    How many of you actually use ray tracing in the games you play?

    I always turn up RT settings to the max. I'll even use mods to increase RT quality if available. If I want extra FPS I use DLSS.

    Half Life 2 Path Tracing Mod Highly Praised for Adding Extra Visual Flair

    I'm loving these RT mods for older games. I've had more fun with them the past few years than most modern games.

    Cablemod 90° and 180° adapters now for sale/pre-order.

    Mine also came in last week and I am very pleased with it! Both sides of it were easy to plug in and it makes my build look much cleaner. Here is what it looked like before getting the CableMod adapter and cable:

    Why OLED for PC use?

    OLEDs use the sample and hold method of refreshing their picture by default so they'll still have motion blur from that and won't match a CRT in terms of motion clarity. The LG OLEDs from C8 on have black frame insertion but the refresh rate that it works at depends on the model.

    Why OLED for PC use?

    So far I've had to RMA two Alienware QD-OLEDs for burn-in. Both were burned in from having two browser windows side-by-side burning in the middle scroll bar and URL bar. I noticed the burn-in on the first one after about two months and the second one started to burn-in almost immediately but I...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    I checked mine last night and it looks similar to yours. I noticed it had a slight gap and the retention clip on the adapter wasn't fully clipped. I tried to push it in more but it wouldn't budge. Then I tried to reseat it and still couldn't get it to go in further. I didn't want to push it any...

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    When I installed my 4090 FE this past weekend I had to really bend the adapter to get it to fit in my case with the side panel on like many others. Even then my side panel may be touching the cable just a little bit. The card is incredible but the included adapter and connector placement on it...

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    Yeah, that worked in my case. Mine was very tilted though so yours being only slightly tilted could be something else. Just don't apply too much force to be safe.

    Same thing happened with my replacement unit. It was greatly tilted toward one side but I was able to adjust it. It took a little bit of force like it was stuck but eventually it loosened and I could tilt it back.

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    My replacement monitor arrived today. It came packaged in a standard brown Dell box. Unfortunately it wasn't packaged well due to the inner padding being too thick for the box itself so it bulged out in the center and broke the tape in that area. The monitor didn't have the bubble wrap taped...

    They didn't mention me having a priority. I wouldn't be surprised if my due date slips past June 30th. Hopefully not but we'll see.

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    My replacement is now back ordered until June 30th. Not too surprised, just have to wait a bit longer.

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    They told me 2-3 weeks for my replacement. It's about to hit the two week mark. I have my doubts I'll get it any time soon.

    There is a newer firmware version in ones that were recently shipped: https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/AW3423DW-Pixel-Auto-Warning-Message-missing/td-p/8198985 I'll report back with the firmware version that comes with my replacement whenever it gets here.
