I have a 8700k but that's not the issue. As I said, again, if I activate FSR or lower resolution, my GPU lowers it's frequency and consumption and my CPU is not breaking a sweat regardless.

I have seen other people complain that some driver caused this issue, I need to know if there is a setting or something I can do. I recently did a clean install of my GPU drivers also, so there should be almost 0 issues with my system rather than something AMD has done. This is the situation: I...

Simple question, since I am already using (or at least have reserved) 28 GB of committed memory, meaning RAM+pagefiles I assume, if I get another dual channel RAM sticks to get to 32 GB (I have 16), shouldn't I be removing the middle man and make my entire system run faster?

Wrong. A CPU and usually motherboard and RAM too, are harder to replace and cost more, unless you buy a TI and even then, the TI is easier to upgrade than a CPU/motherboard/RAM. I'd rather recommend a strong CPU and motherboard and buy a cheaper GPU, unless you really want to see huge...

Even reviewers with all the CPUs and GPUs in the world still use the 9900k in reviews, no matter how much they said "Intel is dead, AMD killed them, omg AMD so good", because of better performance. And as I said many times, there is a reason Intel didn't manage to upgrade their technology to...

Yes it will. Should you still buy it? If you are upgrading from something older than a 780 and you have a good offer for it? Of course you should. But in the future you may have to upgrade your motherboard, CPU and RAM since the old parts won't be compatible with the new ones. And still...

https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/27d16db41 The only big difference I see is that the 59G has display port and has a slightly higher consumption. AOC is usually a cheap monitor but recently they have shown to be pretty decent quality. The AOC seems to have 10% horrible...

How did you even notice they are using your GPU? Task manager only shows CPU usage. Malwarebytes is free and probably the best malware scanner out there, just so you know for future references. Also your scary long weird executable is just the on-screen keyboard...

He's paying up to double for a 2080ti than I paid for my 1080ti, depending on the country. Why are you arguing over if he should pay a little more for 9900k or the 9700k?? CPUs get replaced much much much slower than GPUs unless you're full of money and/or slightly stupid. Therefore the 9900k is...

You don't really do much on your PC from what you're telling us. So that means an i5 should be enough also. Do you work on your PC or anything else? Cause it seems to me you are wasting money for something you will never use unless you suddenly find a game you like. I mean theoretically the...

It's a very new release. If you don't have the same issues on other modern titles, I suggest you actually talk to their support and send them the screenshots. Also they will be able to tell you if your CPU is not enough, since they know best (generally but not as a rule, so they may say you need...

Did you place your card in properly. My first ever solution on this site was the fact that someone didn't push in their GPU all the way. You need to make sure your motherboard/PC sits properly down and is well supported, so that your GPU has to come from above it and into the soket. Then place...

Slow HDD can cause stuttering if the game needs to load data from the drive while playing. I can vouch for that on my new laptop which I use with an external HDD that has 80-120 MBps. While my Desktop has a WD Black that can run up to 240 MBps when it's half full. But as mentioned above...

You should cap them at 144 with Vsync actually. Or even try Nvidia's Fast Sync in the control panel. To run more than 1080p means you need a HDMI or DP cable also. So even if it was able to run higher, you may need a new cable unless you already use that. Normally if you have the latest display...

What is the refresh rate of your monitor? Just lock your frames with Vsync or Gsync if you have the option. Usually helps so you don't waste hardware juice on frames you "don't really get to see". I mean in most games you still see it moving faster and better, more fluid. But you still have a...

I doubt you will get 240 fps, even with that system. Also if fps matter the most and 1080p, you should look into Intel more than AMD. Even if it's a i5 as long as it has a K at the end, to overclock. Especially if prices are as high on the new Ryzen, the only ones that equal the Intel are the...

Maybe you should take your system to a specialist to FIX it and see what they have to say. You will pay like 20-40 euro or so, depending on what they have to do. It's still cheaper than buying new motherboards, RAM, CPU over and over until you find out what is and isn't burned. Unless you are ok...

Did you install everything on the page of your motherboard? People forget to install those things always. I mean besides the VGA driver for your CPU, you don't really need that. Otherwise I have to say, playing on a 2080ti at 1080p will use up your CPU more than your GPU unless you use Vsync...

My keyboard is getting old but works perfectly fine. The only issue is the light on my keys is dying, the light on the top that signals stuff like caps lock, still works at full power, the light on my keys is very dim to the point I can't see them anymore even at night. And yes I checked the...

If the card is properly placed and all the drivers are up to date and the card isn't damaged, it is possible. You could try checking with GPUz if your card gets enough power

OC can give you a boost in performance. But usually not more than 10% For example if you have a game running at 50 fps, you can maybe get 53-55 fps instead if you are lucky. But your components will also heat up more and make more noise.

That's the additional +2 pins some cards require for powering up. It's called a 6+2 connector since you can use either 6 or 8 depending on how many you need.

I don't know if the Ray tracing bonus is worth the cost, I am waiting for the new generation since I won't pay half the price for RT and the rest for the card. Secondly you may not need a water cooler for a good Nvidia card, I am still using air cooling and have been on all Ti cards, even...

Do not get a new system, you do not have the budget and your CPU is still decent. You will get a huge boost in performance from the card alone. I would only make one modification and go for a EVGA PSU instead. More reliable, more warranty. But also maybe get a 650W just to be sure in the future...

The 1080 is around 10% better. Just make sure it's used and not broken or something. Tho you should switch from DVI-D sooner or later. You should look into the 2060 Super also while you are purchasing, idk the prices but they are supposedly better than the old non-super cards.

DVI is weaker than a HDMI as far as I know. The only upgrade you can do is higher HDMI (like 2.0) types or DP (display port). But generally HDMI 2.0 should run 144 hz even at 1440p.

If you have issues with HIGHER files, the issue might be the HDD and not the other components. Try getting a SSD. Samsung might be my first pick since they provide quality and good speeds. Or just get a WD Black HDD if you want more storage but to have decent performance. I think the higher...

There is nothing to be hesitant if the card fits in the slot. The only issue is that you will lose graphical power, to put it simply and not go into detail. For example using a 2.0 instead of a 3.0 might cost you up to 20% performance overall. So if you don't want to upgrade your motherboard...

Please put your PC back on horizontal plane so the GPU doesn't get drawn down by gravity. It may be that your GPU is not well fitted in and someone just now reported this issue. Make sure the card is in properly and fully. Even without the screws you shouldn't be able to move it AT ALL, unless...

for 15$ you can buy the DP or HDMI cable of your future card, since you won't get a graphics card that cheap, unless it's broken or someone is really bored with having it. Even the costs of transporting said card will cost you more.

For just watching videos that build should be overkill and work perfectly fine. I could watch 4K even with my older 980ti or even with my 780. Just make sure you use a good player. KMPlayer has the best audio and general settings but you need to bypass the commercials and stuff which you can...

Just reading your reply hurt me. Please. Always make sure the card is in all the way and make sure it doesn't move at all (while the case/motherboard is still placed horizontally). Now the other issue, maybe you already damaged your card beyond help by not keeping it properly fixed. OR you had...

I don't think it's normal for a 1080ti to give up in 3 years or less. Mine is close to 3 years and 0 issues. If indeed you also had 0 issues and just reinstalled, it's 99% a software issue unless you did anything else stupid. Like unplug your PC while powered on or had serious crashes, electric...

Do you also run the exact identical settings as they are? A simple Antialiasing on versus off, could mean 100 fps. Ultra settings vs medium. Also check that you don't have any vsync or monitor technologies enabled, either in the game or in your Nvidia settings on desktop, same place where you...

Mark it as solved if that's the case, people waste time reading all the comments just to see the issue is resolved.

The 2300x has only 4 cores and 4 threads. Pretty bad for recording and streaming. Also the gaming performance of the 1700x seems to be a little bit over 20% Try getting a better CPU, tho I can barely recommend any other below the 1700x for gaming and recording. The difference in workloads even...

Not going to bother reading all the comments since your answer is very simple. And I didn't even need to find the video to tell you what it is. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYQoPi9j1tE View: https://youtu.be/8CSP-CtEzXw?t=217 GTA 5 is very demanding and doesn't really provide a lot...

We do not know what your PC has in it, so we can't tell you. Depends on many factors, from PSU, motherboard, CPU and GPU (if you want one or both to OC). And generally if they are Overclockable from factory, you will do minimum to no damage to your system, unless you put your voltage way above...

Wrong. You got it the other way around. It's at 4K that CPUs don't really matter. I've seen several AMD biased reviews where the CPUs run at "base clocks" or hell one guy was dumb enough to force both CPUs at 4 Ghz (thus making the Intel weaker basically) since people "asked for this?" (umm...

I wouldn't take the AMD bait so easily, a reviewer already burnt one chip and he barely did anything with it. IF you don't plan on doing any intense workloads that require you to finish them super fast, the Ryzen is a horrible choice in any possible way. Besides it being more expensive than even...
