Funny, you posted this right as I was re-downloading the game. I've had it since early access started, then I went thru when it launched fully but the main quest was broken so I deleted it for a year.

BIOS is up to date. The card hasn't had a driver revision since 2020 so getting a new one might not be a bad idea. Interestingly, if I put it in my main rig (also a Gigabyte B650 with a 7800X3D) it doesn't do this, but it does show extremely slow speed tests. Like sitting at the PC my phone gets...

Well I found the problem, it was the TP-link wifi add in card we got from his old rig. I took everything out of the case and built just the bare bones mobo + 1 stick of RAM with nothing else on top of the cardboard box and it worked fine, so I was suspicious of the case and power supply. I moved...

No it has 2 ports, I have tons of cables so I tried both.

Does it all the time. I tried another monitor too. Going to swap the chip to my machine tomorrow and see if it does it there, don't have the time to mess with it any more tonight.

This is a new system for a friend, its based on a microcenter bundle with a 7700X and a Gigabyte B650 mATX board, 64GB DDR5 5600. Originally I was going to put my 7800XT in it but it was too long for the case so to check everything else I used the integrated GPU. When I got it running and into...

This program is one of the only ones that really catches stuff on DDR5. I've had memory overclocks crashing in games that AIDA64, OCCT, Memtest, etc all passed with flying colors but 30 seconds of Karhu pulls errors. I paid the $10 for it. Its running on my other rig right now testing a 6000...

Yeah I agree, I've been using a 27" 160hz 4K from KTC I got on sale for $279. Its pixel perfect, square base stand instead of the disgusting V shaped one, and generally other than having a kind of meh matte coating its exxcellent for the price. I've been thinking about a mini-LED one myself, but...

I think I still have one of these in a box somewhere.

Yeah, nah. 99.9999% chance this is faked and fudged just like literally everything else China copies builds.

Core clock is the base speed of the chip. Boost Clock is the Nivida branding, and it references the general gaming speed you should see, usually quite a bit higher than the core clock. Game clock is AMD's version. Both technologies do the same thing, increasing performance within the thermal...

I tried booting into my spare drive with an installation of Mint on it last week, I was able to update everything, download steam and play helldivers 2 with a reasonable frame rate. I did have some minor texture issues with the game but nothing too bad. The only troubleshooting I had to do was...

AFAIK those backplates are aluminum. I know the one on my Gigabyte 7900XTX is and the MSI 4090 I had for a bit had a metal one too.

You want Memory Context Restore and Power Down enabled. PD is in the advanced memory timings menu at the bottom. If you're under 30 seconds or so, I would call it a win. My ASRock B650 was like 4 seconds to desktop, my current Gigabyte takes about 15-20 seconds. Not like it was at launch taking...

Its a little stiff, you could also just run the GPU in some games for a while with the side of the case off, that'll heat it up too. The nice thing is once its trained into position it stays there nicely.
