Do you just like paying more money, OP?
>>54864416
because I'm not intending to buy cards that can run 4k
>>54864421
I'm getting a 1070
But after reading some reviews I'm starting to consider another monitor anyway, apparently the g sync causes it to have difficulties when approaching 144hz. Might just be an individual thing though. I'll look for a 1440p 144hz option that doesn't have g-sync and see if it's well-reviewed.

What even is the point of 4k? It makes sense for TVs but how huge of a monitor would you need to take advantage of it? Not to mention the crazy amounts of GPU power you'd need.
I don't know if I'm missing something but 4k monitors seem fucking stupid.
>>54864517
Why do workstations still have the best-looking cases?
>>54864538

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

I used to think curved was a dumb gimmick until I bought a curved TV. It's not a gimmick, it's more immersive. It also gives the illusion of being bigger than it actually is. When I was buying my TV I saw the same exact models in store, flat and curved. Curved seemed bigger even though they were the same exact size and was just much more fun to watch. I will never ever go back to flat again.
Curved especially benefits ultra wide monitors. You fags can type memescreen and shit all you want but just look at this...

>unless you're a designer or a gaymer you probably don't need a 4k screen YET due to the very limited amount of 4k content available
I fell for the 4k meme only a month before Apple unveiled it's 5k screen, people who buy high end 4k screens now are going to be the same as those people who rushed out and bought high end 720p screens before 1080p started being released
>>54864339
RX480 8 gig
>>54867145
the pixel density of 4k 24" monitors is roughly the same as apple's 5k monitors. those are just ~27". the whole "contribution" of the 5k monitor is the "retina display", which is most simply described as doubling the resolution of whatever you would have had at that size. at 24" that's 1920x1080*2 which approximates to 4k.
the people who fucked up are the ones that bought
- 4k 40" TVs to use as monitors
- 21:9 (i.e. fedora) monitors
- monitors that are higher density but not quite doubled (like 25" 2560x1440)
>>54867145
see the problem is I fell for the GTX1080 meme and of course my monitor died within a week. So now I cant get a pleb 60hz 1080p monitor since im a good goy ya know?
I'm trying not to fall for two memes in the same month.
>>54867145
So you're saying that everyone should buy over fucking priced 5k screens even when there's barely any content for 4k screens ? That seems pretty flawed.
>>54864339

Meh just added one more thing because why not. Now I'm broke and have everything I need except for two 1080's. It's been fun. Time to live on ramen.
>>54867263
not him, but
1) we had literally the exact same debate when 1080p was an issue. the same shit about people complaining that content at that resolution was taxing and so few people had the hardware for it to say nothing of monitors for it to say nothing of whether human eyes or brains or penises could even appreciate that resolution.
we look back and realize that all of that was retards being retarded. content and hardware will progress in parallel, but if you're too chickenshit to make a move then the demand side will freeze and neither will move forward.
2) see >>54867237; 4k at ~24" or 5k at ~27", it's all 2x of the resolutions we were dealing with at those sizes before. are you people not able to see this underlying rule here?
>>54867316
You're insane. I have 16k in the bank and I'm still on a 7 year old laptop because I'm too frugal to by a rig. I'm jealous of your blind stupidity.

>>54867340
not him but having x in the bank means nothing if your income is 0. if he makes 16k and can easily set aside 600 or 700 for a motherboard - after taxes, expenses, *and* setting aside money for the future - then it's not insane.
i ultimately agree with you that it's probably not the best use of 600 dollars to make himself happy - that's enough money to buy some high quality korean prostitutes in my area - but everyone's got their own outlet.

From their recent conference, but I wouldn't put much stock into reports from such a setting, probably pretty biased.

Find more expensive material things to focus on, or start traveling.

And the fact they forgot to mention dual gpu setups have always and continue to still be inferior to a single gpu.
>>54873139
I agree, which is why I'm opting for the 1070.
>wait for Vega
Tired of waiting.
Looking at the PG279Q, but I'm worried I'll get some awful IPS glow or dead pixels, knowing their shit QC.
I just want an IPS 1440p 144Hz monitor that isn't ass

You probably don't really want a full size or blacks, but I guess making a mistake is the best way to learn something. At least you didn't fall for the brown meme, but I bet you're still thinking you don't want a 'loud keyboard'.
>>54873464
Yeah but you wouldn't need anything over 60 hz.
>>54869274
That just means you have owned nothing but garbage all your life. But good for you, ignorance is bliss.
>>54873509
I have 120 hz and its better

I am thinking to save up for a 5820k.
I just want to build a computer with the best price/performance ratio. May not be a 5820k by the time I've saved up for it.
>>54873828
why
55" 4K TV
>>54873856
Why not?
I've already got my case, I just need to mod it. Ive got to decide what CPU+mobo I want so I can figure out how to mod the case.
Waiting on Dells 43" 4K screen.
Should be in a couple of weeks.

Yes. I am a poorfag. Been saving for months.
>>54874010
Why you need the most powerful?
>>54864339
Because i keep reserve fund for hardware, but this thing will take tiny bit of additional effort.
>>54874085
Because I want it to last me at least 4 years.
I also might be doing some developing over the course of the next 4 years. I don't care for gaming too much either. I just want to 12 cores.
Next month, I'll be able to get it.
>>54874119
nigger the i5 from 2007 is still valid and powerful the fuck are you doing, close your eyes. fuck
>>54874145
If you're talking about the 2500k, it would have been better to buy the 2600k at the time for only $100 more.
The $100 investment pays off over time. That's why I would go for a 5820k. It's still going to be relevant for 5+ years.
>>54874237

JUST BUY 2500K it will last until year 2066

>>54874258
Retard, there's a difference between keeping your old 2500k because upgrading is pointless, and purposefully buying an old CPU even in a new build. Haswell-E/Broadwell-E/6700k is much smarter than the 2500k for a new build because of hyperthreading and vt-d support.

Not really saving up, I have the money, I'm waiting on a good 21:9 1440p monitor which doesn't have light bleed.
>>54864468
>Probably going to be around 600-800€
Hahahaha! For that price I don't want to imagine how shitty that ergo desk must be.
Nothing really. Going to buy another refurbished ThinkPad when I need it in a couple months since my R61 doesn't have enough resolution or runtime for what I'll be doing, my T61 is currently performing another role, and my ChromeBook/Crouton is too unreliable to depend on entirely. Otherwise, all my expendable income is being spent on other fun stuff, such as vegan advocacy and a six-week trip with my bf to Spain, France, and Italy.

PG279Q isn't ass. IPS glow is a thing when viewing dark content from an angle. You don't get an IPS without it.
>>54874061
Maybe you are just young.
Why not just visit the library?
>>54873209
I got that monitor but in the freesync version (ASUS MG279Q). And I love it.

I'm never going to buy Acer monitors ever again... I had one of the first 1080p monitors back then and the one I bought had a noisy PSU. Half a year later it broke and I had to deal with the legendary Acer tech support for multiple months and had to send this piece of shit multiple times to their repair service. In the end I got parts of my money back, but they fucked up the remittance and I had to call their hotlines several times again.
TL;DR
avoid Acer
A nice SGI box like an R10K+ O2 or a POWER Indigo2 for audio stuff and playing around with Softimage/Maya.

>ugh. can we as enthusiasts of technology agree not to interpolate as we upgrade our monitors? this is going to cause us to deal with the absolute shittiest transition phase technology has ever seen.
>go 2x or just don't.
This a thousand times. If you double resolution, why would you get the idea of doing anything other than doubling the scaling?
