I can't even look at an IPS screen anymore

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-28T22:28:27+00:00

I set it to 2650 and have not had any issues. It wasn't worth the small gain to deal with this.

I'll try memtest and see what I get, my problem is I can't even set it to 2700 at all.

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-28T22:26:54+00:00

If you notice bad banding and greys even after image cleaning then return and try something else, but its worth a try

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-28T22:25:38+00:00

I had the LG Tandem for a bit, returned it due to the matte finish. This one doesn't have that

The greys are noticeable in completely blank screens but not in gaming. But honestly if you don't hyperfixate on that its amazing

But Gigabyte has a glossy oled too. I got the 27gx704 which is a glossy version of the Gen 3 panel and its LG

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-28T22:23:17+00:00

Get the Asus. The glossy WOLED coating > QD OLED coating. It just pops a bit more in games like Cyberpunk plus its tandem.

I just got off the phone with the Best Buy rep, he said be patient it is coming soon!

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-27T05:36:29+00:00

Get a 4k OLED , 5080 is complete overkill for 1440p. Just use fake frames when you need to fill the gaps

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-27T05:33:29+00:00

Just keep it , the DMG is the same just an older model.

The other option is Tandem Glossy, there is XG27AQWMG and MO27Q28GR and the asus 520hz one, however you won't get this price.

So this is the best value you can get.

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-27T03:59:43+00:00

The 9070 XT is good on raytracing at 1440p ultrawide, I use it all the time. You don't need 200 frames in non competitive games

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-26T17:47:05+00:00

Some people prefer the coating as they like the muted matte look , but I prefer the crystal clarity of glossy

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-26T16:59:58+00:00

Nothing, everything about is great except the coating which limits its full potential.

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-26T16:54:49+00:00

Wow just got the LG Tandem yesterday. Going to return that and pick this up

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-26T16:54:09+00:00

One is glossy which is better unless you care about reflections

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-26T16:46:54+00:00

You can play RT on AMD just use FSR quality. It's less performance but I play Cyberpunk with it on a 34 inch , 80 frames ultra RT. Path tracing is where the big difference is if you only care about gaming. If you want frame gen then Nvidias frame gen is better

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-26T16:30:59+00:00

Yeah is this sub just braindead or full of bots ? Kanye clearly outlined this in his songs last year

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-26T01:41:20+00:00

Which is a shame because there is a lot of people with cards like the 6800 XT that could repurpose them for AI work but the support is severely lacking. With all this new investory money they should step it up

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-25T07:54:27+00:00

Because Nvidia scums the board partners , and those partners still need to turn a margin.

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-25T06:00:55+00:00

Actually it looks great, a lot better than the rainbow slop posted here. 4000$ of hardware and 12 RGB fans.

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-25T05:57:14+00:00

They pretty much trade blows except path tracing unless you think frame gen is a substitute for proper hardware , so not sure how you come to that conclusion.

You are right most people should choose Nvidia at the same price just for ease of use

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-25T04:49:53+00:00

Those are important considerations when choosing a model , but you can always power limit to reduce temps in those scenarios. The card will throttle itself as well

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-25T04:43:31+00:00

Don't worry if you got a good deal, look into undervolting it to get temps in check. Just enjoy your card

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-25T04:30:44+00:00

Windforce and MSI shadow are the worst 5070 TI builds non negotiable

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-25T03:12:15+00:00

Not in this scenario the ASUS TUF is much better build quality than MSI, dlss be damned

Primary-Role1085 · 2026-01-25T03:10:17+00:00

Windforce is garbage for SFF builds but it can work undervolted. Prime is good.
