A new monitor (excuse the crappy low light picture) Alienware 34" OLED

Reinstalled W10 this evening, really didn't enjoy using W11. How do I go about performing the HDR calibration? It appears the tool is only compatible with W11 :confused:

Yep, run that. Is it really as simple as just following the on screen prompts then clicking save/apply? Seemed pretty easy/straight forward. Don't know why, I expected it to be more complicated :D

Its here, my oh my! Absolutely delighted. Done a fresh install of W11, updated the firmware and enabled HDR - what else do I need to do to optimise this screen? Ive read about HDR calibration tools, adjusting brightness/contrast etc?

It sounds like they are continuing the bring out firmware revisions to address issues, which is good. Firmware upgradability is one of the main reasons I went for the DWF over the DW, despite the F's lack of G-SYNC. Was tempted by the Samsung but everywhere I turn I hear about poor after sales...

Purchased the AW32DWF yesterday, managed to get it for £790 which is slightly more than Id initially budgeted for a new screen. Upgrading from a 2018 Asus Swift TN Panel - hoping I wont be disappointed. ETA 15/06/23.

Well after much deliberation I've ended up buying the AW3423DWF - ideally I wanted to stick around the £600 mark but with a discount code I managed to get the AW for £790. Most tech reviewers favoured this monitor so just bit the bullet. Hopefully I wont regret my purchase...

In a similar situation, wondering why no ones mentioned the Samsung Odyssey G7 32" - which is what I was considering at £580ish. Gutted to have missed out on that AW deal, would have probably gone for that purely for the saving.

Left my PC idle for a little this evening, noticed the min core speeds dropping as low as 224 MHz. Is that normal or does that indicate that -30 on the curve might be a little too aggressive? I haven't picked up on any instability.

Great! Noticed a huge difference in Prime, temps didn't exceed mid 50's.

Do you mind sharing BIOS settings or a guide on how to do this? I've had a little look but PBO settings are a little overwhelming. Have you left everything AUTO but just applied a negative offset in the curve editor?

OK - think I've done it. Am I missing anything?

Thanks for that. Would you recommend pbo tuner or can I utilise the pbo tools in my bios? (Aorus Master x570).

Not that experienced with AMD tuning. Will do some research and have a play this evening.

Swapped my 5900x for a 5800x3d last night. Haven’t done any tinkering yet but idle temps look solid which seem to confirm good paste and seating of cpu block. Fired up cp2077 and gaming temps hovered around 53c. Will do some more testing later but not seeing a need to mess with PBO curves?

Went for the best air cooler to see how it performed before I decided whether to split it or not. The card is still air cooled and will probably stay that way now, seriously impressed. I've not seen it break 59c even after hours of constant gaming.

Personally I preferred the 6s. The 8s are great for rope climbs but I find the toe box really tight.

Runs well for a day 1 release - spec in sig. Frame generation just works. Played for an hour, really enjoyed so far.

I have a spare (new) 12 pin cable for this card if you want to give it a try before deciding to go the lengthy rma route? I can ship it out Monday FOC.

Some benchmarks from me; Pre DLSS3 Post DLSS3
