Thanks for the reply. I guess maybe this is the first time I've experienced an alt tab issue with a game in full screen. Borderless does appear to be a workaround, which has no issues. That works for now!

In all my years of building pcs, this one has been the bane of my existence. Here are my specs: Windows 11 Pro Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX Intel i9-13900K (does anyone want to buy this? I don't want it anymore) GeForce RTX 3080 TI 64GB of G.Skill Ripjaw S5 DDR5-6000 Corsair RM1000x PSU Little...

I also found that description as well when doing some research. What doesn't make sense to me though is that optimization (which is less volts and power) causes issues with bf2042, but spec enhancement (which increases volts and power) fixes my problem lol. I haven't had any issues with bf2042...

I will definitely give it a read, thanks for the resource. Those images should be public now... but in case you wanna look and see if anything jumps out to you, I uploaded them to imgur as well: View: https://imgur.com/a/aILaqPi

Because I was curious about the gigabyte perfdrive, I tried changing these and playing BF2042 without any other changes. Optimization: Gives me out of memory errors or the game just closes without errors Instant 6 Ghz: I don't want to overclock, so didn't try this Spec enhancement: Seems to be...

Honestly... I have zero experience with overclocking or underclocking. As I do with every PC build I've done over the years, I just put all of the parts together, and keep all of the settings as default. And for whatever reason, this specific PC build has not gone smoothly. Which has resulted in...

Sorry for revitalizing this post ... but just wanted to update that a fresh Windows 10 install did not solve any issues with BF2042. The only way I was able to get BF2042 to run, or at least most of the time, was to use intel extreme tuning utility and lower my performance core ration from 55x...

Haha, I'll have to take your word on that about Linux. That's not for me. But yeah, I do understand that theres endless combinations of hardware. I guess I was more so saying that even when I look at "whats popular" in terms of hardware, I feel like I expect it to have no issues. Maybe I'm just...

You might be on to something. I should definitely do a fresh install of Windows 10 on another drive and see what happens at least. Totally agree with you on the drivers and being smart about keeping your computer running smoothly :)

I'm about to go off on a little rant, but I'm curious... are there any older gamers out there that have experienced constant issues/problems (usually minor) with brand new PC builds? I'm 36 and I've invested a lot of time and money into computers and gaming over the years. I'm not the most...

With air conditioning, I would say that my office stays around 72º F. I'm located in Pennsylvania. I think... I set up my fans so that the top and front would both suck air in and then the cpu cooler fans/back exhaust would move it all out. Is that not ideal? I will say... playing Diablo 4 for...

It's been a long time since I've posted here, so I'm sorry for that. But good news, I have finally built a much-needed new computer to replace my old which had a GeForce 1070 Ti Duke and an Intel Core i7-6700K. At the time, it was decent, and actually still runs current games okay (on all low...

Hey everyone, My PC Specs: OS: Windows 10 x64 Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 GPU: Nvidia Geforce 1070 Ti Duke Monitor: AOC G2590FX (g-sync compatible) So I finally bought a new monitor so that I could enjoy not only the 144hz refresh rate, but I wanted to experience g-sync for the first...

Not jumping to conclusion.... but I updated some drivers and I have not had a blue screen (yet). I left it on all night while I slept, nothing happened. I played some diablo 3 for a few hours, nothing happened. Let Witcher 3 sit in the main menu for a little bit and nothing happened. Let's hope...
