[GhostR1d3r]

Hello everybody 😀

I have a full ROG computer Rampage VI Apex, Core i9 7900x delid and direct die with a ROG Strix RTX 3080 TI OC with 2 custom watercooling loop.

I play game with nvidia surround with 3 ROG swift PG278Q so a resolution 7850x1440

It's necessary to bought another CPU like a Core i9 10900x or 10980XE if i bought a rtx 4080 or 4090 or change motherboard etc......

Thanks for your help 😁

Hi Nate,

So i have good news. I bought today, because an excellent opportunity an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Extreme with a Core i9 14900KF and a ASUS ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH to replace my old x299 platform, i'm just going to keep my RTX 3080 Ti, i'm very tired to have this x299, so it's the time for me to change and waiting next year to change for z890 and rtx5xxx if it's necessary.

I'm going to see for the RAM i'm going to bought, i think Corsair Dominator Titanium and Thursday i'm going to receive my first PG27AQDM and have my own opinion like you say to me. If for me it's good, i go directly to do a surround with this monitor.

i tell you soon 😁 have a nice day

Great, I'm looking forward to hearing how you like the ROG Swift PG27AQDM.

Be sure to update the firmware of the PG27AQDM to MCM106.

Hello Nate 😀

i receive my first PG27AQDM and io it's a wonderful monitor, i'm very happy. It's absolutly perfect for me, no issue or problem with the texte on Mozilla, Windows or software 😍😍😍

So i tried the second with .exe and firmware update successfully and i have the lastest firmware but i had this problem yesterday (see the pic).

Monday i received my 2 others PG27AQDM and i'm going to test them on NVidia Surround in game. I'm going to registered them on my Asus account.

For the moment i don't have this problem with my monitor. I have disconnected my 2 PG278Q all USB devices connected on the hub and on the PG27AQDM too.

I have juste my PG27AQDM and my ASUS ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH and i have no issues for the moment 😃

PS: i have a question about choice of memory for my 790 motherboard, i must do a new post ?

[Nate152]

I got that image too when updating the firmware.

Open the OSD with the button behind the ROG Logo, go to System Setup, go all the way down until you come to All Reset and select Yes.

Should be good to go after doing this.

You'd get more responses if you started a new thread about memory for your motherboard. My suggestion would be, if you're just gaming, something like 32GB (2x16GB) 7000MHz should be doable without much fuss. The cpu's memory controller plays a big role, the 14900k and 14900ks will have the strongest memory controller.

ok thank you Nate. So i reset like you say to me and i'm going to see if it's okay.

I open a new thread on Hardware and build advice for my memory ?

I forget, last week you put a kudos on one of my post in this thread what is it ?

[Nate152]

You're welcome

Yeah it should be good to go. 

Hardware & Build Advice is the perfect section to ask about memory.

If I gave you a kudo, it means I praised your post.

So, the PG27AQDM comes with the default color temp of 6500K. I bumped mine up to 7500k, this made web pages look whiter to me.

If you happen to try this, which one do you prefer?

This is just one of the many features that helps get that perfect picture.

Ok thank you very much for your help Nate 😁

I think i'm going to open a new thread for my memory and other one to help to configure my 3 PG27AQDM or we can do that is this thread ?
