Finally pulled the trigger on some more monitors. I've been down to one since I moved back in November (wife got my 1440p monitor and I took my ultrawide to work). Too good of a deal on eBay for some 4k HP displays. Will feel nice to be back to a triple display setup.

At the rate graphics cards are plummeting, might have something new by the end of the year too

Speaking of, I think I'm finally gonna get one myself.

Samsung unveiled their new lineup and they've got a 32" 4K mini LED 1,196 zones 165Hz with 2K nit brightness and HDR2000 certification.

Exactly what I've been waiting for.

The 240Hz version is already listed in EU and it's $1500.

So hoping this 165Hz version is $1300 or so.

What programs are y'all using these days for benchmarks and GPU/CPU controls?

I just did this benchmark and wondering why vanilla Minecraft is giving me slight fits.

Probably need to configure the ram usage at the launcher. I had a similar issue when trying to play a while back

Bumped it up to 8 and the trees still drop me into the 40-50 range. Bonkers.

How much RAM do you have? Turn your render distance down?

Big news here looks like the AMD cards will be the first to support DisplayPort 2.0.

Yuge.

I mean, yay, but don’t think I would call it huge. I have to think the percentage of users who will need anything beyond DP 1.4 this Gen will be vanishingly small. But huzzah for those people, I guess

Well HDMI2.1 already isn't enough so I will stick with huge.

For what vanishingly small usage case? Three 4k monitors that need to push 60hz each?

That's, what, like 0.00001% of even the PC enthusiast population?

Lol you are way off base. Look up the specs you clearly are very confused if you think that's the usage. Samsung and LG both have 4K 240Hz monitors coming out this fall. Guess what those require? DP2.0. Want to run a pair of 4K high refresh monitors? Need DP2.0.

Let me see if Nvidia is going to have it so you can suck it off one sec.

ETA: Looks like only Intel and AMD have confirmed/leaked DP2.0, would assume Nvidia as well they are all instantly moving to it.
