Hey! My name’s Ben, I’m an avid PC builder and I have a general idea of how things work—but wanted to get a theoretical opinion on how my rig will perform if I was to purchase a 3080. I currently run a GTX 1080Ti, with 16gb of 2700MHz DDR4 Ram, and a i7-5820k OC’d go around 4.4GHz. Think it’s...

Hi guys! My name's Ben and I've been building PCs for around 6-8 years now and I've gotten pretty good at it. Here's the deal. A friend of mine got her parts, and naturally built her PC. However when booting up the system, although the motherboard lights up and receives power--when clicking the...

Hey guys, so I had a old pc, and it broke, so I recently upgraded my pc to one with a x99a sli plus motherboard, GTX 1080 FTW, 16gb (4x4gb) of ram, and a i7 5820k. However, my headphones weren;t working anymore, and I had issues with them on my phone as well. At this point in time, whenever I...

Hey guys! I just got my system up and running (16gb 2400 MHz DDR4, Gtx 1080 FTW, i7-5820k, 850w EVGA PSU, X99A SLI Plus) and I have been tinkering and overclocking and when my cpu is at 4.3 GHz and my gpu is +80 to the core and +150 to the memory, in Unigine Heaven I'm getting only around the...

No, it's in the GPU. ((Sorry for down voting your post, my fault. Was trying to figure out how to reply, and thought the arrow might expand something, or I could at least undo it. Sorry!)

I just finished building my rig, However when I plugged it in to my monitor and turned it on. Everything lit up, fans spinning, blue led on the board, as well as green lights for the power and reset buttons on the northerboard. But no display on the monitor, just the power button blinking. I...

"So a few things, the 4790k isn't gonna do much for you. For Witcher 3 hats actually really good performance, are you running a 144hz monitor? if not you won't even notice a difference in performance if you upgraded. Other than watching the fps meter do you notice these drops? I bet not. The...

@Rogue Leader Z97A Sli Krait Motherboard I5-4690k 8gb of pretty slow Mushkin ram 250gb SSD 1 TB HDD EVGA FTW GTX 1080 And yes at 1080p in the Witcher 3 I barely can get above 70 in towns, around 45-60 in Novigrad. So fps issues.

I have a new GTX 1080 and it made me realize in most of the games I love my i5 just isn't up to snuff. ((CPU usage 80-100%, GPU hits as low as 35% in Witcher 3/GTA V)) Would it be wise to upgrade to skylake or simply get a 4790k with a nzxt kraken and OC it to 4.6 GHz or higher.

I recently got my FTW 1080. I was and still am SUPER excited. I've over clocked it to +110 on the core and +250 on the memory with a 120% power limit and a +100 voltage to the core. But I've just booted up Hitman in 1080p ultra, and it's running 40-60 fps with some stuttering, so I switched to...
