Are the OLED monitors coming in 2027 with True Black 600 certification going to honestly have that much of a difference vs the current year's True Black 500 releases? I'm not sure how noticeable that jump would be based off of nits/peak brightness alone, nor if we'd see much else besides higher standard refresh rates. It'd still pale in comparison to TVs as far as peak brightness and HDR go too. The whole display market is a fucking pig pen.

https://displayhdr.org/performance-criteria/
Yes it will because Nits are perceived on a logarithmic scale because we are more sensitive to changes in low-light scenarios where small increases at the full-field white from 300 --> 350 nits are more noticeable than going from 1000 --> 1200 nits max. Add on to that that super-bright specular HDR highlights are fleeting while large areas of high-APL scenes are common in both video and PC desktop/window usage.

Interesting, thanks for the informative post. With this in mind, I wonder now where the point of "minimal returns" is in this development. It's weird how it goes from TB 400-600, then neatly leaps to TB 1000 and TB 1400. I think they moved from TB400-TB600 over roughly two years, right? 300-350 cd/m2 sounds nice, but the next step on the specs tier is 500, then 700 after that (double the 2027 next gen TB600...).

Hopefully availability and pricing aren't fucked next gen. They had a few cool releases and then just didn't stock most of them in my country, and didn't even release others here. Fucked up.

https://us.ktcplay.com/blogs/technology-hub/peak-brightness-vs-contrast
The point of diminishing returns depends heavily on your ambient lighting environment vs. opposing stimuli (remember our eyes evolve to dilate/constrict dynamically to allow more or less light in when needed) so ~350nits is going to be a plateau point for most indoor scenarios and with standard PC/SDR content usage. 400-700 nits is needed for portable devices like phones/laptops that have to operate outdoors, and if you truly wanted to challenge the output of the Sun and it's reflections/refractions without any shade you'd need thousands of nits:

>>109998698
You get stripe RGB subpixels in 16:9 display format + TB600.
If you use these in SDR near 100~150 nits, they will be more resilient against burn in compared to the OLEDs available today.

The discounted Alienware 1440p ultrawide is the only OLED monitor I’d consider paying over $600 this year if you never planned to get a 4K OLED monitor.

>>109999701

>>109998858
TB1000 gaming monitors won’t be available for a while.
OLED display manufacturer supply TB1K tuned panels to laptop manufacturers because they’re replaced sooner than monitors (looser burn in coverage).

350 nits full screen brightness requirement for the TB600 spec is also a major milestone.
Those new OLED monitors are very likely to have higher full screen brightness than most LCD monitors without miniLEDs.

If you get a TB600 OLED monitor next year, only turn on HDR when you’re actually watching HDR mastered content.
You’re potentially accelerating burn in otherwise.

>>109999701
I running a small language model with a spiking neural network, Smollm3 to be specific, I would just use an online a.i. for coding. It's for an experiment, and it would have SDR too. It would be a cool thing to tune into radio stations with.

The Eizo ColorEdge PROMINENCE CG1 offers a million to 1 contrast ratio. How does an IPS pull that off?

>>110000341
you dont need more than 8 p-cores to run serial code. In theory having a bunch more e-cores is more performant/area efficient than having 1/4th as many extra p-cores, but in practice it's a clusterfuck for various reasons. P+E is a great idea that hasn't and probably never will crystallize and Intel should go back to homogeneous architecture sooner than later.

>>110000122
>not just having kapton tape around

>>110000362
The Eizo CG279X 27" IPS panel has an A-TW polariser so you don't get the very distracting corner blooming you see on some panels (no local dimming). 3D LUT calibrated.

>>110000374
The 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio is achieved through advanced Dual-Layer IPS LCD hardware technology.
Unlike standard HDR monitors or consumer TVs that use zone-based local dimming (like Mini-LED), EIZO doesn't turn off sections of the backlight. Instead, the CG1 stacks two distinct liquid crystal layers over a continuous LED backlight: a Color Layer that creates the image, and a underlying Light Control Layer that acts as a pixel-level light filter.
By filtering light natively on a per-pixel basis, it blocks backlight bleed with extreme precision—dropping deep blacks to a minuscule 0.001 cd/m2 while maintaining a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m2. This dual-layer approach completely eliminates the annoying "halo" or "blooming" artifacts you get with local dimming, which is why it's reliable enough to be used as a Hollywood-grade mastering reference monitor.

EIZO has switched to OLED too btw OLED WON IT'S OVER

Did I get duped with OLED monitors?

I thought they were all best in class, even at the budget range. I bought a Lenovo one that has 400 nits peak brightness. Black levels are truly elite, but when it comes to any other content my cheap KTC Miniled blows it out of the water. The brightness alone would nea factor but it's comparable if not better with colour as well so I don't get it.
Is it only the expensive OLED's that are worth a damn? Should I just get an OLED that has higher peak brightness?
I kind of figured the chain just went VA<IPS<Miniled<OLED

It wasn't recognised in the primary NMVe slot, which should work as it is gen5 PCIe, but I could be retarded as well.

I'm upgrading from a 5600x to a 5800x3D with a Scythe Fuma 2 air cooler this weekend. Should I keep the default fan curve or is it better to make it custom with this new CPU? From what I've read it runs quite a bit hotter than a 5600x.
Values I'm seeing online:
- <50°C = 30%
- 70°C = 60%
- 80°C = 90%
- >85°C = 100%

I'm planning on doing the commonly accepted undervolt on it (-30).

Look up your PSUs pin outs.
Also if you look at a SATA power cable, you'll see the little short nub that would otherwise stop you from inserting the plug the wrong way. The 3.3V wire (orange in this picture) will always be the last wire on that edge with the nub, you can just trace that back to the modular connector

>no oled monitor is gonna be that bright
Right
So what display tech is best for monitors? I thought OLED was considered the best
My miniled ktc is impressive. The brightness won't compare to a TV I imagine but just on its own the sun in games can be so bright i have to adjust my eyes. That kind of HDR is a different level to what my OLED offers.

I like my IPS screen too. I'm trying to decide between the 3, or if there should be a new contender.

>>110003011
>>110003042
ya magnet is strong enough. nothing happens.
>>110002994
why buy something new if i already have it? makes no sense. It just works like that

Should I go for an AM4 or AM5 build? I have both planned out and they don't differ much in terms of performance but the latter is a bit more expensive than the former. Normally I would pick the cheaper option but I heard AM4 is on the way out and I want to not have to upgrade for as long as possible.

>>110003178
get am5, you'll thank me later

>>110003178
No reason to go for an AM4 if it's a new build and in some cases you get similar performance but more expensive (like the recently re-released 5800X3D). There's also the RAM issue, if you decide to upgrade in 5 years to AM5 you'll need to purchase sticks again since AM5 is only compatible with DDR5.

>>110001950
>I bought a Lenovo one that has 400 nits peak brightness.
yeah in a 10% window lolololol

When it comes to color, color gamut (how many colors the monitor can show) and color volume (how bright the colors the monitor can show can get) matters a lot. OLED monitors will never compete with a MiniLED at brightness, so the actual colors may not look at luminous or accurate despite having a lot better blacks. This is why Apple's Studio Monitors are all MiniLED. OLED is superior for gaming because miniLED are slow as shit.

Components prices never go down that much in EU during black Fridays. I've been following them for half a decade now.
It doesn't go lower than your usual local sales. My advice is just buy whenever you can when it's on sale. Sometimes you'll miss a slightly better offer but the wait and overthinking isn't worth it.

>>110005320
you can look into ram overclocking if you're really worried, though you'll have to be patient and make sure it's actually stable before dailying it otherwise you risk data corruption

>>110005424
In my europoor country the shops usually raise prices significantly a month or several weeks before the black friday.

>A new leak by @laurentschoice lists seven desktop Nova Lake-S processors under what looks like Intel's new four-digit Core Ultra 4000 naming, led by a Core Ultra 9 4970K BFC. It apparently has 8 P-cores, 16 E-cores, and 4 LPE cores for 28 in total, plus bLLC (big last-level cache), a 125 W rating, and a 32 EU iGPU. That puts it above the Core Ultra 9 4950K, which first surfaced in a CPU-Z leak in August as a 28-core chip. This list shows the 4950K with 24 cores (8 P-cores and 16 E-cores), without LPE cores or bLLC.

>>110007440
Yeah that's fine of course, just don't do that every month, I've seen people getting banned from Amazon for abusing the return policy to extreme levels

>>110007505
Their policy is they won't do price adjustments at all anymore. From what I read it's because their native americans kept giving everyone refunds, and most people don't bother with the hassle of returning but always ask for price adjustments

i appreciate the link but these "deals" are hilariously bad

A lot of flailing around after realizing the 4070 plain was exceedingly underpowered and far too far away from the 4080 plain in performance I guess. The difference between the 4070 and 4070 ti/super/ti super are enough to paint the 4070 plain as actually being a 4060 with a higher number painted on.

fat chance, its all leftover stocks

>better rt
snake oil
>has access to fg
even bigger snake oil
>doesn't consume 350w during gaming
>will get longer support
true on both counts, its single 8-pin power req is the sole reason that caught my attention, that & the $525.94 price tag

>>110007651
if you dont care about nvidia's feature set get the 6950xt then as it blows away both cards in raster and has more vram

only the 4070 does av1 encoding

>Game developers have largely stopped optimizing for pure native rasterization. Instead, they treat technologies like DLSS or FSR as a baseline requirement during development rather than an optional bonus. Instead of writing highly efficient code to make a game look beautiful on raw hardware, studios now throw unoptimized, dense assets (like massive ray-traced global illumination calculations) at the engine and rely on software upscaling to clean up the frame rate. It feels like "snake oil" because it allows developers to ship poorly optimized games

>Developers don't want their games to run on consoles
unlikely

>>110007990
What happens when AMD's next gen of GPUs has dedicated hardware for upscaling and raytracing?

>>109998793
AMD still sucks bad at diffusion models, even an older rtx 3060 would be faster.

>>110005723
Yeah
9 days ago EU support claimed October it will replace the m27p6
US support claims march next year which is fucked if true

>>110007923
Wtf happened to the philosophy of having your assets as low res and low poly and compressed as much you can get away with it?

Fuck I just want 32 gigs of sodimm... Why is it so expensive now

How bad would 5600CL36 fuck over Nova Lake?

>How bad would 5600CL36 fuck over Nova Lake?
Honestly probably not much since Intel's Ring Bus has historically not been as memory sensitive as AMD's Infinity Cache plus several models will have bLLC which will further insulate them from slower ram speeds with a larger on-chip cache reservoir.

That works out to ~12.8ns over the effetcive 10ns of 6000CL30 RAM.

Ideally you want 8000+ for nova lake, arrow lake can already do 9000

a bnew RTX 5060TI 16GB for $556.94? in this economy?

Probably not a lot if you get the expanded cache BFC variants
