'd suggest looking into a 34 inch ultrawide monitor, keep the TV for XSX/PS5 perhaps. Gigabyte just released a 34 inch 3440x1440 144hz panel for $400!.... really tempting for the price!

It’s a 48” CX, yeah I’ll probably play around a bit with the distance but am not minding it currently

Bruh, that's the flagship monitor if there was one.

OLED. 120 Hz VRR @ 4K.
Both Gsync and Freesync certified.

Agreed on the distance tho.

Peeped a few videos on it.
Just realized these are Nvidia's "BFG TV's" that were demoed back at CES 2018...

I remember them being priced at something like $5000 lol.

Amazing how quickly the price went down.....It's Beauriful

[Edlupen]

Has anyone touched a 3080 yet? Hahaha

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Has anyone touched a 3080 yet? Hahaha

Quite a few of us in this section have been able to acquire ours. A couple guys have actually been able to get multiple.

[BUFUbrah]

Here is a poverty pic of my build from the other page, finally got all the parts.

[Fred87nc]

both a 3070 and 3080 on their way boyos. Bought the $570 msrp at $670 because Mexico prices last friday, then today I bought a $770 msrp 3080 evga 3xc ultra for $880. Going to try to resell the 3070 for maybe $100 bucks profit since I dont need it anymore and it hasnt even arrived.

my 10900k arrived today, also got a new kraken z63 and a h510 elite black case. My body ready for cyberpunk, on my odyssey g9 das it.

[Zoey79]

Yeah, I returned it for 1070, only had it a week so well within the 20 days from Amazon.

[RollingStones]

Depends on the setup. If you provide us a parts list, we can offer better advice

Most of the stuff nowadays runs through a program called "iCue" that Corsair makes, AFAIK

My CX750M psu decided to call it quits after 7 years.
Just after black friday as well

Ended up buying a RM650X V2. Also picked up a Noctua NF-A12x25 as they only had one left in stock.
Fine-tuned my fans now so that I almost have a whisper silent setup.

I must recommended FanControl if you guys haven't used it. It's super sweet.

Ikea sucks big ole donkeys

I'm trying to make one of those 6' R/Battlestations desk with an Ikea countertop, and 2x Ikea Alex drawers (like this):



Ikea keeps letting me put stuff in my cart and checkout, then they cancel the order because of not having stock

the nearest Ikea is a 2 hour drive away, and they say that one doesn't have stock... not worth running over to check

I spent like an hour getting automatic replies via phone, finally got a person, and he was like "oh yeah everything is out of stock now. just don't do anything and eventually you'll get a call saying its back in stock"

LOL wtf bro what are the odds. My cx750m died last night. I think I had it about the same amount of time and I am also very annoyed it was right after all the sales.

I pulled the tx850 out of my VR pc for now but it's not fully modular and I can't close thr back of my micro case now so that's fun. And now I have no vr pc.

The RM650X was as cheap as PSUs have been lately, approx 105 bucks pre-tax.
You guys in the US have it nice with the availability of seasonic and the likes for cheap when reading reviews on https://www.jonnyguru.com/

And I had been considering a PSU upgrade for a while since the CX750M wasn't silent by any means.
It's really smooth having an almost silent pc when I am using it all day with wfh and such.

[Fred87nc]

Made a huge mistake, couldnt decide quick enough on what motherboard to get (settled on the z490 maximus hero) , so I ended up ordering late, it will arrive monday, meanwhile I have all my new parts just sitting here. Anxiety is kicking in hard. Im PCless right now, and my desk a mess (cables all over the place)




Heard my doorbell ring this morning, rushed to open the door since maybe amazon got here faster, but no, it was just some phaggot that got the wrong house.
