Nvidia the new APPLE.

I just read several Reddit posts where fellow 4090 users are saying, "Well, I'll just get the 5090." This situation seems absurd. I don't blame Samsung; they shouldn't have to delay monitor development for Nvidia. It's quite annoying. Hopefully, I can use my 4090 for the heavy lifting but output it via the 7600. If anyone knows if this will work, please inform me.

I'll keep everyone updated. Later, I'll create a YouTube video to express my frustration and share my experience to prevent others from making the same mistake.

Those people don't seem to have read the info we aren't getting 5000 series this side of 2025 :p

But yeah it's odd Nvidia decided to stick with DP1.4 when DP2.1 was readily available which is why AMD chose to implement it on their 7000 series cards.

By the way, which 7600 do you have?

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that DP is optional on 7600 cards, e.g. Powercolor's 7600 Fighter says DP 1.4, but the Hellhound says DP 2.1. Similarly, XFX's Speedster says DP 2.1, but MSI's Mech DP 1.4.
 
One of the reason I switch from Nvidia to a 7900XTX, spending nearly 2k on a card to not have the latest display technology is ridiculous and definitely an Apple move. I can keep my 7900XTX knowing it will grow with display technology and I don’t have to spend another £1000+ and the cost of a monitor to get the new display tech.

ordered the hellhound DP 2.1 fml. hopefully 8x 4.0 pci E wont choke the 4090
 
Like you said. Nvidia know they have a following. They can skimp on things so you need to buy tue next gen. What nvidia don't understand is people buying the 4090 like cards will buy the 5090 and then the 6090 even if its just a bit better than the cards 1 tier lower than them. Thry don't need to keep things like high refresh rate hardware back.

Agree. More need to think about shopping around and not feeding into Nvidia’s monopoly.
 
Just got the new monitor, and it's amazing! I've had 34 and 49-inch monitors before, but the increase in resolution and the taller screen on this one make a huge difference. The only downside is Nvidia's DisplayPort. But, I'm getting my 7600 GPU on Tuesday, and I'm hoping that will solve the problem. I plan to use one GPU for rendering games and the 7600 for outputting them to make the most of this

You know what, I'm pretty sure Nvidia had all the info well ahead of time about the top-tier monitors out there. These monitors should definitely be supported by graphics cards that cost nearly 2k. Even the 7600, which is just a £250 card, can handle this standard. They could have gone for a tiered approach, which I'm not a fan of either, but maybe the 4090s only have DP 2.1. Well, live and learn, I guess.

actaully, not defending NV here, when the 4090 was developed/releaseed new DP spec was not fully finalised & certfied. where as when the 7900xtx was launch it much further along/completed. changing DP standards mid dev cycle is hard. its not just a new label. could require entire board redesign

so theirs a possiblity that NV wanted to keep to standards & release a working certfied product

Lots of potential problems but I wonder if it is possible to use PBP mode with the display using 2x inputs from the 4090 running at higher refresh - though in my experience you don't usually get 2 perfect side by side pictures and/or still refresh limited and/or a pain getting games to span both screens.

Would also have issues I suspect with any implementation of adaptive sync (though apparently the display has issues with adaptive sync anyhow).

sadly PBP is limited to 120hz

I just had to share this with you all – I recently bought a massive 57" G9 Neo monitor, and it's arriving today. I thought my trusty 4090 graphics card could handle it like a champ, but turns out it can only get me 120Hz because of its DisplayPort 1.4. Pretty disappointing, right? So, I went ahead and ordered a 7600 graphics card to make the most out of the monitor's 240Hz native refresh rate.

Here's the kicker, though: when I use both cards, they'll each run at 8x speed because of PCI lanes. I considered going all out with a 7900XTX, but the resale value just didn't add up, and I'd end up losing money.

So, a big shoutout to those who helped me figure this out, but I also have to say I'm a bit frustrated with Nvidia. This experience has convinced me to switch sides – no more Team Green for me.

AMD is samsung

Also Nvidia.

"Should we be concerned about the dodgy 12 pin connector on the 4090 that could be a fire hazard? - nah it'll be fine".

They could've made a few modifications and it would've been so much better.

Instead of a flimsy clip on the top, A solid clip on each side that doesn't engage until the connector is firmly seated, That would've solved the issue completely.

The current 12VHPWR connector by rights shouldn't have passed any type of QC.
