    News Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB Goes on Sale

    Here, it's the 6800, although there are (seemingly) only a few in stock. Based on prices here (Europe but not EU), i'm assuming the 16gb 4060Ti will cost the same or nearly as 6800XT would. Unfortunately, 6800XTs went extinct few months ago here. When i first heard there would be a 16GB 4060Ti...

    Question Could my CPU cooler be incompatible with my CPU (troubleshooting details inside) ?

    The new fans, do they work on your PC? I'd just use them on the working pc and give your partner your old fan, the working one. Then from there maybe i would troubleshoot if i still deem it worthy. As a bonus, that way you could easily compare the bios settings on the both PCs.

    Question Monitors lose video signal while gaming, and GPU fans go to 100% ?

    Sure sounds like a driver issue. Check this video from JayzTwoCents, he explains how to do a full wipe of the driver before installing another one. He mentions disabling Fast Startup, Automatic Downloads in Windows and disconnecting the internet before (or was it after?) DDU. View...

    Question No video signal on new build ?

    Is everything else working or seems to be working (RGB on, fans spinning etc)? If that's the case, try using a different port (HDMI > DP or vice-versa), try another cable and make sure it's properly plugged in, also set the proper input in your monitor settings if needed, even try a different...

    Question Can I run 4 sticks of 8GB at 3600mhz on an MSI B550M Mortar Max WiFi board and a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU ?

    This is what your mobo says (look under specifications > detail) So, if the sticks are dual rank (2R), you might need to lower the speed. EDIT: Just to clarify, "1DPC" vs "2DPC" translates as "One... vs. Two Dimms Per Channel", respectively

    News "Very Few Are Interested" in RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GPUs, Nvidia AIB Sources Reportedly Say

    Like i said, i think the underlying context is there and obvious, therefore i don't agree it's a blanket statement, especially under an article about the 4060Ti 16GB release as opposed to 4060Ti 8GB, for 100$ more. Most people understand/accept this and they don't need 500 words to explain all...

    News "Very Few Are Interested" in RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GPUs, Nvidia AIB Sources Reportedly Say

    Saying "8GB is not enough" or "modern AAA games require more than 8GB vram" is not misleading because it is said within a certain context. The context is: 8GB is not enough to run modern AAA games at a level you would expect from a newly released GPU in 2023 at prices like these. Even Hardware...

    News "Very Few Are Interested" in RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GPUs, Nvidia AIB Sources Reportedly Say

    Funny, from my point of view it's the other way around: People who oppose or nitpick the "8GB is not enough" argument are the ones being misleading, whether intentionally or not. The argument is perfectly clear, no matter if it's flawlessly expressed or not: 8GB might be enough NOW, but most...

    Question Crucial BLS8G3D1609DS1S00 DDR3 Ram Question

    Im just ballparking here, but your mobo's manual says this: This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 512Mb (64MB) chips or less (Memory chip capacity counts in Megabit, 8 Megabit/Mb = 1 Megabyte/MB Basically its about ram density. Few years back when i was upgrading the ram on my...

    Question Will my motherboard support an RTX 4060 Ti ?

    Wasn't there a potential issue with the 4060 Ti having 8x 4.0 lanes running at a 3.0 platform? I know Der8auer did some testing on the premise that at a 3.0 platform the 4060 Ti runs at an equivalent of 4x 4.0 lanes (basically half). He "did not find any difference" i think, but afaik he was...

    Question Need some clarification about CPU bottlenecking

    Exactly! Your understanding of the concept of "bottleneck" is perfectly fine. A bottleneck is whichever part that SIGNIFICANTLY caps your performance even when the rest of the hardware is capable of much more. In different scenarios, a different part of the PC becomes a bottleneck. Even a...

    Question "No Display" problem with GPU ?

    My bet is slightly loose hdmi or DP cable or, most likely, a driver conflict. Did you do a clean install when updating the gpu driver? Even if you did, the new driver can still have conflicts with the remains of the previously installed ones. Apparently, Nvidia's "clean install" is not 100%...

    Question RTX 3070 vs RTX4060 TI vs RX 6800 xt ?

    I'm in a similar situation, but i don't care as much for raytracing. If i did, i'd save up a little more and buy the RTX 4070. Or at least i would wait for the 16GB version of the 4060 Ti, which will be available very soon (in july). BTW, it's insane (to me) that the 6800XT costs the same as...

    Question How many ranks does PVS464G320C6K have per RAM stick - aka Viper Steel DDR4 64GB (2 x 32GB) 3200MHz Kit?

    Bdie finder suggests it is a single rank (aka "SR", as opposed to DR). Quote: I'm not sure how accurate this is, tho. What i'd do is pick a few motherboards from different manufacturers and check their QVL lists. If you are lucky (or look long enough) to find it listed, it will also tell you...

    Question No power connector to GPU from my PSU

    Check this list: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ Try to get something from Tier A or B, depending on prices and availability in your region. If you are on an extremely tight budget, maybe Tier C. Try to avoid models marked as "low priority" or "speculative" (those are classified...
