Thats a Big Ass Monitor!

 

 

 

 

 

 

That CPU Interior looks soo neat, i keep fighting against dust on mine

 

Not very PC related but this is where I spend most of my time in front of a screen.

 

Lenovo Y570 paired with a PS3 controller, on a 42'' tv.

 

Can't do more in a 3*1/2 apartment!

Monitor upgrade. Dell U3415W Curved w/Dell MSA14 arm. Out of box calibration report looked good so haven't touched a thing yet. Doesn't look I will have to. Definitely need Windows 10 and Modern apps in a Window with this much resolution. Windows Scaling works great at 1440p, at least at 120%.

 

Keen to do a review, would like to know how to this goes, and works. Looking at one of these, i guess they are more for a gamer than someone using to work like things.

Returned it. In the middle of viewing, bzzzt. Smell electronics. Internal power supply fried. Unacceptable for $1k monitor. Returned for refund. For productivity though, the workspace can't be beat. Picture quality was great. Not a lot of 21:9 entertainment support. Significant backlight bleed.

 

Rumored 120hz G-sync models 2nd half of year at least from Acer, but IPS not confirmed. Decided to go with a 1080p G-sync, 144hz, monitor until the next gen of 34" is available. It's what I want, but too soon, production quality is not where it needs to be at the $1k price point.

I haven't played Asetto Corsa but have played project cars.

 

How would I setup Asetto Corsa to utilise everything as much as possible?

Triple Monitor Setup, there are some external apps for asetto that you could find and put on top, but i havnt tried them yet. you gpu should take it all on ultra

Ah I see. I thought you meant it natively utilised four. I will take a look.

 

I have played Grid 2 & Project cars over three monitors which was cool.

Care to share your build that makes it able to run 4K? Thanks,

Well any video card with dp1.2 is going to run 4k @ 60hz res but assuming you mean gaming.. i5 4690, 8GB 1600, and a OC 280x, ssd etc so as you can tell from those specs you won't be running @ 4K on ultra or even all high settings but I was surprised with the mix of high and medium settings that FC4 and DAI ran on.  I ended up dropping it down to 2560 for FC4 though and upping the settings, scaling works very well and better than it does on the 3415W.

 

Thanks for that. What do you think about this build? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ctW7P

 

Do you think that'll be able to handle 4K?

Yup, frustrating when that happens! There are only really 3 games which I will put serious time into this year and that is batman AK, GTA 5 and battlefront, 2 of which are pretty much guaranteed to have proper 21.9 support so I'm happy enough.

 

I just cannot go back to a 16.9 screen now. Thinking of picking up the Samsung 34" VA UW monitor, apparently it is very good once calibrated, just waiting for some proper reviews on the motion clarity etc. first as well as a price drop.

      Did Labour lose big? They had losses there is no doubt. However let's look at the reality. The conservatives have 168 councils I believe. Labour have 113 and Reform...38. That's a lot of growth for Reform granted. But that is not a wipeout, Reform don't have the majoring in fact at 76 I believe the Liberal Democrats have nearly twice the councils Reform do. So I am thinking there is a lot more noise than signal going on here. Now then let's talk about the law. It's an age restriction. We do it for cigarettes, **** and alcohol. This idea that some kids will find there way around it so it's not worth even trying is really really sad. Hell we can't stop every murder. Should we stop trying there too? That is the logical conclusion.

      A game not selling doesn't mean the people working on it did "bad work". It reviewed decently well. It was also on gamepass on release.
