    Question RTX 3070FE ~30% usage while i7-7700K is at ~50% ?

    Tried the dual channel configuration and it did not improve performance. What did improve performance was disabling a weapon mod in HL:A, but even then the game still has 'waves' where FPS will drop from 80 to 40 for a short time before jumping back to 80, and sometimes it drops further from 40...

    Question RTX 3070FE ~30% usage while i7-7700K is at ~50% ?

    I inserted the ram into the proper arranged slot for dual memory. Did more windows updates and am gonna try VR again and see if the dual channel fixed it.

    Question RTX 3070FE ~30% usage while i7-7700K is at ~50% ?

    Thank you for your reply, just today there was a GPU driver update that I downloaded to try out and hopefully report back with results. But following your list: I'm not sure if I have utilized Dual Channel RAM as I only have 16 GB total (2x8 GB) , and it is Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 MHz...

    Question RTX 3070FE ~30% usage while i7-7700K is at ~50% ?

    I've been struggling to figure out why my RTX 3070 card has been performing terribly in VR. Pavlov VR runs at 50-70FPS on high settings and Half Life: Alyx barely runs at 30-40 FPS on low. I've tried every fix I could other than downgrading drivers, overclocking or a full re-install of Windows...

    Terrible FPS count in Battlefield 1

    My current audio driver is the Gioteck HC3 driver, dating to 2013. Gioteck's website has appeared to have gone offline altogether, meaning I cannot find an updated driver for the headset.

    Terrible FPS count in Battlefield 1

    I run a PNY GTX 1050 Ti 4G version, with 8GB ram, and an intel i5-4460 @ 3.2GHz. When I run Battlefield 1, the game plays beautifully for a while, then the sound begins crackling horribly, and then the game slows down, to the point of even freezing while the sound stops entirely only to suddenly...

    Protection error after installing Linksys wireless card

    This started happening on my IBM Thinkpad 600 after my Netgear WG511T started showing wifi networks with glitchy SSIDs and channel numbers that are impossibly high and low (-999, 2915, 0, etc.) I then replaced the card with a Linksys WPC54G Hardware V3 and software. Now the system gets windows...
