He still hasn't quite got it right around GPU's, the RTX 4090 will absolutely still be consistently faster than 7900XTX with this display (although a lot more expensive), however due to the lower display port on the 4090 it can't "technically" hit 240hs/fps unlike the 7900XTX that can. Neither card has the grunt to do this reliably however.

All these superwide monitors are something you buy and then "grow into" as you upgrade. I've had a G9 for 2 years and love it. As I upgrade my hardware, I'll get more use from the features. Older games run great. Just wait until you're on a Nvidia 5000 series card.

I was considering a second 32” screen, an OLED 4k one probably but I’ve always found 2 screens is a pain unless one is definitely subsidiary and off to one side, because there is always some sort of bezel right in the middle at the ideal spot for your eyes.

I’ve bought this monitor for my M1 Pro.

It takes 30 mins) and hdmi 2.1 cable and you will get 4k 120 hz as well.

This monitor is very welcomed by our customers of our chair cockpit … many of them asking if our Manticore chair can support the G9 monitor . The Answer is Yes.

Regarding PBP refresh rates and the vertical line you can get rid of the line with nVidia's "surround" feature. It tricks the OS into thinking it is a single monitor of DUHD and not two UHD (4K) monitors in PBP mode, which improves the experience massively as the wallpaper, maximising etc works as if you had a single input.

I'm loving this monitor... I've had it about 2 weeks or so.. Didn't think I would like it this much. The 4090 is the way to go if you can afford it... The whole 240hz debacle is overblown because there isn't a consumer GPU from team red/green that can push this monitor anywhere close to 240hz at native resolutions or with upscaling options. 120hz is perfect for now.. when that 5090 comes out I will definitely be buying that in order to really push this monitor. Oh and I have no problem running PBP modes at 120 on each side in full 4k resolutions. Even when I had two hdmi 2.1 devices connected there wasn't any issues pushing the monitor at 120hz 4k. No HDR of course or VRR. But still that is the best way to console game on this monitor. Great vid as always Pete!!!

Thanks for letting me know about PBP 120hz! I'll try it a few more times, every combination I tried always gave me 60/120!

That's ridiculous to say it's the way to go when it doesn't get 240hz. Even if you're not getting the full 240fps you can get around 150-180 in plenty of games. It's not worth spending more for a GPU that nerfs your monitor. I'd rather get the 240hz and have the full available VRR range. Not to mention fsr/dlss exists.

Hmm. I think 2x 34" ultrawide is wiser for now still. Pushing 3440x1440@120 is a sweet spot for gaming without overheating the room and within reasonable budget.

Hey pete 👋 in the 5120x1440 you get 240 hz on the m2 mac?

I run my 57" as two monitors side by side both at 120hz with an Nvidia 4070ti with no visible line in between, even when I centre a window across the middle of the two screens. I use HDMI ports 2 & 3 for this.

If you would have paired your 7900xtx with a Ryzen 7800x3d or higher x3d CPU, you would have been able to use the smart access memory feature which without over explanation, would have boosted your FPS. Not up to 240 FPS fast but a noticeable amount.

I have one of the really early HD Pivot's and it doesn't support the monitor. I don't know if it is just because it is an early revision or if some will support and others will not.

Your 7900 XTX can achieve a full resolution at 240hz with 10bit HDR because of the connection, but the GPU's ability limits you from hitting those frames. The irony is that the 4090 could generate the higher frame rate, but the display port 1.4a is self-limiting. Cheers for the effort. I suspect the next iteration of 4090, possibly the 4090 Ti, will have the display port 2.1, but we'll see what happens. Cheers, thank you for the effort.

The text is still blurry and not as Crisp if I plug in my Windows laptop to the monitor. this is Very simply a SOFTWARE ISSUE. it's clear to me after trying a billion cables and third party apps even to try to adjust the display settings that Mac OS just simply does not SCALE things well. Another thing - that "HiDPI" thing that you see next to resolutions on a Mac, I don't see that for the 5120 x 1440 resolution, I think that's simply because Apple has NOT patched the OS to deal with this resolution, and that's why we don't get the advanced scaling options.

@@PeteMatheson So, does the MacBook Pro M3 or Mac Studio M2, when using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, support the full resolution of this monitor (7,680 x 2,160)?

I left it in the previous video without knowing about this one. so I'm putting it here as well: Can this monitor support 3 input sources? I want to connect 3 computers and am considering using a USB switch. What's the easiest way to switch between the inputs? Would changing the input source and switching the USB allow simultaneous access to all 3 computers?

Hey Gaston! Thanks for the comment - interesting question. You can plug in 3 devices, but not show them all at once. Switch using the controls underneath which is easy enough, I guess you'd need to get a USB Hub to switch the devices? Alternatively, I use a Logitech MX Keyboard & Mouse which all connect to 3 devices so I can just switch them at a tap of a button - so no need for a USB Hub if it's just the Keyb & Mouse you're looking at switching.

imagine building the "most advanced" monitor ever, but not even having a usb-c connection

Just got my neo g9. I ran into a number of issues with the PC not detecting the monitor. The only thing I have found works is plugging both DP and HDMI and then removing one once the monitor turns on. I have no idea why this works.

When using Amd graphic card please suggest the driver versions as well

Hey Pete so you got rid of the LG 45? Which one would you recommend?
