oh? only with nvidia cards I can get 100hz?

yes bro. if not, it will simply lock to a normal 60Hz. 100Hz is enabled via the embedded Gsync module of the panel.

anyway, one upgrade at a time. Pair the monitor with a compatible NV GPU and you can enjoy Gsync also. It isn't just about the 100Hz, for me the most important thing is it is Gsync-capable panel.

ahh, ok.. thanks for this info, yeah, 1 upgrade at a time as you mention.

Ya, G-sync is the meat. It's even impressive at lower frame rate like 40fps, where G-sync help reduce the blur.

issit tru the minimum for gsync is 980ti? (4k price lel) any other card compatible?

lel nvm found it

sien leh if want to buy this need to upgrade psu also

what's your full pc spec, if you don't mind me asking? Just buy one thing at a time. I'm in a midst of upgrading also, buy some hardwares at a time, on my own pace.

now canot be specific since at office but something like this

i5 3470

16g gskil ripjaw forgot what clock

psu silverstone 450w/ 650w i forgot

mobo asus P8H77-M

kingston hyperx 128g ssd

leadtek gtx650 3gb ram

old pc lol

Mine even pity spec i5 2500K and 8GB RAM
Upgrade GPU and larger SSD i5 3470 and 16GB RAM should still good enough for 1070

psu 650 is enough? tempted with GIGABYTE H170N-WIFI leh, but when kira2 for new setup


Core i7-6700K 1450
GSKILL RipjawsV Black 2x8GB DDR4 499
INTEL 540s 240GB M.2 459
GIGABYTE H170N-WIFI 569
3TB Caviar Blue 429
V850 (80+ GOLD) 759
GTX950 Extreme 839
total 5004

if wanna buy z35 = 3200 and dxracer 1000++

i pengsan already...

for a little bit of future-proofing, you won't get wrong in choosing either the H170 or even better the Z170. The later comes with additional support of 20 PCIe lanes by the Z170 chipset, exclusive of the 16 direct PCIe lanes provided by your i7 6700K (a total of 36 PCIe lanes), in which you can play around later on in expanding your system for your IO peripherals, for example, a NVME SSD, a PCIe-based storage, a faster wifi card, etc. This is important in case you want to do SLI in the future, who knows right? Furthermore, you choose to go for the K version of the i7, so Z170 would be a better choice there.

and to answer your question, 650W is good enough for the above specs, but you never know if lets say in the near future, you wanna add on another one card and maybe do some OC on your CPU and GPU, if I were you, I'd go for the 850W, just for the future upgrade and better efficiency of the PSU operating at half the rated wattage, generally. I did this mistake by buying the 750W, coz I have the plan to do some SLI also later in the future. Wasting a lot of money by buying low wattage then gatal wanna do SLI and need to buy another one. Poor initial planning really.

good reply!!

ive check sli supported z170, mostly above 700 wanna got with itx machiam rugi.

but if with my current spec i just upgrade my gc and buy z35 shud be good enough for now

Let's not forget that Z170 mobos are getting new BIOS updates which will make them compatible for upcoming Kaby Lake CPUs too

I'm still using 450W ( not even real power I think ), rocking 3HDD, 2 SSD, 1070, CPU OCed, with 5 fans and WC pump living on edge

Wanna ask,

Is 29" ultrawide wide optimal for multi tasking and gaming ? Starting to get interested in Ultrawide monitor, as I am thinking of giving my 23" HP monitor to my dad to replace is 19" monitor.

yes it's optimal. i'm guessing you're planning to get the LG UM29 one?

Yup, it seem like an entry to UW monitors, and within my budget too if I save till next year, as I have to overhaul my mobo and processor.
