I have noticed a phenomenon that certain games experience much less micro stutter and better frame time consistency in general if I turn on ultra low latency mode in the Nvidia control panel. This is strange to me because I thought the conventional wisdom was the prebuffering more frames was supposed to reduce stutter, not the other way around. However I am positive that this setting has this effect in certain games. Usually its games with weird cpu usage issues, such as Warhammer 3 total war and Star Citizen. I am curious if anyone knows why this is, and what games it will work best in other than these titles.

I don't follow

This is my PSU, which I aquired in 2012: https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-silent-pro-gold-series-rsc00-80gad3-us-1200w/p/N82E16817171055?Item=N82E16817171055 It is a 1200 cooler master 80 plus gold. I bought this many years ago when I didnt know as much aboue power supplies and decided to overbuild to be safe. As it turns out, this might be the reason it has lasted so long since it has never been close to the 1200 watt rated load. My hardware over the last decade has changed thusly, including my most recent upgrades which are what made me even notice this. Otherwise I would have not ever realized it was a decade old: 2500k + 680.......>4670k+295x2.......>4670k+1080........>8600k+3080.......>12600k+3080. I have had 1-4 SSD/HDD at any given time. I never overclock. 32gb of ram. The two big questions are: How high is the risk of random failure? How high is the risk of PC damage if it fails?

So I figured out my problem. Such a dumb oversight that cost me about 8 hours. The problem was that I had a HDD plugged in. Either that drive is dying or the HDD is just too slow for the windows installation program. What think was happening is that the drive was too slow and was hanging up the entire windows 10 installation setup.exe because I suspect that one of the first things that program tries to do is inventory all available drives. So it kept getting stuck on the HDD. So after removing my HDD everything worked.

bios says its detecting all 32 gb of ram? doesnt that mean its good to go?

I have tried that a couple of times and also on different usb drives.

I just got a z690 DDR4 from msi and a 12600k. I power it on, and everyting in bios checks out. No cpu/ram/or video card errors based on it all coming up in bios and the mother board lights ticking off as it detects each. So I dont think i damaged any hardware. But when I got to install windows, I just get a blue screen. Not a error code, just the same color blue that normally comes up during windows install, but no interface comes up to let me install. Just one big blank blue screen. I am trying to install windows 10 64 bit.

I have an Asus PG287Q. GTX 1080. Second monitor is a Dell 27 inch IPS display designed for accurate color work whose designation I dont remember. It is 60hz and is not Gsync. Recently I have been having alot of eyestrain when playing games. In certain first person shooters I could not focus or track targets. When playing hearts of Iron 4, my eyes would get absurdly tired, to the point where they were watering and I had to strain to read. It was very weird and I could not figure out what it was. Went to my eye doctor to have my prescription updated, but this didnt help. I have only had the PG287Q for about a year and initially did not use Gsync much due to stutter caused by having two monitors. By running my 60hz panel off the integrated GPU, I felt I had fixed the stutter issue. A few months ago I did this and then went full G-Sync on my 287Q all of the time. After some time I started noticing eye strain but didnt connect it to the Gsync. I noticed the problem today as I was watching a youtube video with alot of movement on my 60hz display and noticed that I was not having any issues tracking the fast paced action. This was immediately interesting because the day before when I had watched the same scene I had felt that I was having issues tracking the high speed scenes. So I immediately wondered it it was Gsync related. I turned it off and set it to fast sync fixed refresh as global on the PG287Q in the nvidia control panel. I then started testing the games that game me the most issues. Before, I had noticed that some games were giving me more problems than others. Some shooters would be unplayable for me since I could not focus right. Others were fine. After I went to fixed refresh I suddenly had no more issues. Notable about the same that were giving me eye-strain with G-Sync on: -All of them had lower frame rates. -All of them had highly variable frame rates. In particular hearts of iron 4, which as the game goes on suffers from highly erratic and low frame rates. If you watch the frame time graph in this game late game it becomes highly erratic. -Games with lower but consistent frame rates and especially higher and consistent frame rates had been giving me less problems with Gsync on. Has anyone else heard of or experience anything like this?

I finally gave into the shilling and bought a LTT thermos in black with gold circuitry. I have decided to overclock it as soon as I get it and I would like to know what the max safe voltage is. I also am curious what kind of cooling solution I will need if I want to turbo it up to at least 10Ghz. Also: -Should I leave the thrermos on 24/7 or turn it off at night? -Does LTT offer a thermos protection plan if the thermos fails from overclocking? -Will the Thermos bottleneck the LTT underwear?

1) Does the motherboard prevent unsafe voltages for the CPU? 2) Where can I find a official number for the max safe voltage for 8600k 3) If I set a new multiplier and leave Vcore to "auto" will the voltage change automatically or will it remain at the default settings. 4)Where can I find official sources to these questions.

Well you could put the ram on the card, as you said, and I think you could make it upgradable, just have each ram stick install flush with the back of the card. 4 ram slots, with two pointing towards the board and two pointing up. Where are you getting the figure of 20 times the bandwidth? how much bandwidth does a cpu need? Also this is giving me ideas of having a GPU that goes in a cpu-like socket.

Wait so a 2080Ti is currently bottlenecked by the slot?

How much speed would you need compared to PCIe 3.0?

Use the same ram as the rest of the system? If a GPU can share system ram why cant anything else I put on the card? I also imagine that the distribution of work would be similar to how dual socket motherboards do it.
