Go click on the post and find out. You sensitive ****
That is not a grudge. It is lols though
Could not handle the potato resolution any longer. I mean even mrk and Nexus aka the ultrawide is life boys kept the 4K monitor over it. All you need to know really
Not really for 4k reasons though
DLDSR was nearly as good as native 4k imho. Main reasons were because bigger screen area and 240hz being noticeable, of course 4k is nice but would have no problems going back to 1440 tbhNot really for 4k reasons though
No chance. Never going back to 1440p. Did it once and that was because I went oled. Never again!

To be honest the two things I haven't noticed much coming from 144hz and 1440p is the 4k resolution and 240hz.
Neither have seemed that big of a jump to me.

So neither the increased resolution or the refresh rate have made a difference... And you haven't used HDR.
Sounds like it was a good upgrade to me!
How far away do you sit from the monitor?
Yeah
Opethdisciple does surprise me. Not sure but I think he had a crappy TN monitor before? Should have been a mahoosive upgrade!
People went from a the Alienware 34" Ultrawide QD-OLED to this monitor and noticed a big enough difference to want to keep it. And that was like one of the best monitors out there for a while.

Haven't had much time with it yet due to the weather. As we move in to winter will get through my gaming back log.
We checked this with NVIDIA and confirmed that while in theory it could be possible, it would require development and testing as each screen is carefully configured in collaboration with the display manufacturer. It's not as simple as just enabling things on the scaler i'm afraid. There's no plans to retrospectively add G-sync features to existing screens that may use the MK9810 scaler already I'm told, and it's likely to be costly for manufacturers to do that as well. I think it's even less likely on OLED panels where very few of the G-sync features would actually be available of relevant (only really G-sync VRR and maybe Reflex Latency Analyzer. Pulsar, Variable Overdrive and ULMB 2 are not possible on an OLED in their current form as they're designed for LCD's)

Well, with this sale + student discount + dell's voucher the aw3225qf ended up costing 750 quid..
The screen has arrived, it can handle tarkov fine so far with a 7900xtx and 7800x3d but I did not fully test it just yet..
One thing I can't figure out, and could not find on google (yet) while researching about it, which is, if I use all four screens, the aw3225qf would be locked to 120Hz no matter the cable or port being used. The other tree screens are 2x1440p set to 60hz, and another 1080p also set to 60Hz. If I unplug one of those three screens, the aw3225qf would then run at 240hz. It needs to be unplugged, just switching it off does not have any effect.
Would that be a normal behaviour? If yes, well, the aw3225qf is going back and I will carry on using the DWF.

Dude, give me some time to set it up and play some games and complain about how I can't see a difference between it and my old TN panel first before low balling me like that man!
