  1. Yes, because the second PCIe x1 slot is disabled. Took me a long time to figure this out then I read this .
  2. That's so not true. But thanks for the input.
  3. Then I'll have to deal with wires and an extra box to have around..I prefer the XONAR.
  4. It's the most recent XONAR stx 2. So I should put the wifi adaptor and XONAR in two separate PCI x1 slots and then put the gtx 980 into the 16x slot.. That way the gtx 980 will run at 8x?
  5. Correction, the Asus XONAR sound card is installed on the 16x PCI lane not the 8x
  6. Hi I have the 2600k i7 processor with the pz68 pro gen 3 motherboard. I just ordered the gtx 980 and after watching line's latest video, I became more confused. I currently have installed the following on my motherboard: WiFi adaptor PCI X1 ASUS XONAR PCI X8 So, will my gtx 980 work? And if so at what bandwidth? Ps. Can someone be very knowledgeable on the subject reply please , no guesses or assumptions! Thanks
  7. I ordered the PG278Q, simply because IPS is more of a TV than a monitor, the only scenario where you would use it as a monitor is probably if you are a professional digital artist or alike. The 34UM95 is amazing beautiful, but can't support higher than 60hz refresh rates. The TN panel is a premium high end TN, and viewing angles when considering a single monitor setup are just stupid. Get the PG278Q, has much much more to offer, 3D and G-Sync. So it is future proof.
  8. Alot of people ask that question, the answer is so simple.. What do you do with a monitor?.. You're welcome.
  9. Having tried both products I woud always always always go with corsair. Razer seems to win when it comes to design and sales but when you compare build quality, technology and durability, anything else is better. It is like Apple with their amazing design vs HTC / Samsung.
  10. Good point, but I need a monitor. I guess I can push the order a few weeks, I am certainly not in a hurry. Thanks
  11. Because I am waiting for the GTX line release/launch and I don't have a monitor. Getting anything other than this monitor would be a waste of money for me in the long term. No point in investing in an older technology to satisfy my needs for only a few months. I hope that makes sense.
  12. Yes, I understand that, but if the signal is coming from a DVI or HDMI then it is possible to use a DVI/HDMI to DP ACTIVE converter. Thanks
  13. Thanks, that actually helps. So I would be able to run 1080 120hz using a signal converter box? (DVI graphics card to DP monitor).
  14. Upon further reading on other forums, apparently it is possible to run 1080p at 120hz using a DVI-D to DP adaptor. I could be wrong however.
  15. Yep, that is true. But I just want a really good monitor, and this is it for me. The only game I play is pretty much CS, which requires very little in terms of GPU. But I want that 120hz at least for the time being.
  16. Yes true, but I am willing to wait a few months, not in a hurry.
  17. Because I don't have one.. and this is the best one atm.
  18. Gtx 560 Ti. Selling it and ordering possibly Gtx 880 Ti later on
  19. I am not concerned about G sync for now. I just want to run 1440p at 120 or even 1080p at 120 surely? I have dvi and hdmi on my GPU
  20. My GPU also has a DVL, how about a Dp to dvi convertor?
  21. Hi I am planning to purchase the new Asus Swift monitor to he able to run at 1440p 120hz (also want the option to go up to 144hz) however my graphics card only has an HDMI input and the monitor only has a displayport input. So: 1. How do I get that resolution and refresh rate with what I have? (use an hdmi to displayport cable??) 2 . Since I am planning to sell my graphics card and only rely on my CPU for graphics in the future to upgrade, would I be able to achieve this resolution and refresh rate using say an hdmi to displayport (bare in mind I have an hdmi input on my motherboard) I am only confused as 1440p at 120/144hz is something new for me and I can't find anything else online.
