    Question Viotek GN24CB Monitor Flashes/Flickers on 120hz and 144hz

    I have a Viotek GFT27DB that has similar issues, although I'm not entirely sure it's monitor related. I built my new computer in january this year, running with a 3800x, RTX 2080 Super, 16GB 3200MHZ Ram, ASRock X570 board, and that monitor. Ever since I got it, had some weird graphical issues...

    [SOLVED] Artifact-like issue but not sure if artifact

    I did update the BIOS. As it turns out, the monitor itself is the problem. The artifacting issues happen even on my previous computer when it's hooked up to this new monitor I got, and it never artifacted beforehand. Research says some other folks with my same monitor have issues at higher...

    [SOLVED] Artifact-like issue but not sure if artifact

    Sorry for the vague title, I'm not exactly sure what's going on. I just recently built my new computer, as well as got a new 2K 144HZ monitor to enjoy it on. https://pcpartpicker.com/b/7qD2FT There's all the parts with links just in case you need any more technical specs, but to sum it up in...

    Question Poor performance with GTX 1080

    CPU load wasn't very high. 500W should be enough, it wasn't stuttering or anything. I dunno. I give up. Done everything there is to do with the thing and I just can't get it to perform right, so I reinstalled my 1070 and I'm gonna just sell this 1080. I don't think there's anything wrong with...

    Question Poor performance with GTX 1080

    Tried some other misc steps today - Heard about Xbox causing problems with a setting so I tried to mess with that, but I guess that was old news. Adjusted power settings in NVidia Control Panel and in my Computer Settings but it made no difference.

    Question low fps GTX 1080

    Yes to all of those except Microsoft Visual, I'm not sure if I have both versions installed. Will check when I get home.

    Question Poor performance with GTX 1080

    I'm not sure how to check for mining using this. That's the usage in a high stress area of World Of Warcraft. It's giving me 45 to 50 FPS but it won't go any higher than 32% GPU Load and other figures you see there. It doesn't seem like it's having power or temp issues, right?

    Question Poor performance with GTX 1080

    Card is used, but still under warranty. Barely used. No temp issues, no power usage issues. I am noticing that even when I'm in areas of games that cause drops in frames, my GPU usage doesn't seem to want to go above 25% according to firestorm (the Zotac version of MSI Afterburner).

    Question Poor performance with GTX 1080

    So I upgraded from a GTX 1070 to a GTX 1080 about a week and a half ago. I thought it'd be a straight forward increase in power, and my 1070 always worked really well for me. However, I've been experiencing results that are less than what the 1070 gave me. Fallout 4 takes forever to load and...

    Question low fps GTX 1080

    I'm also having this problem. I have a similar system, AMD Ryzen 5 - 1600x with a 1080. Dual channel 16 GB RAM at 3000 MHZ on an ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 K4 Gaming Motherboard. I had a GTX 1070 in there beforehand and it worked fantastic. I thought upgrading to a 1080 would be a simple plug-in and...

    ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 MOBO still won't run RAM at 2933 MHZ

    It actually ended up not being as stable as I thought. It was for a little bit, it behaved itself real well for awhile. But eventually it started happening again. My guess is that the problem lies in me not having RAM that is specifically tested for the MOBO. I think if I did, it'd work...

    CPU-Z and Ryzen Master showing different RAM Timings than BIOS is

    I have a Ryzen 5 - 1600x Processor, ASRock AB350 Fatal1ty Gaming K4 Motherboard. G.Skills Ripjaws V Series DD4 8x2 GB 3000MHZ C15 sticks for memory. As most people with new Ryzen's, I've had issues getting my RAM to go up full speed. It was 2133 MHZ for quite awhile, but it seems like I can...

    ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 MOBO still won't run RAM at 2933 MHZ

    I'm sorry to keep continually replying to myself, but I wanted to do one last reply. It appears that I finally have gotten my RAM stable at 2933 MHZ, as it hasn't crashed in quite some time, even after a couple hours of Overwatch and stress tests. https://valid.x86.fr/b2ygpu I dunno why it...
