    Question Weird GPU spikes

    Any ideas here, folks? I reinstalled the GPU drivers using DDU and scanned the PC for malware, finding nothing. Aside from the RTX 3060 and the 650 W PSU BeQuiet Pure Power 12, the rest of my hardware is pretty old - a Z97-HD3 motherboard with a Core i5 4690, but I can't see why this would cause...

I've done some researching and have selected all parts already, but I'd like to know what you tech gurus think about the individual parts / the combination of them. I'm particularly interested in what...
