Thanks guys, seems like the new cable has solved my issues with the 6800XT (bar one, it's liveable with!). Thanks

Sorted I after reading this I realised that my astro amp has optical input and USB so optical from TV to amp and USB from pc works perfectly.

The 3090 has more CUDA cores, more ray tracing cores, more than double the GDDR6X VRAM, a wider memory bus and memory bandwidth, and a slightly higher memory clock then 3080 so if you buy 2x 3080 that's still only 20gb Vram compare to 24gb and Nvidia made a announcement on January 1, 2021, ends SLI support. With RTX on you burn more Vram so what's the point if you have to turn off RTX on a game that supports it limited by ram.

I dont think he was advocating buying 2 3080s! Just that a 3090 costs twice as much for 10% more performance 
Probably a little more than 10% to be fair but for me better off saving the extra cost towards the next gen of cards if they turn out to be actually buyable of course...

totally agree on all your points, I don’t understand why people don’t get this , the 3090 is so much more than just gaming
end result is still twice the price of 3080 for just 11-12% better performance..
for this minimally improved performance it should cost around 20% more than 3080 not twice more.
most the money spent on it is wasted (for gaming) if 3080 is not good enough,maybe better wait for next gen cards,instead of paying 2x for such minimal performance improvements.

only gaming side is being discussed here..
and again , for gaming it only has around 10-12% better performance than 3080 yet costs twice more money.
every logical person concludes it’s a poor value card for gaming.
it’s not even debatable!

Who exactly would benefit from the 3090? Video editors, 3D artists and the like??
Why are we still arguing 3080 vs 3090... this argument should be over by now lol. No one can argue the fact that price to performance for a 3090 is terrible compared to the 3080, for gaming. I get 60FPS on Control with maxed out settings, ray tracing on high, and on the CX it feels smooth and playable. With a 3090 I'd get 65 FPS instead... which would be a giant waste of money - I wouldn't even notice the difference. However 3090 is much easier to get in comparison to a 3080 which is basically nonexistent now, so if you have the money for it, go for it.
For getting sound from the TV into your PC, I bought https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-c...ech+pcie+5.1+sound+card&qid=1611233450&sr=8-2, and plugged an optical cable from the TV out to the PCIe card optical in. Then went to sound control panel, selected the SPDIF recording device,s, set it to 48khz, and enable "listen to this device". It works brilliantly, no drop outs or anything, and I can just use my USB dac, etc. as normal.

I understand your point of view on the price of a RTX 3090 for just +12% performance it's not worth the price if you came from a 3080, the price of a 3080 is from £649 - £755 depend on what brand, the RTX 3090 price from £1400 - £1799. But the RTX 3090 has more Vram and CUDA cores, ray tracing cores, to justify the price range for that card and for those like me coming from a 1080TI - RTX3090 the Effective speed +66% but coming from a RTX 2080TI is only +28% it still worth the price of RTX3090 with 24gb vram IMO.
Depending if you're a deep-pocketed gamer who values pure performance over actual price-to-performance value
The LG 48CX was design to be a desk TV/monitor. so don't understand your point of view but some members like me have hop for bigger screens to game on 55/65/77inch on this CX owners thread
An OLED is top of the range it delivers excellent picture quality also superior 4k compare to a pc monitors. The highest number of dimming zones you’ll get on a high end LCD/QLED with FALD is about 600. A long way short of the 8 million completely independently dimmable pixels an OLED hasDidn't you say you own a RTX3080!

like I said I’m big fan of OLED screens and owned many OLED devices,I know all about OLED superiority so not sure why you bring up the technical features?
In case of this TV the main cons is it's size as PC monitor on a desk,yes it’s doable but you will need extra deep desk 80+ c, + preferably the panel wall mounted
it was NOT designed to be on a desk lol well only on LG advertising poster
you are saying you don’t understand my point about size? which is really strange because it’s all over this exact forum,Reddit,youtube etc since it’s a valid point.. again some people get around it but not everyone.
Still I was willing to buy it and try it,until I heard about them making 42” later this year. so I definitely prefer 42 even if it’s more expensive than 48.
this video is just another example of 48” size issue :

Another YouTube idiot TheTechChap that desk is so, so small no wonder he got an headache from a 48cx sitting that close and then he makes a rant about the reflections on the screen if he did his homework on OLED it's a glossy screen so it's going to pick up the window light behind him, people like him have no common sense
If you want to listen to rants posted on other forums that's your choice this is a CX owner Thread and most members here have done their homework only you question the 48CX is not desktop use but you don't own one! I use a 55CX for desktop gaming so you think 48inch is too big!
You mean phones,tablets you own not the same as an OLED TV because you said you own a QLED TV

He seems happy as Larry with it initially as well then almost comes up with reasons to get rid of it, as you say one being his own desk which is easily solved and using reflections as another excuse.

He does say in the video it's a 60cm deep desk so can't say I am surprised

His main purpose was advisement the monitor he was using and he must have seen the OLED have a glossy screen when he took out of the box. Like I said another YouTube rant idiot

Yup you need a nice deep desk with it for sure, my nose is 75cm away from it (aligned with the exact centre, maybe slightly above) and I wouldn't like it to be any closer!

You mean phones,tablets you own not the same as an OLED TV because you said you own a QLED TV again not the same as OLED TV.

Maybe you will find more rants about it on Reddit, OLED is glossy screen best to stick with your QLED TV
So you are saying just because you bought a OLED TV now you are some form of god and you know everything and everyone who complains is stupid?
Ok..the issue is the SIZE,Not the panel technology! LCD,OLED, or whatever,the 48” is too big and uncomfortable for many standard desk setups!
You keep repeating you don’t own it as if it needs to be specifically an OLED
I have a 55” QLED that cost same as LG’s top of range OLED at the time, so I have a good idea if the size is comfortable for desk use or not!you will need a very wide desk,like 80 CM at very least + wall mount the TV to be able to use it comfortably as a monitor,simple as that.
Advertising a niche £1500 monitor that is sold-out and out of stock every where?His main purpose was advisement the monitor he was using and he must have seen the OLED have a glossy screen when he took out of the box. Like I said another YouTube rant idiot
Unlikely.. it’s like advertising an RTX3080 FE..if you watch his original CX video he was loving it,this is a follow up video and imo his honest genuine experience.
again I don’t care about reflection part,or any other criticism he had,only post it because of size/distance issue.
It’s not great for all setups.and not everyone can/want change their whole desk/setup to use a 48” TV on it.
ofcouurse I’ll never go and pay same money for a LCD monitor,but I will wait for a 42” CX (or better).
when 42” arrives,no one will be buying the 48 as monitor.I’m pretty sure about it.
Yep, I first tried it on a 60cm desk and for me games were unplayable but changed the desk to a 90cm and its perfect for me

The problem with the LG OLEDS is the fact that you need an HDMI 2.1 card to run it @ 4k 120hz VRR. So if you buy an LG OLED you need to spend at least another £650 on a gfx card (unless you buy a 4k TV to run 1440p). 3080's you cant buy easily so take the plunge and go £1500 for a 3090. So to play OLED's at native resolution you need to spend £2k minimum. Expensive purchase if you cant get or afford a 3080 or above for 4k.
