Computer Affairs / Re: Help me buy a computer for...

Last post by Threviel - Today at 02:24:15 AM

A cheap display with G-Sync and a curvature is nigh impossible to find. I think Philips Evnia 5000 32M2C5501 32" is the best compromise right now: https://elektronikspecialisten.se/produkter/datorer-kringutrustning/skarmar-monitorer/gamingskarmar/philips-evnia-5000-32m2c5501-32-curved-gamingskarm?pjclid=cf656f55-2013-4d7a-bc00-aabf9235e9d6_9df79987d981499f

The budget is hard, so of the display goes above 4000 SEK that will have to come out of the computer, and the computer I've found seems, to me at least, to be very good bang for the buck.

If I understand what G-Sync does it seems quite important for low end systems, since it seems to make the GPU and display lag in the same frequency, and low-end GPU should lag more than high-end stuff.

Quote from: Threviel on December 25, 2025, 06:18:20 AMThanks. The kid wants a curved screen which seems like a sensible future proof choice. Is that a problem? I was thinking this https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/391493-AOC-CU34G4-34-VA-3440-x-1440-180-Hz-0-5ms-2xHDMI-DP
You want to buy a monitor that supports only AMD Freesync with an Nvidia GPU that only offers G-Sync. That technology will not be supported for your monitor.
Also, not too sure about the brand. And the technology (VA), for gaming. IPS is better. OLED is freaking expensive.

Some comments here:

Not the exact same model, but review of a similar model by the same brand:

I dislike ultra wide monitors for gaming, they all seem buggy, but if it's what your son wants, try looking at these:
Dell AW3423DWF
Dell AW3425DWM (Budget, last resort)
Samsung Odissey G8 34".

Ideally, I'd go for a curved 32".
This site is excellent for reviews of electronics:

Thank you foor taking the time.

I did not know about that Freesync/G-Sync thing. Dell AW3423DWF is not available in Sweden and Dell AW3425DWM seems to only be Freesync. G-Sync seems to be a premium thing, the cheaper displays have Freesync it seems. How important is it? Are "VRR, FreeSync Premium, Adaptive-Sync" good enough?

I think I have decided on https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/383860-ASUS-GeForce-RTX-5060TI-Dual-OC-16GB as that seems to be the best bang for the buck of the computers I've been able to find. The second best is this: https://www.komplett.se/product/1325110/gaming/gamingdator/gamingdator-stationar/komplett-pc-advanced-gaming-a150-rgb?queryid=51353521a430de22887fe1a556c87bea&sort=None#custom-parts-list which has less RAM and an inferior GPU.

Also, WTF is this? "AMD FreeSync, AMD FreeSync 2, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, AMD FreeSync Premium, VRR, FreeSync Premium, Adaptive-Sync". It's a god damn jungle out there, no wonder I went Mac.
