As in, how can you tell? Is it via CPU usage? I have an i7 4770k at 4.4GHz and a GTX 1080. I ran into serious issues with Fallout 4 and GTA V; the GPU usage is low and the CPU usage is normal (30-50% and 75% at the most demanding areas in FO4). I have a screenshot of Fallout 4 where the CPU...

Connecting the two jacks using the front panels instead of the ones in the back (directly to the motherboard) kinda solved the issue. The headset passes the 7.1 test (I can hear from every speaker) but they are probably not working in-games and windows applications. Edit: Welp. I will stick to...

I have an Asus z97-A with realtek ALC898 on-board sound card that supports 7.1. I went to the windows speaker configuration and it shows the test option for the 7.1 setup, but I only hear sound from the left and right speakers. I tried updating the drivers and I thought of trying the Dolby...

I would like to know if I can get a stereo headset and use it in conjunction with the 7.1 surround sound card that the Z97-A provides. I am thinking of getting the HyperX Cloud I and use it with the motherboard's sound card for virtual 7.1, but I am not sure if this setup is going to work; I...

I don't recommend the Hyperx Cloud II. The virtual sound that the USB card provides is very lacking in depth and clearance. I think that getting the Cloud I or the original headset that it was based on and connecting it to a sound card with 7.1 virtual surround is a better option if it is...

Update: I can't buy anything from Kingston as I don't live in the US; they refused the third-party courier address that I provided too. I would like some advice on jack extensions or external sound cards if I can use them in conjunction with my Cloud II. I might as well buy a new headset, but...

The USB sound card that the Hyperx Cloud II uses broke recently. The manufacturer sells it for 30$ which is basically the equivalent of a budget headset. I also feel like it will be a waste if I got a cheaper 30-50$ headset with fake 7.1 surround. What should I do now? I bought a cheap jack...

An important update: I tested the voltage output of the PSU with a multimeter; I put the thing on via connecting ground pin+psu on pin and I heard the usual click sound that the PSU makes when it is on. All voltages were doubled. The orange 3.3V pins were 6.5V or something, and the 12V were...

I made a similar topic yesterday. I know that open world games e.g The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Dying Light...,etc. are CPU-heavy games, but I don't know about DX12. I read today about the GTX 1080 pulling 200fps in DOOM with DX12 Vulkan, so I am wondering how much of an impact a high-end CPU will...

Edit: I decided to buy a PSU tester and decide if it is the motherboard or the PSU that is dead. I will stick with my 970m for now; at least I will hook it to a 144hz monitor LOL. What an amazing start for the summer break; first my cloud II headset, and the now the whole thing. I just...

My current build: CPU: i7 4770k 4.2 GHz overclock (might increase it). GPU: GTX 780 RAM: 1866mHz DDR3 16GB RAM. Motherboard: Asrock z87 Pro4. I plan on getting a GTX 1080, so I am worried about the CPU or RAM bottleneck-ing performance overall. Also, are there going to be compatibility...
