So I think I may have figured it out, I was still on an old update of windows. 1803 vs 1903. I'm not sure why the impact was so great to the GPU. I looked it up a bit and I don't thing the impact should have been that great but with 1903, I think my benchmarks are now more or less close to what...

Nothing, I think I took the cover off once to clean it, but the close up just makes it look weird. That notch on the video card is supposed to be there too although I don't actually know what it's used for. A bridge connection for SLI perhaps?

Yes, I am using a display port. Windows Display adapter settings does mirror Nvidia display settings. The only reason I'm running 144 is because the ROG Swift OCs to 165. Without turning on the OC setting it's 144, and I have that setting off at the moment so the most I can set refresh to...

7.5 is the BIOS version on the Z170 board. Nvidia Driver is 436.15 I did some more testing on on AC origins I get the following framerates . 48 avg on Very High which again compared to other benchmarks I've seen is extremely low. (Should be around 70-80 at ultra 1440p)

Hi! This might be an easy one. I recently upgraded from a MSI GTX 1070 to a Zotac 2080 Super. When I made the switch, I'm getting what seems to be even worse performance in the form of lag spikes and stuttering. I believe it is a bottle neck on the CPU (Intel 6700k OC'd to 4.4 Ghz) however when...

I won't be gaming on both, just 1, which is why I prefer the largest 1080p that still looks good. The second is for Netflix, quick research, etc. I thought about 3 monitors but I honestly don't think I'd use the third much. But again I want the monitors to be identical and sometimes I multi box...

I plan on buying the new GTX 1070 when it comes out, everything suggests that performance would be on par with the GTX 980ti. With that purchase I want to purchase a dual monitor setup (Identical monitors for mounting purposes and so I can get color to look the same). After seeing benchmarks of...

I've got what I'd consider a pretty good system: CPU: FX 8320 8 Core 4.3Ghz OC GPU: EVGA GTX 760 RAM: 8Gb Gskill DDR3 1333 MOBO: GA-970a-ud3 PSU: Seasonic M12II 750W SSD: 120Gb Samsung EVO HDD: Seagate 2TB 64MB Cache Hyper 212 EVO CPU Fan However, I've been playing ARK Evolved and I...

Yes it will. I had the Phenom II and when I upgraded, I saw no performance gain due to the throttling from the CPU.

I've looked into it a little bit but I don't think I understand. Why do Gamers go with High priced Mobos when they typically don't use more than 2 cards in SLI and don't do extreme overclocks. Am I missing something about the boards that gives a performance boost? All I've ever been told is that...

Hey guys, right now Im in the market for an I7 4770k CPU and I'll need a Motherboard to support it, I'm looking to go to SLI in the future so thats important but never with more than 1 card. I plan on running SLI with 2 GTX 760s. I do overclock but not a ton, so if I could get that I7 4770k to...
