Just came across the Samsung CJ89 43" super ultra wide monitor. Is 43" going to be the new standard to replace 34? 120hz. 32:10 aspect ratio looks nice. Basically two 1920x1200 monitors working together with no bezel.
It's marketed primarily at business but should be fun for gaming too. Link if you're interested. (Samsung AU)

Yea. I saw that somewhere. Too bad it is VA panel. That rules out video, and photo editing. But i could stretch my Reaper window, and all the VSTs, folders, loops... Joy of joys . They will be expensive, and i don't think they will become mainstream. Although it is nice to have the option.

$1499 Australian here so about the same price as an Acer X34P which isn't too bad considering.

OK that explains it. Tom and others got lower temps because it was being limited (4 phase). Other reviewers used more macho boards, temps were insane.

I do agree tbh. In theory it is bigger and meaner than the 8700k, by science (more cores etc) so therefore it should run hotter and use more power.

Looks like Navi may actually be a Polaris replacement and not a Vega replacement.

Haven't seen the 'Games for Windows' logo/phrase thing in a while.

So a Vega 56 with a power mod sees it beating an RTX 2070 in a fair few games and nipping at it's heels in others -

Only takes 600 Watts to do it

At least it shows us what Vega can do if you tweak it ^_^

Will need to look further into this, as it is technically already on PC for UWP/Xbox Play Anywhere titles.

Coolermaster designed a 90degree 24pin connector for those who dont have the Maximus extreme IX.

Each to their own, I find it more of a hindrance than anything else but some builds out there will utilise it for sure

edit*
Actually it might resolve my hindrance on the Extreme IX by reverting it to default placement if I use it on a connector already at 90degrees

 

[AlienALX]

I've been looking at those. I think I will get one when they come out.

Its quite possible that you will get more annoyed by them. It all depends if your 24v connector lines up with the motherboard tray cut outs where you feed the cable through.

On the C700P it was horrible. I had to route the cables much further away to allow for the cable stiffness not to twist the motherboard itself.

Vega 7nm spotted on FF benchmark but it's probably the instinct card -
