Right, but I'm more interested in games that actually matter when I start actually using it instead of jerking it to benchmarks.

yeah because all those 4090 owners really missed out when 3 years later their 4090s were worth more than what they bought them for

Is there a better or just as good monitor as the upcoming gigabyte mo27q28g that I could get from the sale on Amazon within the same price range maybe? I only have a 4080 GTX super so I don't even know if I can do 4k.

>>105863769
do you ever use upscaling of any kind

>>105863727
Completed it on Intel Arc.
Also completed too.

>>105863724
My current video card is already good enough to play all the new games.
There's 0 point in building a new pc right now to prepare for Witcher 4.

Also i waiting for Witcher 1 remake. Thats based game.

>>105863907
then 4K Ultra is out of the question

>>105863959
I mean I could use upscaling, just probably not for some games. I can't really say what the 4080 Super is capable of.

I bought a Fractal North but now I'm worried this thing is going to collect a lot of dust with no top dust filter. I'm using three 120mm intakes in front and one rear exhaust. Would adding a top exhaust fan help? I probably should have went with an AIO with a radiator for the top.

I thought you were immune to this shit as long as you don't go 3rd party seller?

>>105864063
That's why you always record opening tech stuff you order online. So you have video proof of the scam.

>>105864063
>arrives in weird packaging

either way

>That's why you always record opening tech stuff you order online. So you have video proof of the scam.
This shouldn't be necessary. If a retailer refuses to take back the item in the situation that the other posted narrated you should never buy anything from them ever again, and also sue them if you live in a country with proper consumer laws i.e. not burgerland

>>105864062
Not a brand war, what I've said is 100% correct objectively speaking and useful to someone building a pc
I've positively contributed to the zeitgeist with my post

>>105864122
>was it open box?
new. it was a replacement for one of 2 drives I purchased just a week prior. Both of those were genuine but one of them was actually fucked, like the platters were shattered or something, so I had to return it. Those arrived in proper consumer packaging with a manual, screws, etc. This replacement version arrived in a cardboard box with no manual, no screws, in a "water tight" bag rather than an anti-static one, etc

yeah I already refunded and boxed it up with my shipping label. First time this has happened with newegg, I've ordered thousands of dollars worth of shit there

Is there a specific type of usb I should use to install windows on a new pc? I don't have any usb drives and I'll need to buy one.

posted about not being able to get into bios on my new build yesterday, ty to the anons who gave advice

minor progress, after disconnecting the gpu I was able to get into bios and update + set pcie slot to gen4. reseated gpu, tested with both 12 cables that came with the PSU, then tested with the 4:1 adapter that came with the 5090 and it managed to get into bios ONCE. then moved it from the table to my desk and connected kb + boot drive and it's now stuck on POST again

the power to the 5090 seems fine, all of the fans/lights/lcd screen light up and it's playing the stock animations. I'm not sure if theres any easy way to confirm that the PSU is giving it consistent power. I think my next step is to open my current desktop and move my 3060 over and see if it will boot with that. any other suggestions are appreciated

my asus b850 mobo won't give any power or detect my gpu. tried multiple gpus, swapped power cables, nothing. any ideas? everything else is running fine

They all follow Amazon. When Amazon announces black friday week is when the proper deals start.

My 3070 started clicking and has had an annoying coil whine for a bit now. Is sidegrading to a 5060ti($600) or 9060xt($500) worth or am I being jewed?
Looking for 2 slot 2 fan card with a flow through. I can afford a 5070 but I don't want to cram my case with a shitty adapter and don't feel like spending another 300 for a new psu

>>105863452
Radeon fans believe that RT is and remains irrelevant. This is a religious issue. You either believe it or you don't.

>>105864449
Raytracing isn't real it's literally the same pixels lighting up on your monitor. Don't fall for the snake oil scam.

Are these GPU stands a real thing or are they the hottest heist going around. I get gpus are huge but is there metric to determine if you card needs a walking cane

>>105863987
> with no top dust filter
During use the fans blow air through the top and prevent any dust from entering the case. When not using the PC just put some cardboard/cover on top of it.

>>105863428
It's more fun for me to build them and then keep modifying them constantly like a ship of theseus

>>105863715
Just buy the microcenter replacement guarantee and break your card and use the store credit toward the newer card. This keeps scum from buying used and it gets you all your money back instead of just partial.

>>105864442
Get a deshroud mod or make one yourself (search for 3070 deshroud on Etsy).
>Is sidegrading to a 5060ti($600) or 9060xt($500) worth or am I being jewed?
This is so not worth it.

Wat? It uses normal pcie 16 pins. I literally pulled my 3060 out and put in a 5070ti 2 days ago. All I had to do was take off my ziptie for the second 8 pin plug.

>>105864567

I heard there is a 12P core coming I could switch to. Hopefully it doesn't suck ass.

>>105864783
it will have like 2 ccx's which sounds meh

>>105864716
The original leak for bartlett lake 12P is that its coming 2025 Q3. Not much other details other than linux commits confirming its existence.

>>105864883
I saw some specs but I don't see how this can be a significant gaming chip without some adjustment to how their cache is set up. You can already disable E cores on the older chips and the performance gain you get is negligible so how are they going to "get the gamers back" which effectively means competing with x3d chips with just small clock boosts on old alder lake tech?!

>>105864928
It's not a gaming chip. It was made for their edge computing customers and may never make it to retail.

>>105864976
There's a leak for an i5 of that architecture

Anyone using the Montech AIR 903 MAX with the fans than came with the case? How did you set the chassis fan curve?
I build my PC yesterday, the idle CPU temp is around 46C but little CPU spikes jump the temp up to 66C before the air cooler ramps up to steady the temp.
My problem is that the chassis fans ramp up as well and they're pretty loud for like 2 seconds before slowing down again. I'm a bit worried if I'd steady the fan curve they won't push enough air into the case when it's under load.

>>105862123
>>105862159
Thank you very much for the help. Tbh the Asus is really the max of my budget. The mini Led one is even more expensive but I feel like I'm entering a never ending cycle where I'm always looking at the next model up
I started out wanting a cheapo 1080p 24inch monoitor and now I'm at 27", 2K, HDR and whatever else.
I think I've been convinced to get the Asus, despite beign previously sold on the AOC.
I wanted Speakers but thinking about it they're likely going to be so shit it'll feel silly using them anyway. I do have some Creative Pebbles speakers I bought off Marketplace but like I said, they'd have to be placed like 2m away from the monitor.

You guys gave me this build a couple months ago. I bought it and everything was going well but now my PC keeps crashing. It crashes 10+ times a day and especially happens when I'm playing video games. Someone told me it's because of NVIDIA and it's shitty drivers. What do I do to fix this issue? Thank you for the help.

I should mention that I tried doing this:

KEK, I was in your situation, had a 5800X3D + 4090. I got me a 5070 Ti for the 5800X3D and made it my secondary gaming rig with a 27" display and for the 4090 + 4k display I got me picrel. Now I'm waiting for Zen 6 and the PTX 6090, can't wait to get rid of even more money.

>samsung SSDs still not in the op
...

>>105864585
Good for you if you are satisfied, I was disappoint. Mostly by the absurd price of the card here despite being 21% behind in RT on average. Drivers and price change may have improved this but come too late for me. I had to buy in March and picrel was the situation. I paid less for a 5070 Ti than that.

Because you're right. All the non-RT visual elements in that game were budgeted to run on a PS4.
The same reason why Diablo 4 isn't very graphically impressive in both gameplay scale and fidelity, it had to run on the PS4.

Get a pcie adapter instead. I have a b450 that does the same thing to my second full size pcie slot if I use my m.2 nvme slot. I doubt it would share lanes with your main pcie slot though, it's probably your second one it disables assuming you got a full size atx or atxe board.

your second pcie slot gets disabled. I can't think of a single board supporting 5.0 that disables or lane splits on it, it's always the 4.0 slot

32" gaming IPS monitor prices aren't that good atm, I believe there's going to be a few releasing in July or August that will be priced closer to $500.
There's an MSI 32" QD-OLED monitor priced @ $750, they have the strictest panel protection system btw.

Epic-X is PNY's better model.
It looks like the 5070 Ti Epic-X inherited the 5080's cooler.

Did Nvidia somehow change something with overclocking just with driver updates? I used to be able to get +400 stable but now +150 will bluescreen and +100 makes games crash.

Careful of the difference between m.2 nvme and m.2 sata ssd if you choose to get one. It will allow you to have further m.2 expansion at the expense of some of the speed. Worth it depending on pricing because you can stick up to four 512mbs or four 1gbs and run them in raid.

Is 64GB RAM overkill for a laptop?

Btw, this is using the same AUO panel in the msi monitor that coats 500 bucks.

I'm installing a 4080 super, on a Corsair x3500 and the screws for it won't go in properly, for the pcie slot.

Anon who was looking at monitors here
Was deciding between the AOC and ASUS.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-Gaming-Q27G4XD-FreeSync-DisplyPort/dp/B0CZ78S8GJ
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B086ZSLPN1?th=1

Was set to go for the Asus, just got 2 new final challengers at the opposite ends of the spectrum.
This one which seems much cheaper but has a lot of the same specs
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/297390261494
And this one which is mini-LED for £20 more
https://www.amazon.co.uk/KOORUI-Vertical-mini-LED-Adaptive-DisplayPort/dp/B0CFQRFX88

Any advice? I swear this is my last time asking and it's decision time now. I just found these in tabs I left open

>>105866685
Usage is PC, PS5, and Switch 2
Former not always for games.

I don't know if the jump to miniLED is worth it over iPS or what I'll lose. Thank you.

bros, does anyone have an official source about how much DRAM the SN850X 8TB SSD has? I've seen 2GB stated enough that I believe that, but I can't find any documents from WD/(Sandisk?) that confirms it.
Also thoughts on this SSD in general?

>>105866500
for a laptop? probably, but i enjoy the shit out of 64gigs on my new PC.

>>105866569
>27inch 4k monitor
what a retard. Consult the chart faggot.

>>105866628
grab some washers or something i dunno. One of the big flaws of almost all cases is that the rear-panel metal itself, and the screws you use to lock everything in, are too flimsy for the weight and forces required to hold up gpus.

>>105866857
WD blacks are generally great, whether physical or SSD/m.2. I wouldnt worry myself, although i am too paranoid these days about drive-failure to buy anything but high-end samsung stuff. But i do respect WD's Black range.

>>105866857
I bought one of those late last year
Performs like a fast gen4 drive despite its capacity so it's great

>>105866857
Likely varies with the capacity. 1GB/TB is a standard amount so 2GB would be reasonable. Understand that the DRAM on SSDs isn't there for data caching like your system RAM. It stores the flash translation layer, a map of "location on filesystem" to "location on disk", so you don't get more performance from having an excess.

How much multitasking and productivity benefits do you actually get from buying a better CPU?

Like, for the 7600x3d vs the 7800x3d vs the 7900x3d or 950, or a Zen 5 CPU, or something like a 14900 or better, is going for the 900/950, the 14900k/x etc really gonna make it so I could have both an internet browser with hundreds of tabs open, an image editor with many multilayer large images open, AND run a game, or is that going to be a struggle no matter what CPU I throw at it?

I'm actually wondering this even moreso for laptop CPUs, say the 8845HS vs a 8945HS, or a hx processor, again a 13900 or 14900 mobile one, etc

>>105867033
This is how CPUs have boosted since 2019 and they're not dying from it. Hell, GPUs have been doing it for over a decade. Plus, capping it at 80 won't appreciably moderate the cycling. You'd want to add hysteresis to your fan curves and maybe limit the EDC (though the PB parameters on your CPU are already conservative).

Which one?
Msi B850 Tomahawk $219
Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite $219

>>105867071
If you're not actively using the other programs while you game, eg. running a transform script on your image editor, they'll just get shunted to the background and consume minimal resources. Might make a dual core choke but you'd see little difference between 6 and 16. You'll definitely want more RAM though.

>70 series cards went from being $300 to $600 in the course of 3 generations.
The whole crypto shit proved people would pay retarded prices, and now those prices ain't never coming down again.

>>105867162
Nevermind. I just realized the price I was seeing wasn't real. They're now $900. $300 to $900 in 3 generations. For a graphics card. What the fuck?

Racking my brain trying to figure out how Asus does daisy-chaining monitors. They don’t appear to have a Displayport Out port. There is a Displayport port but it doesn’t say whether it’s in or out.

If I got two of these, i’d do a USB-C to Displayport from computer to Monitor 1, then a USB-C to USB-C from Monitor 1 to 2 right?

Yes I know they’re expensive

Those are normal temps and everything rapid heats and rapid cools regardless unless you have bad mounting.

>>105867019

>any way I can find out for you?
I don't think so. I also have one but I can't find the size in HWiNFO or anything. Much appreciated though.
As for those monitors, I don't know. I'd probably go with the Mini-LED one just because I see Micro-LED get shilled here all the time.

>>105867019
Cinebench gets your CPU hot because it makes it draw its full power limit (unless it hits the thermal limit first).
Games get your CPU hot/spike because they're doing something heavy on a single thread. This is just a hotspot scenario.

>>105867716
Thats what I thought. Ive always liked MSI more then Gigabyte. Thanks! I Pulled the trigger on it.

>4k monitors
Disregarding GPU computing power, is there any reason to go from 1440 to 4k:
- gamingwise
- workwise (internet browser, IDE, terminals)
- movies
My take is that the monitor size (32") is to small too justify 4K, at least TV size such as 55" has more sense.

>>105868788
By 1440 and 4k I mean native resolution size of monitor.

>>105866020
For 1440p the current 16GB cards are good enough. If you don't into AI you don't need more. The 24GB versions will be considerably more expensive. You won't get the VRAM upgrade gratis.

>>105868654
Fill your 5.25 bays

>>105868798
Dunno honestly, for me 1440p on a 27" display is crystal clear, but I'm saying this as I'm coming from a 34" ultrawide 1080p monitor. Going back to that is a disaster and I can't believe I used that for years. 4k is nice (my 48" TV is 4k), but everything becomes so small you have to use min. 175% upscaling anyway. I don't think in games you'll see too much difference, as 1440p is already sharp and no need for a top-tier GPU to produce playable framerates.

>>105868848
My North doesn't have 5.25 bays.

>>105868850
I wouldn't say it is crystal clear
for me you can easily see the softness of the image and lack of detail inside of game assets and far off details

5" inches of diagonal size makes that a difference?

But what about upscaling as mentioned by >>105868850 ?
Does it defeat the purpose of 4K for work related aspects or do I still squeeze more space as if I would with native 1440?

>Get the AOC if you want to stay within budget.
Thank you. I'd been convinced to go for the Asus, for the speakers and VRR. It's a bump but I told myself that hopefully the monitor will come in handy for some years and even after my current setup is defunct, which could be soon, then I can at least still use it for something else

For the G10 miniled, how would the screen compare with it being a miniled panel vs THE Asus IPS? I keep reading the contrast will be better but I don't know what that means in real terms

>>105869703
That Koorui G10 monitor has hardware issues.
It claims to be a 240Hz monitor, but the monitor can't handle refresh rates above 165Hz with HDR on or 120Hz with adaptive sync (VRR) enabled.

To be honest I'm not massively fussed about 240hz. The Asus is only 180hz or so anyway, and I don't see myself pushing 120hz much because I'm not an esports gamer
If you discount that then is it worth it? I've just been doing a lot of searching and there's all the talk about how amazing minileds look, but I genuinely have not seen them in person and Prime offers expire soon.

Which will offer a great picture to where a brainlet like me doesn't have to tinker and can just say "wow so impressive"?

>>105869347
airflow towards the gpu? A modern gpu's intake is below that point. Then you have the pci slot, cmos pattery, extension slots, and southbridge that are all the same height ready to block any flow even if you left that empty. Do you mean side exhaust from the gpu? Well one side blows into the motherboard and it is what it is.

The problem with miniLED monitors is most content, including Windows and web content, is mastered in SDR.

>You'll definitely want more RAM though.

Even with 64gb of RAM, I find that having Vivaldi open with a few hundred to maybe 1500 tabs tends to almost max out my memory. I know that computers often use more RAM then they really need, so maybe it's not *actually* using that much, but I don't have a way to tell if so

>>105871546

It's a recolored ASUS Prime with 1 fewer CPU power phase (2x7+2+1 vs 2x6+2+1) and fewer M.2 heatsink, not the end of the world.

Is it bad to put gpu in second slot instead of first?

>>105871546
I have like 4000 tabs in my Firefox session and it's only using 4.6GB or so. Does Vivaldi not unload inactive tabs?

>>105871546
It depends for how long you keep your browser open too, memory leaks are also a thing. On Firefox I noticed that jewtube tab or jewtube embed can eat few GBs of RAM, sometimes extensions (I have ublock and noscript) get broken and instead of using about 300 MBs they use 2 GB or more, also there is Firefox GPU subprocess which also can use a lot of RAM and constantly use CPU even though nothing is being played anymore. Restarting processes/extensions or closing/refreshing tabs helps,

>>105871674
It depends on your board's PCIe configuration; sometimes it can be very bad.
You want to install the video card in the first x16 PCIe slot because it directly communicates with the CPU.
The lower slot usually passes through the chipset, and these might not even support Gen 4 x16 bandwidth.

i tried to stress test my computer by opening mutiple copies of desth strandong and one of them crashed so i ram memtest and it shows 2 errors

my ram is corsair 64gb in 2 sticks 6000mhz XMP but i have an amd cpu and im running them with corsair's overclock setting

It says the second slot supports PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16, so it's not bad.
I've seen some Z690 boards restricting the 2nd x16 slot to Gen 3x 4.

>>105871927
An inherent problem of capitalism (I'm not saying communism is better we just haven't found a better system yet) is that line must always go up. If a company makes a perfect product once they have sold one to every person on earth what do they do after that? They would cease to exist because there is no reason to exist anymore. Companies have an incentive to make products good but never great otherwise you won't need them anymore.

i cant even reboot my computer and get back into the bios

amd sucks, it either turns off my keyboard at the same time the bios screen flashes where it wants you to hit F2, or it stalls on a black screen for 5-15 minutes trying to optimize the memory

i have restarted and flicked the power switch like 20 times now

i never had this trouble with my 10600k

>>105871993
The first slot is technically better if there's no physical limitation.
Performance gain might be imperceptible, though.

>>105871674
most likely
usually only the first pcie slot goes directly to the cpu while other goes through the chipset

>>105871947
doesn't the table at the bottom mean that if you use the second slot it will be only x8

posting AGAIN wanted to make absolutely sure my 5090 was the problem.. and now I'm unsure

> not able to POST while 5090 connected regardless of other components (1-2 ram sticks, etc.)
> randomly messing with connections, double checking bios while displayport is connected to the motherboard
> reseat the 5090 for one last check before I box it up to return
> boots no issue
> realize the displayport is still on mobo, switch it to GPU, display is working fine
> system sees the 5090, able to update driver, monitor temps, etc.
> if I reboot WITH displayport connected to the 5090 it will not POST
> if I reboot with displayport connected to mobo, and then connect it to the 5090 after it boots everything seems to work fine
> super consistent, rebooted half a dozen times each with display connected to mobo vs gpu. it always boots if the displayport is connected to the mobo, and seems to work fine after switching back to the 5090. it always fails POST if displayport is connected to the 5090 or disconnected entirely

anyone have any idea what the fuck is happening here? is it skipping the check against the gpu if the displayport is directly connected to the mobo? could this be an issue with the mobo itself? or is my displayport cable so fucked that its somehow causing the 5090 to fail POST? I really don't want to have to return this and wait for a new one if I don't have to

on later passes the error wasnt found and i reset it to default speed and it found no errors then i loaded the standard oc profile and it found no errors

what do you think it meabs?

it said both errors wre on stick b2

>>105872180
Could be issue with Displayport 2.1. Maybe try setting the monitor to DP 1.4 if you can, or maybe your cable is not the 2.1 one and that somehow causes issues. You could also try different drivers as there were plenty of issues with DP 2.1 early on

>>105870908
your case fans shouldn't go much above idle speeds, where (good) 120mm are plenty silent
and that's the benefit of bigger cases, you can just have more and bigger fans which obviously means more air moving through it
the loudest fans in your system is usually from the gpu, then the cpu/aio, then case fans

most matx cases are perfectly fine for airflow, you just have to stick fans in all the fan spots

>>105863464
In other news. Customs decided to randomly inspect the pc case that should’ve arrived today. So this beast won’t be able to stretch its legs until Monday

>doesn't the table at the bottom mean that if you use the second slot it will be only x8
The table says the 2nd slot is "N/A" in single VGA card config.

>>105872180
Try different DP ports in the video card, use a different display cable (ex. HDMI).
Check if there are any firmware updates for that 5090 in the manufacturer's product support page..

>>105872361
It means the Corsair OC profile you used was unstable for your CPU & board.
If you got a different 6000MT/s CL30 setting working stably, it's all good.

I would consider updating the board BIOS to the latest stable version if you haven't done it already.
I'd revert BIOS to stock settings before updating BIOS just to be extra safe.
Some boards automatically revert the BIOS settings to default when you choose to update it.

i bought it for the meme factor

>>105872407
I think you messed up getting the 3050.
7500F or 7600/X is overkill for that system.
Set a stricter power limit if you get the 7600X.

>>105865424
Did you try turning it off and on again?

>>105872407
well you only like two options? 9600x or 9700x, both being 65w zen5

>>105872498
7600x is 105w and more expensive than 9600x

>>105872507
It's not that hard to set a power limit on the -X CPUs if they're cheaper than the non-X.

how big of a jump is going from 3900x to 9950x3d?
i feel like i was getting cpu bottlenecked in some games with my 3080ti

>>105872432
yeah maybe it doesn't work like this
still, that anon should check gpu-z, it will show him if the gpu uses only x8

>>105872594
Not a crazy difference @ 4K, it can be a big difference at 1440p and lower. But your 3080Ti will be the main bottleneck @ 1440p & 4K.
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/
TechPowerUp changed their CPU testing after the 9800X3D review; there's no direct comparison available for the 3900X vs 9950X3D.

>PC monitor has USB ports
Anyone ever used that? How purely optional are those one? I only can count following use case:
- usb hub for mouse, keyboard, webcam
- usb charger for phone or external speakers (that if PC monitor can direct some voltage, while not being connected to PC)

Also, while I understand that USB type B often acts like input/upstream port, I am confused about USB-C in general.
Because USB-C can act upstream port AND / OR handle video signal? I am confused about this. Can it do both or are they have to be split / dedicated for each role?

Besides, I never saw GPU with USB-C. I understand that 1x HDMI + 3x DP is most popular config as far I saw. Is this still novelty or USB-C is behind capabilities of HDMI and DP?

>>105872826
i use ports on monitor for charging mkb and bt speaker

>>105872826
I used to connect my controller via my monitors USB slots but my new PC has native bluetooth so I dont need it anymore. I remember that the USB ports would disconnect if I switched from DP to HDMI so I couldn't use them for microphone or other things when I wanted to play on console with the PC being active for VoIP or other things.
>I never saw GPU with USB-C.
I think it's more a notebook thing.

>Does Vivaldi not unload inactive tabs?

It didn't used to, and even now it only does if the memory maxes out unless you turn a specific extra memory saver feature on. Which i'd use, but there's no apparent way to whitelist certain websites from not being hibernated

>>105871702
In my expierence Vivaldi is the least bad with this vs firefox or other chromium browsers, but it may still be a factor

>>105863452

fug even input-leap works better on my PCI-e x1 Intel NIC compared to Realtek's. Or maybe mine's just ultra shitty

Anyone here who owns or has tried this monitor: MSI Mag 256F https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZWCG65X

Its surprisingly difficult to pick a 1080p IPS 100+hz monitor because some of the negative reviews always keep me hesitating from buying. I would gladly pay like 50-100 bucks more if there was like a well known premium model with guaranteed high quality and longevity but I havent found one like this so far...

>>105873937
At least it's easy to carry outside when you need to clean the dust out.

>>105873942
>HDR 400
>IPS Panel
Don't do it.

>>105873942
It's a VA panel. Might have some smearing, but it's fine if you know what you're getting into.
I think it's a good deal, Innocn is an OEM. They make Acer monitors.
Not many reviews for that specific model.

>>105873970
There's an ASUS ROG XG259CS, but I don't think this justifies the extra $60 premium.

>>105873983
These monitor's Amazon listing is such a shitshow.
>Product name says model is "34G1R".
>Product Information says it's "34E3R".
>Product description says it's the "34G1R" model.

>>105874082
So what panel is it now? I had once a miniLED VA here for a few days with HDR 1000 I think and it was a bright mess. The HDR 600 IPS Panel I have now is nearly the same.

>>105873937
It doesn't have a dust filter in the front?

>>105874043
The asus monitor looks interesting and its also available on amazon where I live. I have put it on my list for now. I figured even tho prime day ends in like an hour I shouldnt rush and just order something just because its a sale.

>>105874110
If we go by the model in the product name (34G1R), it's a VA panel.

one of them ips's are like 3 visits to mcdonalds to me, it's not that serious, you should not have fomo over it

>>105874146

>>105874189
While you are correct that they arent that expensive my main issue is I just ideally wanna get one that works well and wont break in a year or so plus I dont wanna deal with endless ordering one, testing it out only to realize it has dead pixels, ghosting or terrible more than average backlight bleeding and then packing it up and send it back again to try another one. I wanna get one that I can count on keeping you know.

>>105874296
>and wont break in a year or so
up to rng hope for the best though on some reliable brand

>testing it out only to realize it has dead pixels
dead pixels are approved in the ISO standard unless you buy professional grade monitors so you are stuck swapping regardless if bad rng

>ghosting
all ips have ghost compared to oled or even tn

>terrible more than average backlight bleeding
standard ips + ips glow, or buy oled

>I wanna get one that I can count on keeping
too big demands for 199$ monitors unless you get a 1440p oled for 400-500 or something

>>105874366
Yeah theres lots of rng involved I guess. Ive been using a very old TN monitor and never had an IPS one before so im a bit concerened about the glow. Ive tried both and I prefer a 24 monitor over larger sizes and 1440p just doesnt make sense even if my GPU could handle it and OLED is just way over the top for my needs. Idk if youre the anon who suggested the asus strix XG259CS but I might actually get that one.

>>105874423
>Ive tried both and I prefer a 24 monitor over larger sizes
a 27" monitor place 3" further back is the same percieved size
so you will never have a good monitor from now on then? they are refusing to make decent 24" ones
>and 1440p just doesnt make sense even if my GPU could handle it
you just get better panels even going to a budget 1440p from a budget 1080p
>TN monitor and never had an IPS one before so im a bit concerened about the glow
some hate glow and even prefer tn
but there is a difference between glow and blb
idk how bad it is on ips monitors these days and i dont wanna find out
