  1. Hi thanks for your reply, I didnt realise I needed an extra cable, or that it was 89.99. Could be a dealbreaker for me already, thanks again for the heads up.
  2. Hi im thinking of getting a meta quest 3 for sim racing. Cant find much information about the 3090ti and the quest 3. Will I have any issues with this card and using VR? (I did see that it had trouble with some older vr headsets) Motherboard is an msi z790 tomahawk ddr4 32 gb ram @3600mhz I7-12700KF Thanks
  3. Mods please delete this thread, my apologies
  4. Its ok I found that in file explorer options you can unhide them. Thanks
  5. Hi im on windows 11, I wanted to show hidden files in my steam games folder.. but it made things disappear. I right clicked on properties and selected show hidden files.. now no matter what I select they wont come back. Common is hidden and the app extensions are hidden too Can anyone help?
  6. Awesome, thanks for both of your help
  7. Ok thanks, so if I have a main monitor in 1440p I can run a game in borderless full screen, pause the game, tab out of it and move over to the other monitor which would be 1080×1920 (effectively) and scroll an internet page? I see people on youtube with these kind of setups, it sounds like it might not be worth the hassle maybe?
  8. I know lol but it is new to me, thanks though I dont mind doing that
  9. If I want a second monitor to stand vertically for browsing, is it possible to game on one and browse on the other? or at least have both monitors using seperate full screen apps at once? I like the idea of gaming whilst using a game guide at the same time on a second monitor
  10. Yeah thats the video that made me want to buy it too. Would love to here what its like when it arrives if you get chance
  11. Yeah I was looking at that one, it always gets a mention so I know its a good monitor. Does the msi one having quantum dot make much difference in terms of image quality?
  12. Hi, I game casually and like to have decent visuals, mainly fps and some sim and sports games. This monitor is about my budget, would you recommend it?
  13. Interesting, I did not know that. For me it boils down to something very simple, human decency. Clearly nvidia do not care as they are making crazy money, and as people have said, the gpu market isnt their primary interest now. So I think a very simple but good point to make is, so give people more then, just out of decency, nothing else, just as decent human beings. We pay way too much for gpus now, so just give is more performance simply with a firmware update allowing frame generation on all rtx gpus. Its so easy, so uncomplicated. The thing is, as everyone keeps saying, they dont have to.... and they wont.... it really isnt about that, or about being brutally honest about how coprorations work... its just basic, in a better world they would, therefore its better. Im against the capitalism today, this issue isnt even one that bothers me, my gpu performance is fine. Its just a logical thought, and an idea for how the world could be better for all, not just the big tech companies. Sadly it isnt reality, I am in no way ignorant to this fact, but when something is possible, never stop hoping or challenging
  14. Wow how rude, this is just an internet forum, calm down a little. So what if I answered my own question?? Who cares. I dont know what you are so angry about but its not me
  15. Absolutely, and I completely get that, but thats exactly my point, its an abuse of that financial comfort and power. Whereas AMD also have a lot of money and industry clout, but they allow their technology to be used by nvidia users, freesync too which is a huge one. Ive never had an AMD gpu but they might end up getting my money next time
  16. Apologies in advance if this has already been said... Given the ridiculous prices of gpus over the last few years, and most of that goes on nvidia.. you would think they would cut gamers some slack. But they dont, and I understand they have to make money, its 100% a business, I get it. However, the real problem for me is things like frame generation. They could easily have made that compatible with 20 and 30 series gpus... but they didnt. Why? Because they want to sell the 40 series gpu's, which have dissapointed, so the real performance upgrade comes from frame generation. But everyone can probably see this, so the reason I posted this is.... AMD FSR 3 frame Generation will be not only compatible with Nvidia GPUs too, but 20 and 30 series cards. So AMD are about to do more for my nvidia GPU than Nvidia have ever done, for FREE. Ok so in reality it wont be perfect, currently no support for VRR whilst using frame generation, but that will happen guaranteed. Overall, Nvidia needs to stop being so corporate, and apple like and start to value their customers more.
  17. The c2 is also an option for me, I currently game on a 4k 55 inch LG lcd, which is great for driving sims. You do actually get used to the size and its very immersive, however the pixel density isnt very high and the ghosting is very bad in some games. The 42 inch oled is certainly a great buy, with a much better pixel density and ofcourse superb image quality. Its a bit pricier than the dwf at present but it is one that I have thought about. Im just very drawn in by alienwares 3 year burn in warranty, plus the fps gains
  18. The hdmi is 2.0 which is hard to understand but the DP 1.4 will do 165hz. Not sure about in HDR though, im happy at 144 to be honest. Been gaming at 60 fps for ages so anything is an upgrade for me. Yeah I will bide my time, looking like a very promising option though
  19. I think im going to go for the alienware ultrawide. I think these new 4k oleds are targeted at 4090 users, I use a 3090ti so should get smoother experience in 3440x1440 for a couple of years until 5 series. Plus the 3 year burn in warranty is a pretty strong selling point
  20. How much of a deal breaker is it? Everyone is talking about the upcoming 4k 32 inch 240hz oled from Asus, but if there is no burn in warranty, imagine dropping 1500 on it, youd never be able to relax and just enjoy it Linus had very bad issues with his 42 inch LG very quickly, but as we know hes quite well off. Imagine saving for months and forking out 1k plus only to have burn in 6 months down the line Obviously burn in is very preventable, but then you have to constantly monitor it and keep using the provided anti burn in tools. Which to me changes the whole PC experience of just enjoying your beautiful desktop without any fears
  21. The alienware is QD OLED and has a 3 year warranty. Even with this though you would still want to babysit it all the time. How close to oled are some of the others? Like the Coolermaster GP27U has QD mini led, 50000:1 contrast and 576 local dimming zones, plus 1200 nits HDR... I bet that looks epic as its 4k 160hz. I can get 100fps plus on some very nice looking games in 4k. I just wish I could see these monitors to actually compare them, its like blind guessing to a degree
  22. Hi thanks for replying, yeah I actually noticed that lowering settings for a higher fps actually increases image quality... in my view anyway. Would you say the LG ultragear 240hz OLED is a good choice? I can imagine with freesync premium the clarity would be superb. Its currently £850 on offer
  23. Hi, ive got so many monitor upgrade ideas floating around that I just cant decide whats best. Im a casual gamer, rig is a 3090ti i72700kf 32gb ddr4 3600 The biggest appeal to me is graphics, image clarity i.e sharpness being something I get excited about... but now there is OLED.. so these potential options are hard to get into order for me.. Theres the alienware 3440×1440 oled, super fast, awesome colours, but maybe not super sharp ppi density, 3 year burn in warranty, but a not 100% compatible aspect ratio Then theres the LG oled, 2560x1440, sweet spot for gaming, super responsive, compatible etc, but dim peak brightness and not sure on burn in warranty Theres also the socially illegal 4k at 27"... like the LG27GN950, not oled but super sharp image quality which appeals to me... also the coolermaster option which is apparently close to oled in colour terms and does great black darkening tricks... Or theres waiting for an unaffordable 32inch 4k oled... the new LG will tick all the boxes but I guess it will be at least 1500 Budget around £850-1000 max Its very tricky not to slip up I think, the alienware glossy is probably interesting me the most
  24. Hi, the room is actually quite dark as its facing the north. I am in the uk but thats well within my budget, thanks I was thinking about hdr, it seems like thats something I'll be downgrading on but gaining in image sharpness. Always has to be a comprimise in pc gaming lol. Just checked it out, that looks like an awesome monitor! Why is it so much cheaper than the others?
  25. Thanks, im kind of out of touch when it comes to actual pc monitors now, appreciate the suggestions
