  1. My second PG279Q arrived today! Plugging it in instead of my existing one exhibited the same issues. Plugging them both in together with another two regular 1080p monitors was pretty much twice as bad as with just the single PG279Q. Setting them both to 1080p60 as well with G-Sync off and only them connected shows only slight stuttering, but back to full pretty much when plugging another two in again. I'm clearly hitting some sort of bottleneck in my system, I just have no idea where. I've reached out to Asus for support now, but not sure what else I can try in the meantime. I think I'll do a fresh install of Windows 10 on my Samsung M.2 drive and remove the Optane to see if that helps at all. I've also included a video example of the kind of lag I'm experiencing. If anyone else has experienced this before, I would be overjoyed to hear from you!
  2. Hello everyone! I've got a tricky one for you all I think... I recently built a new PC, (specs here: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Gunsmithy/saved/dYJ9WZ), but in summary it's a 8700K with an Asus Z370-E and a EVGA 1080 Ti. Pretty bog-standard stuff, with one caviat that I have a PCIe Optane 900P with Windows installed. One big reason for the upgrade was my PC lagging, mouse and audio most noticeably, whenever there seemed to be high I/O. I had the 1080 Ti in that old rig with a 2600k and figured it was time to upgrade so I pulled it. To reproduce this issue, the easiest way seems to be listening to music on Discord and see how much it stutters when performing certain actions. Most effective seems to be switching game modes in Fortnite. To further complicate things, this horrible stuttering only occurs when I have all my 4 monitors plugged in, with my main monitor, the Asus ROG PG279Q connected over Displayport. The other 3 are a Dell 1080p 60Hz over HDMI, and two LG 1080p 60Hz monitors, one over DVI, and one over DVI via a passive DIsplayport adapter. I tested every combination of monitor, and to summarize, the issue does not occur when I have all monitors connected except the PG279Q, happens to a lesser extent with only 1 other monitor connected with the PG279Q, or with all connected but the PG279Q over HDMI at 60Hz. I've also tested with new Displayport cables and even borrowed my friend's GTX 960 to see if it was a GPU issue, and the same thing occurs. This also happened with the 1080Ti in my previous PC, but I assumed for other reasons. My thoughts now are, is it some sort of issue with PCIe or GPU bandwidth? GPU usage is around the 30% mark, but I'm not sure if the GPU + my Optane drive is causing trouble. I didn't have the Optane drive on the old PC, but I also of course was only on a P67 board so it would've had its own struggles. Maybe I need to be on an enthusiast board with a Core i9-7900X or something? lol It just doesn't seem like I'm doing anything too crazy here. No SLi hogging up the lanes either and the Optane is only 4X. I've ordered another PG279Q to test on, but I'm not sure it will even help at this point. I'm wondering what you all might suggest. This one has me totally stumped! Thanks, Gunsmithy Update 1: Another way to reproduce, dragging the Netflix app window around, lol. It stutters with the PG279Q connected even over HDMI, but not with it disconnected. Really curious if it's the cause. The new one should be arriving by Monday at the latest. Follow if you're interested!
  3. What's the Refresh Rate on this bad boy? It's looking like the first projector I'd consider for a gaming setup in my home!
  4. My dad's HDD just started failing, in the process of me building a FreeNAS backup server! Arghh! I would love an SSD to get rid of that mechanical drive of his and make him a part of the SSD master race.
