The Galaxy Hall of Fame 780Ti and Korean Monitors

Salutations fellow constituents!!!!!!!!!! :D  :D  :D  ;)

 

I am building a gaming Pc and I'm looking for some information on the the Galaxy 780Ti Hof and Korean monitors,

 

Firstly the Hof cooler with the dual copper aluminium design or whatever does it do a good job of cooling the card? I'm not too troubled by sound levels, but more about performance, I understand that this is one of the fastest factory overclocked cards you can buy does that mean that there is not much room to overclock yourself? I hear that the uber mode ramps the speed upto 1100 something Mhz.

 

And to the Korean Monitors,

 

I'd like to get my hands on one of the 1440p overclockable monitors, but as there are many korean sellers I am not sure who to go with, could any of you recomend a few seller that you've had good experiences with? also the pixel perfect edition says that there may be a little backlight bleed, are there any ways to reduce backlight bleed or are there any methods that can be used to reduce it should I receive a monitor with such a issue. Finally which of the Korean brands should I go for? so far I have read good things about the Yamakasi Catleap, the Qnix 2720 evo ii and the X-star Dp2710 ( I know most of them use the same panels, with exception to the panel type)

 

please note that I do live in australia, and that some pricing information may be quite different ( cause everything is crazy expensive over here)

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this post!!! :)  :)  :)  :)

yes the Hof Cooler and the aliminium casing does improve performance and cooling, the best monitor in my oppinion is the ASUS VG248QE 24" Widescreen gaming monitor

With a 780Ti, I would get whatever cools best if you're not watercooling. From what I understand, the Asus cards are very good at cooling the GPU. With overclocking, it is all about the chip. Generally if the chip can run at 1.1 ghz from the factory, it will overclock fairly well. If I was buying a 780Ti right now I would get a matrix though I don't know where or if those are even out.

With 1440p, I would buy a non-Korean monitor. Though if you're on a budget, the QNIX pixel perfect whatever is good ( from what I've heard).

Not sure on the monitors, but the HOF cards are pretty good and leave a decent amount of room for user overclockability.

The Asus is 1080p, I was looking for a 1440p since I'd be using a 780 Ti, the main reason I'm considering the Korean monitors is that they seem to be IPS and PLS panels that you can overclock to a higher frequency plus their quite attractively priced, is the Vg248qe the one with G-sync?

I have two qnix 1440 monitors. They can't really overclock much and I preferred to keep them st 60 Hz si that adaptive vsync could actually work. A single 780 Ti will not give you consistent 60 fps at that resolution unless you lower settings.

As for how I got my monitors, I used the seller red_hat or something like that. The first one had a lot of backlight bleed, but I got it for $280 and decided to keep it as ny second monitor. My main one cost me about $360 and had no backlight bleed, but it does have a very warm color tint to it. Neither had dead pixels. I think it's luck honestly on the quality you'll get from them. Also, one very important thing is that the monitors are ugly, cheaply made, bulky, and come with terrible stands.

You can now find Asus' 1440 monitor for under $500 easily. I would spend the extra $100 or so to get a much better built monitor.

Thrive on change. Embrace volatility.
