    Question New RTX 4070 bottlenecked at 1080p?

    Mostly fps games some more graphically demanding than others, like Cod, csgo, Overwatch. But also, some single player like God of War and Cyberpunk, usually the same result in all of them utilization percentage wise. I obviously wouldn't want 100% utilization on my CPU, but the fact it isn't...

    Need some help with Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Ohms

    I ordered the Beyerdynamic DT990s 250 Ohms with a Scarlett Solo 2i2 compressor. They came in today and i've hooked up everything up and listened to music for a bit and it sounded great, could be a little louder. But when I launched Fortnite I had to max out the sounds and still it wasn't loud at...
