    Lower frame rates with native 4k vs DSR

    I am currently on Native 4k as I got a 4k tv, but I was getting 60 FPS solid with the 4k DSR, after changing to the Native 4k, I got the FPS drop. There shouldn't be a difference in 4k native vs 4k DSR right? 100 % sure I was on 4k DSR originally.

    5.1 Surround no longer an option after creators update

    Latest, even with fresh install as admin. Even tried Beta Realtek drivers. Bios was updated a week ago it is on latest. Even tried downgrading to an older version of the Realtek audio drivers and 5.1 used to be selectable, no change.

    5.1 Surround no longer an option after creators update

    Using the latest Realtek Audio drivers and Optical jack on an Asus 370-F motherboard with the Windows 10 creators update. It used to show the 2 channel stereo and an option for 5.1. I can see a DTS selection with the quality, but not in the drop down for the selection of the channels, does...

    Lower frame rates with native 4k vs DSR

    Been doing some research, as I have a 4k tv now, I switched the old DSR to a native 4k resolution. It seems people are saying with DSR there should be no drop in framerates or difference in the resources with DSR vs native 4k. I am finding in games like Battlefield 1, where DSR 4k would run on...

    G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 16GB 288-Pin DDR4 and ASUS ROG STRIX B250F GAMING Mobo compatability

    Geeze I didn't even see that, I just saw the 1151 slot. Would the board still start fans with no CPU?

    G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 16GB 288-Pin DDR4 and ASUS ROG STRIX B250F GAMING Mobo compatability

    To helpstar. It's the 8700k. All brand new. Tried one slot, on A2 which is advises in the book with each stick. Nothing but the under board LEDs. There is one orange led on at the bottom that shows the board is getting power.

    G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 16GB 288-Pin DDR4 and ASUS ROG STRIX B250F GAMING Mobo compatability

    Nope, I get the LEDS under the board but nothing else. No fans, no power/lights on the water cooler. Tried each ram stick with just one, no change. No change with no RAM in either. Really seems like it's the board.

    EVGA CLC 280 Liquid Cooler and ASUS ROG STRIX B250F GAMING

    First time using water cooling. The B250F board has jumpers for Pump AIO and then the original CPU fan power jumpers. Do does CLC 280 Cooler plug into the PUMP AIO or to the CPU fan spot?

    6700k vs GTX 1080 SLI Upgrade

    I have been watching some youtube video comparing framerates, and it does look like in most the sli's 1080s give better performance than the single titan xp. As for the micro stutters, a lot of people had mentioned settings were off in the nvidia 3d settings, incorrect power settings etc. I...

    6700k vs GTX 1080 SLI Upgrade

    I did have a 660 ti sli'd and got a few issues, it would only be for modern games as they are the ones that are graphically intensive. I do want smooth 4k gaming, but I also hear the titan even needs to be sli to get good 4k performance. Though waiting for the 11 series sounds valid, as they...
