Different AA's

The difference was from 48 fps with 4XSSAA to 78 fps with FXAA and I can't see any difference. In fairness, even at 48 fps, the game plays very smooth and is very responsive.

I can't speak for UHD, but I found that with games that have a lot of motion and you're constantly moving FXAA is more than enough, even sometimes AA just isn't needed. I'd say that applies to UHD even more.

I'm still so torn though, I love IPS displays and think the Asus PB278Q is awesome looking, but I would prefer to have UHD.

Why are the IPS UHD's so darn expensive.

Price aside, the IPS models aren't even worth getting at the moment. I had the Dell 31.5" for a few weeks and returned it as DisplayPort MST is buggy, still has major issues even after these display have been out on the market for over 6 months.

This Samsung 28" is a single tile monitor though, doesn't use MST which is a first for 4K via DisplayPort. Hopefully Samsung is using the same controller in their upcoming UD970.

Hmmmmm. I've been aiming for the AOC, and hopefully it doesn't need MST either.

fps you don't need AA at all but games like Civ 5, a little works. You could get away with all AA off in truth and not really notice the difference and would have to look hard to see jaggies.

You vile tempter!

It's hard deciding what monitor to get. Especially since I want to compare this to the AOC, and Asus. They're not expected until June though.

Either way I can't wait to play 8-bit indies at either 1440p or 2160p

Haha, I am a bit of a retro geek and would love some Elite in 4K Shame it isn't supported but a little fiddling might get it going

My Dell IPS isn't a patch on the Sammy UHD if that helps. Games look ****ing awesome

Do you have a photos of them next to each other for colours and viewing angles?

The Dell has been sold and I am now running a 120Hz 1080P 3D as well as the Sammy.

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Aw what a pity.

I can't wit for reviews to compare the Sammy, AOC, and Asus.

Yep, it will be nice to have some choice as well. I am pleased as punch with the Sammy but the others could be better/worse and reviews will help with that

Any luck with CS?

Are you seeing this issue with your titan SLI setup?

 

[Madmuzza]

How long before we start seeing these things doing 120hz?

No bud thankfully. I wonder if it is because of the cards age?

Edit: read a few more posts and happening on 780 Ti's as well. I have had my Sammy a few weeks now and not had that issue at all. Strange one but obviously affecting a few peeps.

I would say that the speed at which 4K has been taken up by users has court out the likes AMD and Nvidia.

New board coming out which slot would I use to run the monitor?

Sorry to sidetrack your Question bud, but according to that screenshot - 4,000 pixels on the vertical axis??? You'd think they would be a little bit more accurate in their marketing gumph wouldn't you.

Not 100% sure I understand the question. But to run the monitor, you could plug into either of the two slots that are highlighted in the orange rectangle, which are the DP1.2 and the HDMI 1.4a ports.

Which one is the the DP?
