thanks, it's looking better now. Sometimes I plug a 23" 1080p 144hz screen instead of this one so maybe i'll switch back to Max, to make sure theres no problem... Minor thing
That's a sweet little IvyBridge setup you have there with Thunderbolt and 4K Graphics
Yes I have very good ivy bridge build ! I built it back in 2013 for pretty cheap, from second hand parts. I really wanted Thunderbolt because it was the new thing and it felt very future proof. Gave it good power with high end power supply, and good air cooling from Noctua, for future proofing again.
Over the years I made it a little better, with LG IPS 4K display, boosting it to 32GB of RAM, upgrading to an RX 580, replacing the system's SATA SSDs (500GB for Windows and 1TB for macOS), adding a pair of M-Audio monitoring speakers... And getting 36TB of Thunderbolt storage (!)
Since I'm a video maker, I'm always in war with storage space, and, when I got the chance to buy 3x 12TB Pegasus R6 for cheap, from a large production company renewing its system to 10gbe NAS, I jumped on the opportunity. For video editing in Prores, or 4K cinemaDNG raw, you need both speed and large storage space... Having access to 30TB of data in RAID5 at over 600MB/sec is bonkers even today. Tthunderbolt is indeed future proof
I'll probably upgrade to a Mac with the next gen Apple Silicone some time in 2022, but I'm not in a hurry thanks to this Big Sur upgrade ;-)
