    [SOLVED] I upgraded to a 3080, and it's using less than 5% utilization on every game I play.

    I never even insinuated it was a fix. Did you even read my posts?

    I've never seen the earth from space. I'm pretty sure it's flat and a round earth is just an elaborate hoax. Don't get me started. 👽

    Question 80 FPS On All Low With 2700x 2070 Super On Ultra Low Settings

    You don't have the Epic launcher running in the background do you? It's currently eating almost 10% of my cpu. It's something their currently working on. Pushed an update last night but it didn't fix the issue for everyone. Adjusting graphic settings has no effect so it makes me wonder if it's...

    After making sure you're running at Ultra settings, XB Gamepass currently has Ark Survival Evolved available. Hopefully you can still get your first month for $1. I'm also pretty sure it allows supersampling (running at a higher res than your monitor supports). If you'd like to try this let me...

    [SOLVED] Purchasing off of Ebay a bad idea?

    MSFS 2020 is pretty demanding but it will run on older gen cards. Just not too old. Any chance of hitting up your circle of friends to see if anyone has a gtx 770 or better sitting in a box in their closet you can borrow for a few months? I always keep at least one backup in a closet just in...

    [SOLVED] I upgraded to a 3080, and it's using less than 5% utilization on every game I play.

    Like you said, it depends on what he's playing. If he's playing games like csgo on a high hz 1080 display then the cpu could be working. Admittedly, 5% still sounds odd, but It would be interesting to know how it would run at higher resolutions. Maybe a game that let's you scale the res up? I...

    [SOLVED] I upgraded to a 3080, and it's using less than 5% utilization on every game I play.

    Sounds like your CPU bottlenecked. The 3080 is way overkill for a 1080 display. So when you say your cpu is 'under load' do you mean it's running at high percentage in task manager while you're gaming? If you want to really utilize that 3080 you need to invest in a higher resolution display...

    I haven't had an evga card in years. I was unaware of this program so your post prompted me to look at it. That's a pretty darn cool purchase protection program. I've been pretty happy with Gigabyte products lately but maybe it's time to revisit evga.

    No, there isn't. So I'm hopeful it means they're preparing for a larger offering than we've yet seen with this gen.

    Many different SKUs. Was no mention of volumes. I hope vendors have got better at combating bots by now. I really want a 3080 ti 20G. No way I'll support scalpers though. I don't want anything that bad.

    [SOLVED] Question about compatible parts

    I don't feel like checking it to be honest. This website does a pretty good job of showing you what components are compatible. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9tyNsX Scroll down and look under 'Compatibility Notes' to see if their are any issues you should look closer at. Hopefully you've found...

    This. It's pretty dang pathetic when people are looking for something to complain about on the internet so they can get a few clicks and so many actually take them seriously. I expect it from lawyers and/or investors, they're just looking to use the law to make money wherever they can just like...
