    Don't think 125% will be enough for base clock 9900K

    Still using a shared heatsink isn't that problematic in cooling both K series and DGFF RTX?

    The cooling required for an actual non downclocked 9900K would be the bottleneck anyways. At this point I'm just happy to see new stuff. 119W TDP for a 9900K is laughable, but it can be useful for 8700K models.

    I'd be interested to see what the i7-9700k could do.

    I mean I would buy the freesync monitors but I heard that some of them don't have proper sharpness adjustment.

    thats the thing, GStink is proprietary and expensive, but QC and entry level features are miles ahead of FreeSync. for the latter ull need to do exrra research to determine which monitors are actually good and provide the full range of FreeSync features.

    Yeah that's the advantage with g-sync.


    Although I dislike the reduced number of input options, I have multiple consoles and would like to plug them all in to the monitor.

    Believe @Prema said that 75hz is using edp freesync and over 75hz is using a hardware buffer somewhere in the video processing hardware.

    The difference to me is that laptops did not see a huge premium increase when G-Sync appeared, unlike desktop monitors.

    That's because laptop panels are using VESA Adaptive Sync, like FreeSync does, and do not rely on proprietary GSync chips. And thus do not tack on the extra $100-500 cost for the GSync module.

    I'm curious to see if NV will somehow nerf this on laptop systems.
