4k is awesome 144hz is awesome 4k+144hz is super awesome, although quite expensive still, when compared to other 144hz or 4k products I remember paying close to 3000$ for Apple Cinema 30" back in around 2005, with 200$ student discount. That actually gave me a competitive advantage back in a day. (and it still in service as a matter of fact, which is quite impressive) This isn't a case with current breed of 4k 144hz though (even though I like it quite a lot) If was made to chose, I would go 4k over 144hz. Difference between 1440p or 4k or alike is quite dramatic. 144hz is nice (really nice) in fast paced games, but 4k is better in most all other applications.

I own 14 different 1080 ti atm. Some fairly basic, others binned and with large cooler. Used them for mining for about 7 month ( kind of experimented on a thing ) Since mining is no longer a thing (at least in my universe), I pushed them to our guys, upgrading their GPUs and I think I sold like two on ebay and one to a local. Everything has been working fine so far and there has been no complaints from the people I sold them to. Temp were good during mining. I moved them to server, thermal controlled room at one point and reapplied thermal paste to one card as it was getting good 15 degrees hotter then the others. One card failed and was replaced under warranty within a week of initial deployment. So, point being, mining isn't necessarily a killer But 290 pounds converts to 330 euro which is a 100 euro shy of what you can get 1080 (ti) for if you look (albeit you probably won't get a receipt) Try negotiate it down a bit maybe?

You are good ok as far as budget goes. Used (most likely off mining), you can get 1080 easy for 400$ shipped, and possibly Ti if you add some cash or do some hunting and are ok with post-mining samples. Your CPU is rather slow though, and may cause issues. Mileage will vary from title to title. You will need more power PSU for sure.

I this a new CPU? Just bought it? What about MoBo?

Could be a typo or some special edition, limited market OEM like 1060 with 5gb ...

I would say your next step should be CMOS reset along with pulling everything else, including storage drives, to exclude possibility of some weird resource allocation issue. Other then that, try to put another GPU, see if it works …

"With the GPU plugged in, the PC just does not boot" what exactly does this mean? Does it POSTs? Do you have any video out put at all at any stage?

My buddy got one for 1400 euro here in Spain (includes 21% sales tax) I am waiting for quality water cooling block to become available and SLI benchmarks ….

Will desktop still display on the other two? Just a web browser with youtube a like stuff?

Hi! I am looking for some advise. Not sure if the issue best belongs to monitor or GPU section, but anyways … I am complementing upgrading my current setup with a 144hz 4k screen (Asus PG27Uq is on the way, expected Monday) Not looking to replace my current ones, which are NEC PA322UHD and older NEC PA301. These are calibrated for my work and suite me fine, so they gotta stay. GPU is Titan V. Would it even work? Hardware / software wise? 144hz is for gaming only, so I can shut off others in a meantime, and for work I can roll back 144hz to regular 60 hz. Any ideas appreciated ... Thanks!
