GeForce RTX 4090 limited to 120Hz on Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 dual 4K 240Hz monitor

While I agree that Ada should have come with DP2.1 regardless, I don't really feel bad in a case like this where not even the 6090 will be able to drive a monitor like that. Like if you have a 7900xtx, not only will your idle power consumption will go skyrocketing but you need to enable FSR in ultra performance mode which is terrible. Idk who this monitor is for lol. Maybe if you want to play 4k on one half and run discord on the other half.

Sorry but isn't the higher refresh of monitors useful for, for example, reducing ghosting even if the card powering it isn't fast enough to match the frequency with new fps-es? That was the whole point of those screens.

Also, who cares, 120 Hz vs 240Hz is something not many will notice unless they're actively trying to find a difference while using that UFO test. In a normal game session you'll be very hard pressed to notice it.

Well that is more dependent on the panel than the refresh rate. A poor 240hz VA panel can have worse ghosting/smearing than an excellent 120hz OLED panel for example. Since this panel in particular is from Samsung and it's a VA panel, we have seen tons of issues in the past with the G9 series that also had 240hz VA panels. Maybe Samsung fixed those issues that were present in the older versions but after 2-3 generations of same problems across multiple different categories of monitors, I highly doubt it.

The only monitors that will be worth getting are the 4k 240hz OLED panels that are coming out next year from Samsung as they are excellent in virtually every area.
