Not unless I select 240Hz on the monitor first, and as soon as I do that. Black Screen :( Only thing I can do after the black screen is hard-reset and reset monitor to factory settings otherwise I boot up to an immediate black screen.

Tried with hotfix driver again and same issues, I don't really get a chance to select anything because when I go into the monitor settings and select 240Hz I get the black screen and my PC locks up. I have to reset monitor to default to get it to come back on (at 120Hz) :( booo.

The 30xx cards will probably fit in assuming your dimensions are correct (for example the Founders 3080 is reportedly 285mm x 112mm) - but to be sure you'd need to consider what card you're looking to get and compare its dimensions as non founders cards WILL be different sizes.

Sounds like an issue with the track pad, I have a similar monitor and use a mouse and don't have that problem. Do you have the same issue if you use the mouse?

I really don't think and wouldn't expect that we would get the code till release day (or close to release day). In any pre-orders before I've never received a code prior to release. Steam (and maybe others) have allowed pre-orders which add it to your library (and just not let you install it...

Hi @ArchiA I've moved your post to a more relevant section of the forum. I'm not sure about a £550 system, maybe someone else can comment but if you can stretch to around £800 (appreciate its quite a hike) there are some good examples here...

I tried it with the hotfix driver and it just gave me a black screen same as the other drivers. Using DDU between to clean install each update so no conflicts there. Will try again tomorrow evening, away from the computer now - cheers for the assistance 👍👍 will get there eventually I’m sure!

So I hadn't enabled 240Hz on the monitor. But tried that and.. sadly.. black screen still :( Had to reset the monitor to get it to turn back on :( boo woe is me. Super chuffed (and a little jealous) that you've got it to work @Jamie85 ;)

So that's a shame, I rolled the drivers back but I can't even select 240Hz now :( (it was there with the later drivers) But I also notice there's an update as of today!

Call me a fanboy if you like but, who's to say 'team red's' launch will be any better? I do hope it is though, because nVidia's 3xxx launch was a bit of a shambles and more competition is just a good thing for consumers in general! No idea when the cards will be available for pre-order but from...

@SAMWAC what is your budget? what is the PC for? How much did the above spec come too? Can you include the configurable link? See below for guidance. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/how-to-post-you-specification-to-the-forum-check-this-spec.73718/

@BenC if its a hardware issue there won't be much anyone other than PCS can do (appreciate you know that already :)) - Maybe others here would be more willing but I'd be hesitant to suggest much to try really - Does the power plug/socket connection seem solid still or is there excessive play...

@iWilpowerr If I started having intermittent issues like this I'd probably try a windows refresh then see if the issues continued. If it was the windows update, there's a reasonable chance this might be the case (especially if you just upgraded windows rather than doing a clean install) What...

@maximees Can you please post the full spec including configurable link and tell us your budget/etc. See below for some guidance. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/how-to-post-you-specification-to-the-forum-check-this-spec.73718/

This is getting tried tonight!!
