    *** HP Reverb G2 Owners Thread ***

    Anyone using/can recommend a displayport switch with their G2 (or experience with another headset)? I'm using four monitors usually so don't have a spare DP output so have to manually switch connections.

    So who is actually going to buy a 1070 or 1080 ?

    Still on a 670 so overdue for an upgrade. 1080 for me.

    Nvidia drops prices of GeForce GTX 980, GTX 980 Ti. But not for Europe

    Nice to see OCUK adding their extra markup though on top for the initial price gouge...

    The official Philips BDM4065UC thread

    Totally agree. The blacks which, let's face it, this game relies on, are really impressive and deep. I'm playing mine at 1920x1080 but the upscaling is really quite good. Set a wide fov and entering a station on this big screen is really impressive.

    Mine came Monday, set it up last night. Wow! Such a difference going from a 24" 1920x1200 to this, huge amount of space. My icons suddenly seemed a little lost all the way over there... Looks amazing in Elite Dangerous, even playing at 1920x1080 scaled up to keep my old GTX670 from chugging...

    Has anyone ever imported a monitor from Europe?

    Also remember the manufacturers warranties only cover repair. Any replacement doesn't have to be new so could well be a refurb.

    Has anyone ever imported a monitor from Europe?

    Europe does not have as stringent consumer laws as the UK. Sale of Goods Act doesn't apply for products bought outside of the UK. Warranty claims may have to be dealt with in country of purchase etc. You pay the money, you take the chance.

    I see other stockists having issues supplying these but OCUK have stock in now - and they've whacked the price up to take advantage of this. Nice one OCUK - confirms why I stopped shopping here...

    Anyone know if the stock issues to the UK are going to be cleared up soon. ETA's seem to keep drifting back by a week.

    4K 40 inch or 34 inch super wide?

    A 40" 16:9 is going to give you roughly the same physical horizontal width as a 34" 21:9. A 40" 3840x2160 panel can fit the 34" 3440x1440 panel inside its perimeter. You could watch the exact same 21:9 movie on the 40" panel at roughly the same physical size - yes, you'll have black bars but...

    Not going to offer 1:1 pixel mapping neither I would guess, native res or nothing. It's a tv, not a monitor.

    Ivybridge, Z77 Sabertooth, Corsair Vengeance - any issues?

    Looking at putting a i5 3570K build together for my son - going with the stock cooler for now and an Asus Z77 Sabertooth board. Was looking at the Corsair Vengeance for RAM (it's on the list - CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8 GB) - got 32 GB of the stuff in my rig but am using a H100 cooler so no issue with...

    X79 - Does it support Rapid Storage disk cache

    Intel ssd caching is not supported on X79. Asus have implemented their own, Marvel based caching on some of their X79 boards (P9X79 Pro, Deluxe and WS and the Sabertooth - not the ROG boards nor basic P9X79 though)

    Memory recommendations for SB-E setup

    Anyone want to offer recommendations for a 16/32GB SB-E setup? Looking for some overclocking headroom and good throughput but not extremes. Cheers!

    High Memory Usage on idle - windows 7

    Empty memory is wasted memory. Win 7 pre-caches and tries to make the most of what memory it has available to it. If it's needed for anything else it just drops memory pages out.

    8 core SB anyone?

    Desktop SB-E needed to stay at 130W max TDP, hence the fusing off of the two cores and supportive cache. Dies aimed at the Xeon badge and server market don't have such a restriction and so can be fully enabled. IB-E should hopefully allow a full 8 cores in the desktop parts because of lower TDP.
