I was not familiar with this monitor. It does look incredible. That was very informative. I should probably have stated that the monitor will be mostly used for windows gaming and linux programming, with the occasional movie. I wasn't aware of the text issue but it certainly something I'm concerned with now. I have heard however that burn-in can be an issue, should I be worried about this during productivity tasks when having one application open for a long time? I am leaning towards the alienware now, with a possible monitor or two on the side for productivity. Either that or holding off on my purchase till the corsair xeneon is more established (I feel a bit uncomfortable being an early adopter). Thank you all for your replies. This has certainly given me alot to thing about.

Current monitor: Samsung LC34H890WJUXEN 34" - UWQHD 3440 x 1440, 100Hz, Freesync. PC Specs: Ryzen 7 5800X 32GB DDR4 3600MHz RX 6900 XT 16GB Question: Are there any good ultrawide monitors that I could upgrade my current monitor from? I'm not sure if I should go for better image quality (e.g. Dell Alienware AW3423DW) or something larger (e.g. Samsung G9 Odyssey Neo). I'm open to any suggestions.

Cheers. Isn’t the 6700XT similar in performance to the 3070? There is no budget to be honest. I just don’t want to overspend if I don’t have to.

Thanks. Looking at benchmarks I got the impression that AMD is better at price for performance at the moment. I also wanted to take advantage of their smart access memory.

I was planning to get the RX6800 but that would mean I’d have to wait another 2 months. Considering how well the other GPU releases went, I’m worried I might not even be able to get one. So do I wait for 6800? Downgrade to 6700XT? Or break budget and get 6900XT?

I have made few posts recently regarding upgrades for my computer. Initial plan months ago was to get a 2070s before Cyberpunk comes out. But this doesn’t seem to be a cost efficient option any more. My next plan was to get the RTX 3080 and a PSU upgrade. But as you all might know it’s impossible to find a 3080 at the moment. Now I’m in a predicament and can’t for the life of me decided. Question: should I try to snatch a 3070 on release date (apparently the stock for these is suppose to better than for 3080) or just wait - possibly till next year - till the 3080 are in stock or AMD releases it’s GPUs? Obviously this is all subjective but I’m looking more for peoples opinions than a solution. Also I’m planning to play on ultra settings on a 3440x1400 monitor.

No worries mate.

Yeah, that’s what I’m worried about. I’m wondering whether I’d be better off just snatching a 3070 on release day.

I want to pre-order a RTX 3080 from overclockers. Has anyone in the UK had any experience with wait times for them? Should I expect to wait weeks or months?

5000 series? As in the gpu?

Thanks! Here is hoping I manage to snatch one before the game comes out.

I’ve recently upgraded from a 1080p monitor to a 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor. My GTX 1060 is beginning to struggle and I’m thinking of upgrading before Cyberpunk. The plan was to buy a RTX 2070 super. However, now I find myself considering a 5700xt or RTX 3070 as well. Due to high demand (I live in UK) I’m worried a 3070 would not get delivered to me before Cyberpunk. Which of these graphics cards would you recommend?

Hi, Im looking to buy a new ultrawide monitor but the amount of options is overwhelming. Would anyone be able to recommend a monitor in this price range? Currently, I'm thinking of the ASUS ROG Strix XG43VQ but I'm not sure if a less-wide monitor with higher resolution (1440p) be better.
