Thanks for you response! No its a passive cheap cable, active would probably solve it but with a high added cost so would like to explore possible solutions first EDIT 191024: I've gone ahead and ordered a new cable, still passive DP 1.2 but slightly more premium (40$ instead of 20$) and supporting 4k 60hz instead of 4k 30hz that was the previous cable's spec (even though it delivered 3440x1440 90hz). I've made a deal with the supplier for a free return if the problem still exist, will update on the matter

Hi! I have a Samsung SJ55W and a Gigabyte 2070 Super Gaming OC. I recently bought a Deltaco Displayport 10m Cable to replace my current 2m. When i first jacked it in it worked great and was able to deliver 3440x1440 at 90hz (had to turn down from 95hz previously but thats fine). But, when the computer is off/sleeping, the monitor keeps waking up every ~5 seconds to show "Displayport" in the top left corner. Probably because the monitor is recieving some sort of signal from the GPU even though its shut off? Also, as I've read from other threads, I too have trouble booting sometimes where the monitor/monitorcable hinders the computer from correctly booting up. This can be solved by either having the monitor shut off until the computer is booted, or by shutting down the computer and shutting down the PSU and then starting the computer. I have checked the notorious 20-Pin connector with a multimeter and I did not get a signal from it. Regardless i set to tinker with the 20-Pin-connector towards the screen to render it useless. But that did not change anything. I have checked powersettings and also bios settings (ErP is on for what it matters) and I have disabled wake computer via PCI to ensure that it does not deliver a steady current to graphics card. As the computer is hidden away, I need to have sleep mode working so that I can wake the computer via the keyboard. Having to manually shutdown the monitor every time is quite a hazzle. Anyone have any work arounds? The alternative and easiest tip to give would be "Buy a better cable". But its aggrevating that the cable itself delivers good solid bandwidth and its only this problem that makes it problematic. Also I have no stores in the vincity that sells 10m DP-cables so I need to order and take the shipping expense of returning it if other cables also shows problems. And I would prefer not to spend 100$ on a DP-cable as that could have been money spent on a better GPU instead. Thankful for any insights/tips!

Finally it arrived!

The filter supports 600 games including DX11-titles that RIS does not support? So "basically any game" seems a bit off?

The 2070 Super is around +13% faster in DX11 and +15% faster in DX12 than the 2070 when looking at an average over a multitude of titles in 1440p. Sweclockers (swedish site so use translate if you wanna read the text, but the graphs are the important thing: https://www.sweclockers.com/test/27800-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-super-och-rtx-2070-super/7#content) Provided the large cost difference the 2070 non-super might be good enough for you. I actually was able to buy a brand new 2070 Rog Strix OC for 350 EUR from a store (the store was moving), but I sold that for 450 EUR and bought a 2070S instead. Poor value choice but first new computer in 6years so I had the budget so for me it was more valuable to spend the extra money.

I would also get the cheapest 2070S with good thermals/noise levels. The higher end XT's are great but only gives ~2% performance gain from stock and dont overclock well. I really wanted a 5700XT but due to limited supply and prices for AIB's being pushed up, I was looking at an average ~15% performance gain (including a 7-8% OC) with the 2070S vs 5700 XT at around 15% higher cost. So basically 2080 performance when overclocked (Which i take is very much possible with still good noise levels when utilizing a decent 2070S partnercard. In Sweden i was looking at 540 EUR for Pulse and 625 EUR for 2070S Gaming OC. So I went with the 2070S Gaming OC. To pre-emt any comments on 5700XT/2070S performance difference, I am referring to 5700XT overclocked to safe low-noise levels vs 2070S overclocked to safe low-noise levels. 5700XT excel in other titles which brings it on par/slightly better than the 2070S, but all games averaged DX11/DX12 on 1440p resolution including OC, around +15% was the number I have found to hold quite true across many reviews. With that said, the 5700XT is an awesome card and as long as prices are +20% lower for a good 5700XT Partner card vs 2070S, that would be the most value oriented buy, if not go with 2070S if you find a good deal

Hey! I was really intrueged by the 5700XT Radeon Image Sharpening filter to combine with ~80% GPU-scaling to boost framerate with minimal performance loss. I was very glad to see that Nvidia now tries to emulate AMD's iniatives with their new sharpening filter. Have anyone had the time to test the filter both in terms of quality and performance loss? (half the performance loss from the detail filter according to Nvidia, but would be interesting to get a real test/opinion).

Hi, I have a B450 Tomahawk max, Ryzen 3600 and Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB 3200mhz 16-18-18-32. I am sharing my results in hope that others will share theirs and foremost give me pointers on what to do (seeing as Im a OC-noob) 1) I run latest BIOS available in MSI Live update and latest AMD chipset drivers (from AMD homepage= 2) I have increased DRAM-voltage to go to 3266mhz and tighten timings to 15-18-18-32 (ie. from 16 to 15 in first row). Tried more but dont seem to be possible except when increasing timings +18 3) I have used Ryzen Master to try standard, PBO, Auto-OC +200mhz but I never get any core to boost above 4150 mhz (running Cinebench single core). Atleast 1 core should be able to hit advertised boost clock?? Based on what I've read in forums, overclocking Ryzen 3000 does at best yield around +2-3% performance gain in some tasks while loosing out in short light burst tasks (such as opening Chrome). But due to my poor performance I've tried to use Ryzen Master to manually overclock. I have increased CPU-Core voltage to 1.38 and seem to be running stable with 4175 on CCX0 och 4150 on CCX1. This yields around +2,5% increase on single core Cinebench 20 (have not run multiple using just PBO to benchmark yet). Im running the CPU on a NH-D15 and never gone above 68C. Thinking of trying to increase the mhz now that I've increased voltage (tried running on 1.325 volts first but was unstable with the clock rates I used). Whats the best tool to ensure temps/stability for CPU-overclock? Just run cinebench for now to approximate gains. I will mostly/only be gaming but wont be able to benchmark games until I get my real GPU What are your experiences and any tips for me on how to proceed?

Hi there!I got a Samsung SJ55W (S34J550) this spring for my new build which will probably be built upon the 5700XT (or 5800 XT depending on when it arrives) or 2080/2070 SUPER. A key factor is however that freesync/adaptive sync will work well. From other forums I've heard that adaptive sync is supported on the screen but I've also heard that adaptive sync selldom is as good as AMD Freesync if the screen isnt specifically tailored for G-sync? Have anyone had any experiences with the SJ55W / S34J550 regarding sync and have they tried overclocking? Both areas are to weak for my current GTX 670 to really play around with

On second thought. The Scythe Ninja 5 seems to be lagging around ~2C behind the NH-D15 while delivering better db-values and coming in around ~20EUR cheaper. The test below showed them almost coming in at the same values (3700X could clock 25mhz on NH-D15 in the test) while Ninja is more quiet. Without replacing the fans on the Ninja, would you recommend this cooler in this price category when 1) silence 2) cooling is the priority? Or would you argue strongly to add 20 EUR for the NH-D15 and argue that the low noice from the NH-D15 is drowned by the system/chassis anyway? I do like that 6y warranty on Noctua and their overwhelmingly large community of users loving it. Continue reading the EDIT below EDIT: While the above stated good performance numbers (as well as many others showing it trailing close to NH-D15 and being on par with DR4PRO), Tomshardware's review gave a completely different response. I think I'm back to NH-D15 alternatively the DR4PRO (installation may be a hustle but I'm only going to do it 2-3 times in total) https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/scythe-ninja-5-cpu-cooler,5939-2.html You too mention that DarkRock4Pro have an advantage looking when comparing noise levels to the NH-D15, is the difference audible when enclosed in a R6-chassi (or other similiary sound damped chassis)? Im planning on a silent build so I am not expecting other noices to leak out so the chassi fans will probably be the only sound leakage.

Wow thanks for that amazingly detailed and thorough response. I completely agree and sympathize with the difficulty in capturing the noise/cooling-perspective in a perfect manner, especially seeing as the performance tests are taken from different reviews. Provided that the NH-D15 basically wins all reviews and related to your response, I believe that will be my pick, especially as i might like to bring it with me to future platforms and 6y warranty is appriciated (dont know how many fails but the fact that macho only offers 2y must be for some reason). Going with the 5700 XT for a graphics card now with a potential upgrade 2y hence also leaves me a bit of a budget for other components at the moment and I feel that the 3600 probably will suit all my needs with 12 threads for the coming 5-10 years (as I am not using the computer for productivity and will be gaming at 3440x1440p the CPU will hardly be a relevant bottleneck). If I see the GPU rise to an unwanted temperature, would you recommend first installing a air intake in the bottom (and perhaps elevate the chassis about 2-3cm to increase ground clearance) or would you opt for replacing the front intake fans with Noctuas? Seeing as I'm paying a premium for the R6 I would hope that the fans included will do the trick and would prefer to simply add fans rather than replace them? A bit of topic but are you familiar with the Silversotne KL07 chassis and have any thoughts in relation to the R6? Thanks again!

Can't really comment on the indistinguishable arguments as I myself havent compared GPU scaling+RIS with the native 4k other than viewing it on the Youtube-videos and not being able to really spot a difference even when zooming in and freezing frames (especially not if I would know which where which, which I feel is not the case with RT and high/ultra). Me too would like to see quantitative measurements, I have asked techradar to follow up with such a test to gauge the performance in a multitude of titles as well.

Yeah going for the 5700 XT now, and then if a significantly improved card with 100% RDNA and refined hardware is released 2020/2021, Im thinking I can sell and upgrade with perhaps a 200 USD drop in price without feeling to bad

Not being overly picky with visuals, the experience statements from Hardware Unboxed do inspire me with some confidence, atleast sufficient for me to try to stay my hand from the buy-button on a 2070 Super until the AIB 5700 XT cards comes out. Provided that the scaling works as well as it does (according to the tests made) it is a far more interesting feature for me than Ray tracing (at this time). But will try to test it before a purchase, or hope for more reviews to be made. "We turned on sharpening for the 1800p image and… wow. We were seriously impressed with the results here. It’s not a perfect recreation of 4K and still suffers from some of the general issues with post process sharpening, but in many scenes it’s incredibly close and virtually indistinguishable from the native image. True 4K has finer detail in foliage and other small elements, but you’d be hard pressed to spot a difference, especially without a side by side comparison."

Yeah I was also awaiting the 2080 Super but that was a great dissapointment so for me it's basically 5700XT, 2070 Super or 2080 non-super that are on the table (Seeing as I game way to few times to justify the 2080TI-pricepoint). As you say it basically comes down to if you can live with upscaled resolution or not. As long as there is a universal option for the scaling I dont really care if im looking at native or 70-80% upscaled provided that I cannot tell the difference without looking very hard in to the grass or something, so that trade-off turns 5700XT in to a very viable option for me.
