After bad standard DP-VGA adapter due to watch
, I changed the adapter to new StarTech DP to VGA/HDMI DP2VGAHD20, I got no any issues and... I can work 2560x1600@60Hz!!

My results - CPU i7-12700KF@5.2GHz and GPU RTX 4090 with GF 531.79 - HQ running Win 10

I had (have) a very similar set up to yours with a previous gen to you intel i5 3570k and GTX 980ti. I had a swap out of motherboard and CPU with a Asus Strix and i5 10600k , I had to replace Mobo due to a dumb mistake plugging into the USB 3.2 header it was really tight fit and I bent a couple of pins so now I've got a Gigabyte Z590. The thing is I'm still using my GTX 980ti and most of my desktop usage is for gaming and at 1080p its still very capable, for example Cyberpunk 2077 I can get well over 60FPS with most settings maxed out. Sadly this card is showing its age and now the fans are starting to fail and I can't get replacements. I'm using a home made cooling fix with 120mm case fans cable tied on. So it time I got a new GPU but the pricing, confusing line up and making comparisons is putting me off. I think reading your post has made me a little clearer I was looking at an RTX 4070 up to a 4090 , I was already thinking on the lines of an i5 10600 bottle necking in any case and the 4090 being overkill but then I look a the 4070ti £800 - 900 and thinking ahead would it be worth the expense for the 4090 , I m not likely to be doing  much 4k stuff tho. I was wondering how do you find the pairing of your 12700KF with the 4090 ? and what's is the story behind your CRT monitor out of curiosity, the pairing of old and new seems such a mismatch, you obviously have a good reason why, for a certain application perhaps ?

What's any issue of your GTX 980 Ti? Is fans only damaged? You should clean dust inside your tower in each between 1 and 6 month(s).

For RTX 4090, you get the very fast single-core CPU (eg: i7-12700KF or i5-13600KF or i9-13900KF or... - I advice you "KF" surfix because we don't care iGPU).

I stay "CRT" for monitor because any best thin monitor (OLED or LCD with LED backlight or...) has still motion blur issue at non-strobe despite the response time of 0.01~0.2ms (OLED only). It can't compete any CRT at low vertical frequency (less than 60~70Hz) despite the strobe of thin monitor. Because I want "50Hz" for watch live TV and 50fps videos.

I want RTX 4090 for use Octane Render (3D renderer) software and for play on hyperrealism games (eg: Cyberpunk 2077 with RT Overdrive...).

Is this better?

And are you happy with your power connector?

Looks like there is still a lot of trouble:

Be glad you didn't buy from Gigabyte:

Yes, I'm very happy because retail 12VHPWR adapter still works perfectly fine due to the fully plugged in since nov 11th, 2022.

Sorry for the dust but I have cleaned the dust in my ultra-tower.

But... if the retail adapter and 12VHPWR port will weirdly *explode* despite fully plugged in, I'll buy new adapter immediately before this explosion, ok?

No, I do NEVER have any PCB Gigabyte and I said you my "Zotac". lol
