If you get a chance friends house or something do check out the crimson drivers they have come on along way since you used AMD drivers.

None of that fanboy stuff here please (but same as that)
The nVidia control panel couldn't be easier to navigate - its a fundamental treeview, it also opens instantly if not on a page that needs to do additional stuff like the 3D Settings one which needs to refresh some application stuff.
I'll give you that recent updates make AMD's one look better but my main concern is functionality looks are very secondary with a control panel.
Having used both very often, I can't say I favour one or the other. They both do what I need and both easy to navigate.

Well Siggraph is the day I decide on what I get.
AMD or NVIDIA.
Already got my Vega replacement kit ready to order.
FE is a placeholder Vega
I'm changing jobs so don't need a Threadripper or Skylake X anymore for production work, so decided shove that into a fancier monitor for gaming and other projects.
Its just getting better this thread ..i don't care for vega when we have banter/jokes like thisWinner Winner Chicken Dinner
Wow bet those monitors are nice, don't think I could ever bring myself to pay £1200 for a monitorWell Siggraph is the day I decide on what I get.

Watch this if you want and if you haven't already, it lasts a bit more than 30 minutes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=590h3XIUfHg&t=1860s
there is load of interesting info, and with what we know now it give a different perspective, compared to when he said those things. It's good to back to the old vids. I also think that Navi might come out quicker than everyone thinks.

I had the LG 34UM95 back when it launched, and I miss ultrawide so much, especially with a quality IPS panel. That monitor's drawback was bad input lag, and stuck at 60Hz. Been using normal 1440p 144Hz G-Sync and Freesync since then.
My main issue with the ASUS one is that obnoxious stand it has, it's going to take up so much space; and I usually have a sound bar below the monitor.
By the looks of it both AMD and nVidia are commencing with 7nm product tape outs - doesn't mean they are necessarily gaming GPU products though.
Don't think "Einstein" will be coming that quickly though as there are some really complex bits to the design. Navi is probably going to be a more iterative approach towards the same kind of ends so first generation of it might appear sooner.

I'm still running an ole NEC 3090WQXI, when this eventually dies (which might take some time) an Ultrawide is where I'll want to go, I'm a racing games fan myself and it lends itself to Ultrawide.

Exactly the same thing was said when the Frontier Edition prices were leaked................and they turned out to be true
If the cards were all in the same range it wouldn't look too out of place, sadly
i remember seeing $1200 for the air-cooled version... the card launched at 1000

Sounds like a plan alright! I'm glad companies have taken the effort to try and find a middle ground between high refresh rate and ultrswide.
Hopefully DP 1.4 is adopted soon so we can push refresh rate over that 100Hz limit. 1440p and Ultrawide 1440/1600p is a fantastic sweetspot. Add in a proper scalar into the monitor along with FlawlessWidescreen and WSGF and you're sorted for all types of games.
Never said the contrary, just going off the things Raja said back then, whether it will be pro or gaming market is somewhat irrelevant, the architecture will be coming quickly imo.
