I imagine hu is similar to me in this regards, yes.

I'd much rather 144/165@1440 than 100/4k. Those frame drops are very noticeable imo

Comes down to what you are looking for.

110Hz to 144Hz is not noticable, just like 120 to 144hz.

Give me dat 4K HDR glory with adaptive sync all day.

Four 3090's in SLI for the 3 games that support it and you're ready to roll.

No more SLi, with 3080s.. think 3090s will do nvlink, but honestly no games support it. I went SLi ever gen since Little Kepler, even with my Titans, until 2080Ti. No games support it anymore, not at launch and maybe months down the road, which is too late.

It's not true 8K, idt. Per PCper, they are thinking it is some form of DLSS.

I think this is my next move unless I can get a 240 1440p and have a card that can do it within a reasonable price

Is there is even a monitor like that.

Absolutely. I can tell from 100 to just 144hz.

100 dropping to 60 is amazingly worse than 144 going to 100.

It has serious flicker issues with gsync and freesync. Made the LG GN950 an easy choice between the two.

Went with the Netgear Orbi wifi 6 mesh system AX4200, got a good deal on it for almost $100 off.

What do we do for monitors these days?

On my last build I got a sweet Korean 27" 1440p IPS pass through and pixel perfect.

Is IPS still the way to go if you aren't competitively fpsing?

I know it needs to be G-sync if I'm getting a 3080/3090. What about HDR?

For 2020 IMO and the one I've got pre-ordered on Amazon the best for the money is the LG GN950. They are sold out and don't stay in stock long as they just came out, last BestBuy stock was a couple days ago and was gone by end of day.

4K 144Hz HDR600 Nano IPS VRR.

You basically need an RTX 30 series monitor to take advantage of 4k 144 FPS tbh.

BTW - sort of fun game I've got into lately is playing Middl e Earth - Shadow of War.

It received a lot of shite as a sequel to Shadow of Mordor, but its fun as hell. Story is pretty much non-canon LoTR (some minor canon elements involved), but is a fun hack-and-slash game with some challenging AI in the Nemesis system.

Graphics look super amazing all maxed out with my 2070 Super too

No doubt, that's why I'm getting the 3080 equivalent AMD card when it drops.

That and PS5 in November, planning on using the PS5 mostly on the new monitor as well. Doubtful I do Zen 3.

Looks like HDMI 2.1 monitors are coming this "holiday season" which is needed for 4k 120+hz. What I read was that current display port can't do 4k 120+ hz without compression. Seems like it would be best to wait for one of these.

I think I will pull the trigger on a monitor tonight.

But here is a Pup-date with new Nephew (1st nephew)

No HDMI 2.1 isn't needed, DisplayPort 1.4 does it with no compression, it's called DSC, all new GPUs support it in current Navi and Turing.
