dammitall...i was ready to install my 6600 but its gotta wait a bit longer....
My first problem was i have an oldass monitor with a DVI output but i had solved that with a unused DVI > DP adapter i had lying around work.
IN hindsight it might have been a better idea to get a new monitor first before a GFX card.....
I have been looking at some models but my specific criteria had been 27" and 144hz but i havent found one with that combination at a price i liked yet....plus i have been flip flopping whether to go ultrawide 34" with 144hz which i was set on for awhile before i changed my mind and thought a single 27" would be better.....
Anyways now i was ready to plug this bad boy in and I find out my wifi card is in the way...... Its already in the furthest slot away from the GPU slot so i cant do anything about it. This new 6600 is a bit taller than the R9 290 i have (but its also shorter and lighter). The R9 JUST clears the wifi card taking up 2 slots but the 6600 wont as it takes up a little more than 2 slots.
My PC isnt close to any ethernet ports nor do i have a ethernet cable long enough to reach.
Gah more hindsight that i should have gotten a USB wifi adapter rather than going the internal PCI-E route way back when i bought it.
bleh....theres always something......
I recommend you dell s2721dgf. I have it for some time.Make sure to install the monitor calibration profile from dell site otherwise the image sucks.Or calibrate yourself if you have oportunity.
If you buy a monitor like above with 1.07 bilion colors and 10bit make sure in amd custom color you activate "Custom color" BUT deactivate "color temperature control"
