-9800X3D: ~10% improvement in gaming over a 7800X3D (which is still in production)
-9060xt 16gb: Performance variable compared to 5060ti, consider cheaper second hand options like the 3080
-9070: Currently more expensive than the 5070
-Q27G40XMN: Early shipments had firmware that effected local dimming with no way to update, otherwise considered a great monitor for the price.
-"Futureproofing": Nvidia gpus in general have been aging better than Radeon regardless of vram or marginal differences in raw performance

Leave any constructive suggestions for edits to the op. Is slowly being worked on.

>Day3 TV Cope
Still wondering what's causing Windows 11 windows resizing/fullsizing causing full screen black flicker every time I change a window size, some times
what is this ?
GPU hardware scheduling? nobody has been able to answer this
does not drop connection just full screen black flicker
I mean that's plain unusable, not that I will continue using a tv either way, just wondering what the fuck this is

>Day2 Using 55" tv as monitor
Why the fuck is the desktop intermittently flickering black? I sold my other monitor to get rid of this issue now it's even worse
and it's related to hardware acceleration or something and is app dependent?

example, I change video render in mpc hc and it no longer needs to full blackscreen putting it in full screen

but fucking around with chrome and minizming and switching apps around it flickers black, why? tired turning off hardware acceleration but it makes browser slow as FUCK and dropping frames like insane, seems like a retard solution

I'm realizing using multiple windows on a single 4k screen is kinda retarded also, I'm a full screen app per screen person, trying to manage multiple small 1080p windows is just fucking ass I think
