I have this habit of opening 3 or more games simultaneously so that way if I ever get tired of playing a game, I just move onto the next one open. I've noticed that when there are 3 games open, specifically Yakuza 6, Team Fortress 2 and Resident Evil 4, the FPS drops especially in RE4, so the...

It's been a long time since I've posted here, so I'm sorry for that. But good news, I have finally built a much-needed new computer to replace my old which had a GeForce 1070 Ti Duke and an Intel Core i7-6700K. At the time, it was decent, and actually still runs current games okay (on all low...
