Hot dogs, Horseshoes and Hand GrenadesHot dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
As much as I want to play Gorn and Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades with good tracking and IQ, £800 is just fucking stupid. Like, who even thought that was a good idea given the current competition in the VR marketplace? It's twice the price of a damn Oculus Rift, 2.6x the price of a WMR Dell Visor.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthat vive pro pricing is pretty absurd for just the headset, jesusHard skip on that one, it's stupid. It matches the Samsung Odyssey for resolution for what, £350 more? Ridiculous.

32" is perfect for 4k
By diehard Go To Post27'' just isn't enough
I'm pretty happy with 27 inch, but I'd like to go back to playing on a 32 inch. Dunno how people do 22 inch or smaller, or anything larger than 32 inch for that matter either. Neither end of that spectrum feels right to me.
I have a 34'' 21:9 which is the same height as a 27'' and i'm really looking forward to getting a 37.5''
By NinjaFridge Go To PostnVidia being cuntsThat's kinda dirty. From my understanding of those two articles, Nvidia started a program called GeForce Partner Program. GPP provides vendors with early samples, marketing dollars, and other, more minor things.

However, it has a requirement that any vendor that takes advantage of it has their gaming brand exclusively associated with GeForce. Supposedly, Intel tried to do a similar thing years and years ago and was fined over a billion dollars for it.
That they have to create separate name sub-brands for the respective GPU manufacturers is more petty than significant in my view.
Whether it is illegally anti-competitive is way harder to determine.

So, they can't do a sub-brand for a different GPU company unless they forgo marketing it as for gaming.

It's basically Nvidia getting vendors to say that gaming can only be done on GeForce.

No I think I'm right:
This week Gigabyte released one for the Radeon RX 580. It is simply called "RX 580 Gaming Box." No AORUS branding is present on the box or the product itself. It's the only perceivable difference. Is this the beginning of that exclusive alignment?
What would it mean to have your "Gaming Brand Aligned Exclusively With GeForce?" The example that will likely resonate best with HardOCP readers is the ASUS Republic of Gamers brand. I have no knowledge if ASUS is a GPP partner, I am simply using the ROG brand hypothetically. If ASUS is an NVIDIA GPP partner, and it wants to continue to use NVIDIA GPUs in its ROG branded video cards, computers, and laptops, it can no longer sell any other company's GPUs in ROG products. So if ASUS want to keep building NVIDIA-based ROG video cards, it can no longer sell AMD-based ROG video cards, and be a GPP partner.
I’m happy with my Ryzen CPU at least. Though I’m already looking to upgrade to the 2700x for the higher reported clocks.
By Laboured Go To PostI mean, they try I guess?
damn
By Laboured Go To Post
I thought these were delayed again until Q3? Or was the news from a couple of weeks ago bogus?
I can't really get excited about 16:9 monitors though. Even the PG35VQ doesn't feel like a huge step up from my Predator, crazy as it seems. Guess I'm waiting for a 38" HDR ultrawide with whatever the 21:9 equivalent of 4K is. Gonna be a long wait, I feel.

By Laboured Go To PostNow we just need GPU's that'll do 4K at 144fps....

I kinda really want this case. It’s art.
By rerixo Go To Posti can sell you my microwave if you want, it's pretty much the sameIs it an RGB Microwave?
Hahaha the thought of not having an RGB microwave slays me. Imagine being that behind the curve? Disgusting.

So looks like the 4k 144hz panels really are going to start hitting in April

Update March 22, 2018: Nvidia have again confirmed that their 27-inch G-Sync HDR panels will start to arrive on the shelves in Q1 of this year - and that means we'll have the first batch of 16:9 panels by the end of next month.

By diehard Go To PostI guess i still dont really see the appeal of that panel
60hz is horrible
Even if the GPUs out now aren't able to take advantage of full 144hz, day to day usage on a 4k monitor will still feel much better with the higher response panel. Same with games and gsync. And HDR needs to start becoming widely adopted on PC, and these enthusiast monitors can help the push.
By Smokey Go To Post60hz is horrible4k on on 27'' is still too high of a DPI, you need to use scaling which still isn't very good in Windows. In order to get anything over 60hz in an actual game you will be running it at something lower than 4k anyway, and there is no point in paying more for something now that you can't really take advantage of until years down the road.

I might choose one of those over a 1440p panel, but i definitely wouldn't pay the extra cost for one.

I agree, but monitor tech needs to move. It's been stagnant for way too long. These are the first pushes. As usual these things are always geared towards enthusiasts first. When there are GPUs out to properly take full advantage of the refresh rate, we'll hopefully have an improved panel, bugs squashed etc
I think if it actually is the HDR 1000 spec that is something to get excited about and really advancing monitor technology, the whole 4K thing is kinda meh.

i want a solid HDR monitor to finally be available for PC.
By Smokey Go To Post60hz is horribleI'm a 60hz pleb but I mostly play fighting games. I would need a better GPU to justify buying a high refresh monitor. : (

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1180 & 1170 Projected to Land in July & Feature 16Gbps GDDR6 Memory in 8GB & 16GB Capacities
GDDR6 will reportedly power most, if not all, of NVIDIA’s upcoming graphics cards. This includes the upcoming gaming focused GeForce 11 series as well as upcoming Tesla and Quadro parts for the AI and autonomous driving markets.
SK Hynix has also confirmed to GamersNexus that GDDR6 will be entering production in three month’s time around late June, early July. This puts the the GeForce 11 series launch right around July, which happens to coincide with a report published earlier this month that put the launch also in the July timeframe.
The new memory will run at 1.35v and deliver double the speed of GDDR5 but will cost around 20% more to produce. So, expect slightly higher MSRPs than NVIDIA’s Pascal GeForce 10 series launch prices. SK Hynix has also confirmed that it will offer GDDR6 chips in 1GB and 2GB densities. Typically, each 32-bit GDDR memory controller segment is paired with a single GDDR chip, this in turn means that we’ll be looking at 8GB and 16GB capacities on 256-bit GPUs, i.e. what would be the next GTX 1180 and GTX 1170 graphics cards.
In normal circumstances, I'd probably be looking to sell my 1080 and get the 1180, the upgrade costing me no more than 200-300€.
These days, who knows. Actually, I do know. That shit will be going for 200-300€ over MSRP, if you're lucky enough to find one.
1080 ain't so bad.
