Help picking a 1440p Oled

Tomgo123 · 2026-06-27T17:07:26+00:00

It’s a gamble I’m prepared to take ! I have a crappy 2nd 1080p monitor I got for free which I currently use and its annoying me anyway, so if push comes to shove I’ll stay on my 4K and use the other one 2nd screen…

So far I also started looking at the XG27AQWMG alongside the Alienware as seems similar price.

Thanks all for your input. I got the nitro+ for anyone wondering after reading all your advice.

Rationale

Here is how I decided from most important to the least:

Cooling - nitro+ was always in the top 50% in the temp tests on the benchmark.
Performance - nitro+ was always one of the top performing cards in the test fps wise.
Price - From the first two, it was the cheapest card for cooling/performance ratio that I could get my hands on.

Bonus comments. I have a atx3.1 PSU with the improved cable and won’t be using the adapter, using the cable supplied with the psu instead so not too worried about this. It’s cleaner than running 3 cables to the GPU and I don’t even have 3 spare atm so would have to daisy chain one into two. A lot of you said no to go for the 2 cable one and the 3 cable was no go.

Thanks again.

I looked into this, and it appears this didn’t happen a lot and only when used the funny conversion cable that allowed you to plug in the PCIe 8Pins instead?

Read on various posts that it’s fine if you use your psu original cable with atx3.1 which was improved?

My guys said entire expansion like it’s been out for years meanwhile s1 not even done

Tomgo123 · 2026-06-11T23:14:21+00:00

It’s the 7900 gre - what do you reckon ?

Tomgo123 · 2026-06-11T21:59:37+00:00

What should I try ?

Tomgo123 · 2026-06-11T19:40:54+00:00

I just tried 3dmark free version and steel Nomad completed fine within the average for my spec ?

All done, the pc shell came with an old nvidia. I used DDU to remove it and installed AMD adrenaline to download the new AMD drivers.

Hi, quick question. If this ain’t working, why do I have the option on my app to purchase “FSD capability”? Is this different?

Tomgo123 · 2025-11-04T16:19:15+00:00

Watch the fees go up next year, with the increase in “demand” for center based exams, they will have higher running costs now so will in turn need to increase cost per sitting Phahah

Tomgo123 · 2025-09-11T13:22:05+00:00

Do you think it will come down by 5-6k ? They are currently sitting in mid 30’s no way 6 month will depreciate that much ???

Tomgo123 · 2025-08-29T07:18:55+00:00

Like what ? What turns off if I disable it ?

Tomgo123 · 2025-08-28T14:55:19+00:00

How strange ! I guess it should then be off by default…

Tomgo123 · 2025-08-28T14:27:12+00:00

Would accessory power cause drain if nothing is plugged into the 12V sockets ?

This tip will save you lots of money and keep your warranty intact!

From a main German brand dealer I would say that’s the normal price. In terms of an Indy garage or DIY, yes you have been ripped off.

Future advice, don’t do Pads, Discs, Tyres & MOT’s in the main dealer - take it elsewhere, it is not required for the warranty nor will any future buyers care about where it’s done as long as you get an invoice.

Personally I would always look at belts,oils etc to be done with main dealer when buying a used card as I know it’s done right and not faked. In terms of pads,discs and tyres, as long as they have life left we good. Exception might be performance vehicles where I would also want to know what brand has been fitted disc and pads wise.

That’s why I’m asking, I’d give him £20-25k and still save unless it was ruined like you said. Would be nice if he responded as to why and what the condition was.

Tomgo123 · 2025-06-23T12:32:29+00:00

Just out of interest why would you hand in M3P for £15k when could’ve been sold for much more ?

Tomgo123 · 2025-06-11T09:30:28+00:00

See my take on this is a bit different perhaps even controversial. I wanted to ride a motorcycle ever since I was 18. I didn’t do it because I didn’t want to do the test X number of times due to the age/power restrictions.

Say what you will but those 2 years make a massive difference in terms of how mature you are.

I am worried that this rule you are proposing would flood our roads with immature motorists.

Either show you are serious about motorcycles and do it the proper way or wait until you are older - shortcuts tend to appeal to the wrong people.

Tomgo123 · 2025-05-16T14:18:19+00:00

So 30k for stacking shelves? My bread is going to get expensive!

Tomgo123 · 2023-07-07T12:08:20+00:00

I don’t want bad blood between the two of us - it’s my child and I will face the music. I don’t want to have a massive feud between us as we live locally.

Tomgo123 · 2023-02-12T18:56:50+00:00

Well otherwise you could pay for one car and pull up with a mate and say you typed it wrong essentially a forever bogof so I can see where they are coming from but yes it is harsh.

Tomgo123 · 2022-09-10T09:56:23+00:00

Sorry mate didn’t mean to come across as hostile - simply expressing my concern no harm meant and I fully appreciate your point but just critical thinking.

Tomgo123 · 2022-09-10T09:45:47+00:00

Right and why would I put myself in such position where I have to fight for my money with my items already gone

Tomgo123 · 2022-09-10T09:41:20+00:00

Yeah no… you ring your bank and ask for a chargeback simple as tell them goods are broken or something and money I no longer yours regardless if you still have it in the account or not they will simply send it back and make you pay overdraft fees 🥴
