@Dedayog, extremely good point. I don't download anything in 4K, I get everything in 1080p, and I have never heard a grumble from the wife or kids, so it must be ok

So to answer you backwards a bit, remote will require a good passmark score on the CPU in order to transcode on the go. That A4-7300 is around 1500, which isn't the greatest. You might get away with one remote stream of 720p. If that's all you want, great. Personally I tried to go a bit more then I needed at the time to give myself the headroom. The X4 you mentioned shows a score of 3426. So two streams would be comfortable. Here is the guideline I go by: 4K HDR (50Mbps, 10-bit HEVC) file: 17000 PassMark score (being transcoded to 10Mbps 1080p) 4K SDR (40Mbps, 8-bit HEVC) file: 12000 PassMark score (being transcoded to 10Mbps 1080p) 1080p (10Mbps, H.264) file: 2000 PassMark score 720p (4Mbps, H.264) file: 1500 PassMark score Someone else can comment on the limitations you may have with Linux. I've automated my Plex server with Sonarr/Radarr and I grab with NZBGet so not sure if you're going the automation route and how well anything plays with OS other then Windows.

I also may not have two HDMI available on this card. I think its 3xDP 1xHDMI if I am not mistaken.

Thanks for the reply. I will try to switch them both to HDMI to see if that remedies the issue. I should mention this is the monitor itself being set to sleep and being woken up, not the PC itself. Would that still apply here?

No ideas?

So I have a problem with my dual monitor setup and I am now getting annoyed with not being able to find the solution. I bought these two just over a year ago, and originally I had them hooked up to a EVGA 980 FTW - now they are connected to an NVidia FE 3070 - and I am getting the same issue. When the monitors go to sleep and then wake, they flicker for a good 5-10 seconds. I have tried swapping cables, reset both monitors and messed with all sorts of settings with no luck. I recently reset the settings again and the problem went away, then returned. The way my setup works is generic Dell 24inch on left side, connected through DP to my work laptop, then middle and right side are the LG 27's. They are connected via DP to my 3070 main rig, but I switch the input to HDMI on the middle one 27 in order to use it for work and switch to DP to my main tower when work is done basically. I thought it was that HDMI connection somehow , but even unplugged it doesn't work. I've tried a couple different HDMI and DP cables, so I doubt they are all bad. I am on the latest GeForce Drivers as per GFE. Anything else I could try here? Both are set to 144hz, Adaptive Sync ON and Gamer 1 as the profile as I just reset them. One of them also doesn't show HDR capable? Not that I use it, just noticed it missing in the Windows settings. I have tried lowering the refresh rate, still get the same issue. Side note: not sure if relevant, but each monitor has a slightly different OSD panel - one says 'Settings' the other says 'Menu'. I've updated the OSD app I can download, but I don't see a way to update any sort of firmware to these monitors.

They just posted both are sold out now.

I imagine there are a lot of people like me who just can't wait either and will back out. I have to go cook supper soon or I am going to have a bunch of little people attacking me.

Just did the 3060 for fun while I wait, and the amount of people is substantially less - should of went for that card haha.

Lucky, I am stuck now at 2910. I can't foresee that many people not buying ahead of me

#3314 I was on the video so fast but I couldn't find the URL - and the game was ridiculous LOL You are #3061 of 6806 in the queue. Keep dropping haha

That's a good point. What's stopping an actual gamer, who already has a 3000 series GPU to participate. I know we will have to wait to see, but I hope they figure something decent out.

Couldn't find any countersunk at home. I would go with that Bolts Plus deal myself or see if anyone else has them of course before hand. I had an old M2 years ago, I don't recall ever 'needing' the screws on those 2.5" HDD sleds. Does the M4 require them or its flopping around kind of thing?

That's not too bad of a deal at all. Any luck contacting the other stores I mentioned? They probably have an old peanut butter jar full of them haha.

Oh, by the way you can change that amazon link to .ca and get the Canadian price, plus shipping etc. Shows 6.29 + Free Shipping for me when I do that. However, you're still looking at a wait.
