@varrys What monitor did you end up getting? Contemplating buying the M34WQ so I was wondering whether you bought it and if you enjoy it.

The VA vs IPS panel question depends if you are sensitive to ghosting and black smearing. Personally I couldn't stand my VA panel because of the black smear and I sold it pretty fast to replace it with an IP panel. I have been looking at an ultrawide monitor as well but I haven't bought one yet. I am going to wait until curved 34" monitors are better priced. I believe flat panels are a good option for work, but for gaming I feel that it might be a hassle keeping track of hud elemants and stuff. For now I settled on two 27" moniors, one with a 144hz panel with G-Sync and stuff and one with a 60hz panel that I use in portrait mode so i can have three applications opened vertically aligned. If you do go for a flat 34", I'll be interested to know what your experiences are since I am still playing with that thought as well.

Hi all, I'm looking to expand my memory, CPU is 3600 and motherboard is MSI Gaming Plus Max. I currently have G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3200C16D-16GVKB in there, and I can either get an extra set or replace it. I was going to buy a 3000MHz CL15 set, but then I heard Ryzen doesn't do odd CL, so It'd be 3000MHz CL16. However, 3200MHz CL16 is pretty expensive and 4 sticks of my current memory is not on the QVL of my motherboard. Any tips?

Help with updating bios Gigabyte RTX3060Ti (resizable BAR)

That worked, you are a genius! Could you tell me why that worked? Resizable BAR is now also enabled, holy crap! -
Help with updating bios Gigabyte RTX3060Ti (resizable BAR)
martward replied to martward's topic in Graphics Cards
Hmm weird. Well I can't know whether my verison changed now, but seeing as how the OC bios is bricked, I think it's safe to assume it did something. I won't be trying to fix it, since I don't want to bork the Quiet bios as well and be left with a completely f*cked card. This was the last time I ever updated a GPU bios, that's for sure... -
Help with updating bios Gigabyte RTX3060Ti (resizable BAR)
martward replied to martward's topic in Graphics Cards
Okay so apparently if you have the control panel open it will tell you to close the control panel, it will then show you a message that the bios was installed successfully and prompt to restart, but it won't actually have installed the bios. I now have installed the BIOS, bit I have a black screen. How long do I wait before I turn it off? Thank god for dual bios. Guess my 3060Ti will stay in Quiet mode forever... -
Help with updating bios Gigabyte RTX3060Ti (resizable BAR)
martward posted a topic in Graphics Cards
Hi all, According to Gigabyte, the latest bios for the 3060Ti add resizable BAR. I tried installing the bios by downloading the package and running the N306TGOPL.F3.exe inside. It says it installed the BIOS, but resizable bar is still not supported and GPU-Z says the bios version is "94.04.27.80.88", which has a build date of 2020-10-30 according to TechPowerUp. If I try to follow the update steps on the Gigabyte website I get send to a page but I really don't understand what they want met to do. Anyone already did the upgrade and mind telling me how? Cheers -
Depends on the resolution you are playing watching at and what intel processor you are using. If it's a really old chip that doesn't support the resolution / frequency of the TV than you might want to install a newer GPU, otherwise there's no benefit. Also that's a pretty old GPU, so even if you would have need for a discrete GPU, that one probably won't help.

Hey, that's great! Your build looks very nice and clean. Congrats and enjoy the system :D.

RBG UPHERE fans keep turning on and off
martward replied to GoofyKnockzYT's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Did you check in the BIOS whether it's set to DC mode? I saw in the latest video that they used these fans and that it behaved weird because it was set to the wrong mode by default. -
I have had all three types and I will never move away from IPS anymore. My experience with a VA panel was that the contrast is very good, however the one I had, and this is apparently more often the case, had terrible ghosting / smearing. I now have the 27gl83a-b and I really love the monitor.

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new mouse and I have two main contestants: - Logitech Pro Wireless - Razer Pro Click (I seem susceptible to the whole "pro" marketing :P) I want something wireless and easy to switch between my desktop and laptop. The advantages of the Razer are that it supports Bluetooth (so I don't have to switch the dongle) for my laptop where latency doesn't matter, it looks nice and it's ergonomic. However it does have a 2.4mm lift-off distance according to rtings. The Logitech has the advantage of a lot of positive reviews, probably a better sensor and a lower lift-off distance. My questions are mostly: How much difference would the ergonomics of the Razer make, seeing as how I would work (8-9 hours a day) with the mouse as well as use it for some gaming in my free time? Are there any other things I should really pay attention to? Will I really notice the 2.4mm lift-off distance? Relevant info: - I have rather large hands - I will use it for work and play (Linux and Windows) - I do play CSGO, but I'm not very good at it and couldn't hit a flick if I would use an aimbot - I mostly play multiplayer with a couple of friends or RPGs on my own Thanks!

Which version of linux for a noob?
martward replied to StarsMars's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
I would suggest going Ubuntu if you're not familiar with linux. It's not necessarily the easiest as far as I know, but there is so much support online. Everybody and their grandma's are using Ubuntu and the internet forums are filled with questions and answers about the platform. There is a lightweight version called Lubuntu, but I have no idea whether it is any good. -
It really doesn't matter that much. In some benchmarks the 1650 super is slightly faster, in others the rx580 is slightly faster. I would just look up one or two reviews of outlets you trust and like to read (for me that's LTT, GamersNexus and Hardware Unboxed / Techspot) and check the review for the 1650 super. The 1650 super should contain the 580 (since 1650 super is newer) so you can get a good indication not only of the comparison but of the performance you can expect from both cards individually. I would imagine that the new cards should be better available somewhere in the second half of this year. Maybe the 1650 super might hold more of it's value since it's newer if you plan to sell it again, but that's just a guess.
