Windows just hasn't quite figured out how to snap properly on ultra wides
How do you mean? I've never really run into issues with it. And I snap windows pretty much constantly

Windows should have more snapping ability with ultra wides compared to a normal monitor. Not just your left half, right half, top half, etc. When Windows detects a 21:9 resolution, it needs to open up 3rd of the screen snapping

That's pretty sweet. Will be nice to finally have that when we upgrade to W11 at work

I still use the traditional half screen split 99% of the time, but it's nice to have the options now without needing a 3rd party plugin to do it.

Y’all keep that shite away from me. I spend enough money on my gaming rig. I don’t need any homelab temptations

Are you gaming on 11? I was under the assumption I'm not supposed to upgrade from 10 but those are just thoughts from the jump between 7 and 10

Going from a custom white box server, HP DL380 G8, big ole SAN and a Dell R720XD to a single server will end up saving me more money on power then it will cost me to upgrade

There were some initial problems with cpu performance, particularly on AMD platforms, in the first few months of the rollout of 11. Those have all been ironed out. At this point, 10 and 11 have functionally the same performance, with 11 sometimes crawling ahead slightly, but always within run to run variance/margin of error.

I'm on 10 Pro still right now... Worth upgrading to 11?

It’s honestly a very marginal upgrade, at least as far as I can tell. But, they did add more window snap options in 11, so it was worth the free upgrade for me

Finally upgraded to a 1440p monitor... my first one ever
Got a Dell S2721DGF for $299 + tax. Supposed to be arriving today.
What do you guys think? Can my 5600x/2070 Super combo last me a few more months before the RTX4000/RX7000 series launches?

The short answer is yes; the longer answer is it depends
So you're at 1440 with a top refresh of 144hz. Remind us which games you primarily play?

A mix of stuff, mostly single player, but I do play online occasionally.
League of Legends
Age of Empires
Fallen Order
Witcher 3
Shadow of Mordor/War
Jurassic World Evolution
Dirt Rally
Just to name a few.

1440p/144hz is a perfect sweet spot. Your setup should be fine running it

You'll be just fine. You likely won't be able to play the heaviest ones fully maxed out at ultra and get 140hz+, but you can likely still play those at High at 100hz+. Enjoy
P.S. Make sure you look into and set the overdrive setting for your monitor, if you have one. Common rookie mistake akin to not setting xmp on your RAM

It's official, going back to team red. Just bought a 6900 XT
