I tried to pay for this promotion last night but missed the credit card authorisation on my phone as it was two floors away. I went to make the purchase again this morning, and while the promo for the 50% discount for the week is still live, the pricing is no longer discounted when I go to check out. Is the promotion over?

Hello,
As title says, I am having issues when playing with G-Sync + HDR on my new Philips OLED809 TV.
What happens is that HDR doesn't seem stable and keeps turning on and off. I can see this because the screen will get black sometimes with brief sound interruption, and the TV gives me the signal of HDR getting on repeatedly.

This is what I could investigate:
- If I set the TV Picture settings to Monitor Mode - I can play with HDR + GSync simultaneously, but the "AI" of the TV keeps switching the Picture mode to Gaming Mode, and I haven't seen any setting to turn this "AI" off and let me manually select and keep the Picture Mode I want.
- On Gaming Mode, the HDR keeps switching on and off if G-Sync is on.
- Can play with Gsync or with HDR perfectly as long as both are not activated simultaneously.
- DDU and windows format didn't work
- Since it works fine with Monitor Mode I'm guessing changing cable won't make any difference.

I've contacted Philips customer support, which said they will forward this issue to the tech team and come back to me, but am expecting no good answer back, It seemed they understand less then I tbh lol.

My guess is that the Gaming Mode of the TV has some underlying settings/software that does not allow HDR to be stable if G-Sync is on (am far from expert though).

Any help/suggestion to solve this is very much welcome and appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Playing with 4090 with I9 processor.

I haven’t really been keeping up with the news but did the 4080 super and 4090 get discontinued? They are basically out of stock everywhere I look.

Hello,

I recently bought an RTX 2060 6 GB graphics card. My PSU has 460 watts. I previously was using an RX 570, which had no problem with my monitor. After installing the RTX 2060 black screen issues occurred. One week later after research, I found out that the latest Nvidia drivers was causing the black screens. Yesterday after downgrading to version 556.12 I had only one random black screen. Today to 552.55. I will update you if there's any change. If you have encountered the same problems, let me know, and your fix.

Trying to play BG3 split screen across two monitors, works great besides the fact that the identity markers for the screens don’t disappear when surround is enabled, so im stuck with them whilst trying to play, any idea how to fix?

I got some time to get back to the game of hardware, upgraded my bios and took a look on my past posts.

I have a rog strix x470 f gaming with a 2700x cpu + 32GB ram + 3050.

I`m planning to upgrade to a 5800x3D + 3070TI.

I`m comparing it with many cards and it seems, my best option here?

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4060-vs-Nvidia-RTX-3070-Ti/4150vs4116
this is against the 4060 for example.

according to my CPU compatibility (asus manual), more powerfull options than the CPU 5800X3D are waaaaay far more expensive.

so any tips if it will have any bottheneck with a 5800X3D + 3070ti? I assume I will not have godly fps but if there`s a better card than the 3070ti with a not crazy price, I would be happy to know.

My current build

Stalker 2 all epic for testing ( I know the game is not optimized but the ~optimized~ guide and epic seems the same performance to me ( even low is only a bit faster )

Should the RTX 3080 deliver the results? I saw better scores (fps) even with a higher resolution. I want to buy it, what do you guys think?

As title. A bit of background:

My EVGA GTX 1080 blower is at least 6 years old now. I've got the graphics card hooked up to a mix and match of 3x monitors. I used to do a fair amount of PC gaming, but this is no longer the case (although I rarely play a bit of BeamNG and Rainbow 6 Siege). The rig is primarily used as a workhorse for 3D rendering, modelling and virtual reality design. I have noticed that over the past week at random times since updating Windows with the most recent update, the screen on the main monitor goes black for a second, and then comes back on like nothing happened.

I've replaced the monitor, HDMI cable, tried different outputs on the 43", updated graphics drivers, and still the same thing, so I'm assuming that the GPU is on its last legs (or Windows gibbed the display, but haven't found much documentation on that). The 43" is also connected to a PS5 on another output, and doesn't have the same issue.

HWMonitor registers around 63C on the GPU when having Fusion open. PC is regularly cleaned and free from dust.

Unfortunately, my budget is incredibly tight (£150-200) so I'm looking for a used GPU. Any recommendation on similar spec to the GTX1080 would be appreciated. I want to be able to fit it and forget it for the next 2-3 years.

Current spec on PCPartPicker.

Monitors:

• 43" Samsung 4K HDR Q60T (Main)
• 24" Samsung 1080p Curved
• 19" AOC E970Sw 1366x768

Hello everyone, I bought a 2nd hand 2080ti Twin fan and I'm facing issues with the temperatures. When I first bought it, the was hitting 84°C while I was gaming and I think it was throttling cos that's the limit I set in MSI afterburner. Fans were definitely running at 100% in game. So I decided to repaste the GPU(my first time) hoping to lower the temperatures.

My fans now run quieter but it still hits the limit at 84°C. If i blast my fan at 100%, it drops to 82°C and stays there. I have dug around the Internet and I'm at my wits end on what to do because nothing seems to be working. Including a undervolting guide I found online. Seriously how do people keep temperatures of their gpu between the 70-80°C range(sometimes even 60+°C). Do they blast their fans on 100% all the time while gaming?

Hope someone here can help. I have tried repasting thermal paste (twice cos i thought i messed it up the first time), no issues with case airflow(removed side panel, didn't change anything), undervolting. Nothing seems to help bring down the temperatures. Room temperature is around 28-30°C, I live in a tropical country

As the title suggests

I'm a first time PC builder and this is what I chose after much deliberation. I'm going to be doing gaming, streaming, video editing, music creation and many other intensive things, I think this will be a good enough pc that can last 4 to 5 year with 1440p visuals and good fps. please give advice if you want since I have only just ordered the CPU and the Storage.

Hello all, My RTX 3050 is lagging since i installed the last update of Nvidia game ready drivers.

Is there anyone who shares this problem, or someone who has tips to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

HI All - I've tried searching google but perhaps my google-fu is just not working today so I am hoping someone here can help. I don't think this is a tech support issue as there is nothing wrong with my card

I just need help identifying what a port on the back of my card does

My card has 7 ports on the back of it - 3X HDMI (which are all being used for my current three monitor setup), 3X Display Port (which are unused) and what appears to be 1X USB-C

I can't find an single image of my video card anywhere on google so I can understand what I am doing and the GeForce Experience app is rather useless

I want to connect a 4th monitor - can I use the USB-C port (and find a USB-C to HDMI cable) to add the 4th monitor? Can I use one of the display ports to do it (I dont have a cable for this)

Does the card allow a mix of display port and HDMI connections? Does it actually support 6 (or 7) monitors or is 3 the max and I should activate the 4th using the onboard CPU HDMI port?

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Gonna go pick up a 4070 ti super for $760 un opened factory sealed from a guy on offer up. Seems like a pretty solid deal to me any thoughts? Asus Tuf btw

I bought a 24 pin lian li strimer plus v2, and i’d like the gpu extension to match the width(which requires 12VHPWR). However, i have a bronze older power supply (evga b5 850w) so i have 3 vga (pcie) cables plugged into the nvidia 12VHPWR cable, which is pluggged into my 4080 super. To get the 12 light guide lian li to match my 24 pin id need to connect the 3 vga to the nvidia 12vhpwr and then into the LIAN LI extensions, would this be safe? Thank you

hi guys just wanted to ask about this for a better second opinion, i’ve currently got a 4060 and i wanted to go for an upgrade and sell my current one off when i get the chance, though i haven’t heard great things about the 4070 in comparison to other cards? so i was wondering would it be better to go for the cheaper option of the 4070 or save up a bit longer and go for the 4080 instead, any constructive suggestions or thoughts are welcome and appreciated, thanks!!

Looking to upgrade my 1060 6gb I've had since 2016. Currently there is a sale on and I can either get a 3060 12gb or a 4060 8gb for a similar price (40% off). The 4060 Ti, 3070, 4070 and AMD cards aren't on sale so would be double the cost. I have a 1080p monitor, 16gb of RAM, core i5-10400F, PRIME 410M-K motherboard and a 450 watt PSU (Gigabyte P450B). I don't want to change the rest of the build as much as possible, especially the PSU.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the GT 1030.

I found a 4GB Vram version in a local store here in Germany and for me as a poor student who just want to play some of the games I played during my youth this card is awesome!

Very small power consumption, which saves my money, and the price for the card itself is also very low.

And all games I'm playing run perfectly fine.

I'm sorry if this post is inappropriate, but I'm so happy right now that I had to share this with you guys :)

I could get a brand new one from my workplace for 840€ is it a good price to be worth flipping the card afterwards? What would it go for? 1000€?

I'll be referring to 2560 × 1440 as 1440p and 3840 × 2160 as 4K.

I was fortunate enough to grab a 9800X3D, which has been an amazing upgrade from my 9900K. I'm waiting for the 50XX series GPUs to upgrade from my 2080 Ti, which is currently severely bottlenecking me in most games. I currently play at 1440p @ 180Hz and am considering either a new 4K monitor or just sticking with 1440p. My concern is that I'm very happy with 27-inch monitors at 1440p, so while the jump to 4K would be nice in terms of sharpness, I question whether it’s actually worth it, given how much more demanding it is. I understand that the 4090 is fantastic for 4K gaming, but even then, driving 4K at 180Hz is no slouch, and even the 4090 struggles in some games. This is making me think it's probably best for me to stay at 1440p since I’m happy with it and enjoy the higher FPS it offers.

So, I'm looking for experiences, opinions, and suggestions from those who have a 4090 and play at 1440p. I play all sorts of games, but I primarily enjoy competitive FPS games, so high framerates are a priority. This may sound crazy, but I’m kind of planning on getting a 5090 and pairing it with the PG27AQDP. Thoughts? Am I crazy?

So I bought a MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G GAMING X TRIO from Amazon but they have cancelled my order due to an issue with my account and can be up to 3 days to get it sorted so I was thinking about going elsewhere to buy it, but no where else near me stocks that exact card..

I can get a Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB WINDFORCE V2 instead but I'm not really sure what the differences are, if any?

Should I just settle for the Gigabyte one or wait until I can get the MSI that I originally wanted?

The PNY is a deal at my local Walmart. I don't think it's active anywhere else atm.

Does any one know any video comparing the evolution of DLSS?
Every time i search for example "DLSS 2.0 vs 3.0" It shows what Framegen does, and i want to see the evolution of the DLL specifically,like the 3.5v vs 3.7v which reduced a lot of the ghosting.
Thanks

I’m looking to upgrade my PSU from Thermaltake smart 600w 80+ cuz is being bad and need a better one for that card and my motherboard has pcie 3.0 slot so idk if it’ll work and I use i7 8700 CPU. I’m not looking to build a whole PC i really need GPU back to be able play modded games, i haven’t been playing PC for 2 weeks since 1060 is toast I’m getting really bored and no way i have to wait till I save up to buy a brand new PC I really mean it, idc if my PC is mid or price.
