Even the 4090 isn’t powerful enough for 4k120 without upscaling and Frame Gen. Why put out 4k240 monitors if the newest gen, essentially “Titan” class GPU, can’t even drive it?

Because AI-upscaling and frame gen are here to stay. You’re going to have to accept it eventually.

So you need more than 165hz, 10bit, hdr, and 4k in a couple of years?

Yes. I want my dual-4k 32:9 240hz display for coding goddamit.

Nvidia: “No one has DP2.1 monitors, why ship it?”

Monitor manufacturers: “No one has DP2.1 capable sources, why ship it?”

Some one has to go first. This is how tech works people.

like dunking on Nvidia for not putting money into something that had literally 0 tech available for it in the forseeable future

That’s not how this works. GPUs have an effective lifespan of 5-10 years, and hardware vendors look at what’s out there to set roadmaps and releases. Someone has to go first and make it available, and Nvidia skipping 2.1 on 4xxx is only slowing down next-gen display releases.

And unless I’m missing something, the ONLY way to get TrueHD 7.1 + ATMOS is via HDMI. The old optical standard (name escapes me) can’t do that.

Because HDMI is a pain in the ass and everybody who is using a PC is expecting to use DisplayPort.

Unless you’ve ascended to the PC-powered couch gamer. Don’t knock it until you try it!

• PC

• flagship OLED

• comfy couch

• ATMOS surround system

Takes PC gaming to a whole other level. HDMI is nice for eARC (PC direct to display, audio feeds back to the AVR/amp via HDMI). It’s a clean, awesome setup. Also lets you run TrueHD 7.1 ATMOS for all those Linux ISOs :)

DP2.1 is great and all, but is there any talk yet of “HDMI3” or 2.2? Flagship OLED TVs wont ever come with DP

I’m hoping by 2024 we can get an 8k120 TV that can also run in 4k240 mode.

qlc is not reliable enough

I’m fine with it, I want 16TB NVMe M2 cards at a reasonable price for my next TrueNAS build

I just want 240hz on the pro. 120 is great but could be smoother.
