Would I be crazy going for a 7900XT? Price seems decent currently, 1080Ti getting a bit dated, especially to drive an OLED above 60hz.

7900xt is awesome, but it’s a Crappy deal in terms of for 100 more you get like 30% extra perf
So it’s not a good deal in terms the stack but for you a massive upgrade
Might be diff now so worth comparing cut vs xrx

Probably crazy going for an XT over an XTX. How I felt getting a 1080 and not a 1080ti. However I just upgraded from said 1080 to an XTX and zero regrets.

Budget pretty flexible, so I’ll look into an XTX, thanks. I just need to double check whether my planned screen will be too big or not for my desk.

42? Make sure you have at *least* 70cm depth, ideally 80/90cm. Unless you're a Mr Magoo boomer like me

50-60cm max I think. Maybe it’s too big

I run a PG42UQ on a 60cm depth and think it's a *little* bit big, thinking of one of the new 32's that are coming but the 34" AW OLED also seems a better fit atm on an arm (little closer and also the better gaming screen).50-60cm max I think. Maybe it’s too big

I can't make my mind up on a replacement monitor. Still running a Dell S2716DG at the moment, which only has G-Sync so no use for my new card either. I wouldn't mind a bigger monitor, but that also means stepping into either ultrawide or 4K. Then it starts getting pretty expensive.
I may end up getting another 27" 1440p 144Hz monitor but with Freesync as a stop-gap. Then find a better monitor further down the line. I have a 65" 4K TV attached to my PC also, mainly for Flightsim.

looking at the spec of your monitor it says it has a native refresh of 144. I’d give it go. Set your maximum refresh in Radeon chill to 143 and off you go.

He's a nice guy tbh, just fell in with the wrong crowd on gfx
It started with the pixel-peeping and went downhill rapidly from there......

If your using a aircooled card i would say around 80-100c on the hotspot is where you want to be, aib's will run cooler though, if you dabble in watercooling the hotspot is stupid low, i should know my WC 7900xtx MBA, peaks around 45 core and 59/65 hotspot in gaming load at 4k. if any 7900 series card goes past 100c upto 115c then you need to look at a repaste, if your not confident and you still have warranty on the card contact the support channels to arrange a RMA.

Def no more than 90/95c atm I'd say, or you'll have throttling problems in the summer (110c+)
