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.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By Defiantly · Posted

      Maybe I missed it, but does this say anywhere that the game save bug has been squashed? I haven't encountered it myself, but it would be nice to know I'm good to go. Anyway, amazingly well done game. Mostly more of the same. ...but when the same is best in class with improved graphics and features, then a win.

      Well when your game flops, you should expect this. If I do bad at work, I would expect a layoff. Less than 1600 people played it on steam. https://steamdb.info/app/1934570/charts/
