So I recently got a new card 7800XT & I was going though previous orders & to my surprise, they retained my records since account creation. Other sites have purged it. Still can't get over the fact I was able to buy X1950 Pro for less than 100...

Just to expand on this a bit - liquid electrolytic capacitors are problematic because the electrolyte dries out. How fast this happens is strongly related to temperature. The small capacitors on the low-voltage side of a PSU can get very hot...

I started having horrible frame pacing issues at the same time as seeing those event viewer messages (probably from a physical TPM failure). I wasn't able to resolve it using my normal troubleshooting methods (clean installs of AMD chipset...

So I've been out of the PSU arena for a while. Has there been any improvements? Have PSUs finally moved to totally solid state design? As in no more liquid capacitors

I recommend uninstalling the old version completely. Go to add/remove programs, look for Gameinput Service and uninstal it. Recommend following this. There's a TY guide as well...

UPDATE: So the cause may not have been the GPU, but rather by Microsoft Game Input Service Conflict. See attachment. I JUST uninstalled the older version. Unfortunately the 2070 Super is no longer in my PC so can't confirm this. But at least the...

Run GPU-Z and check the 12v inputs on the sensors page, while playing a game. Check for the minimum seen voltage.

Replaced the card and in my sleep deprived state, I booted it without connecting the PCI cables Could I have damaged the card? I know modern cards are fool proof, but still....

Identical. Around 75-78C. Dried thermal paste did cross my mind, but that would heat up the GPU & throttle its performance OCCT tests were an hour each. So were valley & heaven. But ran Superposition for several hours Also, the older game I...

I'm sure someone said the same thing about the RTX 3090, and then 2080 Ti before it, etc. The Blackwell project was probably started well before the 4000 series launched, maybe even before the 3000 series launched. Nvidia tends to have many...

So I've been using the 2070 Super (MSI Ventus) for nearly 4 years & it worked fine till few months ago. While playing older & newer titles, system freezes at random & the GPU fans ramps up. Upon checking Event Viewer, I always see Nvidia or...

I can't pin point the cause & inc extreme stutter. Happens on FF forks as well. I didn't change anything before the upgrade. Yeah I did and opted for minimal. But wondering if I'm missing out or are there any performance/stability difference...

PC nerd by nature, but I haven't used an AMD GPU in over 10 years. Haven't had an all AMD PC for nearly 20 years. Things have drastically changed and I have questions. Since upgrading to 7800XT, first thing I noticed was when I go to YouTube via...

Is it worth replacing or?

Hi Got my 7800 XT Nitro today & noticed something off about the fins. They seem rough, one fin was slightly crooked (corrected it manually). Is this normal? Card is brand new sealed. No damage to the box.
