Congratulations!! And a very nice setup too
How's the monitor gone down?
Why even make it an option then and not just have at at 160 from the factory?
At a guess, it may not be guaranteed, or it may potentially cause some compatibility issues or worsen some elements of performance.
You lose some features:
DP (Max. Resolution at Hz)3440x1440 10bit(RGB444) at 144Hz,
3440 x 1440 8bit(RGB444) at 160Hz(O/C),
3440 x 1440 10bit(YUV422) at 160Hz(O/C)
e.g. RGB444 10 bit colour. Apparently.
So I guess it's offered as "you can probably use this, but X people might not want to" (or be able to(?)).
@Daso Crazy times at work have been keeping me away from the forums for a couple weeks but I wanted to pop in and say congrats on the finished build! It looks great, and it sounds like you're already getting great performance out of it. Glad to hear it's as quiet as you wanted as well!
Is it not waking from sleep at all, or is that it that you get no video output from waking from sleep but the thing still seems to stir into some kind of life?
Apparently pressing Win+Ctrl+Shift+B restarts your graphics driver. Could be worth seeing if that causes the thing to wake up. If not then it could be a monitor issue rather than a GPU/Windows/driver issue. Perhaps it's a known 'thing' and there's a monitor firmware update to address it.
