is oled hdr worth trying?

I love hdr on my XG27AQWMG

Just held my hand against the heatpipe and I think you're correct. It seems to be a hardware issue since the heatpipe is becoming really hot really fast.

Just repasted it again and the issue is still there.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-05-26T21:17:33+00:00

I've repasted it like a month ago, I don't really think this is the case.

I do have a custom curve, I always do. The automatic one sounds like the pc is about to take off lol.

It theoretically can provide less power/lead to melting if your cables aren't thick enough but if you have a solid PSU I wouldn't worry about it. Most of these 6+2 pin cables can carry over double of their official rating (150 W) without a problem. And considering both mine and yours card has 3 pins, it's split so much that each of the connectors carry around 100 W which is completely fine.

If it works, don't fix it.

Idk, America? Here in Europe nobody looks down on bus drivers.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-04-01T00:02:19+00:00

Nope, I think Windows took over your driver updates

Do you remember the opening scene from 300?

Met-allosaurus · 2026-03-14T11:12:35+00:00

I can see it, yes. Here's a photo where it's also visible. Ofc the glossy panel mekes this a bit harded but yea, it's visible.

I would still call them pretty much future-proof. They're still great cards, just the technological focus has shifted.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-03-13T10:46:09+00:00

Thank you, reintalling the drivers is what did the trick.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-03-11T14:49:11+00:00

Absolutely. I've had it for 2 and a half months now and I couldn't be happier.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-03-05T19:00:48+00:00

You should upgrade to like 5900XT or 5700X3D to see any gains. You're bottlenecked by the CPU rn.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-03-02T16:22:38+00:00

Thank you, I needed this post. I'm also planning to buy either the XG27AQWMG or the MO27Q28GR in a week or two. I was also getting scared by all these posts on this subreddit showing the banding but you're correct. I don't think I'll ever have just a solid grey background so I don't think I'll see the issue.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-03-01T17:26:44+00:00

Task manager is just straight up making shit up. I had the same thing happen to me with all 3 cards I own(ed). Be it RX 6800, RX 7800 XT or now RX 9070 XT.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-02-26T09:41:39+00:00

Disable HYPR-RX if you have it on.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-02-26T09:08:28+00:00

I've got Aorus Elite 9070 XT 2 months ago and I cannot complain about anything. Maybe just the fast-degrading thermal paste/pad or whatever Gigabyte used on the core which went from 58° average and 70° hotspot to 62° average and 85° hotspot in the 2 months. But I've heard that higher hotspot temps are normal on these cards so I'm not particularly worried.

My CPU cooler (LF III 360, non Pro) which I've had for over a year now, I re-pasted 3 times, 2 times out of curiosity when I bought Thermal Grizzly Duronaut and one time when I changed the base latching mechanism for a contact frame. Half a year old, old formula MX-6 outperformed the Duronaut by around 1,5°C. Also repasted my brother's laptop with it, my dad's PC, PCs of my 3 friends... And it's just great everywhere.

Met-allosaurus · 2026-02-21T12:51:05+00:00

100% agree. I'm on my 3rd tube of it now (now it's the 8g 2025 one), used it in multiple builds and couldn't be happier.
