Your voice could put me to sleep and somehow wake me up at the same time...

what do you think if i purchase this monitor,but i have a rtx 4070 super and ryzen 7 7800x3d? do i need to upgrade even further my pc,because i bought this one recently haha

[@yoomyr5532]

Thats a damn good setup. You dont need to max out fps to enjoy this monitor. Most games will never realistically allow reaching 360hz. No need to upgrade. Enjoy your setup. Unless you have money to burn. 😅

[@salvatorecavaliere7736]

Hey, I have the same gpu and cpu combo, this qd oled is great, depending what games you play I get up to 300fps on mw3

[@farukcajic4033]

@@salvatorecavaliere7736 i mean from fps games,mostly cs2,pubg,arena breakout infinite,r6 siege

[@youknow7294]

i got similar setup 7900 gre + 7800x3d this monitor perfect 360 fps on overwatch 300 on apex

[@PureGamingsation]

Do I always need to set my smart HDR mode to peak 1000 in the monitor when using HDR or does enabling HDR in windows auto enable it for me? Or is it the combination of the two?

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Once you have set HRD to peak 1000, whenever you switch windows (Use windows + ALT + B), it will always switch to the last HDR you have set in the monitor options. You can use other HDR modes if you feel the brightness is too high - but just bare in mind HDR peak 1000 has the best brightness and accuracy. Check out Monitor's Unboxed video, I have linked the exact time he talks about this in the URL below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqTWlqaleNJnorc

[@ElectroMoe]

@@DoubleTakeTechUk thank you for that response, what about preset modes? Should I just stick to Standard or should I switch to another for accurate picture settings or lower latency? Is there a trade off in any of the settings as well etc lower brightness for lower latency. Thank you

[@farukcajic4033]

and great video

[@DoubleTakeTechUk]

Thanks for the feedback. Your setup is great. You do not need to upgrade, unless money is of zero concern. Your 90-95% there - is it worth spending 1000s for that last 10%?

[@farukcajic4033]

@@DoubleTakeTechUk I will get this monitor 99%,won't upgrade my graphics card until next year. Probably getting a 5080 or 90. Depending on the bottleneck with the 7800x3d
