    Question Is it normal to have "1% Low" lower than your current frame rate?

    Like I said I limit it only from NVIDIA control panel. But, in other game GTA Online, 1% Low is almost always equal to limited 60 FPS. Much better.

    Question Is it normal to have "1% Low" lower than your current frame rate?

    PC - i5 12400F, 3050 6GB, 16GB DDR4 RAM, SATA SSD, 60Hz monitor. Hi. In Warzone (1080p) low settings I get around 100 FPS if I don't limit frame rate to 60 FPS using NVIDIA control panel. And my 1% Low is above 70 FPS most of the time. However, if I limit frame rate to 60 FPS, I thought I...

    Question What is the difference between disabling battery using Device Manager and physically removing your laptop battery?

    Yes charging LED is on which makes sense that battery is being charged when laptop is off. However, we never know what's happening when laptop is on and battery is disabled.

    Question What is the difference between disabling battery using Device Manager and physically removing your laptop battery?

    Hi. I'm using Windows 10. If I want to use my Dell Inspiron 7570 laptop only with laptop charger, there are two options: 1) Remove laptop battery physically This option works fine for me. I just need to plug in charger all the time so it doesn't shut down accidentally without turning off...

    Question Does Intel Arc GPUs have native support for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11?

    Good to hear. So the "emulation" thing is not used now? Even for DX 9? There is an article saying "Intel is removing native support for DirectX 9 (DX9) from its new Arc graphics cards and Xe integrated graphics on 12th Gen processors, with support now coming from emulation thanks to DirectX 12."

    Question Does Intel Arc GPUs have native support for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11?

    I've read some old posts where people are saying Intel Arc only supports DirectX12 natively. For older ones like 9, 10 and 11, it uses some "DXVK" thing which isn't like native DiretX12. It's like some emulation. I also read some article saying that Intel is dropping support for DX9 so the...

    Question MSI RTX 3060 Gaming X box has an unusual seal

    Thank you! Meanwhile, while I was overthinking, I found another odd thing which has added to my worries. This small text document is also missing (photo attached below).

    Question MSI RTX 3060 Gaming X box has an unusual seal

    I ordered this GPU from an Indian ecommerce website. Everything looks fine and it's working fine so far. Even anti static bag seal was fine as expected. There was no sign that anything inside the box is tampered. However, the box had a plastic seal (please see 3 photos about the box seal and...

    Question HD audio on front panel started working after few hours of building PC

    The thing is I already updated system and updated drivers and restarted many times. It wasn't working. It worked then suddenly when I removed and connected again one last time and restarted PC.
