I would suggest a fresh install of Windows, I've had my fair share of failures b/c of DDU. also also, you can try a BIOS (UEFI) reset from the button / jumper on the mobo. That helps sometimes when switching gpu manufacturers.

Prefer maximum performance in NVidia control panel. Max power settings in Windows. Check Vsync settings in Nvidia Control Panel.

Yep. It's always "power"...

Are you sure you can't up your budget a bit and get the 1660 or a 6gb 1060? They'd be significantly better (especially the 1660).

Check your power settings, both in Windows, and in Nvidia Control Panel. Set them to prefer maximum performance.

This^^ . The 8400 is a six-core indeed, but it runs at a pretty low frequency. You will find that all benchmarks are done using high-end CPUs, as to not bottleneck the graphics cards in any way (in order to facilitate apples-to-apples comparison). I wouldn't be surprised if that benchmark you...

Dear all, I own a GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming, which throttles in a crazy way. It always hits its "power" limit, even if it's at 24% TDP. I have tried disabling boost through Maxwell II Bios Editor, and have tried different official, stock BIOSes. It's always the same problem, and one can see the...

Thanks. Was just wondering why there's a connector on there at all ( even R7s and R9s had it in the first iteration (260x for instance, which is gcn1.1).

No, you will be perfectly fine with an i3 at that frequency. It will even turbo boost higher than that for single-core (dual-thread) apps.

So I am currently running an HD7790 (don't ask) on a Asrock Fatal1ty Gaming K6+ (Z170). I can get another card, an R7-260X for about 30 bucks, but neither I nor the person selling the other card have a crossfire bridge. Would I still need one? I mean, the discussion in 2013 was that the lack...
