As a new i5 10600+ B460i owner, just brought commonly available 3200Mhz DDR4, I was wondering should I exchange B460i to Z490 (another RM7xx more) to gain extra FPS. Until i had following results in my existing rig 9700K+Z390+3200MHZ XMP Trident Z

Here is my test result and concluded stick with B460i+i5 10600+3200Mhz+run 2666Mhz in BIOS (max ram speed capped at 2666Mhz because of limitation by B460+i5)

As owner, I had tested it can do:
1. 144Hz+HDR+YCbCr4:4:2+G-Sync Compatible+10bit+DP1.4 cable = Yes
2. 120Hz+HDR+YCbCr4:4:4+G-Sync Compatible+10bit+DP1.4 cable = Yes
3. 144Hz+HDR+YCbCr4:4:4+G-Sync Compatible+10bit+DP1.4 cable = No

My setting is 144Hz+HDR+YCbCr4:4:4+G-Sync Compatible+8bit+DP1.4 cable

It uses the same panel as Gigabyte Aorus FI27Q (but with -P, 144Hz+HDR+YCbCr4:4:4+G-Sync Compatible+10bit+DP1.4 cable seem possible with their claimed HBR3 capability)

From BenQ customer support asking why cannot do video output with 144Hz+HDR+YCbCr4:4:4+G-Sync Compatible+10bit+DP1.4 cable. Since this model is max at HBR2. DP1.4 input specification in their website is falsified infor given. It is actually a DP1.2

Pro:
1. Astonished built in monitor speaker and woofer, best in industry!
2. HDRi really help in reduce over-exposure of bright game screen.

Cons:
1. Come on BenQ, since this model is targeted for gamer too, why not include a height adjustable stand even without swivel is fine. As compensation, I had to buy extra monitor arm to make my desk look cleaner.
2. Upcoming model should include HDR600 (min 10bit panel required for HDR600) with HBR3+DP 1.4 port.
