Supply vs demand my dear friend ^^

Are you talking about CRG9 and G9? CRG9 is the "old version" while G9 is the new one (new panel, higher refresh rate, faster response times etc.), you can find more info online.

Got it, super weeeird then. I will try to check if I find any info...

Sounds like you are playing in European servers not sure why though.. VPN? Is ping always this high? Are you playing with friends who live in EU?

I'm more than sure that spikes will be related to your CPU as you are running on stock and aiming for high refresh. What is the monitor resolution and in-game settings? GTA fps looks quite low. Any plans to OC the CPU? Besides that, would be great if you could post stats of your GPU in games where you experience it (core clock, temp) Cheers

As MadPistol said, would be great to know the model of monitor and as well: What games, what FPS are you getting, is the Vsync enabled in games? Fast sync is only usefull if you are getting FPS way above the refresh rate e.g. 200+ fps on 60hz monitor. In general to avoid tearing you would need to be running either Vsync or Freesync/Gsync.

Is the resolution and refresh rate set matches native of your TV?

Lg c9 55 inch (should be around 1400 range) 120hz, G-sync + Hdmi 2.1 for future. There is a CX (C10) release coming with new monitors (minor updates, but still) including 49inch which might be attractive for you Read about OLED burn-ins, if that scares you, I can recommend samsung QLEDS, Q70R up. Not as good picture as OLED, but damn pretty and close

You can have a look at https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-amd-ryzen-9-3900x-vs-core-i9-9900k-review and then take each CPU review to compare. @Enderman explained a valid point why many 4k reviews (comparisons) don't exist as you become bound by GPU performance and various CPUs will perform basically on par. Overall from what I have seen, the smallest 1% drops will be with 9700k in most games or 9900k due to higher single core performance. 1080p/1440p results of 1% will show the same structure, so can be used as basis. Since you have to ugprade everything (including mobo, ram etc.) suggest to wait for 10th gen, even minimal, but will have higher performance. Important to mention though, that with current gen. GPUs max settings and 4k in many games is not achievable (especially AAA titles). Speaking from self experience with 2080ti. So if budget is not a constraint and only basis is 1% gaming, would wait and go for 10th gen. (strictly gaming 10700 or 10900 for gaming and multitasking) which come out in a few weeks.

Here e.g. which sounded like GPU, but was actually mobo

This could be also related to motherboard/drivers etc. *Try sitting the card in another PCIE slot Would you have a chance to test GPU in another PC (friends?)?

Afterburner it is good choice, let us know the results, but as @Eigenvektor said, no issues as long as games run fine

This is a normal operating temp. Would start thermal throttling when it goes above ~83 celsius. If GPU is crashing withing operating temps more than likely it will be related to power delivery/usage. Are you 100% sure that it is GPU crashing though? What is the crash you get?

If AMD -- > Freesync, if Nvidia -- > either Gsync or Freesync (but which is Gsync compatible, or at least tested).

Well, it is GSync compatible, so those are the settings you see. It is normal The "Selected Display is not validated blabla" part you can just ignore.

Anything that is over 60hz will feel smoother and more responsive (as in 99% panels will be just faster), but as SolarNova pointed very well, have to pick the monitor and go through reviews. I mean even with 2080ti I am not getting anything close to 144hz, not even 100 on some AAA with ultra settings (yes, I do keep them lower than ultra in most cases) and it is still just a whole different world compared to 60hz. 100 or 144hz is up to you (price range etc.), but for sure go for something over 60 if you have the ability to. (future proof?)

Yea exactly.. For me in most games I play I had to have it on to be able to enable it. Once enabled windows colors are "greyish" due to shitty windows support, but in-game works perfectly (with HDMI and 2080ti, same die as your GPU). Hmm, weird. Cause I had the issue of washed out colors, but that was on HDR400 Dell which just was not bright enough. On ur TV should work without issues...

Well luckily we are in times where you can have both. So just go for 1440p IPS or VA panel. (VA if more media consumption and can pick higher end panel)

In general it is ok, 1440p on 32inch is around ~93 ppi, which is close to 1080p on 24 inch panels, even if you are sitting fairly close pixles aren't really visible and text is fine (talking from personal experience). But as thewill102 said, it is big and if you are sitting up close you are losing quite viewsight. If you will not be using it as e.g. tv to watch from farther, I would suggest to go for 27 inch.

As Escapenz said, make sure to to tick "Enable settings for the selected display model". If the monitor is on Nvidia compatible list, should not have any issues, if not, it might blanking out etc.

first step to check, do you have the HDR turned on in Windows? Start --> Settings --> System --> Display or mouse right click on desktop and select display settings. Should be a setting "Play HDR games and apps" In addition, what is the model of HDR TV? Is it actual HDR1000?

Can you point to the article which said that it is G-Sync compatible? I jumped on the same trap with MSI 32 inch, which was in fact not compatible at all and not certified by Nvidia oficially... Flickered as hell, ended up selling it Aka, no solution, you can try to use CRU to to play around the settings, but this had no help for me. I honestly believe that MSI just released a completely false information regarding G-sync compatibility and then pulled it out while most websites left it and misinformed tons of people. Basically, if the monitor is not on the official Nvidia list https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/ there is no guarantee it will work..

Basically: Shooters - all off to avoid any additional lag from any form of sync All the rest - G-sync on + cap below max refresh rate to always have FPS in G-Sync range and have nice smooth image. Overall Gsync does not add that much lag (from what I have read over the years and from personal experience) therefore, you can leave it on for most shooters as well. As for NULL, based on Nvidia you should always have it on to reduce latency for games where fps is between 60-100, but I personally never used it, maybe others have opinion and personal experience on that. At the end, use what you feel comfortable with

If you have it capped at 144hz, G-sync is not working, it is either Vsync that kicks in if you have it enabled or just no sync. You need to cap it few frames below it. Check online for a correct set-up There are quite a few tutorials, e.g. https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/

Don't count on it working, basically make your decision taking the fact that it will not work. Had the 32inch MSI which was listed by some websites stating that "MSI put it on compatible list" https://thepcenthusiast.com/msi-freesync-monitors-compatible-with-g-sync/, but they were never included in official Nvidia compatible list. For some people worked fine, for me worked with only few games, but with most were black screening every few seconds and was impossible to use, so just played without adaptive sync.. and ended up selling it. Nvidia offical list means it has been tested and will most probably work fine, those that are not will be a complete lottery. Some people have no issues, some has etc.
