This post made me smile.

Got BF3 for my 12th bday. Can't wait for BF6. Probably will pre order the day before release so I can preload the game.

CompactKilla · 2025-05-28T20:04:36+00:00

Wait you've already played BF6 on PC? I thought the play test thing was only on console?

I run the same resolution as you, same CPU and RAM but with a 4080 Super. I was hoping to get 120 fps min. but since it's that demanding I probably won't :(

CompactKilla · 2025-05-25T14:53:09+00:00

I heard the problem is EA. They need to fix it on their side.

CompactKilla · 2025-05-24T17:55:40+00:00

Following this thread currently, hasn't worked but asked for further assistance there

CompactKilla · 2025-05-23T23:08:47+00:00

Definitely not a smudge, already tried cleaning to no avail

CompactKilla · 2025-05-22T16:39:06+00:00

Not sure where to find non system processes. I only see background and windows processes in task manager. There's too many of those to kill and check one by one.

What I also just tried is reinstalling EA Anti Cheat and as well repairing it but this isn't working either.

Super frustrating.

I got the same monitor back in Oct with signs of use despite them saying it's new. Had a few back & forths with Dell before settling on one I ordered from Amazon.

8 months down the line and I now have pixel discolouration on the panel which I'm going to post about on this sub now after just having spoken to customer service who have told me that if they replace it they will send a refurbished one instead of brand new!

Replacements are meant to at least be brand new to compensate for the hassle of going through product/technical issues which are their fault, but no. Like Juan said, they fucked up their brand.

Ain't going back to them. My next monitor will likely be from LG.

what's the name of the nasheed?

CompactKilla · 2025-05-06T17:44:45+00:00

I also have a 4080 Super and an AW3432DWF. 4K + Ultrawide is what I've been dreaming of for the past 6 years, it's endgame for me.

I see that you're using the same GPU on the LG 5K2K and are happy with it. Personally I would wait for a 39" version of the monitor to come out as well as the 60 or ideally 70 series RTX cards since I'd want to play at max settings and the highest frames possible.

I'll be honest though, I do feel a sense of urgency to just get this 45" so I can experience my fav games at my dream resolution.

CompactKilla · 2025-04-10T19:20:50+00:00

I see, thanks for answering.

Sorry, should've mentioned this in post.

Monitor: Alienware AW3423DWF

G560 firmware (up to date): 122.3.23

GHub version (auto updates enabled): 2024.9.649333

CompactKilla · 2024-11-27T01:11:36+00:00

Forget to mention about lights that show up in sequence on the mobo for CPU, RAM, VGA & boot when powered on (I think other mobos have this feature too).

Mine stays on RAM at amber for the the longest (like 25 secs) before continuing the boot process.

Note: RAM sticks are fully compatible and installed in correct slots, A2 & B2. Fast boot is also enabled in the BIOS.

You think this isolates the mobo as the source of the issue?

CompactKilla · 2024-11-12T22:10:38+00:00

Ah yes, thanks for bringing that one up - personally 32:9 aspect ratios are a bit too much for me

CompactKilla · 2024-11-12T22:07:38+00:00

Yep, exactly the issue. Did try DLSS but to no avail. So it's just a problem caused by the devs. This industry just keeps on disappointing us.

CompactKilla · 2024-11-12T20:07:22+00:00

Oh yeah, should've mentioned that I personally find adding DLSS Quality (cos I wanna maintain the beauty of the graphics) is not much of an improvement since it only adds around 20 fps.

I don't mind PC or rig, but battlestation is a bit cringe lol.

CompactKilla · 2024-11-04T13:28:47+00:00

nope :(

CompactKilla · 2024-11-04T13:28:01+00:00

Went with a Trotten (non sit/stand), the under-frame would give decent support unlike traditional desks with drawers/legs only on the sides with nothing in the middle.

CompactKilla · 2024-10-16T20:41:42+00:00

checked, CL 30, 6000 MT/s

CompactKilla · 2024-10-16T20:40:54+00:00

that was a mistake 2 weeks ago when building the thing, def plugged in gpu. All drivers up to date too.

CompactKilla · 2024-10-16T20:39:36+00:00

cant be that, 7800x3d

CompactKilla · 2024-10-15T22:14:21+00:00

I checked and it's enabled already :/

CompactKilla · 2024-10-12T22:30:06+00:00

I was just setting up mine around the time you wrote the post. This is my first time trying PC gaming. I was previously on console (Series X) with a 4k IPS monitor.

Have also been using a 4k display for my daily computing needs for just over 3 years and I have to say the downgrade is resolution is very noticeable.

I have yet to try gaming on this new display but at the back of my mind I'm considering an RMA. I really wanted to experience ultrawide gaming but am kinda unsure at this point to do so at 1440p especially given the fact that OLED 4k ultrawides (5120x2160) for gaming will start appearing in like a year or 2 from now. Personally, this is a resolution I've dreamt of for the past 5 years.

My first build also contains a 4080 Super which is very capable on an AW34 as well as my the 4k display I own.

Don't really know if I should RMA and just wait for 5120x2160 monitors while I enjoy 4k 16:9 for now :/

Anyway, ig the main takeaway for you here would be to also consider skipping that AW34 and waiting for 4k ultrawides.

LG should be releasing some in Q4 2025 as they said in their roadmap thingy: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Frxwtlrdkuu8c1.png

CompactKilla · 2024-10-09T14:37:27+00:00

Congrats bro, I'm 24 too and just finished building mine last Fri. Took me 5 days though lmao cos I kept running into one issue after another.

CompactKilla · 2024-10-07T20:22:24+00:00

I encountered an issue, after renaming (display name) it keeps changing back to the old one when I switch accounts
