It is absolutely worth it, I’m really surprised you even bought one 🤯. She is all function and performance though. I know I was worried with mine because the Z690 Apex was not a very good performer over the Unify-X. It worked and looked really really cool while doing it. Out of curiosity when was your new apex made?

BeamNG FUN!!!! This is literally the funnest way to pass time! While your working 😂

The Z790 Apex is absolutely amazing! Mine is so consistent and has been since day 1! Many others have the same consistency. I was worried going in to it. But it worked out 100%.

This is the 4K flex that @electrosoft is referring to! It still runs (The Last Of Us ) very very smoothly though! And the game is absolutely maxed out, with Quality DLSS. It’s really pretty impressive.

Is your laptop a 4K display? These panels are great for work! You can really do so much. But for gaming, I wouldn’t mess with it. I would probably just run 1920x1080 for best performance.

This 3090 Kingpin is an absolute power house for sure. The loss when running 4K is very minimal. I’m going to demonstrate (The Last Of Us) next. My frame rate at when running 2560x1440P and then now 3840x2160 almost doesn’t make sense. Desktops are much more powerful than laptops. My system would do some serious damage against even a MSI GT77 Titan RTX4090 Laptop which is a $5,000 dollar machine. 🙂 I almost bought one, but I convinced my self otherwise. I will eventually upgrade to a RTX4090 desktop, or a RTX4090 Super. Especially with the release of StarField approaching in September of 2023 🤯🤯🤯. Unless it runs smoothly on my 3090 Kingpin.

Playing RDR2@4K (Slight performance loss due to recording with the RTX3090, actual FPS will be higher) Later in the video I do enable the 8XMSAA Reflection AA, Tree Tessellation, and the overkill water physics at 100%! Then I travel to the most demanding map in the game, Strawberry.

@Mr. Fox The V-Color Manta 8200c38 (2x24GB) kit has arrived. The person who sent me these said they can run 8800. I’m not so sure my IMC can though haha (I have no idea honestly). We will see! I will give them a good test over the weekend. I am pretty much selling parts for a guy, because he’s not a very trust worthy person on the forums. I believe he’s burned a few people, so I’m selling the memory for him. (I’ll give it a good test first) but he’s sent me numerous CPU’s in the past to fix SMD’s on or delid, or test etc. This is the same guy you mentioned once who sold you a 10900K that died I believe. 🙂 But you would essentially be able to buy the fastest commercially available DDR5 for really really cheap compared to their original eye watering $569 MSRP.

This 3090 Kingpin is just destroying 4K. I’ve got to put together some gameplay footage showing this off. My overclock, my windows, my forced rebar settings are performing phenomenally. I swear the loss in performance from 2560x1440P to 3840x2160P is extremely minimal or not at all sometimes. It is really the strangest thing Maybe it’s the 22% overclock to the GDDR6X, the core overclock, increased power limit. It all adds up I suppose. I was playing Halo Infinite maxed out and up-scaled to 8K with my son earlier in a Co-op campaign. Getting about 45FPS 😂

That’s really impressive!!! That’s like a stock 11900K/10900K multi performance.

What happen to waiting until refresh? You see some fancy SP, and your wallet just folds in half on you lol (Or unfolds) 😂

@electrosoft Did you buy that 13900KS for $649? That thing had P-SP124 P-Cores, and E-SP 97 E-Cores. What an amazing deal. Surprised to see it wasn’t delidded already.

Just an update on my Aorus FO48U 48” OLED. The monitor is holding up just great. I have 65 hours actual on screen time now, the monitor already had 37 hours when I first got it. The hours do add up fast! No burn-in at all, nothing weird going on. The monitor runs a pixel refresh/cleaner every 4 hours of actual on screen usage, this pixel refresh takes like 2 minutes to complete sometimes, no more than 5 on the longer runs. You don’t have to run it if you don’t want to, and the warning to do so only pops up when you hit the power button to turn it off, but I always let it run because that’s what LG and Gigabyte recommend. This panel sleeps and wakes perfectly and has never failed me once with this sleep/wake cycle. Plenty of large monitors/TV’s struggle to do this simple task! It turns off after just 3 minutes of idle per my Windows settings, and wakes up immediately after moving the mouse. I’m using this thing everyday for 6-8+ hours, LG says modern 2020+ OLED panels can last 100,000 hours or 30 years 😂 (I’m not so sure about that, but okay LG lol) I think being mindful of OLED pre cautions will allow this display to work perfectly for years and years and years. Like turning it off when you walk away for some a while. Letting the pixel refresher run. You would be surprised to hear a guy actually posted a video using older Aorus FW showing how to avoid running the pixel refresher 🤷‍♂️lol. One thing is for sure the picture quality is second to none, and using one big 4K panel for work makes things quick and easy with daily work. There’s no perfect do it all display, and there really are so many potential sacrifices when investing in any single monitor nowadays.

That’s a 31% improvement in graphics performance, that’s like a GPU upgrade LOL!! 😳

Make sure everything is closed in the background.

Still waiting for them to get here. Hopefully a couple more days. I’ll keep you posted.

I know it’s crazy how low the brightness is on these OLED’s TV’s and monitors. I cannot explain it other than just to try one, and you’ll see how acceptable it is. It’s so magnificent 😭 all of the light in this monitor is legit color and vividness. Plus, it’s so massive that’s all you see LOL. Man oh man. I have been seriously missing out. I’m done with small screens forever. I think 42-43” would probably be the smallest I ever go. OLED, or Mini-LED is all that’s acceptable from here on out. I wish everyone could experience this. The display looks like a colorful vivid poster in real life. Almost like you can touch the graphics. 🤷‍♂️

The RTX3090 does best with 4K/DX12 and Raytracing running and any other intensive graphics enabled, the heavier the load the better it scales. I have just started playing all of my games in 4K since the new monitor, and I’m surprised to see how small the loss in performance is going from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160. So far 68-100FPS seems to be what I get regardless of the title. No 4090 by any means but definitely serviceable.

That 7900XTX does well in Firestrike and Firestrike Extreme. I can't touch it. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i9-13900KS Processor,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX (3dmark.com) This is my Speedway run. (First time ever running it, I just broke down and paid the $5 bucks lol) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i9-13900KS Processor,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX (3dmark.com)

I’d buy a 3090 Kingpin Hybrid. You can find them for cheap like $700 maybe, 360MM AIO, and faster than 3090Ti FE right out of the box with no adjustments or overclocking applied.

I always thought the 6950XT and even the RTX4070 did super well at like 1080P/1440P. But then when the high power 4K kicks in they kind of fizzle out.

I’ll give it a run with my 13900 to see where it’s at. I have not run Firestrike in a very long time. One thing for sure, my GPU excels best under really heavy 4K loads lol. In this lighter 1080P stuff I get beat up by newer gen GPU’s

The one on the bottom has a 13900K with DDR5 7200, that’s the only difference I see. But it has a 44% higher graphics score 😳 That really just doesn’t make sense to me.

Why is your graphics score so much higher on the bottom screenshot?
