2070 super! Maybe I should upgrade the psu. I've been looking at fractal and seeing their cables are great to work with. I may be told by mods to take it to a thread but ... what do yall think?

Ima risk it; I like to live life on the edge. Rocket turd FTW!

been a great idea since 2011

been a few years. here it is. R5 3600X 32G 3200 RTX 2070 super Rocket turd PSU (yes the very same)

you can move a HP prebuilt in a new case; dont believe the "oh you need a whole new build" stuff. the i5 8400 is a decent CPU and can keep up with many modern GPUs. first thing to look at is : do you want to buy a new case? to determine if you actualy need one you will need to measure and see...

it could be motherboard drivers. your old motherboard probably took a crap. your new motherboard should be displaying. if your new motherboard has onboard video, you will need to use it to install the drivers for the PCIE. once installed it should read your GPU in the PCIE slot. cheers

Get MSI afterburner. set a fan curve with this method: - 5% more for every 5 degrees over 45. 45C = 50% fan speed 50C = 55% fan speed. follow this trend all the way to75C and 80% fan speed part of the issue with stock fan settings is they try to keep your card whisper quiet until its too late...

Yes, a 2060 will definitely fit your motherboard. Assure that you are considering all factors: the card needs to fit your case; all cards inthe specifications description should be able to indicate the amount of room you need. simply look a tthe specs and determine the size in your tower...

technically the 5600xt has a lower power consumption than the rx480, so the upgrade would work fine with that PSU. 480 is around 160-170W, the 5600xt is around 150W the 3600Ti is around 200W which means it will use more of your psu, but your total load with that CPU and the like should be...

no; it looks to be a very balanced decision and will serve you well for 1080p and mid level gaming well done Cheers!

you are due for a complete upgrade. what is your budget?

update your bios then; strange the mobo that was manufactured for the 2x series isnt compatible without a bios update. If that works, then you're set. Cheers

I use an old gamestop 360 controller and it works fine for me; cant see if it even is a knockoff it not working.

try another game and see.

are you running vsync? if you are running Vsync, your fps is limited to 60 and therefore a powerhouse like a 7700k and 1080ti wont be nearly at 1/2 - 3/4 usage in your scenario. also, check your nvidia control to ensure you "prefer maximum performance" If you are using the TIM that came on...
