Hi, Just got hold of a Rx 6600 from Msi (Msi Mech 2x OC 8G) and its advertised boost speed is 2491Mhz but sometimes in heavy load scenarios I see it hitting way above that @2690Mhz ish. Is this normal behaviour for AMD RDNA2 ? Should I worry much as the card is only 1.5days old. Drivers are...

So I bought this laptop used last night and it worked fine until I tried actually changing the resolution in settings or in a game. I clicked "Advanced Display Settings" and saw: This is really weird mainly because whilst writing this, the GPU is detected and drivers are installed. Now I've...

Since moving to college I don’t use my home PC much anymore (its about 5/6 years old), I usually turn off the power supply using the switch and unplug it from the wall to protect it from power surges while I’m gone. After getting home and not having used it for about a month I turn everything...
