  1. From my own research on this monitor when i was thinking of buying the same one, but in 27 inch instead of 32, i reached the result that this was not the best one. Especially if you went for 32, you would have been better off with 27 inch at 1440p, better pixel density at that size. The color and quality of the panel also are average. I decided i will go for the Odyessy G6 27 inch at 1440p 240hz. This one is overall ALOT better in every aspect vs the g55a , only downside is it costs more, and personally i am fine with that, i want to go from 1080p to 1440p along with a decent bump in image quality, not just resolution. Sadly when i decided to go for it, it went out of stock, still waiting for them to be available again, or a newer model comes out. There are alot better options than the G55a for the same price, one of them was a LG monitor..... google "G55A rtings" their review has suggestions for better monitors. Goodluck! Edit: sitting infront of a window is not the best thing to do when sitting infront of a monitor, idk maybe u usually close the shades
  2. Hmmmm might be, i will look into the color profiles for each monitor , though i think it is stock profile. Also yeah another thing i was looking out for was the smearing, his monitor looked smoother, but idk if it was the 144 vs 165 difference (its not much to make a difference right?) or if its just because it is an old VA panel. Thanks!
  3. Thank you for ur reply !! will look into those monitors As for the non gimmicks part i meant something like freesync premium or gsync, HDR , QDOT etc
  4. Hello i guys, recently i decided it is time to change my 6 year old monitor , Samsung Odyssey QDOT 24 inch 1080p running at 144hz, it is curved and has a VA panel. I saw a friend`s Odyssey G3 which has a ips panel and it kinda looked better than mine in colors so i thought imma go IPS this time, as well as feeling the need to get a bit bigger monitor , 27 or 28 inch as i finally feel that "24 inch is the sweet spot" is over. So plan is going 27/28 inch, dont care about curve , IPS preferably , but I can`t decide on the Resolution, 1440p or 4k. I have already built a new rig recently, but i didnt upgrade my GPU and remain on a 2070 super . It will handle 1440p but i doubt about 4k, i plan to replace it with a second hand 3080 ti or 3090 or just wait till the 5000 series since the 4080 handles 4k good, the 5000 series hopefully will be even better at 4k. So i am thinking either get a 1440p that i can run right now , and postpone buying gpu till 5000 series, and have a easier time running the resolution in the future. OR get the 4k monitor, struggle a bit, but in the very long term i would not have to think of changing the monitor to go to higher resolution, you know either a jump from 1080p to 1440p then later on jump to 4k or just a big jump from 1080p to 4k and forget about upgrading the monitor for a long while. the 2 i am conisdering are : -1440p : Samsung 27AG500 27″ Odyssey G5 2k -4k : Samsung 28BG702 Odyssey G7 28″ Also i would welcome any recommendations for alternatives, and wouldnt mind getting a high end 1440p with better features ( non gimmicks ofcourse!) instead of the 4k one. Thanks in advance!!
  5. Thanks for the info, guess imma stick with windows 10 for a while... My 8th gen i5 8400 is already bottlenecking my gpu a bit, but i fear that 5-15% hit might bottleneck it more (was supposed to get a 9900k, the i5 was supposed to be just a temporary cpu and get replaced last year, but life smacked me and am stuck with it for now, f for paying extra for a proper board for the i9)
  6. not just AMD cpus, i remember reading that it decreases performance in games by 20 % give or take
  7. I got a zotac 2070s amp extreme something and a aerocool project p 7
  8. I noticed one time when i had the side panel removed to clean it, the gpu was throwing all the hot air out of its side straight at the panel,and it blows out ALOT of air (which explains why the glass was hot lol,also had a game running in the background that`s why its hot) I got 3 intake fans ,2 of which are relatively close to the gpu , and 2 exhausts at the top. From the tests i have seen on youtube , it doesnt make much of a difference ,but idk if in my case it might help, if all the hot air is blown straight up to the exhause instead of circling back down and into the gpu fans. The cpu is fan it barely goes over 55c, if it is affected i can just switch the fan to the other side of the air cooler and add a intake fan at the back. any guys with a similar situation noticed a decent difference , temps for me are mostly 70c on the gpu, i want it to be cooler just to reduce the fan noise( and no changing the fan curves didnt help cause lowering it for silence would have me running at 80+c)
  9. That is the thing, tho even before this screenshot the owner said its 4Gb, and it my friend said the box had 4gb written on it , i dont have the picture. Though he decided to stay away and avoid risking it on a possible scam, ez to get away with it in our country (so the moment he pays, poof nothing he can do lol)
  10. this is the image which got me wondering about the performance
  11. Hey all, my friend was looking for a upgrade to his gpu, and was looking around for new or used cards, he found a local seller of a GTX 1080 with a suitable price, tho it was 4GB, after asking me about it , i told him NOPE, forget about it , probably a fake GPU, it is nonesense to have a powerful GPU, limited by 4GB VRAM, which his 1060 has 2 GB more Then again , I`ve read before that it can be a issue, or a damaged VRAM, out of curiosity, does anyone know if there is such an issue, and as far as i can tell there is no 4gb 1080 , the owner provided a benchmark where the score and fps were within margin of error of a normal 1080 ,but what made it more suspicious is that the driver version is from april 11 2019, (as if the 4gb is not fishy enough). Also the owner said its a "mini" variant of a 1080 Anyway i told my friend to forget about it, it`s probably a scam, though am just curious about this if it could be a damaged 1080 , anyone who would share some knowledge is appreciated,or did i miss a useless 4gb 1080 release???? (which i doubt since i basically wank to tech news at this point ).
  12. well it`s been in use for a year, though it is still under warrenty, as said above due to the covid situation it might take some time for one to get sent back Also for some reason in my country almost all stores sell AeroCool psus which from what i heard are not that good, and risky, this coolermaster one is the only psu i managed to find that is not Aerocool lol, i might just hang on this one for a while, and import a seasonic psu when i upgrade my cpu (planning to jump from the i5 8400 to 9900k)
  13. well i did jump from a 1050 ti to a 2070 super (old gpu was in the new rig for like 7 month) It happens when the power usage increases massively(start a heavy game) , but goes away after like 10 secs Coil whine is minimal , i couldnt tell if it was whine or something else tho, had me worried for a bit . Thanks for your help!!!
  14. i don`t mind the sound as it`s only there for a like 10 secs, but i was worried if it is something faulty since this rig is new , barely 1 year old , and i just recently installed a new gpu so was afraid of something getting toasted, Also i was wrong in saying the psu is 1,5 years old , i did get it 1,5 years ago but i installed it when i got all the new rigs parts so basically in use for barely a year so i guess i will forget about the RMA
  15. i asked the support of the store where i got it and he said he couldnt tell so i posted here he told me to RMA it tho, and if am right coil whine isnt included in the warrenty i think , should i just RMA it anyway??
  16. Hi , i know coil whine is generally not much of an issue but recently it started to make a weird sound for a couple of seconds as soon as a load hits it, but then fades out, it is in the video below Can someone confirm if it is indeed coil whine ??? I can`t tell if it is , help is appreciated!!! EDIT: forgot to add its a coolermaster masterwatt 650 80+ bronze 20200528_120320_1.mp4
  17. TL;DR : Amazing graphics at 30fps doesnt mean next gen consoles will beat high end pcs. PC doesn`t really need a 3080 ti to beat a ps5 you can already beat it with existing hardware, put the ssd thing aside cause it doesn`t mean alot (pc got 5 gb ssds, but in reality the are just for loading times since pc got more ram and v/ram, ps5 is using the ssd to compensate the 16gb of combined ram/vram), pc was always able to reach the quality of consoles and run better almost always, unless its a low end pc. If u wanna be on the level off consoles u can push everything to high/ultra settings and run on 30 fps, on a medium / low budget pc. my old rig which retired last summer at a age of almost 7 years had a 3rd gen i3 ,8gb ram and a 750ti(i had before it some nvidia gpu which i bored from a frnd,forgot the model name) which was later upgraded to a 1050ti cause while cleaning the 750ti from dust, it slipped and got damaged. This rig handled most of the games at high 1080p high settings between 40~70 fps , which was already better than current gen consoles from 2013 till the end of summer 2019. Even then i could have kept running the same rig on high/medium settings and go down to 30 fps. But i upgraded to a i5 8600,16gb ram 1 tb nvme,1 tb hdd , room for more storage and a 2070 super which are now running all games at maxed out settings at 120+ fps @1080p, something which consoles could never do, even next gen. Next gen consoles will most probably run on high settings the same as pc, but hit 120+ fps too?? i doubt it.They may have a 120 fps mode that disables some graphic settings to reach it or run on a select number of games. Then again i hope i am wrong, cause each gen i get a xbox for the living room,otherwise i will start using steam link to play on the tv i guess. For me frames are more important. They make a huge difference.One of the easiest ways to notice the difference is set up a racing game on a console and pc , like forza horizon 4 ,on xbone it ran at a 30 fps and driving on high speed was sluggish, meanwhile on pc it ran at 140+ fps on all maxed out settings, graphics looked much better than console and while driving on high speeds it was smooth AF which made the experience better. It`s all marketing, every gen of consoles "OUTPERFORMS THE HIGHEST END PC!!!" it would run decently, then 1 or 2 years later if u compare the games on all platforms u will see the consoles starting to lag behind pcs more (talking from my own experience)
  18. i didnt say they are gonna be slow , i said it is getting overhyped. there are other things at play here other than the GPU, this is all in theory, as i said let`s see in practice instead of overhyping shit.( as in when it comes out)
  19. About that ram and vram, u do realize they got speeds of 20+ gbytes/s?? edit: there are already 5gb/s ssds for pc too..... the consoles are basically using the ssd as slower ram... And bruh are you for real??? you actually think they will perform as good as a 2080 TI LOL they said the same as last gen , but that was pure BS also yes they can run insanely good looking games, but can they pump out the fps???? NOPE i ran forza horizon 4 on xbox and pc, pc ran it at ~130 fps at all extreme settings while that console ran it at a 30 fps with lower graphics settings I aint going all pc master race , just saying this is overhyping shit. The same way they overhyped the xbone x and ps4 pro, which turned that they are not outputting actual 4k , just some ai stretched stuff... Are you really convinced that the new gen consoles will perform close to a 2080 ti??? If u do believe that , then ur in for a huge disappointment when the consoles come out....... Here`s a fun image of the overhype back then and now , see a pattern??? lmao
  20. This ssd thing is all a marketing gimmick pc had them for years, FYI there are 5gb nvme ssds out there, also consoles don`t have VRAM, and separate ram that`s why they gotta use the ssd for that basically a pc with 16gb of ram and 6/8 vram would not be using the ssd for that they are just trying to do what Apple does, reinvent something that was already there and make it a big deal LOL You are seeing this tech now cause of new gen consoles have finally got SSDs , because most developers wouldnt bother use a feature that exists only on 1 platform What epic did with UE 5 is great don`t get me wrong, its finally utilizing SSDs, but i think it is using it in a way to compensate the lack of seperate vram and ram ( I mean they got 8gb for ram and vram instead of 6 vram , 16 ram) Also every console gen they would start overhyping that they will come out ahead of pcs, but i don`t think so, right now i can run all games on ultra settings with 120+ fps with no issues, which i doubt new consoles could do, maybe at 1080p with high settings. I hope they are actually good cause i got both consoles and they are both sitting collecting dust since whenever i plug them in i notice the major difference in frames, loading , details, i go back to my pc. i like sitting on the couch playing games, more comfortable,but can`t bother move the case there when u get used to high frame rates u start to really notice fps drops and low frame rates.
  21. No one will know until it`s actually out Also pcs got RAM for that... and insanely fast nvme ssds too, if it was about that they would have went with pc,tho it`s about the $$ they got from sony lol
  22. yeah i know, but talking mainly on it being on a console, there is a lot of gameplay trailers that are stated to be running on either the xbox or ps that look better than they actually do, on pc it probably looks like that, heck it might actually be rendered on a pc its also funny how Epic games who was pushing so hard into pc gaming would go reveal UE 5 running on a console lol
  23. It looks awesome and all, but i doubt it will look anything like that when it`s actually out on the ps5 ,it will look good, but not as good as that video. I`ve seen plenty of trialers of gameplay footage running on a xboxox,ps4 pro to know that it won`t look like that lol
