Thanks, that worked! All overclocked up and running at 100 Hz now. I had assumed the new HDMI standards were out and supported

MY monitor's the: ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q 34" @ 3440x1440 In Windows the highest refresh option I'm allowed is 50 Hz. Any ideas why? I used the HDMI cable that came with the monitor and am plugged in to a GTX 1060. On the OSD settings when I go to overclocking it shows 50 and doesn't allow me...

What speakers would you recommend, PapaLazaru? I don't use headphones. Find them uncomfortable.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I've edited my original post: removed the sound card and the BD-Drive upgraded the CPU/Cooler/etc. bundle. Changed the case to the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Glass. Also removed the monitor from this. I'll worry about that later. My thinking around the...

Rroff, I've been thinking of getting the ASus ROG Swift PG348Q, but also considered the the Acer Predators (x34A and the 4k2k) one and the Dell UltraSharp UP3216Q. What didn't you like about the ROG Swift PG348Q?

As the title says, it was suggested to me on the hardware thread to not bother with the Creative Zx if I'm going for the Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero as it's got great onboard sound. Figured I'll check with the sound experts on this one. For gaming/movies is there little or no advantage? Also...

Yes sorry, meant to do i7 7700k. That was a mistake. Anything else? Are you sure the the onboard sound is as good as a Creative Zx?

Says so here: https://www.asus.com/uk/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-SWIFT-PG348Q/specifications/ Is this a fib? Perhaps it's 8-bit + FRC then? If it's not a 10-bit then my options are...

I've boiled it down to these two now. Looks like the Asus has wider colour gamut and uses 10-bit, although would be good to hear from anyone who knows whether there is a material difference. I know some HDR monitors are coming out but am guessing this will be a while and none of them seem to...

Hi guys, Looking for input on a new PC. Will be using it for work, gaming, Netflix. Total budget is around £3600. I'll be getting a Geforce Titan X (Pascal) off NVIDIA and a monitor so around ~£1900 as a budget works here: My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Creative Inspire A550 5.1...

Thanks, guys. Not too worried about GPU horsepower. I may just go with a Titan (Pascal) for now. After reading this review http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/acer-predator-xb321hk-uhd-monitor,review-33619.html I've narrowed it down to: Acer 4k2k 321hk. Apparently it is a 10 bit panel...

Looking for recommendations on a good monitor. Budget between £800-£1300, give or take. Mainly planning on using this for work, watching videos, and gaming. I mainly play Real-time Strategy - AoE, Starcraft 2, Spell force 3 (when it's out). Generally not an FPS gamer although I do play some...

Thanks btw. Running this on a formatted stick worked. I guess it needed the stick to be formatted.

My GTx 1060 is causing the screen to freeze with B2 showing on the bottom right corner. some googling reveals this is an error with trying to use a new card on an old BIOS -- literally everything from a GTX 660 to 970. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1887689/error-gpu.html But the...

http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/nvidia_gtx_1060_founders_edition_review/9 Here's one game where a single GTX 1080 doesn't even seem to be enough at 4K:

Bit the bullet and pre-ordered the MSI GTX 1060. Looked like the best choice of the lot given low-price (~£238), custom cooler with twin fans, and slight overclock.

it looks like, thanks to SMP, the 1060 MAY be better for VR, for those who intend to get a rift or a vive. basing it on a reads of these two: and...

Thanks. Any input on RMA quality of Inno/EVGA/Palit/Gainward?

About to get a 1060: 1. Not sure whether to get Inno3D on PReorder - Cheapest: £229 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inno3d-geforce-gtx-1060-compact-x1-6144mb-gddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-06b-in.html EVGA on PReorder (as have heard they have great service): £239...

What should I do? Pre-order the EVGA for £239? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/detail/index/sArticle/62036 (How long does it take usually?) Buy the Palit for £249? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/detail/index/sArticle/61941
