I’ve got one these doo hickeys. It was way cheaper when I bought it but it’s really good.
Used it to clean up a very dirty system that I turned into a server. Give my rigs a once over with it every few months. It’s awesome on keyboards too.

I have this exact model, the only downside is the spare nozzle storage is ******ed.

I couldn't find a quick video that wasn't a long talking head but the TLDR is 3 new cards coming:
4080 Super
4070 Ti Super
4070 Super
They're superseding the non-super varients and NVIDIA's recommended pricing is actually cheaper. So who knows if that translates into real world prices. If you're hunting for an upgrade and don't want a Super then current non-super stock is probably going to get decent discounts as the retailers try to clear them.

Yeah I have the same one, although I reckon it was under another name. The location for the spare nozzle is garbage but the unit itself works well.I’ve got one these doo hickeys. It was way cheaper when I bought it but it’s really good.

You made me look up the prices and that is definitely a possibility. I think I saw the 4080 Super has an MSRP $200US less than the OG 4080 and that brings it inline with the 7900xtx.
The price cuts must have already started though because recently I looked up the 4090 and 4080 recently out of curiosity and couldn't believe the 4080 was still well over $2000 AUD regardless of brand which made me think I got a really good deal on the Strix OC when I did. Now they're around $2k and many even sub $2k. The 4080 hasn't been popular as it seems to have been priced to upsell to the 4090 so if the 4080 Super becomes a more attractive sell it might even pull back those 4090 prices a bit.

Neo 57 arrived today. Worth the hassle in the end.
Fired it up straight out of the box and already like this;

All those new 32" 4K QD-OLEDs being shown off at CES look awesome. Looks like I might be in for a new screen this year and go full time 4K.
I got the 42" LG OLED last year, I highly, highly recommend having an OLED monitor for gaming.
I use it for work too, but am very conscious to change the screen regularly, probably overkill, but better to be safe.
However when gaming there really is no better.

I was looking at the Alienware 32" 4k this morning and it looks super appealing... And I definitely need to upgrade my setup this year.

The pricing will be interesting as everyone is using the same panel and there will be very little point of difference.

I haven’t kept abreast of CES this year but can’t see myself going 32” 4K, eventually would like a 34” ultrawide OLED 3440 x 1440p (probably run dual monitors with my 27” 1440p on top).

The trigger for me was getting a 32" 4K as a second monitor. I love my AW3423DW, probably the best expensive buy I've ever bought, but things feel so cramped on it now in comparison. There aren't much differences in the physical widths either. While 3440*1440 is also a sweet spot to drive for high end cards, with all the upscaling tech now then an internal 1080 res fits better and will look nicer at 4K than what any 21:9 achieves.

I figure my 6900xt will drive an ultrawide okay but doesn’t quite have the grunt for 4K.

Hey team, quick question!
The USB ports on the back of my monitor don't work, I'm setting up the home office for desktop and work laptop. Do I need to power up the USB b port to power the mouse and keyboard? Is there a USB a - USB b dual switch thingy that can toggle between the two?

If the monitor doesn't have a KVM switch then you'll need that USB B as a passthrough. Of course that can only connect to one computer at a time but there are USB switching devices out there you might be able to try.
It doesn't have a switch, I toggle between display port and HDMI. But I need to power that USB b port to power the USB a? Since they're not working atm
Thanks!

Your USB-B needs to be connected to your PC/Laptop/KVM. It's actually the only connection between you're peripherals that are in the monitor to your PC.
Also KVM's are horrendously expensive.But there are cheaper ones, but basically the back will look something like this.
Edit: hotlinking images to scorptech is borked.

If you want to go with KVm then they are obscene for the price.
Or if you want to do this
remotely you're into the world of ipkvm, which are even more expensive, but can be done with a pi ala
