I have zero experience with TV's on PC's, and probably making a stupid suggestion just because you haven't mentioned it, but have you selected the signal source on the TV settings menu? And congrats for that mean looking machine!

Not all drones are made equal, many have some autonomous modes, they can be guided by an operator or have pre-planned routes, but they can track and attack moving targets as they have guidance systems (a countermeasure to prevent the radios signals from being jammed during final phase). Switchblade, and Lancet are examples. Many other countries also have in house analogues. Besides we are talking about scouts and loitering units rather than expendable munitions.

I have been wondering about use of helicopters in highly contested areas for many years, as drones have been increasingly taking charge since the 90's. That being said I hope Sikorsky manages to find a client for the Defiant troop transport version despite the loss against the V280 for the US army tender. I think there is a place for a high speed long range and low footprint hello. I can see those embarked on ships smaller than LHD's.

Yes, but you did replace it. With 11 GB I was getting stuttering, and couldn't crank the view distance of objects up so trees would popup in front of my Aircraft. Also I had a 27" 1440P monitor and when I upgraded the GPU I also got a Samsung Neo G8 Mini led HDR monitor. What was (not) "fine" before sure was hugely superseded. Specially because I play mostly in Multiplayer.

People buying every odd gen are the minority. I kept my 1080Ti for 5 years, until DCS blasted past its 11Gb VRAM limit. People were paying thru the nose for 8Gb and 10Gb just last gen. And there are plenty of GPU reviews showing how badly those were bottlenecked this way.

Cant wait to get this one.

I would try this: go to power plan and change advanced power settings and then disable USB suspend. See if that helps.

The only 2 good NVIDIA cards are 4080 and 4090, the later is more so because it has enough VRAM for the foreseeable future. The 4070 cards IMHO are fine for present games but they don't have enough left in the tank to last much past that (so to force you to buy a new one next). In reality NVIDIA markets them as 70 class cards and prices them as 4070 class cards but their segmentation is more akin of 60 class cards in the old days. That's why we don't have any 4050's. In contrast 7900XTX have plenty of raster performance and plenty VRAM (24Gb) like the 4090 and for some games they give off same gaming experience, DCS included, being 50% cheaper and more available it is a no brainer really. I am a bit suspect of saying this because I have a 4090 but at the time I was more interested in a 7900XTX, alas AMD botched the logistics at launch as usual so I went the other way.

Not DCS related but rather relevant for current world affairs: A reputable Aerospace Company launched a tender to change the company logo to improve their image. Here's my suggestion to their marketing department: *runs away* null

During last weeks Pope Visit I spotted an Aircraft flying circles overhead as I live nearby the place. I took out phone and zoomed in 50X to identify it and it is clear it was a P-3: And this is what they were up to: If you watch closely youll be able to see security snipers on building tops F-16 low pass over lisbon buzzing all the Popes Audience. I'm sure they apreciated. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8n1kxn

Based in my past experience of swapping components around in my system, any CPU 4 years old or newer, 8 threads or more then the GPU will make the biggest difference. In this system I had 1700X, 2700X, 3900X And finally the 5950X. going from GTX970 to 1080 Ti was a HUGE upgrade, almost 2X uplift, each of the CPU upgrades was nice but not a game changer (around 10-20% change). Then going from the 1080Ti to this RTX4090 again, tripled the performance. Just make sure your not starved of RAM and VRAM. I would say 32GB and 16 GB respectively.

Absolutely get the 7900XTX. Your CPU is fine. I have an RTX 4090 and I had to buy a new case, PSU and now changing the 12VHPWR power cable due to black screens (swapped the original with a CABLEMOD third party unit only to get a bad batch, and I had to order one from the same PSU maker tssk tssk). This card is very picky with power requirements as well as overall component quality in your system. It's pretty mighty in DCS though. Save yourself the trouble and get the 7900XTX if your main game is DCS and ray tracing is not a thing for you. Uses normal power cables, less picky with your PSU and fits in more cases. you should be getting similar performance with 400$ savings. Should be a massive upgrade from your 2080Ti. My PC specs are: 5950X CPU RTX4090 SEASONIC 1000W PSU 64GB of 3600Mhz DDR4 I run the game at 4K/240Hz I run all high settings with view distance at extreme and clouds on ultra. In multiplayer RAM / VRAM usage is around 28GB / 22 GB respectively (shocking, yes). since the 7000XTX has also 24GB of VRAM you should be able to run same settings no prob without a hint of stuttering.

... not to be confused with the 43" one their completely different animals. I upgraded from this: 27" Aorus AD27QD IPS 1440P 144Hz, HDR400 To this: SAMSUNG NEO G8 32" VA 4K 240Hz HDR 1000 (samsung says 2000 but it is a lie) My requirements behind this upgrade: Needed a 4K monitor (I have an RTX 4090) with great motion clarity. and I love HDR content. I see alot of people advise the NEO G7 instead due to price difference but here they were like 100€ appart (1087€ VS 1229€) and this one I could get on a physical store if I need to RMA. (I replaced the stand with a 3rd party one) First the CONS: 1-Found out that the color shift is rather aggrevise during normal browsing or non HDR content (you can see it in my photo above, it can even be noticed when facing directly toward the screen). It's a VA panel. 2-Weak screen uniformity at the edges of the screen when displaying flat light colors, even surpassed by previous monitor which was "only" 600€ 3-Substandard color accuracy out of the box, but switching to sRGB mode and tweaking brightness, black equalizer and saturation makes it look very good. 4- Cheap & wobbly stand. promptly replaced. I recommend you using a VESA mount ( but my table doesnt have enough grip margin for one) PROS -AMAZING DAZZLING HDR performance (to the point of squinting with very bright lights) - MASSIVE contrast improvement in games and videos -HDR hardware on this monitor seems actively boosting my SDR movies & series as well - super sharp display, very clear text and graphics everywhere. - Very good motion clarity (not OLED) - No burn in and care free, better HDR in bright scenes with no limiter (2 reasons why I didnt buy an OLED) Quirks a- That curve is not for everyone, but it helps to keep flat colors from shifting further. b- HDR seems to iron out uniformity issues and color shifting. Gaming also is pleasing without noticing shifting as much anymore. c- when dimming zones are active your content consumption brightens and darkens everything else, including the mouse cursor o_O d- 4K makes my 1080P movies or everything 1080P I kept over the years look like dog poo. e- Low lag is only true if I switch off VRR (I found out I dont really need it with 240Hz & 4090 combo) f- What about them infamous scan lines? Yes they are there but I found out they only show up in very specific situations, screen has to be 240Hz and windows toggles and progress bars must be blue (@4K they are tiny and requires alot of effort to spot). Mine aren't blue because they are in sync with background color. I dont see any scan lines anywhere else not even in paint using flat blues or any other color. I dont understand why reviewers hammer so much on this issue. Critical items that might put you off: 1,2 & a. Item f is a nothingburger. Everything else about this monitor image quality is amazing. Hope this helps everyone else considering this monitor.

Your CPU is fine for a 4090. It shouldn't be an issue unless you want to play shooters on 1080P competitively. At 1440p and 4K, it doesn't matter. On the other hand your 3090 is still a beast, not worth upgrading IMHO, unless you have money burning your pocket, then go ahead sure. EDIT: BTW, if your PSU is not ATX 3.0 you should buy a 3rd party power cable for your 4090. Get rid of the adapter that comes in the box.

Another train wreck of a launch by AMD. The saving grace is that the reference models are out of stock everywhere still. The partner cards are the way to go and they don't have this problem.

Another video, best monitors per category:

As you hinted above for regular gaming there is little point in overclocking a card that is already the fastest, except for experimental / Benchmarking reasons. For your everyday gaming the challenge now is to undervolt to 7900XTX levels. Disclaimer: I would like to make it clear that during my christmas GPU purchase, if I had my way I would have gotten the 7900XTX from a partner brand that doesn't do alot of coil whine. However AMD had another trainwreck of a launch, the only card that was actually in stock and not as heavily overpriced was the ROG strix 4090 (sounds incredible but I have proof ). So that's the one I picked up. Kinda stings that I couldn't make an all red build but at least I gotten the fastest card with everything working as intended out of the box.

the 4090 doesn't consume 600W nominaly. It was the coolers that were engineered for that before final TDP was locked down. Mine will go to 430W peak when it's stressed, high refresh rates (G-sync turned off), ray tracing or just a demanding game like cyberpunk 77 will push the card that far. Enabling DLSS, G-sync and/or lock the framerates to like 100 you can bring that down to like 200-300W. I have one and for my casual gaming like Mechwarrior online, I measured power and it was like 100W lol. The big cooler has a blessing in disguise, because they are way overkill they are quiet even when stressed.

Being 144Hz monitors is a necessary condition for smoothness but by itself in not enough. You need: -That the monitor has reduced motion blur. - When you got that checkbox checked, you need a graphics card that can at least maintain 144 Frames second to match the monitors refresh rate. You can do that with a 1440p with current day high end GPU's but for 4K you there is only one GPU up for the task. Guess which one. Also take in consideration the panel technology and their strengths: -VA typically have great contrast but bad viewing angles and for motion blur but there are exceptions (for blur). One of them is the Samsung Neo G7, and that's even faster at 165Hz. -TN panels are super fast and affordable but their colors and contrast suffer. -IPS typically has the best viewing angles but contrast suffers. Fast ones are very expensive though. OLED/QLED, best image quality overall, but I am not a fan of the burn in anxiety. They are also expensive. here's a few videos to get you started:

Speculation is fun but don't hold your breath waiting for it. In my own experience I will never again adopt the 1st gen of a new tech, been there with powerVR and the original geforce. Both overpriced and could only use them on tech or gaming demos. Never did significant actual gaming on them that couldn't be done with a normal 3DFX. Eventually got one that I milked for years. When 2000 series came along I stayed put. Who played ray tracing games on them?

Just to compare a last gen 5950X on PCIE3 e VS Intel12900K on PCIE4 nullnull Source: https://www.eteknix.com/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xt-7900-xtx-review/7/ Not much of a difference between PCIE3 and PCIE4

Here's a quick benchmark run, 1080Ti VS 4090 on a 5950X...on PCIE 3, not 4 (very old motherboard). Look at them frame rates (focus on the GPU side of results ) 3 times faster. null
