One of the ads I think it was facebook even shows the box with the haribro and the bubble wrap that Ockers uses (think the ads is gone or he changed the pics dont see it anymore)

Maybe noticed the ban policy

I was prepared to bite for £689 on a Nitro+ from OcUK a day or so ago... what a sad state of affairs we all now live in!

I got stung by one earlier in this week, sad times but been with a GTX 960 for way too long.

I was really looking for a 6800xt or a 3080 but in today's market i think its more get what you can, and as i game at 1440p the 6700xt was a good upgrade from my 1070.

Indeed, sad times but for the price of a 6700XT... that's 6800, 3080 money.

I'm keeping an eye out for another batch of Sapphires to drop and i'll just bite the bullet.

I hesitated last time as my mindset was saying no, a few hours later all had disappeared.

6700 XT card are easier to come by thou.

What a pain in the rear this PCIE riser business is. I take the blame for flashing the MB BIOS yesterday morning, but the lesson I learned is that if I need to clear CMOS or flash the x570 BIOS (didn't need to, just FOMO) in future, I need a PCIE gen 3 card or older.

With the x570 MB defaulting to Auto, and having a gen 4 card like the 6700XT all sorts of weird stuff happened. Black screens, BIOS impossibly slow to use - as in takes 10 seconds to draw the screen. Even though I know all I have to do is navigate to the PCIE gen setting I gave up and pulled a RTX 2060 from my other machine to do it.

Spent an hour trying different ways of re-flashing the MB BIOS as it behaved like I had bricked it.

All fine now. Apart from this I love my NZXT H1 case.

Edit: I see all this is spelt out on the NZXT website's H1 FAQ, but still

 

[StephenJ]

is this due to the riser being a pcie gen 3 ?

 

[NutritioN]

Yep. Once you know, you know. Didn't know when I nabbed this x570 (gen 4) board secondhand, so troubleshooting a new GPU was difficult.

HZ30WiE V2.0 10-Bit 30" LED Widescreen Professional Monitor

Anyone else getting this?
Display is absolutely fine in Windows and gaming
Any thoughts please?
Have tried different displayports,no change.hdmi port is used for my VR headset

 

[NutritioN]

Mine is garbled too, tried both cables. Having to live with it.

 

[ANDARIAL]

Good in a way....At least it is not just me
Is this a well known issue?Did not see anything when i googled

 

[NutritioN]

Same, couldn't find anything!

 

[Harlequin]

All google problems of this issue point to this very thread so far?

Can other 6700xt owners check this



Do you only have that custom brightness option now instead of sharpness etc like it used to. If your the same as me, maybe submit a bug report using the button for it at top of drivers next to question mark.

 

[ANDARIAL]

@Skeeter yeah get the same on latest software.Did not notice what it was like on previous sorry

 

[Moeks]

Ditto, just the Custom Brightness Slider showing for my 6700XT

 

[roddypoddy]

Same here.

It is interesting. Since I don't see a "min voltage" option and just "Voltage" in Wattman, I assume it's a bios mod or some tool I haven't heard of?

In one of his replies he says he did it via the MorePowerTool.
