DakotaWebber got a reaction from Haro in GPU ot full system?
I believe nvidia can now use freesync as well so there shouldnt be any issues with going either side
New amd gpus are set to be released soon too
I doubt you will be bottlenecking your gpu with a 6700k, especially at 1440p where the load is on the gpu more than the cpu
Why are you actually wanting to upgrade? unless youre feeling you really must upgrade I would wait until new hardware is released for better price to performance.

It also looks like there might be thermal paste here

DakotaWebber got a reaction from OdinTheGuy in Need opinion on what build to choose.
Ryzen 3000XT are being released and Ryzen 4000 series are to be released this year, as well as nvidia 3000 potentially in August
If you really wanted to "future proof" as much as possible id wait to get the newer hardware because it would be better for longer
or out of the two you gave, if you really wanted future proofing id get the 2080 Ti and 2tb with 16gb, if you find you need more down the track its cheaper to add in the extra rather than swapping a 2080 Super for a 2080 Ti

DakotaWebber got a reaction from curiousgamer121 in So many different connections, what do they all mean?
1st usb Type c - can be used as an input at displayport 1.4 spec, or an output to another monitor for daisy chaining, can also be used (think of a usb hub) as the input for all the other usb outputs if you dont use the usb type b (downstream)
2nd usb type c - can be used as a normal usb type c connector for more ports (connects to your computer either through 1st type c or usb type b)
3 USB type a - can be used as normal usb ports (connects to computer through either 1st type c or usb type b)
1 USB type B - if you dont use the 1st type c connector, you can use this as the input (again think of a usb hub/dongle) for all the other usbs

DakotaWebber got a reaction from BigRecoiilz in Is it worth it for 32gb of ram for just gaming and multiple other tasks?
You will do fine with 16gb of RAM, id be more concerned about cpu usage
Upgrade to 32 if you have the expendable money, want the bragging rights, and potential future proofing / or to maybe even use in other systems

DakotaWebber got a reaction from Oswin in Corsair M55 vs Razer DeathAdder Elite?
Depends on why you bought the Razer mouse, would you have bought it if the m55 was on sale?
If you bought it because of the price and if price is that important to you then it would be the reasonable thing to return it
However if you bought the Razer because you liked it and not just because of the price then id keep it.
I would prefer to keep the Razer personally but it is ultimately your decision

DakotaWebber got a reaction from WereCat in Minor FPS drops looks unplayable
Definitely frametimes, personal experience with GTA V and my old Pentium, even though it was over 60fps there was constant stuttering as it just couldnt handle displaying it smoothly
Best you can do is try to limit your fps to something your cpu can handle until you maybe upgrade
-
DakotaWebber reacted to WereCat in Minor FPS drops looks unplayable
Bad frame times with that CPU. Its not really suited for high refresh rate gameplay.
You are likely encountering scenarios like for example...
150FPS
But 80FPS get rendered in 300ms, then you have a frame time spike for another 300ms which is the noticeable stutter (basicaly a static picture for 300ms or 0.3s), then the rest of the frames get rendered... so even if you get 150FPS, you dont get them delivered consistently.

DakotaWebber reacted to Stahlmann in 4k vs 2k; (for 2070 super)
2k is plenty sharp for 27" Monitors.
With 4K you wouldnt really be noticing much of a difference but the Performance would tank.
The 2070 Super will struggle very hard to hit even 60 fps in most AAA games at 4K.
Go for 1440p 144Hz. You will gain much more from the higher refresh rate.

DakotaWebber reacted to Exomina in Fan setup in case (Not sure if this is the right place to post)
Its probably time to do a PC dust purge lol. Thank you for answering my questions!

DakotaWebber got a reaction from Exomina in Fan setup in case (Not sure if this is the right place to post)
I mean depends on your case layout, but that sounds like alot of fans anyway, adding or changing the config wont really do much

if you need to support the gpu some more cut up the cardboard from a toilet roll and place it under

DakotaWebber got a reaction from Spotty in Is this a fake graphics card from china or a scam?
Better safe than sorry, there is no shame in asking a question, you would have felt more of an idiot going ahead and buying without checking

DakotaWebber got a reaction from The Great Kamek in Last Gen sound effect qualities
could potentially be the sound compression and formats they used to keep the size as efficient as possible, as well as just generally older sound engines

DakotaWebber got a reaction from BiG StroOnZ in Strange 1080 behaviour
use ddu to fully reinstall your drivers
also try reinstalling your directx
also is it only the app that locks up/crashes? are there error messages? at startup or during play>?
if it persists it may be an issue with the card itself

DakotaWebber got a reaction from Turtle Rig in Gaming keyboard not detected after reboot
sounds like a usb interface initialisation issue on your system, not your keyboard, especially if its working on your other system fine
in device manager go into your universal serial bus controllers and see if you can troubleshoot any issues, update drivers or enable/disable them, or if any have the warning triangle icon for any issues
maybe let the system turn on with the keyboard plugged in and not working and leave it in, navigate to this screen to see if there are any issues
also obviously go into the keyboard tab to see if there are any issues or differences when you unplug and plug it in

DakotaWebber got a reaction from elementL in Microsoft Surface alternatives
there are a few cheaper lenovo yogas, like the yoga 300 (there are non touch models though) that can be folded into a laptop/tablet and you can get some styluses for them, but im not sure if it would have the same experience as a surface
im not sure if you can find it where you are but in aus there is a tablet called the kogan atlas that is like a budget version of a surface
find some refurbished stuff on ebay
