so might need to allocate more to that

#

unless rosewill capstone 1000w

#

which works

#

Because I'm a M27q simp, I will now list areas where M27q is better than VG27aq:
Much better pre-calibration, 0.97 color dE compared to 3.34 color dE
Better color gamut, 97.3% of Adobe RGB xy compared to 74.2% of Adobe RGB xy
Better HDR gamut, 85.8% DCI P3 xy to 69.8% DCI P3 xy
No color bleed on M27q, 0.458% column error on VG27aq (vertical color bleed)
Better overall response time, 8.4ms to 11.5 ms
No overshoot on M27q, 5.8% on VG27aq
M27q much better io and connectivity, on top of KVM

#

@wanton cliff hey, I found a thing vg27aq is better at tho, it supports BFI with freesync (whatever bfi does), when M27q supports BFI, but not with freesync on

wanton cliff Mar 16, 2021, 4:10 PM

#

ooh

stoic island Mar 16, 2021, 4:13 PM

with that CPU and that motherboard, you may need to do whats called 'flashing the BIOS'

#

this basically means taking a USB stick, putting the newest version of the motherboard's firmware on it, putting it in the designated USB slot, pressing the flashback button on the motherboard, and waiting a few minutes

#

theres a bit more to it and you will need to look up a youtube video most likely but thats a thing you may need to do as well

My case supports up to 420mm rad but this is longer than 420

muted patio Mar 16, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

Because 3x140mm fans is 420mm plus the extra for the tubes

#

Tubes can't exit in a fan

#

240mm rads aren't 240mm either

#

If the case says it will support a 420mm rad, that means it also accounts for the extra where the tubes are

Hey Ryan, do you know if there are any 20 series or 16 series cards any cheaper than say $650 Singh that’s about the pride of evga 3070

theres a lot of cards you can get for under 650

1650 is prolly cheapest out there
