    Question upgrade help

    Hi, If i were you, id upgrade to 3080ti first, since 8700k is still a decent cpu. About the cpu upgrade, i dont think that 12700k is worth it if you count in the cost of a new motherboard (and possibly ddr5 ram). You can just get 9900k and get away with it, since it doesnt perform that much...

    Question GPU usage drops and causes stutter

    Hello, i am aware that 2gb of vram is not enough, but previous to this 1050 i had an rx 580 4gb which also had usage drops and stutters. Again 4gb isnt much, but on 1080p low settings it should be fine.
