    Help with 4k Choices

    Defintiley the 43" ROG STRIX XG43UQ out of that bunch just for the HDR1000 (or as some call it, proper HDR) Only slight issue with it is I'd personally find it a bit big but that is personal preference (4K 32" is the sweet spot for me) Upgrading from their you would just be looking at Mini LED...

    27" 1440p 75hz --> 144hz worth it?

    I would if I were you your gpu should handle it. If a game runs under it will just run as high as it can, no specific range with the normal range. G sync will probably only work within a range but it's usually fron about 48 fps so you should be fine.

    What is a good cost worth upgrade from a rx580

    Depends on budget anduse case, if low at used 1080ti would not be a bad upgrade. Higher budget and I'd probably be look ling at 3070 upwards

    Asus STRIX B650E-F with Ryzen 5 7600 - Wise to disable onboard iGPU?

    Yeah its not a permanant setting or anything like that. Switch it off and do some benching and let us know if it makes any difference or not.

    Asus STRIX B650E-F with Ryzen 5 7600 - Wise to disable onboard iGPU?

    No reason you shouldnt if you are OK with losing that fuctionality, I like having the option to use it as an extra Display Output in case I need to trobleshoot a GPU for whatever reason, or just an extra output if I need it. Not sure if there will be significant performance gains or not tbh.

    Monitor arm needed

    You would need to read the specs for both. I'm at work using a mobile so not straight forward for me to Google it for you right now.

    Monitor arm needed

    I find the Amazon Basic monitor arms (single and dual) to be fine with all the 32" monitors I've had.

    Asus X99-E Gen 3 16x PCI Mobo VS PCI Gen 4 RTX A4000 GPU

    Bottlenecks doing what? If gaming then there is nothing majorly significant between PCIE 3.0 and 4.0 GPUs but will depend on what CPU/GPU/Monitor resolution/frame rate you are using. Higher resolutions have less issues with CPU/GPU bottlenecks but that would apply to any setup. Biggest...

    EVGA GTX 1070 SC thermal paste replacement

    I'd just re-use the thermal pads if I were you. Just want to strip it down, clean up the GPU die with isopropyl alcohol and re-paste. Just take a note of the thermal pad thickness before you re-assemble in case you are still running into heat issues when you re-assemble but doubt you will be.

    I just don't get it

    Using the hdr calibration app for Windows 11 makes a difference. Not available for Windows 10 last time I checked. No idea if you are or not but duplicating the screen with a non hdr screen will probably disable hdr.

    Upgrading Nvidia Gefore 1080 Ti Option

    RTX 3070 or 3080 (or 40 series equivalent like 4060 or 4070) would be a solid upgrade from a 1080Ti IMO and should be fine with your PSU.

    GeForce® GTX 1650 SUPER - Which HDM Port

    In short, no. See if there is any firmware updates for your monitor if its slow to initialize. Or it could just be something in the monitor settings.

    Cable to hook up card from 7m away? DP? HDMI?

    You need to find out which version of hdmi it is for both devices. You will need both to support hdmi 2.1 and a 10 meter hdmi 2.1 cable to meet your needs. I'd probably go for a fibre optic cable at that distance. Hdmi 2.0 maxes out at 4k 60 I think.

    Upgrading graphics card - remove drivers first

    Yeah it will be different drivers. Uninstall drivers, turn off, install 4070, restart and install new drivers. You can use DDU to remove all traces of previous drivers if you want to be thorough.

    Faulty hdmi port can I use display port adaptor

    You can you just need to consider what you want to output to to confirm how good of an adapter you need. (HDMI 1.4, 20 or 2.1)

    ** Official Mayhems Development Log **

    Yeah Mayhems got back to me in March 2023 and confirmed XTR had been permanently discontinued which is a shame. They said there was a quality control issue with the supplier of the base components out of their control, it was causing a conglomeration issue with some of the product. My white XTR...

    Cheapest Gaming GPU for 4K 60FPS

    You don't need 16gb vram minimum for 4k 60 at all. My 3080ti easily gets over 60fps in Avatar and everything else I've thrown at it. Only exception is particularly heavy ray tracing in certain games (like alan wake 2) which you can simply lower those settings.

    Cheapest Gaming GPU for 4K 60FPS

    RTX 3070 is not bad for a consistent 4K 60 in most games I tried one with.
