[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...

I've recently bought an Asus Vivobook M1603QA, it comes with 8GB of RAM soldered onto the motherboard, the RAM is running at 3200mhz and no information on the CAS. The laptop also has a slot to add one more stick of RAM, I'm sure 99% of 3200mhz 8GB RAM sticks I would buy would work but what...

I got a Ryzen 9 9900X on a good deal! I thought it was perfect till I heard about the X3D cards. I'm an avid high-end gamer who wants to play on the best ultra settings as well as a video editor. I'm thinking of returning it for a Ryzen 9800X3D but it's about 140 dollars more. Questions: Is...

I get a choppy framerate when I'm capped at 240 fps. But it's silky smooth when I cap it at 120 fps. In general, I'm able to reach an average of 180 fps, but it doesn't feel smooth when the in-game limiter is set to 240 fps. The weirdest part is that this issue goes away if I'm using keyboard...

I know that for overall gaming the Ryzen 9800X3D is the go-to solution but most reviews do not benchmark RTS games such as StarCraft series, Age of Empires series, etc. If I play those games (not 1v1, usually 4v4 or so), should I still go with a 9800X3D or do I have better options...
