One thing I’ve noticed is that after upgrading from a 3070 to the 7900XT, the performance increase hasn’t...
I am thinking of upgrading my SSD but I don't know the compatability. What is its max capacity? What is its PCIE generation/version; is it gen 3 or gen 4? Thanks.

I have an older Threadripper CPU and I am unable to upgrade to Windows 11.
With the end of security updates to Windows 10 happening next October just wondering if that means I should anticipate having to buy a new CPU?
Or continue on Windows 10 without security updates?

My new graphics card produces a lot of coil whine, and I suspect my PSU might be the cause. I checked the voltages with HWiNFO, and it shows a reading of ~9/10V on the +12V rail. From what I understand, that’s bad and could potentially damage my components over time. My system consists of a...

I currently have an Asus TUF RTX 3070 Ti, but got a good deal on a used RTX 3080 Ti FE.
I see that the TUF 3070 Ti is clocked higher than the 3080 Ti FE.
Does this mean the TUF 3070 Ti will perform better than the 3080 Ti FE?
Need help regarding this. Thanks
