LG 34GK950G, 3440x1440, G-Sync, 120Hz

The monitor lottery is hit and miss at the best of times.
You must have nerves of steel to import a single unit in from the US as it would have been handled and moved a fair bit during transit.
I don't like the whole 100hz overclockable to 120hz thing (and all the other ultrawide's that are doing the same workaround).
Basically they are running the g-sync module out of spec which in my opinion makes developing a fault over time far more likely.

BTW with that RGB back lighting anyone that's had one beer too many will think they have made it to the dance floor at the local nightclub.

@Baddass are there any firmware updates for the 34gk950g too ?
or coming in the near future ??

 

[Baddass]

I’m not aware of any but it’s possible there would be some at some point

Nvidia need to update their Gsync module, or possibly them opening up freesync support is the first sign that they are giving up on Gsync. Really no reason at all to get the Gsync version now.

Nope, the F works perfectly (I came from an XB271HU so know what a good Gsync implementation that is!)

The lack of stock is baffling, I would immediately buy a 34GK950F if there were any around.

Somebody isn't doing their job, that's for damn sure.

 

[deadpresidents4]

There should be a dedicated person for bulk orders or influencers such as the one they mentioned which wiped stock

gsync is still better than freesync, freesync has more overshoot when the refresh rate / fps is varying.

another thing is freesync doesnt use g sync with it and its not made for that. And if you use gsync you must have v sync enabled in the driver to have it work properly.
watch this https://youtu.be/MzHxhjcE0eQ?t=735

the frame pacing and inputlag is still lower with g sync if you get you target 120 fps.

but for the money and the latancy fix i probally would buy the F model too now i paid 1230 euro for my gsync model in november. and the F had 10ms more inputlag back than and you couldend have geussed back than they would fix that with a firmware and that nvidia would open up to freesync.

They have but you need some real deep pockets as no monitor with the newer G-sync module is going to be cheap (just another reason to embrace Freesync).

This isn't the first monitor to overclock this model G-Sync module, so this is not new territory. Maybe @Baddass or @PCM2 can comment on general failure rates of overclocked monitors?

i am just waiting to find out if it is 45 or 60 of each coming this month, and when they are coming this month JFYI

what sort of graphics card would you need to run that at max setting max speed

 

[Bugbait]

The 1080Ti is barely scraping through so 2080Ti I guess, depending on game of course.

 

[Btone]

ill take it the 1080ti will have no trouble running the 34gk950 maxed out

 

[The Old School Gamer]

Of coarse the more important metric to meet for smooth, tear and stutter free visuals is that your graphics card can maintain a frame rate above the LFC activation threshold of 48hz.

A 1080ti would have little problem with that at this res.

 

[snips86x]

Has anyone done photo editing on ths panel? How does the colour reproduction compare to IPS/VA? I'm potentially after something to replace both my monitors for 1 big one and utilize the split screen.

Depends on the fps you need. If it's closer to 100 then you may need to tone down some settings.

I know they have that one, but they need a new lower one, currently Gsync is not very good. You have out of date module OR ridiculous module, they need up to date module AND ridiculous module.
