I have no idea how or why they declare them as in stock!

I'm starting to think I've got more chance of getting a 3080 now

Ha! Both the G9 and 3080's are unicorns right now

I'm going to build a pc with a g9 powered by a 3080.

I've booked a day off work in 2022 to do it.

Well ive kept my rainforest order. I'm gonna order from whoever gets them in first though ultimately - and cancel rainforest if i need to.

Same here mate. I've tweeted Chris Whitty and asked if he thinks the vaccine will beat my g9 order.

Hi, I was one of the first to order this monitor and cancel it due to the problems. I have noticed that most websites even Currys are showing stock of 10 or more. My question is does this monitor still have major problems ie: flickering. If its fine then I may purchase it. Purchased an Acer Predator X34P in July but am willing to sell it and replace with the Samsung. Thank you for your help.

Finally gave up on a G9 due to the stock and quality issues.

Went for an LG38GN instead - ordered and arrived within 24 hours and very pleased so far.

Might look at the G9 or Samsung equivalent in a few years.

I forgot to mention I am thinking of ordering the Samsung Odyssey G7 32 inch if all is well.

It’s amazing how all this stuff is just mass produced out of China and made mostly from plastic, yet so hard to just buy. In the case of the G9 it’s just incompetence and in the case of the 3080 it’s pure sales strategy!

They both just cancel themselves out after a while and people just give up and don’t upgrade.

I hope AMD and the new consoles can even the score dramatically and shift the power back to the consumer.

What’s the quality like on a high end LG? Some reviews say it’s bad. Some reviewers say it’s good. Hard to judge.

Hi guys, been trying to find out whether my G7 is FA01 or FA02 but I can't find it anywhere.

Here's a picture of the numbers where, according to what I read, FA model should be:

The rainforest has just emailed me. It's coming either tomorrow or Saturday. So stock of the g9 is arriving at the rainforest.

Be better of playing Russian Roulette, you at least stand a better chance of coming out a winner!

Not sure if this has been spoken about before but my 32 G7 is showing up in Nvidia control panel as not certifed as G-SYNC compatible. Anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

On latest Drivers

Is 1007 giving you issues?

I am having stuttering issues when playing consoles games with friends. Wondered if it was 1007, but it isn't.

Third time lucky for me. I can feel it's going to be good.

Seems to have only popped up on the latest drivers weirdly. Still says its certified on their website though and Gsync still works the same as it always has, at least on my end.

Oooo no no no. This one is going to be dead pixel free. Bezel bleed free. Popping free. But dropped from a yodel to truck.

Out of curiosity on the nvidia control panel under g sync have you got the option ticked or unticked where it says "3. Enable settings for the selected display model" ? Does leaving it unticked still enable gsync?
