    Best CPU for 1440p 144hz that won't bottleneck a RTX 2080Ti

    I had the same exact setup as you with two 1080ti's and i7-6700k, monitor is an Asus ROG PG278QR 1440p 165Hz. I went with two 2080's. I had a 2080 ti but it worked for exactly 3 hours and then fried itself. I also had a 2080 FE that had a fan controller issue. Ended up with two MSI Gaming X...

    Tom's Hardware Passmark-CPU Benchmark Thread

    So it took going to 4x8 ram in order for me to figure out the 2700x overclocking. I cleared cmos and started much simpler just OC on bclk and multipler, 103.4 and 41.75 volts 1.41 soc 1.15. Ram is at 3333MHz 14-14-14-30 @1.45. Sniper x rated at 3400. I could get the ram to 3533 at the same...

    i5 8600k or ryzen 7 2700x

    I am buying the 2700x now and upgrading in 6-9 months on the Ryzen 3000's 7nm on the same motherboard, offset some cost with selling the 2700x. At 1440p most games will have a small FPS difference. You may notice if you bought both and ran them side-by-side, but who on earth would do that? Pay...

    Intel Announces 9th Generation Core CPUs, Eight-Core Core i9-9900K

    Come on AMD, show me the 2800x. Got a boxed Crosshair VII ready.

    Upgrade to Ryzen 7 2700x, but frames worst than previous processor, Ryzen 3 1200.

    I would re-flash the bios and reinstall windows. Start from the top. Not sure what ram you have but enable XMP or whatever AM4 boards have.

    Ryzen vs. Intel

    If the 8700k is going up in price due to 14nm shortage then the 9900k and 9700k will be absurdly priced and probably almost impossible to get, as they say a "paper launch". This 14nm shortage is ridiculous. I am hoping AMD counters with the 2800x, whatever it may be. Got a ROG Crosshair VII on...

    Ryzen 2700X Ram

    I am building it, starting off with Ryzen 2700x the ram mentioned above. Rog Crosshair Vii and the rest of the stuff I have a wall of, PSU's up to 1600w all corsair RM and HXi's, Graphics cards from 960's to 1080ti's, the usual high end components. So the Hynix issues have been resolved?

    Ryzen 2700X Ram

    I have 32GB 4x8 of Corsair Vengeance LPX. Will this Ram behave on a x470 Crosshair Vii? On the intel platform I can OC it to 3100, but it is rated to 3000. I am sure this question has been answered somewhere, but specifically on the x470 as it seems from looking around that some ram issues have...

    RTX 2080 issues

    Yeah, new drivers do not help. Same issues. It's going back. I think I am done with this round of cards. My two GTX 1080 ti's should be just fine until the 3000 or whatever the next line of cards is. I originally ordered two 2080's, dropped it to one with the reviews, now down to zero.

    RTX 2080 issues

    Yep, used the beta afterburner as well as precisionx. Going to try the new drivers and one other pc tomorrow but judging by the other people on various forums, I am betting I got a bad card. The amount of returns and rma's on these cards would be interesting to know. Supposedly even some...

    RTX 2080 issues

    Before I return it, I wanted to ask of any other ideas. The issue is the fans. One is stuck at 100% the other will not go below 41%, but is controllable in Afterburner. I have a 1080 ti that works perfectly, same pc. I have used DDU and redownloaded the drivers. Geforce forums does not have a...
