27" at 1440p is the sweet spot. anything 120hz to 240hz VRR. Usually you can use monitors for a long time and that thing will last you even if you upgrade the system later. DLSS will make 1440p very usable. The only thing I would reconsider is the processor.

Yes, but depending on the architecture hyperthreading might not be necessary. Its not like they turn it off on Raptor Lake. They will not use hyperthreading on a different architecture. I don't know where the rule is written down that every processor architecture will benefit from...

Overclocking on modern Nvidia graphics cards is kinda obsolete anyway. Due to turboboost you get best performance out of the box anyway and whatever you can squeeze out of those high end cards manually is neglectable (like getting from 102fps to 104???). If anything, maybe a little VRAM...

So, I am now at minus -0.15 volts with the bios settings stated in the my initial post. I hit now over 30000 points in mulitcore Cinebench R23 with my 100% ultra silent air cooled setup. This is about 1000 points more than without the undervolt at stock settings. Still not seeing any errors or...

So, the CPU is running a game loop for each frame. The whole game code to calculate what happens in the game, all instructions, calculates all the changes including location of player, npcs, game objects, inventory, and coordinates for all polygons. Pretty much everything that happens and...

It's a CPU bottle neck. Time for a CPU upgrade. I upgraded my CPU before I upgraded to the 4080. Back than I did run a lot of MS Flight Simulator which is very much CPU bottlenecked. At least the 4080 can do frame gen which is nice in CPU bottleneck situations. But don't use frame gen if you...

When they can achieve higher performance without Hyperthreading than with Hyperthreading, I really don't care. If they decided to not use Hyperthreading due to the fact that performance with it is worse, than so what?

I can set that in Cinebench?

I can do the single core benchmark. but you said "handful" of cores earlier, so on a 16 core cpu you a handful would be more than one, I guess?

suggestion (for stress test)?

I am satisfied with the out of box performance as well. But it runs hot in benchmarks. Gaming temps are fine. I was more curious and want to play around with it. Just to see what I can change with with just lowering voltages. Seems like I can get a bit more performance at lower temps than at...

Would y` Would you recommend doing it manually in BIOS or should I use the XTU from Intel? In the XTU I cannot set an LLC value and it seems less stable at lower voltage offsets.

So, I just have to find the sweet before lowering more voltage will lose performance or not being stable, right?

Yes, the PC is for gaming. When it comes to the settings, it was more like if I turning the right gears, not by how much I turn them. So, is my undervolting approach right?

Hi, I am running a 13700k at stock for a couple of years now. I just moved my PC in a new case and tinkering around with it a bit. In the past with previous CPUs I did quite a bit of overclock. But haven't done so in awhile since I don't even bother with the13700k. But yesterday I played around...
