There is a power supply tier list in the power supply section on this forum. Could be a place to check against your particular PSU. But just dont be too paranoid about it :P

According to Jayz video and plenty of other feedback online, it's not a guarantee. I can only say that it helped dramatically in my case. But for sure, reconnect with two separate cables and see if that helps, first.

I've had good experiences with samsung C27JG50. 144Hz 1440p and a VA panel. No freesync or gsync. I was able to get for half the price of the IPS 144Hz asus panel. Looks almost as good for image quality and doesnt seem to suffer from the horrible QC lottery of those IPS displays(that are borderline not fit for purpose!.. but I digress). From playing with both side by side for the past two weeks, I personally dont see much benefit of gsync. Certainly not for that price difference.

there's a similar topic here: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1004858-2-monitors-affect-fps/?do=findComment&comment=12071639 TLDR: I've seen my GPU running at higher clock and unable to go to a lower power state with 2 144Hz 1440p screens connected. I'd offload it if possible

I've seen my 1080ti idling at 1450MHz and ~25% power draw with two 1440p 144Hz screens connected just at desktop with nothing displaying. It powers down to ~350MHz and 15% power with just one screen connected. I wouldnt be surprised if this costs some frames Funny enough, the RTX 2080 has no trouble powering down to ~300MHz and 12% power draw with those same 2 screens connected.

I've encountered coil whine on the newly purchased 1080 ti and rtx 2080. Sounded like an annoying high pitched screaching noise coming from the card, but not from the fans. It would disappear as soon as I minimized a running game, and come back again upon maximizing. I've looked around the forums and found some people reporting that it could be due to a combination of a power supply and that particular GPU. Being curious I bought an HX850 (2017) from corsair (thinking I can always return it if it doesnt help) and the coil whine went away! I had an RM650 from corsair rated gold since 2015, so not a crappy power supply by any means. Might be something to try, if you can do the same (buy and return in case it doesnt help). In any case, remember to use separate PCIE power cables for each 8/6 pin socket on the GPU.

What about the amount of memory? I have a 1080ti 11GB and an RTX 2080 8GB sitting on my desk deciding which one goes back for a refund.. It looks like 8GB is fine for now, but I've seen games hitting 7.8GB VRAM usage already. Would be such a shame if I had to drop texture res in the future purely due to RTX cards lacking VRAM... Do you know if DLSS uses less VRAM than comparable TAA or MSAA?

It all comes down to whether or not they were ran 24/7 throughout their lifetime. I work with deep learning and I can tell you that it's typically not as intensive on the GPU as mining or some benchmarks, even though you'll be maxing it out while training your models. If you take machine learning seriously, you wont be overclocking it either, since stability is much more important that marginal performance gains. You're also typically limited by memory bandwidth and CPU communication with the GPU, which means that overclocking typically doesnt do much anyway. All in all, I wouldn't have any concerns about these GPU's. Check that there is no visible damage on the PCB from poor handling or overheating if you want to be extra sure

Oh sorry, my bad. I have the 27", hence the comparison to other 27" screens

TLDR: It looks like a decent screen, especially if you find it at a discount. If you can run modern games at 1440p@60 then you should be able to run "competitive" games (LOL, CSGO, Overwatch) at at close to 1440p@144hz. I wouldnt buy two screens, since that would be a waste of money in my eyes. Rather spend it towards a better graphics next time or maybe get a screen with adaptive refresh rate. Those are typically more expensive. Long version: I got this monitor for a Black Friday deal at around half the price of the ASUS PG27 series (both TN and IPS). This Samsung screen uses the same panel as their quantum dot HDR screens. I've also had a chance of having all 3 of them side by side for two weeks now for comparison(Samsung, PG278QR and PG279Q). Even regardless of the price, my unit has a tiny amount of backlight bleed compared to ASUS models that have piss poor QC. No horrendous IPS glow either since it's a VA panel, excellent black levels. The image quality is very close to the ASUS IPS model, if only a bit less vibrant. Miles ahead of the ASUS TN. Responsiveness is on par with the ASUS IPS@144hz, while obviously behind the TN, as tested by eye without any tech. The only negative I can say is that it has some color banding when looking at test gradient images. However, I wasn't able to find a single game where that is at all noticeable. The one game I did find it in (destiny2 on the aurora borealis at the loading screen), color banding is present on all 3 screens equally, so it might be a game thing. No G-sync or Freesync... Otherwise, an excellent screen for the price, especially if found at a discount, imho. Oh, and did I mention that it doesnt seem to have garbage QC as the borderline not fit for purpose high-end IPS and TN panels from ASUS and ACER?

It does look like this is the trend. How fast this is moving though is a different question. I'd go with 1600 and put the extra money into the graphics instead

he's probably referring to the inconsistencies we've been seeing with he Ryzen platform and the general reputation of AMD to be hot.. Is 1.34V a BIOS setting? What's your actual Vcore under load? Also, how quick is "quickly"? I've seen my 1600X spike to a much higher voltage occasionally in Aida64 than the one it runs at most of the time

Try putting a load on it and see if it goes up to the correct frequency. You can see that the max frequency it has been at was 3.5, so it's probably in a down clocked power saving state at the picture. Try restarting HW monitor while under load if it doesn't change

It runs fine if I set the DOCP 3200MHz preset setting in the mobo (Prime X370 Pro) at stock 16-18-18-18-36 @1.35V and SOC voltage at 1.12500V. Running a 1600X and RAM in recommended slots (A2-B2). It also seemed to help setting DRAM voltage to 1.36 at one point during overclocking for overall stability, but I've never seen it not post in any case.

I've just upgraded my i7 930 @4GHz to a Ryzen 5 1600X. The CPU benchmark performance doubled, power consumption is much less and it runs much cooler. In games however it's a much more modest story. GTA does improve quite abit, and there are some cases of "lots of stuff happening on the screen" where you can definitely feel the difference. But you could definitely hold back for a generation more if you're only gaming. I do like my USB 3.1, actual SATA 3 support, UEFI BIOS and a few other modern platform updates that have come during the last 7 years..
