I'm on 5950x and 4090, contemplating a move to 7800x3d. Seems like zen5 is a year away still, and I could easily upgrade as I'd have am5 and ddr5...

I recently upgraded from a 3090 to a 4090. It seems in one way this is a downgrade.... I run two 4k160hz panels, and a 1440p60hz panel. This ran fine on the 3090. On the 4090, there is what I can only assume is an arbitrary limitation that limits you to two monitor outputs if you run at 4k...

Good spot, I hadn't seen that!! I think I'd rather the non-P then, because that feels like a "we've reduced power usage by reducing peak brightness to satisfy efficiency legislation" type of change.

Looking on LG's site there seem to be two.... identical? versions of this montior. The "non-P" version they say OCUK stock, but on OCUKs website I only see the P version.... but I'm really not sure what the difference is? Any ideas?!

Everything I've heard about vodafone's network is negative :D Giganet offer 3 months free and don't hold you to contract so for me it was "meh, worth a shot". Some of the order process felt a bit of a mess, but the product is solid. I mean at £40 for 1000/1000 it feels good value. Pretty sure...

For me, I went from Vermin Media Gig1 (with it's paltry 50mbit upload) to Giganet 1000/1000 on Cityfibre partly for the upload, partly for the faaar better level of service. I'm getting 3ms pings and waaaay less jitter. It's a completely different class, and Vermin Media can burn if you have...

Trying to extract data from the ONT, as I'm looking to change it out for an SFP GPON module. There is a jtag header on the board, unpopulated, I can get a console and get to U-Boot but kind of stuck. Full boot has a login/password I can't get around. This is perhaps beyond my skills :D

Hmm I really like the look of 7950x (currently on 5950x) but the platform costs are insane. It seems that you're better off going 2 DIMMs than 4, and to get 2x32gb DDR5-6000 is ~£970. Why is it that new DRAM generations seem to never be worth it, always crazy pricing for marginal performance.

Since getting my 27GP950, my old ROG Swift (1440p144) is to the left where my 2nd monitor used to be, on the same cable that was running my old 2nd monitor (1440p60). I have noticed that flickering to black every now and again, but had assumed it was that crappy cable and have not yet bothered...

Interesting, I wonder how many people are suffering this on a 10 series card without DSC? Hitting 4k120 without DSC do you need to use 4:2:2?

If you change the colour depth to 4:2:2 you should be able to hit 4k60hz. The monitor you had before was 1440p60hz which is doable on HDMI 1.4. For Desktops, nVidia 10 series (1060, 1080, etc) and later have HDMI 2.0, and can do 4k60 over HDMI. nVidia 30 series (3060, 3080, 3090 etc) have HDMI...

I haven't seen any of these black screen issues, I have heard with the GN950 that people struggled to hit 160hz with the included cable? FWIW my GPU is a 3090. I have previously noted when connected to my TV by a 10m HDMI cable, that where I did get occasional dropouts at 4k60 4:4:4 on the old...

So go into your fee free student overdraft and buy it elsewhere, with the refund covering it, or cancel your OcUK order and order wherever it's in stock first, this is very much a you problem let's be fair. Them taking the money at time of order is normal, most retailers would do that.

Ah, fair enough, that info was about 7 years out of date :D

Spending the last £750 of your student loan on a monitor and not being able to afford another £750 while you wait for the refund (e.g. you've already maxxed out your student overdraft and credit card) is not a sound financial decision. In any case, not taking payment up front would be far more...

So, I've swapped out the stand on mine for one from a BenQ PD2700Q (which is now on my wall mount above the main monitor where my 3rd monitor lives) and much more happy with it, way less depth, it actually moves down all the way, and swivels left and right. Why do high end monitors come with...

I'm definitely not impressed with the stand, it's about a foot from the wall and minimum ~125mm off the desk. Will have to look at alternative stand options.

Thanks, I think I will stick with HDMI, 4k120 @ 12bpp is probably fine. I have an Index (DP), and two other DP monitors (RoG Swift and a BenQ 1400p60 IPS panel), so no free DP anyway without unplugging the Index constantly. I was about to calibrate the monitor but it's very annoying as with...

I thought the point of HDMI2.1 was that I could do 144hz without DSC? 48GBps of bandwidth over DP1.4's 25GBps, but it seems to cap at 120hz, which DP could do anyway? I guess it's the fact that I can do 120hz at 12 bit colour? might just leave it like that, I don't have enough displayports...

I managed to get one!! Anyone can recommend a not-stupidly-priced HDMI 2.1 cable?
