    The Outer Worlds (New Obsidian RPG)

    And if you had a clue then you would know that your 6700k is NOT a meaningful bottleneck here and not the cause of your hitching. You are getting the same hitching that me and some others have reported and it has nothing to do with hardware. But hey instead of just admitting that you blame your...

    The Outer Worlds (New Obsidian RPG)

    What kind of idiotic reply is that? Are you truly so fucking stupid that you can't comprehend that most people don't like screen tearing and not every monitor has freesync/gsync? And you even admit to having the same hitching that I'm having but you are ignorantly blaming your CPU. :rolleyes:

    The Outer Worlds (New Obsidian RPG)

    I have not felt a Borderlands vibe from this game at all.

    The Outer Worlds (New Obsidian RPG)

    The problem is not just with vsync. Having vsync on simply makes the hitches more noticeable. It is not horrible just annoying as I did not spend all this money on hardware to have a subpar experience at only 1440p.

    The Outer Worlds (New Obsidian RPG)

    Hard to tell if trolling or genuinely stupid. AGAIN there are others with the exact same problems so no it is not my goddamn pc. People playing without vsync on probably will never notice the hitches though. EDIT: And if that is your current pc in your sig then you would have no clue how a game...

    The Outer Worlds (New Obsidian RPG)

    I guess all of you are oblivious to the random little hitches and framerate drops? There are some others on the official forums reporting the exact same thing so dont say its just me. It has nothing to do with the game being demanding as it happens even during modest gpu usage. The game is quite...

    Waste if money?

    There are people with even worse systems that think they're fine because they don't know any better or they really don't give a damn. That absolutely changes nothing about an older 4 core/ 4 thread CPU not being very suitable for using with something like a 5700 XT.

    Waste if money?

    Yep we will definitely disagree. I just upgraded from an oced 4770k so I might have some actual real world perspective instead of just talking out of my rear end. Even my overclocked 4770k could not maintain 60fps in some games and when I tested several games with hyper-threading off the...

    Waste if money?

    Well thanks for proving exactly what I thought about you when it comes to having any sense at all. So in that brain of yours you think newer faster cards "always" cost more money? Even this crappy over priced generation of cards still gave you more performance for the dollar except for some of...

    Waste if money?

    There is no logic in that if he does not have plans to upgrade the cpu very soon. If he does not upgrade the cpu for a year or so then we will have faster cards out for less money and he would have accomplished nothing at all as a cheaper card would have given him the same playable performance...

    Waste if money?

    It is dumb as hell to buy a video card that will perform no better than a cheaper one will because the rest of the system is not up to snuff. Pairing a 5700xt with an old 4 core/ 4 thread cpu would be beyond stupid. That cpu will be fully pegged nearly the whole time in most modern games and...

    Dilemma...PG278Q with 980ti or RX 5700 XT

    Prices are jacked right now but the MSRP on the MSI Gaming X 2070 Super is $515 and something like the Gaming X 1080 ti was $750 back when it came out. And not sure what you mean by less performance as the 2070 Super is a hair faster overall...

    Upgrading GPU on an old computer/CPU, best choice to avoid bottleneck?

    You are being a little ridiculous. A 2070 Super and 1080 Ti are essentially even so again what did you expect to hear? And even if one of those cards were a few % faster that does not mean a thing in the overall scheme of things. Yes your cpu will hold back any card around that level and as I...

    Upgrading GPU on an old computer/CPU, best choice to avoid bottleneck?

    Well then you have your answer and I am not sure what you expected to hear. Did you really think a stock 3770k would not be a " bottleneck" for a 2070 Super? And of course people are going to suggest you upgrade that old platform and give suggestions on what to go with as that is what makes...

    Upgrading GPU on an old computer/CPU, best choice to avoid bottleneck?

    And some people have "no problem" playing on an i3 or using a gtx 750 ti. Just because you are not bothered or oblivious does not change what I said. And Wolfenstein Youngblood is not the least bit cpu intensive so that is poor example. His stock 3770k will be pegged quite often in many if not...

    Upgrading GPU on an old computer/CPU, best choice to avoid bottleneck?

    Your setup is over 7 years old and you do not want to build a new pc? Well you would be foolish to put a modern $500 gpu in there and think you will get any where near full use out of it in newer games. My oced 4770k was fully pegged quite often in most modern games and could not even hold 60 or...

    Oculus Quest Virtual Link (PC Mode)

    It will not be going above the 72. And what do you mean by resolution will be the same? Same as the Quest? No it will not be using the the full resolution based on what has been said so far.

    AMD possibly going to 4 threads per core

    AMD possibly going to 4 threads per core

    You called him in denial and the comment he was replying to was mentioning that Ryzen was faster clock for clock at everything including gaming. It is NOT faster clock for clock in gaming and at the same 4.0 clocks Intel beat or in worst case matched Ryzen in the Hardware Unboxed article. And I...

    AMD possibly going to 4 threads per core

    Sorry but this BS that Ryzen is faster than Intel clock for clock in everything needs to stop. Those idiotic "not an apple fan" and "moore's law is dead" youtubers claim Ryzen is 13% faster than Intel clock for clock and that is horseshit especially in gaming. Hardwareunboxed did a video running...

    I need a video card suggestion please

    Well you can do the simple math and see that your video card contributes VERY little to that power bill. Any card that's an upgrade would still be using within around 50 Watts or so of what you already use so you're talking about something that is nearly meaningless in the whole scheme of things.

    I need a video card suggestion please

    I don't care where he lives or what he pays for electricity as the actual difference in going with a card that uses even 50 watts less isn't going to make a measurable difference in an electricity bill a month.

    Gtx 1080 and i74770k upgrade advice

    I never said "unplayable". That is subjective but looking at the context here he is wanting very high framerates and he has a high refresh rate screen so a 4770k certainly cannot deliver what he is wanting. I would just go with a 9900kf and in fact that is exactly what I did and sold my...

    Gtx 1080 and i74770k upgrade advice

    A 4770k is not even acceptable for maintaining 60 FPS in some games much less being adequate for 165 Hertz monitor that he has.

    Gtx 1080 and i74770k upgrade advice

    You would definitely be wrong as the CPU upgrade itself would deliver vastly more performance than just a memory speed increase. An overclocked 4770k does fine in most games but there are several games where can't come close to maintaining 60 or even 50fps and the CPU is fully pegged. In some...

    AMD agrees to cough up $35-a-chip payout over eight-core Bulldozer advertising fiasco

    It was most certainly garbage compared to the competition. Go look at the reviews on techspot as Intel at only 2.5 could match or beat the best from AMD at the time even at well over 4 ghz. Hell even the 2 core i3 cpus crapped all over the fastest bulldozer in most games.

    Gtx 1080 and i74770k upgrade advice

    You might want to start checking that GPU usage when you're dropping below 60 in any game as I can tell you for a fact that it is mostly going to be the fault of your CPU. There wasn't a single game out there that I was dropping below 60 due to my GPU not being fast enough at 1440p unless it was...

    rtx 2070 419 AMIR

    A 2070 at 420 bucks is the same performance per dollar as the 2060 Super is a 400 bucks since the 2070 is 4-5% faster depending on the res according to techpowerup. I would just get the 2060 Super though as there is no silly rebate to worry about. Does the 2070 even come with the two game promo?

    Struggling to decide - 2070S vs 5700XT?

    And maybe you should be worried that a tiny little die ends up using more power than the much bigger die on the 2070 Super which is also a slightly faster card to boot. https://tpucdn.com/review/powercolor-radeon-rx-5700-xt-red-devil/images/power-gaming-average.png What magical world do you...

    3900x available on Newegg

    The guy is acting like it made a huge impact on temps in his room as he says "I barely have to use a fan on me since I dropped my 6700k for a 3700x". Only a fool would think that 30 watts would make any real measurable difference in your room temp. And what does this have to do with AMD or a...
