0 regrets. It's probably the best viewing experience I've had on a TV.

This may be a somewhat dumb question, but with a monitor that only supports 10 bits on 120 hz (it's the AW3821DW), do I have to specify this refresh rate and colour setting via the Nvidia control setting for auto-HDR on Windows 11 to work to its full potential? Or does it handle this by itself?

I actually have a question if you don't mind - the 990 isn't an SSD I see come up much - is it because the smallest size offered is 1TB as opposed to 500GB? I saw some complaints about reliability issues but the same came up for the 980 (from what I read, firmware updates were released to...

Around 2 years ago but my brother is buying that one off me to replace an older build.

Hi I'm considering getting a new PC and would like some advice on the below build. Intended use is primarily gaming, and I tend to play a variety of games, including 4x, RPGs as well as some MMO gaming. Also intend to use it for WFH purposes but I don't do anything that requires a particularly...

The card which came installed was a Gigabyte gaming OC 8G rev 1.0.

Any budget/specific requirements?

Hoping by the time we get to November it's a bit better at least.

Mine's arriving on Monday, and was completed after 21 WD.

Ugh and of course now the 3080 has come down quite a bit when I try amend the build, as it goes into production. 🤣 I'd be tempted if not for the long wait.

Interesting that they're losing the signature curve.

Much like bonny Scotland. But I can't complain, I prefer the cooler temperatures most days. Several years in Cyprus and South Africa helped me appreciate it more. :p

Day 19 and its gone into build. I'll update on what brand it is when I know.

Out of curiosity, is the monitor capable of running 3440x1440 @240hz? From what I read it can support a bunch of different resolutions but that one has to be input custom and therefore runs it at 120hz without HDR. But it's from threads from a while ago; has it changed?
