Just experiment and judge for yourself. But 1080p on a 1440p screen generally looks pretty blurry.

Bottleneck tester, what an awful concept.

It's about on par. And as someone who upgraded from a 4.2ghz 4670K to a 2600X, you're wrong. The i5 quads are on their last legs.

This comment comes with the usual caveats: - There is always a bottleneck in a system. - It does not mean the gameplay is bad. That having been said, that CPU is going to struggle in modern games to provide an adequate framerate. And at 1080p the added benefit over cheaper cards will be fairly minimal. But it's not a 60fps CPU in modern games, so ask yourself if it's a system worth investing in. I recently moved from a 4.2ghz 4670K, and even that had difficulty hitting 60fps in modern games like Deus Ex Mankind Divided or Rise of the Tomb Raider.

No you don't, that's probably VCCIN.

That's a lot of assumptions based on a whole load of nothing. Before you start flinging parts at it, please actually check what is going on. No offense.

No he's made the same fucking post 4 times now. What is it with this website and bot accounts making phony posts. Is it people that actually think it's funny, or Linus making his forum more popular than it actually is.

Or you can spend 30 minutes also wasting your time. V-sync is usually on by default.

Post the results from the benchmark. But also run this in the background. From "Collecting the information." in the topic.

Hence i said pretty sure. I'd still wait for them to come around and see how well they have their BIOS in order.

Stop giving this advice please, someone with your postcount should know better. It's a grugbrain nuclear option that is only reserved till the very, very last. @nitrox0 Can you please take a look at my topic over here. Try out if it's a v-sync issue, and if not, provide information in the explained way. It's very difficult to diagnose otherwise.

Pretty sure the 300-series boards don't all support the new Ryzen 3000 series. It's best to go for 400 series.

It's a laptop, you do not want it to run at 3.9ghz if it doesn't have to. It will cause it to run much hotter then necessary and draw excess battery. Disabling turbo actually hurts your performance, since it will only run at base frequency now. And dispite the fact that a CPU can run at 105C before throttling, running a CPU to 90C during load, back to 30 during idle every day for several times is going to cause it to fail much quicker due to thermal cycle damage. CPU's also use more power the hotter they get. Rule of thumb is 4% every 10 degrees. Please undo whatever it is that you did and explain why this is important to you. Are you experiencing performance issues?

Seeing as it's not throttling, i'd say windows is set to power save mode. EDIT: set it to balanced, don't choose high performance.

Usually VR is pretty dependent on the GPU due to the high resolution. And VR games are designed to have lower geometry and LOD to hit a 90fps target. I'd say given the 8 threads and the resolution you should at least aim for the minimum required specs for VR when it comes to GPU. A 590 is not more powerful than a GTX 1080 though. A 1060 or 590 does meet the required spec for VR, so if your budget allows for it, go with either one. And try to squeeze in 16GB, instead of 8GB. 8GB is a tad on the lower side these days. 3000mhz of 16GB would be better than going for high end 3200mhz memory and being only able to put in 8GB.

You want to hook up POWERED speakers to an amplifier? That's now how it works. Just hook up the speakers to the vinyl player directly?

Turn on a framerate limiter on minecraft at like 120fps.

The lore is pop-culture references that will not age well.

Hey, can you add information as illustrated in this topic? https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/894384-stutters-framedrops-lag-how-to-provide-detailed-information-with-your-bottleneck-question-as-well-as-a-few-solutions/ You can also check to see if it's just a v-sync issue.

Hmm, and here I thought P= U*I. So if wattage is irrelevant, that means amperage is as well. Truly a big brain at work here. I'm not recommending a cheap-ass 500W, obviously adhering to some expected level of quality or use of an a-brand. But even among those, the platforms they use can differ. And between A-brands, the amount of amperage can differ on the 12V rails. Like using multi-rails, or single rails. Having either the full 33A or merely 30A (360W) for example. The reason I said 500W is three-fold. A. because system power consumption with this card is pretty close to 400W. B, if you have an a-brand 500W, there is more tolerance that can be had on the amount they opted to go for on the 12V rails. They could have gone for the full 42A, but also much lower like 35A. Or even multi-rail setups. Unless you already know about how these platforms are built-up, it's safer to pick a decent grade 500W. You can't expect any layperson so understand electronics, and you're only making it harder on everyone with this elitist attitude. C, the 500W are usually cheaper, because they ship larger volume (most people err on the side of caution). Or at the least, not much different. This is only truely an interesting argument/scenario for OEM's shipping large quantities of units. That by shaving off a few $ it is multiplied over all sales. Don't tell me to not say something if these are your arguments, and try to size up your opponent next time, lest you get caught out flailing publicly like this.

Only on specific models. It's safer to just recommend 500, so you don't have to start talking about 12V rails and amperage.

I just meant the heatsink (your cooler) that is mounted on the CPU. Anything that is attached to the mainboard with it's seperate inertia will have wanted to break away from the board due to the stress/force of dropping. Any of those connections can be bad now. For example the PCI-E slot could have some broken connections. The CPU mounting bracket could have gone bad. The thermalpaste could have been old and if the heatsink shifted for a split second it could have fractured old paste.

Not sure about Gen3, but Gen1 and Gen2 scale quite well with faster memory and tighter memory timings. Especially tRFC.

Not delidding, just take off the heatsink and repaste lol.

Did you build the system yourself or was it a pre-built?
