That 4060 ti looks like it's trying to be the generational step increased equivalent of the 2070. Price matches too. I'm now thinking somebody didn't tell the product manager / whoever was in charge of the naming scheme about the entire 3000 series.

Sticky keys. Ignore me >,<

Hello all. I am trying to help a friend diagnose an issue. His ctrl & windows keys 'toggle' instead of working when pressed. Every 3 clicks, the windows start menu pops up. Win+[button] seems to work every time, but the press+depress behavior opening the start menu only every 3. Similarly, if...

< in the market. But, I will not spend more than $5/added frame on a GPU. Tracking performance and prices, the closest high-end GPUs are used RTX 3080's that are nearing $500, which would be my tipping point. But the market isn't playing ball; prices are going the opposite direction. New cards...

Should add a "+/- $35" etc., on all prices. Say, everything within one standard deviation. Your listing for $464 2080TI means very little to me if I instead see one right now at $386, buy it now w/ free shipping. The data does not feel representative. So, $484 +/- $50 or something (again...

Imagine a future with no HDMI or DP cables. Only USB connections to monitors. I like it, sounds clean. I'd still rather imagine VR workspaces, where you just pull up and move apps and documents around with your hands in a virtual space. But cleaner workspaces on traditional monitors are nice...

Props to @geofelt for seemingly being the only person that understood the request. And, for Hardware Unboxed for uploading a scientific breakdown of this exact situation earlier today, even examining the effects with high settings on 1440P with a GPU bottleneck. For those that may find this...

I'm clearly not talking to any engineers haha. I fault myself for my numbers obsession but now that I'm on the hunt I must dig. Unless the opinion is: hard bottleneck, exactly +0 FPS possible. However, again, I don't believe that to be the case.

Sure, but I note that a CPU upgrade likely would have SOME potential. How much is what I'm debating. +30 FPS in the ideal situation sans any GPU bottleneck, so maybe it'd only be like +10 in my case? +3? +25? That's the issue I'm trying to get to the heart of.

Hello. A situation for your consideration. My current system is all AMD: 3600 w/ 3000mhz RAM, and a 6600XT GPU. Allowed myself to splurge and got a 1440P Ultrawide 144hz monitor. I like the screen real estate for work, and would like to enjoy it for gaming as well, but you can see that my...

Bump

Hardware: stock Ryzen 5 1600, 16gb ram, GTX970 SLI. I thought it was a bug with AC Syndicate, the cape on the female character ran with what looked like 5fps. Super juttery. But otherwise very smooth gameplay, and high FPS. Beat it, got rid of it. Now running through Rise of the Tomb...

My non-answer would be that, with how technical I'm aware PCB's to be these days, I wouldn't even trust a job like that to my colleges Electrical Engineering professors. There's any number of things that could be wrong with a burned out card, not least to say the actual transistors in the...

This is something I'm aware is important in Linux. But Win10 has swap memory too, as my Rainmeter graph shows. As of now, I'm using 86% of my swap memory (16g of ram is only 44%). The swap has run out a couple of times now. I get an error message and windows asks for permission to close...

In any case, I'd recommend something more serious either way. That's not an investment, seriously, go to Goodwill or something. I'm running a 5.1 surround system with wall mounts for rear speakers and a large home theater receiver powering it all for barely more than $100 (see new systems for...
