spatular Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 yeah that's a good point, i'd be worried about that too, people are starting to use oled for monitors these days though so interesting to see how they get on. amd gpu anouncement stuff later today, probably be disappointing but hope they can bring some sensible pricing at least (also probably unlikely) also want a new pc case because i've seen these and am strongly considering transplanting my pc https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/pop/pop-air/rgb-green-core/ i don't like my current case but there wasn't any good options at the time because cases with space for a cd-drive are rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 edit - new amd cards made to seem like a bargain at $1000, what a state were in with gpu pricing. Be interesting to see if theyre any good when the reviews come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Speaking of OLED for PC, LG have a 27 inch OLED monitor. 1000 dollars, not sure what it is over here https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gr95qe-b As mentioned last page, I've been using a LGCX as a monitor for productivity and also gaming. It's gotten pretty intense usage over the past 18 months, with all the mitigations you're supposed to have on it. But it does have burn in, from google chrome. There's some damage in the top right, but also the top in general tho it's quite faint (possible Strive also contributed). You can see it in greys and purples. Grey and purple might not seem like the worst colour to show the burn in but it tends to be the colour of the sky quite often in GoW Ragnarok I guess what I'm saying tho is mainly that I don't think the price of this OLED reflects the use of it for productivity purposes, which imo these screens don't seem built for. Unlike mixed content like gaming, where it will last longer. Also I'm fairly sure that price would straight up get you a 48 inch LG TV anyway.

one-armed dwarf Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 8 GB vram is enough for a 3070, right? 10GB for a 3080? No problemo. Hold on 💀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Another nvidia ripoff I can see the 5000 series just being a sort of refresh of 4000, with better prices and power effiency At least I think that would be a good idea. The power draw of new GPU and CPUs are insane (new AMD stuff goes up to 95C) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I've said before they need to get the power draw and heat under control. It's always easier adding more power when you're adding another cm thickness to it. Lower the profile, lower the costs, lower the draw. Keep the capabilities.

Maf Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hi I wanted to show quick that I got myself a new PC with 4090 as a christmas present to myself whoa Tried Portal RTX and was confused at first because it was freezing a lot. Then I realised I had it 4K native lol. Drop the resolution and yes it looks pretty sick. Going to restart RE4 Remake and continue Alan Wake 2 next. Just waiting to download. Now I just need a better monitor I think (And to look in to how to do cable management it's messy down here) but that can wait a until i see a good deal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hi maf I have the same 4090, but with a 7700x. A bit dusty right now. Was messing around with power limits the other day and found that I could run Portal rtx at nearly the same framerate (like 4 fps difference) with a 75% power limit, which brought it down to like 350W (which is still a hell of a lot of power) from the ~400 it was hitting. Mainly did that due to concerns over the cable issues people report. In this thread I mention frame gen looking weird, but having used it myself I can't actually see the artifacts and it does look the same. You do notice the input lag though unfortunately. It's a gross amount of money to spend on gaming and I felt weird about it (bought it in January this year) even tho the outlay coincided with a bonus and I don't have any vices outside gaming really. But at least it let me load the textures in Forspoken, an amazing game... Alan Wake II was very nice on this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Yes, it's very expensive. Especially for me because I had to buy a whole new system. I was looking at upgrading, but it seemed like i needed so many new components and then having to find someone to build it for me anyway I said fuck it. I also hit a savings goal last month while also thinking about what am I actually saving for. It's nice to be reasonably secure but what is the money actually for. Turns out video games is the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Can I ask for opinions on these monitors. From what I can tell everyone says the Alienware is the best monitor https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alienware-AW3423DWF-Inch-WQHD-3440x1440/dp/B0BHTDDMDN/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3ITYM7VT4KDEL&keywords=gaming%2Bmonitor&qid=1704020343&refinements=p_n_feature_thirteen_browse-bin%3A29247094031|30059408031&rnid=29246936031&s=computers&sprefix=gaming%2Bmo%2Ccomputers%2C69&sr=1-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.16386313-b7bf-4b29-bfa1-0d3d5f3a0dd5&th=1 However what I really miss is HDR, true blacks and I really like 4K on a gaming monitor so I quite like the look of this LG because it does all those things. The reviews are good but no one recommends it for some reason. Is there something I'm missing? I think this looks better. Roughly same price, too https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Odyssey-Quantum-LS32BG850NPXXU-Monitor/dp/B0BS1MPTB7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9J1A530VPB0S&keywords=Samsung%2BOdyssey%2BNeo%2BG8%2BS32BG85&qid=1704020786&sprefix=samsung%2Bodyssey%2Bneo%2Bg8%2Bs32bg85%2B%2Caps%2C73&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.23648568-4ba5-49f2-9aa6-31ae75f1e9cd&th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Both those screens do HDR, the image quality on the DWF can sometimes be even higher rated than a TV from what I heard. But I've tons of reports of burn in on DWFs, cause of the QDOLED stuff. People used them for things like WFH and saw permanent damage after 700 hours (which is not a long time). They have worse image retention prevention than an LG TV does. I had one in the cart a few months after my 4090 and changed my mind reading all that stuff. There's lots of new monitors just on the horizon also, 4k high refresh rate stuff, so it's a bad time to make a purchase like that But frankly, I would probably even still look at getting a 42 inch LG OLED TV. Wouldn't go near Samsung. With PC strong burn in mitigation is a must, if you plan on using this as a PC monitor you have to accept that it will be a bigger stress test than a console due to static elements. You should probably ask these questions on pc gaming/oled subreddits though Anyway a 4090 drives 4k 120 very very well. It's like looking through a glass at times, was playing FFVII Remake on 4k 120 OLED and it's really a huge leap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Fair enough. I guess I'll wait for later if there's new monitors coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 If you're worried about burn in, set your task bar to disappear unless you hover over it (and turn your monitor off when you aren't using it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Also set dark mode on your PC, and if you use web browsers try and do it full screen cause the icons for websites can burn in quite easily (especially youtube) It will be great to finally have a technology that doesn't require this level of babying. It's not as much an issue for consoles admittedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 time for a pc upgrade https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/asrock-b760m-pg-sonic-wifi-ddr5-pcie-5-lga1700-4291312 more seriously i would like an upgrade, a 5800x3d and 4070 super would be nice but i don't know, pretty pricy, would have to stop buying too many games to justify the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 I saw on Digital Foundry there's a mod you can download that adds FSR3 (AMD's frame generation tech) in to RTX cards. Meaning that if you have a 30 series card, as I do, you can use that because I can't run DLSS3, and then play things path traced or just get a better frame rate when using RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
