    Yooooo, 165Hz is so freaking smooth what the hell. This is awesome. Monitor seems like a real nice option for the £350.

      [MENTION=1482]dataDave[/MENTION] I have a 120hz panel with dvi input and a GPU with DisplayPort so cant try it out cheaply as I’d need one of those hundred quid startech active converters.

      I’m playing dragons dogma, Arma, but mostly I’m playing Elite. In future I’ll play Skyrim again and probably oblivion and even morrowind. Might venture into Hell Let Loose and flight sims as well.

      Oh, Grim Dawn I’m playing too.

        It only has DVI? That's curious, does DVI-D even have the bandwidth for 120Hz? No HDMI?

          This was me for the first 18 months of being on 165Hz myself. Playing current-gen stuff on ultra settings at those kind of frame-rates is absolutely mind-bending.

          There's simply no going back to 60Hz, unless I'm using a controller like I said.

            There's enough bandwidth for 120hz at 1920x1200. 1440p is 60hz only.

              It's old. Before Display Port was a thing and HDMI specs hadn't moved to supporting anythign over 60Hz sp yeah, DVI Dual Link needed for 120Hz

                Not the fanciest of new hardware, but I've got myself a new printer.

                        Your company's market is slumping? You cannot compete in the either the low end or high end of computing equipment? Then, why not come up with some snake oil ethernet switch dedicated to audiophiles with a special technology that enhances streamed audio?
                        Well, the Ethernet Switch UEF is the product for you! Just $2500 for this baby, and there are some cheap bundles of ethernet cables for $300 too!



                        No, serioyusly, please someone explain how this switch enhaces a stream of 1 and 0 over a standard ethernet connection.

                            Someone put both Galileo level base and tranquility core on an SSD.

                              overall it is more resistant to hearing


                              Hmmmmm. Do I want something in my audio chain that makes music more resistant to hearing?

                                Audiophile or audiofool? And why the fook is vinyl still this amazing gold standard? It was a great invention but should have been left behind decades ago.
