I was wondering, can this be done with a 3080 and a 1660, for example, to achieve a similar improvement? Or do the cards need to be in the same 20xx, 30xx, 40xx etc, generation? I do recall seeing some videos on youtube where people paired geforce and radeon cards, and saw improvements.

YES! Do it, if you can hang on eBay or Hamazon. Or go for the 3900XT (XT specifically, it's a 12-core chip), be a nice upgrade.

It's kinda true nowadays. You end up getting the DDR5 RAM for the sane price. And I do mean to spell it as SANE, as in before the price blew up at the end of 2025 (I got a Microcenter about a 40 min drive from where I live in PA, near Philly, so it's all good. Been using them for about 6-7 years...

Holy motha fucking shit! I used to LOVE UT, way back when the original UT 2001/2002 etc came out. I was pretty good at it, considering that I was able to (ONSLAUGHT-Torlan) figure out how to get up on to enemy main tower in a Manta, and hover over the teleporter from below, then instantly CRUSH...

And you made, practically made, a guy on the other end, type ALL THAT SHIT OUT, for what? Blehhhh

Yes, we do! I can't really complain, as the MC store is about a 40 min drive for me, from where I live to St.Davids in or around Philly, in Pennsylvania. They also seem to have some pretty sick combo deals on CPU/RAM/Mobo for both Intel and AMD platforms, but, as I did some research, their AMD...

Alright, I figured out what the problem was in my specific case, and it has nothing to do with the driver or PSU. I took a look inside my PC, and noticed that, at some point a long time ago, my main PCI-E slot has lost the retention clip, so the card itself physically slid out of the slot a few...

Yeah, that was a gigantic frustrating PITA, but after a while, I got my pc to POST and work. What is more annoying, is that it's a socket 1200 Intel system, z590 mobo. Can't get them anywhere but from China these days, and I am not financially ready to change over to the uber-1337 AMD Ryzen X3D...

Eh, I dunno, fellas. I DDUd the nV drivers (after some google searching), and installed 576.28. Set it to "Performance" in the nV Control Panel, and let it go. Seems to be working fine, no glitches, for a few days, so far, with the 850 Corsair PSU and a pny RTX 3070 ti. I will swap in the 3080...

HMM! I am having the same exact problem running 566.36! I had it with an RTX 3080, then I swapped it back to an RTX 3070 ti, and the problem got a bit worse, as in, I have to flip the ON/OFF switch on the PSU a bunch of times before I get a stable video signal, and the machine boots up...

Same 9900x is $359 at my (almost) local MicroCenter: https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=&cat=&Ntt=ryzen+9900x&searchButton=search They also have pretty good bundles for CPU/RAM/Mobo for both platforms, where you can save quite a bit of money.

NO! I thought it was Canada too, at first, but it's California: Ontario is a city in San Bernardino County, California, 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and 23 miles west of downtown San Bernardino. It was founded on December 10, 1891 and named after Ontario, Canada, the hometown of...

Did you try disabling the Macrium Reflect and OneDrive in Startup? Also, what is that iCue? Maybe don't run that. Also, your Firefox and MS Edge are taking up criminal amounts of RAM, close all the tabs. Okay, so iCue is the RGB bullshit software from Corsair. Disable/uninstall it...
