    Question And old 4k vs a new 1440?

    Yeah, I saw the same review before buying. I figured if I can get it at such a steep discount then I can live with a little ghosting until I can save up for a more high end monitor. Or it might not bother me at all and I'll keep it for years. We'll see when it arrives.

    Question And old 4k vs a new 1440?

    Update: I found an MSI MAG 274UPF for $250. 4k and 144mhz. I figure that's good enough for an upgrade from my current 4k 60mhz until I can save up money for a higher end monitor, assuming I'm not completely satisfied with the 274UPF.

    Question And old 4k vs a new 1440?

    So I'm doing a completely new system build with a 7800x3d and a 4090. I've been told the way to get the most out of a 4090's power over a 4080 is with 4k. I do have a 4k monitor, an ASUS TUF VG289Q but it has a 60mhz refresh rate. With my budget I could get a 1440 Dell S3222DGM which has a...

    Question Question about getting the most out of my RAM.

    Hi, I'm wondering a couple of things about the ram, since I'm putting together a new system with these parts. First and most obviously, is the Kingston Fury Beast ram any good for the 7800x3d and 4090 on the tomahawk motherboard? Secondly, what options can I modify in the bios to get the...

    Question I'm thinking about upgrading my RTX 3070 ?

    Well something I did helped. I'm getting 1440 at a stable 70fps with everything HQ.

    Question I'm thinking about upgrading my RTX 3070 ?

    updated my bios and windows and turned off gpu hardware scheduling. I checked my ram and now it says it's only 2133 MT/s in the task manager when before it said 3200. Did something change in the bios and should I go back in to fix that?

    Question I'm thinking about upgrading my RTX 3070 ?

    Yes, I seem to be gathering that *something* in my system is dramatically underperforming what it should be doing.

    So I checked the settings first under windows 11 and it said it was on performance. I went into the control panel and it told me it was on balanced. I've changed it to AMD Ryzen High Performance there. Monitor says 60 hertz.

    Apparently the power options in the control panel disagrees with the settings.

    Question I'm thinking about upgrading my RTX 3070 ?

    No AIO leaks, thankfully. How likely is it that the cpu is damaged and that's what's causing the difficulty with 60fps? I'm storing my games on my 1TB WD SSD.

    Question I'm thinking about upgrading my RTX 3070 ?

    I'm worried that one or both of my CPU and GPU were damaged. I used to have an AIO but the pump died. I'm not sure when exactly it died, just that I started to get forced shutdowns from CPU heat warnings on my BIOS. I tried a couple of different things to fix it over the course of 2 or 3 weeks...
