OLED has stalled unfortunately, they have to decrease quality to attain high enough brightness for HDR.
That had a play in a large series of upgrades I did last winter which pretty much completed the 'cave's' 4k upgrade.
1. 2080TI-To escape SLI madness, finally have a fairly solid 4k gaming experience, and get a decent taste of RT and happy to say it's achieved all those goals. Spent more than I ever have on a card but don't regret even though I question my sanity at this point.
2. 65" Sony Z9D-It was my dream t.v. and finally got a good deal thru BB when they price matched Amazon during some significant price drops($2k) back in November. I was weighing getting something with OLED but happy I got this. In terms of brightness, colors, quality, it's blown away every other display I've ever owned. Only real limitations are 60hz, response time. Here's the review from
rtings. Turning off some stuff helped with motion blur issues and the response is pretty good. It's become the reference t.v. for movies and gaming has raised the bar to a whole new level. The Samsung's were a very, very, close second as I've read many good gaming reviews but we watch a lot of movies on this too. It got software updates adding DolbyVision thru streaming in the new year.

This madness from NewEgg which at the time was on sale and with a $200 gift card. Been patching hi-fi stereos to v.c.r's and computers since I was a kid and got into 6.1 systems around 10-13 years ago. Read the specs and decided this was much more than just a 'in a box' setup. High end could be a little better, remote is functional but not as complex as their normal ones, but otherwise it's been great. That's my review on it.
Back to topic. BTW I usually game with V-sync on. Sure it's a resource hog but screen tearing for me can wreck immersion just as much as low frames per second.
1. 2080TI: Rocks most newer games at highest settings at 4k/60hz with occasional dips. Older games are 70-90 fps. Using DLSS at 4k for RT has been a nice combo but depending on the game or section I might turn them off if the dips get too low. I've done some testing hooking up the 1440p monitor to it and it was almost overkill but for those really wanting 120-160 fps all the time, with highest settings, it will do it. It was also the first time I saw my 4930k @ 4.3GHZ really hitting 70-80% usage in gaming. I figure that's a good indicator that when I do finally have a card that can hit 120+ fps in 4k I'm going to need to upgrade this rig.
2. 1080TI: I got it for 1440p and that's pretty much what it's succeeded with. Rarely, if ever, see it go below 60 fps and usually averages 70-110+ for demanding games in 1440p. This is paired to a 2600k @ 4.2 Ghz and recently I'm seeing regular peaks in the 70-90% range with newer games. This is the rig I'm currently in early stages to upgrade to something AMD in the next 12-18 months.
3. Don't use these any more but have 2x 1080's which were my previous 4k solution with the 4930k. Problem was that their v-ram became an inhibiting factor for a number of games. I'd say they're happiest at a 1440p. They were replaced with the 2080TI. Edit: It's because of these that I've been recommending to people that have anything older or less than a 980 to get a 2080S for 1440p gaming. 8GB seems to be the sweet spot for vram at 1440p, it's more than needed for most games, and from there faster clocks and more cores really help.
4. Oddball rig that's mainly used for media management now. MSI GT80 Titan laptop w/ 2x 980m's. These 980m's are unusual critters in that they have 8GB DDR5 of vram. Slightly overclocked. The laptop came with a 60hz 1080p that is visually nice but for games that support SLI they easily go past. Using an active DP to dual DVI-D adapter I've got it connected to a 120hz Asus 27" 3d monitor. They will easily hold 50-60+ for even the most demanding games(SOTTR), Metro Exodus(had to watch a vid to learn how enable the bits for this one) with max settings. Witcher 3 will play 70-90 fps.
5. Honorable mention as my favorite past SLI. 2x G1 970's. Started at 1080p and crushed it holding 110-130fps back in the day. Moved up to 1440p and they dropped to 70-90 fps. Tried some 4k and with significant compromises held 35-45 fps. At one point paired with a SC 780 for PhysX and the few games that supported it managed 50-60 in 4k. For the money and performance these will likely always be the best deal I experienced. They were replaced with the 1080TI.
. Of course, my ultrawide is 2560x1080, so... That's the highest I need.
