    If its not the cord the GPU is probably dying

    I have not seen a driver issue cause anything like this before but maybe that is a thing?
    from the years ive been in the PC world when I see this its either a cable thats not plugged in all the way/damaged or the GPU is towards the end of its life.
     
    You said you hooked up the to MOBO and had no isses so thats a big sign too. Ypou tried another cord and that's another big flag. If you really think its not the GPU put the GPU in another system and test it. But I really do think its the card that needs to be fixed/replaced.
     
    If your card is under warranty send it in. If you bought it second had off I feel for you.
     
    And next time please quote so we can see you replied to use, I just deiced to look back at this post and saw you replied.

    Here's the price list for MSI's B550 line-up: (these are in USD, not including tax)

    Image of the top-of-the-line B550 AORUS Master, which comes in at $279:
     
    So basically, B550 is not the replacement for B450 that we necessarily expected? These boards slot in quite a weird price bracket, and with some B550 boards costing similar or even more than their X570 counterparts, these will be quite a hard sell in my opinion, at least at launch prior to any price cuts.
    Take for example the B550 Tomahawk from MSI, at $179 it lacks onboard WiFi, I would assume it will have weaker VRMs, lacks PCI-E 4.0 lanes from the chipset, while being just $20 cheaper than the X570 Tomahawk, which granted isn't out yet for some reason but is a beast of a board from what we've already seen in reviews, and sits at a $200 MSRP.
    Either we'll see discounts on these boards in the first weeks of launch, or we'll probably see an upwards spike in pricing for X570 boards, which already weren't exactly inexpensive.

    blu4 got a reaction from Not So Great Dane in This might be my new build. Should I change something and why?   
    I was doing research on x570 boards and I did not hear good things about that board. idk what others have to say as I have not used it. I think the VRM cooling was subpar compared to others in the same price rage or even lower cost and maybe the VRM was not the best either I forgot exactly.
     
    But I would suggest to get like a gigbyte aorus elite or TUF. maybe see what others say but GL finding a board in stock rn
     
    the rest looks fine to me

    blu4 got a reaction from Arika in Epicgames   
    I mean you have to ask that to yourself, Do you think you will get $5 worth of enjoyment out of it? or do you think that $5 will give you more joy if you spend it somewhere else?
     
    $5 is pretty cheap for anygame so if the game is good I think its a good price. If yopud rather get it for free and can wait id wait. but if it never goes for free will it still be $5 later? or if it does go free will you be mad that you spent that $5? ask your self this and see.
     
    Personally I only played like 2 hours of TW3, it was fun but not really my game. people say its one of the best open world RPG games.

    blu4 got a reaction from Jasonbas in Bottlenecked????   
    could use a new cpu yes.
     
    when gaming you want the CPU to be lower than the GPU, if the CPU runs higher or 100% and the GPU is not its a bottleneck
    You want the GPU running higher than the CPU (load wise)
     
    atleast I think thats the way it works. Its been a few years since Ive had to explain that.

    If I was in your shoes id get a whole new rig im not sure how good that GPU is maybe someone else can say that
    I think it would bet better to get on the current gen systems. especially for 144hz

    blu4 got a reaction from marmour in first time build help   
    ah thanks for that info. Maybe its fine then. But I think if you have the money to future proof as much as you can why not? I see he has a $80 board so maybe hes just doing budget build. but the future will thank him big time

    Less about age and more about experience. I bet those "boomers" are probably better at taxes and driving than you are simply because they have more experience.
