    [SOLVED] MSI Afterburner complications

    Today I found out the issue! It was actually Riot's new anticheat for their new game Valorant. The Anti-Cheat Riot-Vanguard was blocking the program from working. After promptly uninstalling the game, and a hasty reboot, i'm back in business!

    [SOLVED] MSI Afterburner complications

    I've been using MSI Afterburner since I can remember, without any hiccups or complications. This morning, I turned on my rig, and noticed immediately that MSI Afterburner had stopped monitoring nearly everything. Upon opening settings, and going to the monitoring tab, the only things MSI...

    Which is better?

    So, My friend and I are debating which build is better for new games being released. His build is a i7 4790k cpu, and a r9 270x gpu. We have nearly identical ram and hard drives. I am using a AMD FX 4300 cpu, and a geforce 980 gtx gpu. He says mine is beefier, I say his is. Opinions?

    Dedicated Video Ram

    Now, I'm relatively curious because I can't seem to find a definite answer on this question.
