I have a build with 3070 on order for ~$1500 that is supposed to arrive early August that I can cancel anytime or refund after it ships. Hoping something better pops up between now and then but worst case, I got something under my budget.

Alright I turned off EEE, Advanced EEE, Power Saving Mode, and the power management options that allow the computer to turn off the device to save power and it still doesnt work on start up without turning it off and back on in adapters

Pentagon cancels $10 billion cloud contract with Microsoft. Looks like Amazon gets it afterall.

Big loss for MS.

Samsung bringing a nutty new and massively improved G9 49" ultrawide to the market for $2,700 in September.

quote:

5120×1440 240Hz 1ms GtG 1000R curved VA panel, but this time with a mini LED backlight with 2048 zones and ‘DisplayHDR 2000.’

While the DisplayHDR 2000 certification doesn’t (yet) exist on VESA’s website, we assume it implies a peak brightness of 2000-nits.

maybe its the old in me, or the fact i dont use spreadsheets, but I did not like the g9 and the way it stretched things around in full screen. For multiple windows and trading it would be great, but I utlimately went the cx 48' because I liked it better.

I'm not an ultrawide guy as I just play competitive MP only really.

The specs on that thing sure are insane though.

TechSpot reviews the 2021 48" LG C1 as a gaming monitor

Good review. Still too big for me but if that 43" does come I think I can make that work. Does have a lot of PC drawbacks since it is a TV.

That's too much monitor for me. My 34" 3440x1440 gets me motion sick sometimes

Only monitor purchases I'll be making soon are swapping my ultrawide secondary screen for 2 4k LG monitors to somewhat match my main. I might get a super cheap 43-48" 4k TV to mount above them all

I'd buy an OLED monitor that wasn't more than a TV oled in a heartbeat.

I'm gonna start trying for a 6800 again here soon as we get closer to fall games. 6700XT worst case.

If I have to 3070.

How does the 6800xt perform compared to the 3070ti and 3080?

6700xt was really easy to get

I’m gonna keep trying for a 6800xt and sell my 3070ti if I land one. The 6800xt is just really solid at that price point.

I already had a 6800XT close to launch and sold it to a friend due to my downtime not playing anything.

But getting closer and closer to fall releases so ready to get something again.

Need to look at benches for 6700XT again. ETA: meh, think I'll try and get the base 6800.
