Is it because of performance or something else? Yes. My GPU gets pinned to 100% usually and the vram gets filled up frequently. Though my CPU is usually at 80-90% so I guess they both need help. Thanks, I didn't consider vram. Yeah, I'm still on the fence. OW is fine and valorant is okay but I've playing The Finals recently and my computer is having a hard time giving me consistent 80+ fps at 1600x900. If I could fix that with just a couple hundred dollars, I would be a lot more happy so I can save money for something else.

Budget (including currency): $300 Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: overwatch, valorant, etc @ 1440p 120hz Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): My current computer (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HfwWkd) i5 6600k Asus z170k 16GB RAM GTX 980 520W PSU Upgrade Options (all used on craigslist, non-mining): RTX 3070 - $300 RTX 2080 Ti - $280 RTX 2080 - $200 Other Considerations: I play casually and infrequently so I don't want to spend more than a couple hundred on upgrading right now. Is the 6600k a higher upgrade priority than the 980? I will probably get a new CPU/Motherboard/RAM later, but right now a better GPU seems better value. Thanks

You'll have to do a lot of work that probably isn't worth it. If you google 'turn laptop screen into monitor' you'll get a sense of what you need to do.

You should try messing with the monitor's picture settings first but there is an icc profile in tftcentral's database for your monitor. [How to use an icc profile]

The rting.com review has some suggestions including an icc profile with the following settings:

Go to this link and scroll down to Supported TVs for a guide on how to check and then enable

Haha, i guess that could do it

Quick Question: What is this monitor for? How will it be used? Fyi there's a lot of bullshit in this subforum, don't believe everything people say especially when its about a monitor they have never seen before. Look at external and credible reviews in addition to people's recommendations. As far as the whole IPS vs VA thing, I find it counterproductive to stereotype them. I'd recommend to look at monitor's individually, paper specs only mean so much and you'll find that even monitors with similar specs can have vastly different irl performance, including stuff like contrast. The Asus and the BenQ both ue the same panel so they are almost identical in performance. The difference mostly comes in appearence and build quality. In this case I'd prefer the Asus.

Keep in mind that you can scale windows ui if it is too small

Could you upload a picture of the issue? The issue might be caused by improper scaling or simply you being used to 4k. But I can't tell just by your description.

Hello, I'm looking for the best Intel SSD for under $150ish USD. I am only looking for Intel because I can get one for free. Should I get M.2 or 2.5"? It is going to be a boot ssd for windows and for games and applications. THanks

I think those are good picks. The only suggestion I have is that a 240hz monitor instead of the S2417DG may be cool but only if you want to pay for it.

Has the flickering been present ever since you've owned the monitor or has it only started happening recently?

What monitor do you have?

I think he means that the stand aesthetic looks better imo. All 1440p144hz IPS G-Sync monitors use the same panel so they would be identical in color, contrast, ghosting, light bleed..., at least in theory
