    Question 6800xt not working at maximum potential

    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.

    Question 6800xt not working at maximum potential

    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...

    Question Does adding more RAM remove the pagefiles you're using?

    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?

    Question Will Old Core i7 Bottleneck the RTX 2060 ?

    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...

    Question I7-9700k or I9-9900k?

    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...

    Question Will Old Core i7 Bottleneck the RTX 2060 ?

    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...

    [SOLVED] Choosing a Monitor Questions and Comparisons

    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...

    [SOLVED] Weird processes using GPU

    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...

    Question I7-9700k or I9-9900k?

    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...

    Question Intel or AMD

    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...

    Question Is my CPU going bad?

    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...

    Question Graphics card no display

    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...

    Question i7 8700k stutters while playing COD.

    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...

    Question I7-9700k at 100% CPU Usage In games

    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...

    Question I7-9700k at 100% CPU Usage In games

    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...
