I completed Gunther’s upgrade with the new monitor that FedEx dropped of this morning. LG Gaming 32ish”, 1440p, 144hz to pair with the new 5700XT and Ryzen 3900X. Thanks Uncle Sam.

The head of household security was disappointed I temporarily put a box on the doggo bed in the spare room where my PC lives, but she got over it. The only downside to this model is it has some red gamer highlights on the back, but fortunately that all faces the wall. The grown up version of this display was more expensive.

First Impressions:

Wow. Coming from 27"1080p/90hz, this is a revelation. In general use/Oppoing mode, things are so sharp and there is so much room for activities on the desktop.

Pushed up to the edge of the desk for racing mode, the immersion is a whole lot better stepping up in size to a 32ish” class display. Firing up some F12019, holy shit is this better. So sharp, so big, so smooth, and Gunther, as always, makes a good room heater. With settings maxed at 1440p, the 5700XT maintains an average 134fps.

That’ll do.

Now that I tried it out, I can go back to folding tonight.

Because necessary for folding.

Because my old display couldn’ use any of the non-folding advantage of the 5700XT over my old RX590. The 590 would push just about any title to 90fps at 1080p with setting maxed out, or very close to maxed out. The 5700xt w/new display let me make the jump to 1440p and up to 144fps.

At least it was red instead of the awful blue that a lot of electronics get paired with

The Ferrari version of the Thrustmaster TX base wheel was the one that happened to be on sale when I was buying, but I do enjoy the horse on it.
