I would like to add. You need I think an HDMI 2.0 cable. The more common HDMI 1.4 cables won't support 1080p at 120hz. Version 2.0 supports 1080p at 144hz and 4k at 60hz. And version 2.1 supports 10k at 120hz. If your TV/Monitor does support 120hz and you know you have an HDMI 2.0 cable then...

Do you have another monitor to test? Do you have another computer to which you can install your video card to test? Those should be good starting points but first unplug and reconnect your video cables.

This is what I gathered up. PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/m3YMMZ Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/m3YMMZ/by_merchant/ CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($93.40 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-AB350M-DS3H Micro ATX AM4...

The only fix I know of is for backlight bleed. Whereby the backlight bleeds around the edges of panel and illuminates the front side. The fix I've read is to dismantle the monitor and apply some electrical tape to the edges of the panel and backlight.

The only thing I can recommend is check if you are on the latest BIOS/UEFI version.

Check your hard drive usage. There might be a program taking priority on disk operations.

If you are confident enough to replace your cooler then re-applying thermal paste should be a walk in the park. Some of the coolers are finicky and in some cases the most difficult part of many PC builds. Since it hasn't been recommended, Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO. An affordable decent tower...

"5.25 radio" brought up some good results. Lots of marine rated stereo kits with features for MP3 playback and aux inputs. I don't know enough about radio and media equipment to recommend any brands. Items you can place in 5.25in bays are water reservoirs for liquid cooling setups, temperature...

I don't know what resolution your computer is capable of. My system is at 1440p and at highest settings without anti-aliasing I get less than 45 fps. Which is ridiculous considering I have a GTX 1080 capable of running many current games well above 60 fps. This was with myself testing the...

The RX560 would be the better performer. But you will be at the mercy of the laptop manufacturer. They decide how much power and how fast the GPU runs at. According to articles the Nvidia MX150 is a mobile version of the GTX 1030. According to benchmarks the RX 560X desktop variant gets nearly...

Your setups are good. First question is are you using NVENC, Quick Sync, or x264/h264 CPU encoding? Could you get us a screen shot of CPU and GPU usage when the frame rate drops are happening? Might be related, might not, but I too have an issue with OBS and you can try this trick too. If my...

Disable fast startup if you change hardware frequently. Changing hard drives or USB devices and the such. If you have a laptop it's generally OK to have fast boot enabled. What it does is take note of the hardware devices installed and on next boot it will assume those same devices are still...

You should get good performance on decently high settings. The game is from 2006 and the video card is from 2016. 10 years should be plenty for video cards to improve. Just pray that the game can run properly on modern hardware.

I have a ceiling fan right in between the 2 base stations that I have. Use the sync cable and set the base stations to the proper mode. It solved my issues. Also make sure your stations are angled at roughly 35 degrees. Additionally remove any reflective objects or obstruct them in some way...

Just my opinion but I use the HyperX Cloud Revolver and I think they're great. If you like your Cloud 2 why not try an upgrade to the Cloud Revolver. The only other headset I've tried is the Logitech G930. Between the 2 they're about the same clarity but the more neutral sound of the Revolver...
