    Question Purchased "refurbished" Palit rtx 4090 few days ago but performing poorly...

    Ha I didn't think my i9 9900k would bottleneck my GPU as it's been a top notch CPU not so long ago. Makes sense though. Now I've downloaded MSI Afterburner and had the OC-Checker run and OC my 4090 automatically so I gained a bit more performance in the 3DMark benchmark I did before. I'm a...
