I'm just wondering what everyone plans to use to drive this monitor? I currently have a RX 280 and was hoping to have Vega around the same time as this monitor. As we know, Vega wont drop until the end of July and the 500 series cards have been eaten up by miners. I am excited to get this monitor, but sad that I won't be able to see it's potential for several more months.
liscombcCurrently running a Fury X with an LG 34" UW 1440p and can get solid 60FPS with decent settings as long as the driver/game has been optimized for PC release (Looking at you ME: Andromeda and you're pathetic 30 FPS). This is replacing my secondary monitor which is just a basic 1080 I've had for years and this will likely become my primary with the UW at the secondary screen.
Should last me until we get a Vega release and hoping for at least 1080 performance from it. Hopefully better to keep NV on their toes.
Lynex83I know it's a strange concept, but surprisingly we don't all play the same games. Isn't it weird? It's like there are tens of thousands of them to choose from.
But I'm glad you know exactly which games I'll be playing and ensuring that I won't be getting
144hz.
Thanks for your tier 6 advice.

impootinlikevladimirNow that's a waste of money. 750$ for a video card when both the competitors card is coming out in just over two months and Volta will be out by the end of the year.
Lynex83Lynex, do you have any idea what you're talking about mate? 1080s are $500 right now.
What planet are you on? We need you to return to earth, please. You're misinformed and aren't even reading people's comments correctly.
Lynex83You have this inherent issue with reading. I said 980TI, he said 1080.
Talking to this guy is worse than reading YouTube comments, here comes the straw man "LoL, CS:GO and Battlefield 1 are liek the only games people play."
You're the worst mate. Please stop for your own sake😂
Lynex83i got a open box gtx 1080 Fe for $420 and a used water block for $75. so a water cooled 1080 for less than $500 what are you even talking about man?
impootinlikevladimirHe's one of those trolls that isn't self-aware enough to realize it- I'm just hoping he doesn't embarrass himself like this too often.
liscombcFury non X here. I know I'm not really going to hit 144 FPS in the games I play, but I can settle until we get Vega. I was also thinking we'd get Vega not long after the monitors. I'm upgrading both resolution and refresh rate, so I'm pretty excited.
impootinlikevladimirHmm. Glad that it clearly states that you bought used and open box hardware in the post you tried to brag about your purchase.
Oh wait, it doesn't say that at all. Nice try, trying to justify spending 700$
StoneBoneYea I dont know whats wrong with him. I assume he is a little kid to be acting like that. Reminds me of a young kid acting out for attention. I won't be able to use the free sync portion which sucks but i mainly play Rocket league and PuBg so it should be fine. Im just excited after backing this the second day which felt like at least a month a half ago its finally shipped. No more stupid overclocked 73Hz monitor.
