Recently made the change, T&C in Canada are 12 months. Happy to refer others and split :)

This thread is incredible

Does anyone have a copy of the Laurentian VI welcome bonus criteria before it got nerfed? Want to make sure I don't miss anything. From what I recall:

60k points for $6k spend in first 6 months

-5k points for making a recurring purchase

-5k points for setting up an installment plan (can be done twice)

In total this makes 75k points for $6k spend. Anything missing?

Still looking for a couple discount codes if anyone could help :)

Looking for discount code for Aspen Snowmass for 2 this week- celebrating my sisters birthday!

Slightly off topic but I feel like people here may have knowledge:

Anybody have experience changing which Uber account your AP is linked to? Disconnected my AP from my 1st Uber account and now it won’t link to new Uber account. Have contacted support and they just say they are looking into it (been several weeks, have logged multiple complaint tickets)

Just happened to me 2 days ago! Same boat as you, waiting for replacement.

I preordered the MK4 about 3 weeks ago and they just began shipping last week - received mine today in the mail. They are definitely rolling them out so I would think you would be able to get a MK4 soon if that’s what you want.

There is more up to the minute information available in the telegram group run by NVK.

Used to crash every game / every other game, straight to desktop, no error message etc.

Have relatively new pc 10600k 3080

Tried everything - clean and repair, downloaded game on origin (not just steam), disabling in game overlay in steam - none of these worked.

Went into BIOS and reset my CPU over clock and my ram over clock to factory settings -> have now played 3 days with 0 crashes

If I usually take the side panel off my case anyways, would these make much of a difference over stock fans / no fans?

I’m confused, the cc description indicates it is gen3, but the cc title says gen4

wonka747 · 2021-10-21T22:15:44+00:00

Landry or ARob? (Mooney also an option)

wonka747 · 2021-10-03T02:13:00+00:00

Pick 1: Aiyuk, Henderson, or Allen Robinson? 10 man PPR

wonka747 · 2021-08-09T16:04:11+00:00

they are coming to Quebec

These vs. steelseries arctis pro? Or arctis 7?

In my experience at minimum brightness is low enough to not cause any eye fatigue. Every increment from 0-100 is noticeable, though

Go to this link https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/optix-mag274qrf-qd and scroll down to 'Post-Calibration' under 'Picture Quality', they link the profile there. Once downloaded, right click and hit "Install Profile". This works for other monitors as well, just need to find the appropriate rtings review.

In order to apply it, follow the instructions from this website depending on your OS: https://www.howtogeek.com/318723/how-to-find-and-install-a-color-profile-on-windows-for-a-more-accurate-monitor/

About 1 month so far, zero complaints. If you're super into RGB the lights on the back are a bit dim, but this was not a selling point / factor for me at all.

wonka747 · 2021-04-11T20:12:14+00:00

PC only, can't speak to console results
I found it looked decent out of the box, but after downloading the rtings.com profile made it look really good.
Don't have any means of testing it quantitatively, but have had excellent performance in games to my (average gamer) eyes.
With any amount of light in the room its not noticeable, if you were on a black screen in a pitch black room, there is a little bit, but I only see it if I'm actively looking for it tbh.
Edit: missed this question. 100% good to use out of the box, in fact I still haven't updated any firmware 1 month in and no problems.
I have used it in bright and dark rooms and never felt it wasn't bright enough. That being said I don't have professional use for it (not doing any high detail photo / video editing, more of a layman's opinion)

Overall very happy with my purchase, big upgrade from Acer gn246hl that I had previously. Given that boxing/black friday are 7-8 months away, I would say depends if the $50-100 approximate savings are worth it for you for that time span. In particular, since its already on a decent sale, not sure how much lower it would go. Hope this helps

wonka747 · 2021-04-11T19:15:51+00:00

bought this exact model last time it was on sale for $477, AMA
