It is a 27 inch. Tried 1440p and it looks fine, I guess other than that there isn't much to do?

Hey guys, I am using a 4k monitor, however my pc can't handle gaming at 4k (2012 build). How do I play games on it with lower resolution (say fullhd) without blurry menus and such?

Thank's a lot for clearing that up, I was worried I'm going to need to purchase a new GPU to support 4k (not talking about gaming).

Okay, I see what you're saying and maybe I got it all wrong, I guess I will know better once the monitor arrives. But why would they mention max digital/analog resolution on the specification page?

I'm not doubting the dp technology, but rather what the gpu can deliver. I'm only asking that because of the specifications i read in that link, am i missing something?

Sure, it can support up to 4k but that doesn't mean it has to run at 4k - just like dp 1.4 can support 8k res (according to wiki) doesn't mean it has to.

Yeah there's a mini dp output, but maybe it's possible the GPU can't support this resolution? This card is about 4 years old

This is what I read here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4121#sp under specifications

Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7900 series 3gb using mini dp to dp

Hey guys, I recently ordered a 4k monitor, however my current GPU supports max resolution of 2560 x 1600 digital and 2048 x 1536 analog. So my question is, can the GPU support the monitor with this maximum resolution at all? If it can, would the display look worse than on a 2k monitor (given its the same screen size, technology, etc')? EDIT: I am using Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7900 series 3gb using mini dp to dp

Gaming, office work, programming, browsing, etc'... nothing with video editing. Well I think I got my answer, thanks everyone, I will keep my CPU for now

Hey, I currently own an i7 3770K CPU (mid 2012) and I'm planning on doing some upgrades as my whole rig is from 2012. Is it worth upgrading my CPU? From what I have read online there isn't significant gain.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about upgrading my current monitor as its very old. I am considering the DELL U2715H, my main usages are programming, browsing, some media consuming and general office work. Occasionally I want to game on it. I read some reviews about it including the one on tftcentral and seems like there aren't many bad things to say about it. What do you guys think of this monitor? are there any other monitors in this category I should be considering (27 inch, IPS, 1440p)? Also, what about ghosting / input lag on this monitor? One more question which is less relevant to the screen but rather the GPU powering it, I currently own an AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series, can it support this screen properly?

So far the Inspiron is holding on great. As I mentioned the issue is that sometimes it's a bit slow (nothing too serious though). That's why the smartest choice right now would probably be upgrading the SSD and RAM. However, I might need to upgrade it anyway sometime in the future so perhaps a new laptop would tackle both of the problems. I'm not from the US so outlets are quite irrelevant to me unfortunately.

Hey guys, I currently own a Dell Inspiron 5000 Series 5547 with the following specs: Core i7 4510U 2.0-2.6 GHz 8GB DDR3 RAM FHD Touch Display Intel HD Graphics / AMD Radeon R7 M265 5400rpm 1TB Hard Drive + 8GB SSD (Hybrid) This laptop is about two years old, it gets the job done but I feel like its a bit slow. I hear the fans come on while doing not-too-demanding tasks (at least so it seems). I thought about replacing current hard drive with a SSD and upgrading ram to 16GB as it's relatively cheap, and get a significant performance boost (at least so I read). On the other hand I thought about buying a new laptop with better specs for better performance and "futureproofing". I considered mostly the Dell XPS 15 high-end model. My main usage is programming which is generally not a very demanding task (simply writing right?). However with many tabs open, a quite demanding IDE, some other programs running in the background things get a bit tougher for my machine. What are your thoughts? Should I upgrade my current laptop or buy a new one for long-term usage? If you have any alternative suggestions I will be glad to hear (different laptop purchase / other things I could upgrade / a whole different approach - perhaps software?).
