Seeing a massive practical improvement over the 5600X in Grounded with my 3080ti. Shadow of the Tomb Raider has massive CPU improvements benched as well, but it's GPU limited at 4k Ultra RTX so no practical difference in reality. Same for Cyberpunk.
I should be good for another...
The power options are set to high performance and the processor maximum to 100%. That was one of the things I checked, but it shouldn't have been that anyway as the 5600X was boosting no problem. The problem was fixed with a BIOS update to the very latest version. The prior version I had...
So I pulled the trigger on an upgrade for my AM4 platform. I have an Asus Tuf Gaming X570pro WIFI board (BIOS supports the new CPU) that was incubating a Ryzen 5600X with a Noctua NH-D15 cooler and Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz RAM.
Pulled off the cooler, removed 5600X and put in the 5800X3D...
I have gotten several Win10 keys from a seller that is no longer active on the forum, but now I'm looking for another. Is anyone else selling a home or pro Windows 10 key for around $20?
Just upgraded my PC to a Ryzen 5600x and have my prior system guts for sale:
Intel 6600K, OC's stable to 4.7GHz, I ran it at 4.5Ghz for temp and noise reduction. Dellided with conductonaut between the die to IHS, regasketted. Runs at 60-65c at 4.5GHz with an 80f ambient temp cooled by the...
With PBO and +200MHz boost clocks enabled my 5600X hits 85c with a Noctua NH-D15 using Artic MX-5 paste. The temp limit of the CPU is 95c so you're definitely hitting hard throttle temps. Without PBO and +100MHz OC with -10 on the voltage curve it stays under 70c. The performance difference...
Nah, their original posts were NOT helpful to the question at hand. So I went ahead and tested to see if they'd continue posting unhelpful garbage and they sure did. I've solved most of the issues already, and the others are long standing problems in Win10 that remain unfixed (shocking, I know)...

How do I stop Windows 10 from disabling HDMI hi-def audio every time the monitor sleeps, requiring me to reinstall the driver to get sound from my receiver?
Why do some of the system tray icons become blurry and unusable after the monitor sleeps and how do you stop that? I need...
Thanks Chris, my last attempt was starting with the known good boot image that worked (made with gigabyte's USB boot disk tool that includes NVME and USB3) and slipstreaming SP1 and the cumulative security update roll-out into that with NT-Lite to create a new ISO, which I then used Rufus to...
So I worked on assembling my own ISO that fits the above description, and it ultimately failed to boot properly. I have a USB boot disk that I used the gigabyte tool to load up USB3 and NVME drivers that DOES work, but it only gives me Win7 and DOES NOT have SP1 with the cumulative roll-out...
I play Doom to quick-scope headshot Imps as I launch from a jump-pad, not to play Simon Says to get the right combo to actually kill something with bullets. Oh, and now melee does no damage unless it's "charged"... another new mechanic to an overly stuffed kit. I just want to headshot demons, so...
Yes, in Doom 2016 I favored the Super Shotgun and the Machine Gun with sniper mod as my workhorses. The Rocket Launcher, Gauss Gun, and Gatling Gun were reserved for bosses and mini-bosses, and I largely ignored the Plasma Rifle. In Doom Eternal the devs literally said they don't like players...
Do that or try Afterburner and create a custom fan curve. I added an aftermarket watercooler and fan to my 1080ti, and the fan won't spin under 20% speed from the card.
I had to OC my 1080 heavily in order to just sometimes hit my monitor's max refresh rate of 1440p165. I upgraded to a 1080ti and it hits the refresh rate cap far more consistently. I was seeing 90-120 playing Overwatch on "ultra" with a 4.5GHz 6600k on the 1080. The 1080ti does 120-165. Both...
I'm looking forward to the Doom Eternal MP. I loved playing Spy vs Merc in Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, I loved teaming up with buddies in ME:3 MP for PVE, Overwatch custom games with 6v1 Boss battles are crazy fun.
I can pull out Q3 or QuakeLive anytime I need a real arena shooter. It's...
Hey, look, it's the same thing that I posted in December.
I'd avoid cheater plugs if possible. Get an in-line ground loop noise eliminator if you haven't by now.
I kinda doubt Nvidia paid off some random masters and grand-masters players to astro-turf :)
Paid endorsements from professional players are generally disclosed as well.
That thread has multiple masters rank (top 3% of playerbase), multiple grand-masters (top 1%), and a top 500 ranked player posting in it, all in support of fast refresh as a substantial improvement to their game. It's relevant to listen to their experience as some of the best players in the...
Higher framerates are going to help better gamers more. Take the Overwatch example someone posted earlier, stating they were SR 2500 (Platinum rank). 90% of the player population is in Platinum or under (ranks low to high: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster), 10% are...
