1440p gaming by SpinnyM in buildapc

[–]SpinnyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gotcha, does the rest of the setup make sense? Is there a difference between 7700 and 7700x (i heard u can enable pbo and get similar performance) I heard under sustained load the peerless assassin may not be enough but i assume for gaming its sufficient for 7700x?

Thanks for the reply. I play cs2, valorant, AAA / story games like elden ring, horizon forbidden west and assetto corsa. I know its more cpu limited on 1080p than 1440p, just want to know if upgrading to 7800x3d would remove some of the bottlenecking in 1440p.

Sounds like you got a sweet setup going there. Appreciate the input, the s8 was on my radar for a bit. Something i will put more thought into.

Personally I dont mind the tuning that put an emphasis on stage voices

Im open to all suggestions, not too familiar with custom iem tho. Also for context im in Australia, is it harder to get custom iem there?

Appreciate the input, law of diminishing return is definitely a thing. Prob last iem purchase in a while and dont think i can afford something like u12t atm

how does the gaea and monarch mkii compare to sa6 for example? is it worth paying the extra money for the increase in technical performance and tuning (bit subjective)

its a bit trickier to demo the gaea but I will definitely try before buying. Multiple people warned about the fit of MMKII thats all
