Nice, the 9900k will take the cake. However do you have an additional board? I'm not aware of the z270 supporting it, at least not without heavy BIOS modification.
 
Yep...have a board for that chip here, used it when I killed my 8700k
 
Monitor arrived last week, set it up and played around a bit. Very nice so far. Not going to put any time in to further setup, tweaking, etc as I'll do a clean build for the 9900k (it arrived today so will do testing and setup bare then swap when ready). Definitely psyched :)

Thanks for the thoughts, opinions and feedback!

When it doesn't scale, very few titles will run 4k/60 ultra.
Incorrect. I've tried 4k on six different AAA games so far and I can hold 60 FPS all day on all of them. On games with DLSS I can do 90 FPS. But I have my 2080Ti overclocked quite a bit as well. It adds about a 12% FPS boost over stock settings.

Cool. But you've got a 2080ti...I was responding to someone (the OP - back in March) in reference to his 1080ti's in SLI when they don't scale.

That said maybe 'very few' was a bit dramatic, but a 1080ti isn't known for being 4k/60/ultra.

EDIT: And two days ago, I even told you a 2080Ti is a 4k/60 card...I think you missed the runway here. :thup:

lol, yes! I dont have any 3rd party apps or need to edit hex anything to get my games to work! :)
Nice, The hoops I have had to jump thru to play games is quite long. How about this last one...Needed to replace my 2 core Cpu to a 4 core to play Farcy 4....LOL (Or it might have been 5)

Going to spend another day when I get a chance to get Tiger Woods '07 to work in Win 10. That has been on my wish list for a while...Have failed at it 2 or 3 times now and given up.

Oh man giving me nostalgic feels for the tiger woods games of that era!



On topic, one of my buddies bought I believe this same monitor a month or so ago and ended up returning it as there's a known issue where part of the panel flickers.
