Monitor tech has been upgrading at a slower pace than everything else, but we should see all the other major hardware updated before the end of the year. Video cards from both sides, processors from AMD.

A little patience will give you peace of mind later that you made wise choices this go around. I'm definitely upgrading my video card and monitor, but will wait until early next year when all the hype calms down.

Got my 34'' AOC today. I really like the super wide more than 2 x 24'' for sure. Will take a bit to get used to but gaming on it felt great. I do however need them to fkn release the new GPUs soon as my 1070 GTX did not really like the new screen and the frames dipped quite a lot, at least if I run 1440p. Well I get 60+ fps on the games I play besides HZD which dropped down to 40 fps at 1440p.
Any good suggestions on software to make "zones"? So I can quickly setup 2 programs side by side and not have to fiddle with the size of them every time.
edit: Found out Win10 had that feature allready. Drag program to the right/left.

As far as gaming goes. These have been game changing for me:
1. Going from 60 to 120Hz. This by far has changed gaming for me. Can't go back.
2. Gsync/Freesync. Can't go back.
3. Super ultra-wide. I can see me getting a non ultra-wide monitor, BUT I would be kicking and screaming.

Read the first one, was going to reply how you do the second, read the second. Damnit Brahma!
I totally could just buy one today, but honestly I'm waiting for a few things at this point.
1. How good are the new NVidia cards? If I get a 3090ti or whatever they name it, how many pixels can it push?
2. Will something like 4k 144hz actually be viable?
3. Are we going to get better monitor tech? I feel like it kind of lags behind T.V.'s, but maybe with all the shit going on this year that has pushed more work from home type stuff, we see more motivation to do things in the monitor space

All my personal speculation from articles I've read:
1. A 3090 supposedly 25-30% faster than a 2080ti. I haven't seen anything on 3090ti. Hell that would be the new Titan X probably. What will that run? 2500-3000 bucks?
2. I'd still say yes. Given that a lets say a 2080ti @4K on lets say Tomb Raider or games of that ilk are about 65-80FPS. So maybe a no on Cyberpunk? But driving games, and older games? Yeah, could be. Clearly MOBA's and RTS's will run at 4K @144Hz.
3. 2021 new monitor tech? I personally don't think so. They need to get Oled's down to a reasonable size IMO. Like 43" and below. I don't remember reading anything on that for 2021.

Micron Confirms RTX 3090, Will Have Over 1TBps GDDR6X Bandwidth
Flagship is almost ready to set sail
Also - screen real estate to me is more necessary than refresh speed. Thats likely why im going to aim for the 38 inch LG

Ya, it's looking pretty likely the 3090 will be a beast and $1500+ and the 3080 will be quite good as well and $1000+. Hope I'm wrong, but I guess if the 3080 is 25%+ > 2080TI.... ah who am I kidding, a grand on a video card seems fucking retarded. Hoping the 3080 will come in around the 2080 pricing but not holding my breath.

I see it this way. Resolutions aren't going up. The ultra wide-screen that I want (Samsung G9) will probably be 90+ FPS with a 3080 @5120x1440. I'm probably done with graphics cards for at least 4 years. And monitors till the G9 dies. I'm OK with spending the loot knowing I'm done for years.
