So people would rather pay more for a 2+ year old card than get the same level of performance from a brand new card with 3 years of warranty. Because Nvidia.
Bingo.

Don't know yet, will let you know when it arrives. I would be surprised if I am able to downgrade from my current 4K monitor. All I play is single player games and I can't see how 1440p will be able come close to the image quality my 4K one has. But lets see, I will keep an open mind, end of the day as I play less games these days, I would be happy to go back to a lower resolution, it would mean spending less on GPU upgradesOoh, how is it?
It looked like a really good VA panel, and was one of the candidates for replacing my partner's old 1080p thing earlier in the year. We ended up with an MSI MAG272QR instead, which has been pretty good but has lacklustre HDR compared to the AOC... (also was about £100 cheaper and hit the market a few weeks earlier)
5700XT is faster than the 2070, and cheaper.
Its that "GTX 1080TI cheap" it should be selling like its the best thing since sliced bread, right?
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/hardware-accelerated-gpu-scheduling/What to expect when switching to the new GPU scheduler
The transition should be transparent, and users should not notice any significant changes. Although the new scheduler reduces the overhead of GPU scheduling, most applications have been designed to hide scheduling costs through buffering.
The goal of the first phase of hardware accelerated GPU scheduling is to modernize a fundamental pillar of the graphics subsystem and to set the stage for things to come… but that’s going to be a story for a another time .
Complete madness!! If I had to pick between the two I would buy a 5700XT even if the 1080Ti was priced less than £300.
But, I wouldn't buy any of them at this stage, wouldn't buy a 2070 Super either.
Doesn't the 1080ti have more vram?
I suspect these type of fundamental changes to the way the system communicates is in preparation for MCM graphics cards.
The most popular games are, at times, the lest graphically impressive.
Thought you said it was ****?Indeed
I will be playing Master of Orion later this morning.
Thought you said it was ****?
I know but as I recall you was very disappointed with it when it came out a few years ago. Was it fixed with an update?I have always liked the MOO games.

I have. Did not do much for me as I play slowly and don’t do any twitch gaming. I am all about single player games. Used to do mp a lot more in the past, but these days I prefer sp much more.There is a definite difference between 1440 and 4k and it all depends on the user. For me I was all about 4k until my 1440p 144hz monitor arrived and I never looked at 60hz the same again. Just couldn’t go back no matter how good 4k looked.
Have you tried above 60hz before? That can add A LOT more clarity. Once I experienced 144hz I was blown away and just couldn’t go back.

Maybe you missed a post or two, but the monitor is for my partner, not for me. I am just going to test it out and use it for a few days.If that’s the case I’m a little confused as to why you have gone the 1440p route after having 4k. Just to try it or downgrade the system?
4k will still look much sharper in my opinion especially if graphics is what you’re after over framerate. I still prefer high refresh even in single player slow paced games as it’s just much smoother, but all down to the user I guess.

Yes, I also went for this monitor to try it out. Could have gone for a cheap bog standard dell 60hz for her, but felt like it would be nice to go for this monitor so I get to mess about with it and have the option to use it when I want.
