Sorry, I understood your 50% as being 50% above the Ti, my bad.

LG's 144Hz 27-inch 4K IPS gaming monitor is now available

https://www.engadget.com/lg-4k-ips-ultra-gear-gaming-monitor-104539945.html

"The company touts the model as the “world’s first 4K IPS 1ms GtG monitor,” since the 1ms GtG model it succeeds doesn’t have 4K resolution. Its spec sheet also lists a 144Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR 600 support and 2 HDMI ports. It sadly doesn’t come with a USB-C port, but it does feature NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility" " it’ll set you back at least $800"

Slowly getting there loll

Hopefully they get it up to snuff since Global Foundries are also having issues and we know what essh worthy things can come out of a monopoly

GN has Confirmed: 12-Pin Connectors For Ampere, Likely OEM Focus

"This week, there’s been a rumor making the rounds that 12-pin connections from the PSU are in order for new Ampere cards. GN has independently confirmed that this is true: 12-pin connections for Ampere are legitimate. Though, as we currently understand it, it isn’t likely to have an effect on the current DIY/enthusiast space. To make it clear, it’s highly unlikely you’ll need a new PSU for Ampere, at least not for lack of proper cables, anyway.

12-pin connectors have been in discussion at Nvidia for a few years now, and GN has even reaffirmed this with now-former Nvidia employees. We’ve also talked to all the major AIB partners and have been able to confirm that custom cards, and even custom coolers based on the reference PCB, will ship with 2x 8-pin or 3x 8-pin connectors, (the latter being aimed at serious overclockers) rather than a single 12-pin connector.

A single 12-pin connector is capable of delivering 600W, versus 2x 6-pins at 225W (150W + 75W from PCIe x16 slot) or 2x 8-pins at 375W (300W + 75W from PCIe x16 slot).

Rather, as we understand it, Nvidia’s reference (FE) cards will have a 12-pin connector, and may even come with an adapter -- something like an adapter from 2x 8 to 1x 12-pin connector. However, we’re not sure if these cards will make it to the retail channel, or if they will be strictly an OEM focus. We’re leaning towards the latter. Furthermore, it’s likely that OEMs like HP and Dell, and maybe even system integrators will be the primary customer for 12-pin cards.

We also know, based on a cable factory we toured about a month ago, that manufacturers are scrambling to get the tooling and molds ready for 12-pin cables. What we aren’t entirely sure of is just how widespread 12-pin connector cards will be."

Alright maybe Nvidia is crazy but as you shouldn't need a new PSU according to the report and the partner cards shouldn't come with the 12 pin, maybe they are half a step crazy? But if it's OEM focused, then it won't be care worthy either way... I am willing to believe GN more so than a few other sources since their confirmations have been fairly on point.

I see we're playing big pecker game here.

It's a good thing that such an fofer isn't exclusive to just EG on PC, since we have other venues around, as well as Steam that give out free games here and there. 

Ahh, minus the free games, so that makes EG not so much on par with Steam, but ahead I assume?.

Like for all things considered, you've got this sarcy stance whenever you mention EG news, as if you've got to make an enemy out of those who don't really like it, nor like their way of business practices. I noticed how you acted with KEMC before, so I know it's not just me.

Oh, no, I'm the one that should apologize. I made a comment thinking about regarding a card that no one had named, hence your confusion.

That monitor looks good, and it's a Freesync Premium monitor that makes it compatible with G-Sync.

My only concern is that 4K at 27" may be a very high pixel density. But then again, I'm typing that on a 25" 1440p so...

What worries me from this connector is: why the hell does Nvidia want a 600W capable connector?!

Disclaimer: I'm quite sure that it's the extra amperage what Nvidia is going after, but it's still shocking.

Could be for the Titan series support or something.

If the 3080Ti/3090 uses 400W, I can't help but wonder what could a Titan have to demand an extra 200W.

Seems like I missed the massive price dumps for 4k144Hz displays. The LG display looks juicy, even though it "only" has DisplayHDR600

With Mini-LEDs on the horizon and OLED rumoured to be getting better for that PC monitor range, I think you will see a lot of monitors coming down in price. Personally I might either get the 48 inch CX or wait till next year.

Since I'm getting the LG CX65 anyway I think I'm gonna wait for the first DP2.0 monitors. I will have to assume Ampere will have those.
