After waiting to see what Intel/AMD/Nvidia would release this year, I've decided to build a list on PCpartpicker so I can track prices and eventually buy a full new PC build. If I had to guess, prices will be more stable in 3+ months time which is likely when I'll pull the trigger. Current PC...

I bought a AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3d for my new build, I'm looking for a motherboard for it but it's really confusing, there's so much options and they're not labelled the same from on constructor to another. My base requirements: 192GB of DDR5 RAM (as fast as possible but chances are I'm going to...

Hello, When I try to play games with my friend, we usually screen share our gameplay. However, recently, my screen share has been performing poorly. Whenever I attempt to share my screen while playing any game, the screen share becomes extremely laggy and stutters, making it look like a...

I play Apex Legends and Rocket League mainly and these games are proper lagging, RL to the point where I can't even play it. Just trying to find out why, I have built my own PC, pretty sure its nothing to do with the specs of the PC but I will put my specs below. I'm thinking it's to do with the...

[Moderator edit: Changed font to bold in Solutions #7 below to add emphasis.] How my issue started It started first while I was playing RDR2. I tend to play all my games on maximum settings with Ray Tracing as Ive a 4080 and I really wanna see how far can I take it with games. So while...

Almost forgot I ordered it. Who knows how long it has been sitting outside but for the price, it turned out great. It's IMO not a usable kit as it has a not great feeling soft touch texture and dirt magnet. There are some misaligned gaps but is what it is from eBay. For me it will be a display...

Is the Ryzen 9 9950x still a strong workstation CPU I was curious whether the future upgrade path would be good because I heard rumors about AM6 being released in 2027 or if there is another CPU that I would go with for like a lot of work and some heavy gaming, maybe like an Intel CPU would be...

Hi everyone 👋 I’m thinking of upgrading my CPU (I think that’s what needs doing) I’m a little clueless if I’m honest, I have a 1440p monitor, I’ve noticed a few of the newer games coming out tend to drop frames here and there. I don’t know if this is due to the hardware in my PC or the way...

I play 2 games that are capped to 60fps which is usually fine but recently I've been wanting to use G-sync for screen tearing reasons. One of the games works fine with G-sync and I can Alt+tab and leave it in the background with no issues and still use my PC at 165hz. The other game however...

How far have we actually gone? Back in the day (2009-2011) RAM was 4 to 8 GB in gaming systems and GPU VRAM was generally between 1-2 GB in the high-end sector. What is terrific in retrospect is that with 4 GB system RAM and 1 GB VRAM on a high-end card you could play games at 1600x900 or...

Hi, I've built my first PC in August 2024 and have only been running Linux up until this point with no issues - both day-to-day tasks, my development workflow and gaming. Last week I moved my Linux install to a new, larger SSD and installed Windows 11 on the old one to try playing CS2 on...

My Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 has been making this buzzing / hissing noise lately. I don't know how to describe it, something electrical maybe, or from a fan, idk. When I try to listen closely over the keyboard, it seems to be coming more from the right side of the laptop. As far as I can tell, it...
