  1. It worked for one night like a charm, and now is totally unusable.
  2. Me too, it helped on Witcher immensely, and now even going around the desktop is a mess, can I simply enter the opposite of these codes?
  3. RAM Prices are also awful when building new at a low budget right now.
  4. You could build a system with a GT 1030, an R5 1500x, and 8 or 16Gbs of RAM for around 600, using the parts you already have, windows 10 makes things significantly more expensive if not purchased from a third party though, should be able to handle photoshop at the very least.
  5. i5's gaming crown is not as solid as the 7700k, And you need wicked cooling in order to get that 4.8-5ghz frequency where the chip is dominant in non-multi-threaded games, not to mention a more expenseive 270 motherboard,. Without overclocking and a 50-100 dollar AIO, the R5 1600 is a clear winner. So get a B350 board, and some 3000mhz ram, and as my previous commenters said, you'll have a rock solid machine for any number of tasks.
  6. Ah, I'm glad that Linus has never lost his inclination towards janky solutions.
  7. FYI, I'm going to run the benchmarks more tonight to make sure that the results are truly repeatable.
  8. In sythnetics, low 80s. Last night when I was playing the Witcher 3 with Fastsync it ran at about 87 degrees Celsius, not great, but little to be done.
  9. It is impossible to change voltage on 10-series laptop cards, this is as good as it is gonna get.
  10. The thing about the 1070 Laptop, is that the core clock is lower then the Desktop card, but the memory clock is pretty much the same, so, I figured that pulling back on the memory that's calibrated for more of a consistent 1900mhz Core Clock, would not hurt performance that much, and I thus far seem to be correct. I'm hoping that someone like Linus, or more likely Gamers Nexus investigate this in detail at some point.
  11. I've noticed something curious, I'm running an Asus Laptop from last year with a laptop 1070 and a Core I7-6700HQ. Anyone who as a laptop 1070 knows how difficult it is for them to hit their boost clock, or even the base clock sometimes. So, knowing that the power limit is hard coded and that I lacked any thermal headroom, it is a laptop card overall. I went out to see if underclocking the memory on the card would improve the stability of the core clock, and it did, reducing the memory clock by 100Mhz and increasing the GPU clock by 100Mhz yielded a 2.6% performance gain in Unigine Heaven, Underlocking the memory further seemed to reduce performance, but I was wondering if anyone has done this before and enjoyed similar performance gains, or if it has been investigated by someone else, a quick google search yielded little information. While this might only mean the difference between 62 and 64 FPS, I think any enthusiast would rather take the 64.
  12. I was once a simple boy, playing games on a computer with a simple moniter, but for a few months I've been playing games on a laptop with a G-Sync screen, I just got a monitor to use with the laptop for productivity reasons, but now, when I play something like Witcher 3 on it, the tearing and the stutter is awful compared to the laptop screen, why has Nvidia forsaken me, why is G-sync so damned good. I assume others out there must share in this experience.
  13. I have an MSI R9 380 4Gb graphics card, that was running fine at 1000 Mhz before the Windows 10 Anniversary update, but now ULPS won't turn off and the whole thing stutters along somewhere between 300 and 1000Mhz, does anyone know how I can fix this? I've already tried turning ULPS off in Afterburner and the Registry, with no luck thus far.
  14. I have an r9 380, might as well take the next logical step foreward.
