It sounds like you're running into an issue where your GPU can't balance rendering frames and encoding the video stream fast enough at the same time, so it prioritizes rendering instead. If you get a 4K60Pro Mk2 you will be in the same spot with a lighter pocket, since they also require the use of hardware encoding (technically you can get away with CPU encoding if you use OBS IIRC but that is a stupid idea).
If I were you, I'd go through the hassle on a per-game basis of finding what framerate it runs at more or less normally, and then setting a cap maybe 20FPS below that. 110FPS is better than 60FPS, after all.

The timings are about as good as you'll find for a 6000 rated kit, and it's relatively cheap. You really should be going for DDR5 if you can because they have gotten cheap, and aiming for a kit based on Hynix memory is ideal (these are the low latency kits like 6000 CL30, 6400 CL32, 7200 CL34, 8000 CL38, etc.)
If you want to do some manual tuning, you can save $20 and get effectively the same kit with this TeamGroup kit:
Also used RAM is a thing, and used DDR5 kits can be pretty cheap in the 6000 CL30/32 speed bin. I've seen kits for $50 and lower, so basically the same price as cheap DDR4.
Heyo what the fuck, that SP kit didn't show up the last time I was looking at RAM... I'm erect.

You can't really go wrong with this stuff. If I'm not mistaken it's one of the cheaper 32GB kits out there, yet it's fast and has pretty alright timings. If I ever get money/ambition to ditch 12th gen Intel it's what I'll be using.

The gulf between 4th and 6th gen is embarrassingly small because it was during the "We don't need to do better because what are you going to do, buy AMD?
" years at Intel. Honestly in IPC Zen+ is pretty even with 4th gen Intel. I just retired my 4950HQ system for a 4350G and CPU wise they're pretty matched but the 1650S is a wee faster than the 4GB GTX 960. The 4950HQ was overclocked a bit where as the 4350G isn't at all but they feel about the same, slight edge to the 4350G tho maybe since it's got faster RAM but the Intel was rocking 16GB of 1866. Meh. I'll miss the cool factor of a laptop CPU overclocked in a desktop board a lot and the idle/low load power use was amazing. Idled under 1W!
I notice it, surprisingly. My only comparable CPUs of reference have been a 3770, 4820K, 4690K, and 6400, but each one (minus the 4820K) have a noticeable boost in perceived responsiveness.

The good news is that’s still nearly two years away, and the oldest compatible platforms will be even cheaper by then. None of the people that will need builds are gamers, as long as their hardware will be supported for a while it’s all good.
Realistically, the security requirements aren't even that big of a deal as long as the workarounds remain for them (which they probably will for quite a long time). My current capture PC is an OptiPlex 9020 with a 4690K and Windows 11 runs just fine on it. It doesn't feel as fast as my Precision 3420 with the 6400 that runs Windows 10, which is expected given it's Skylake, however it's also got faster RAM (1333MHz? DDR3 vs 2133MHz DDR4) and an NVMe SSD instead of some random ass SATA SSD. That might change though since at some point in the next year I plan on also getting that system onto Windows 11...

I have literally run the EPS cable between the motherboard and the case itself (old prebuilt cases don't have cable management after all) and it served me just fine since I didn't stab through the insulation.
You're more than safe lol

The market here in the U.S. is similar, though for most of the foreseeable builds, an 8th or 9th gen Intel or say a 3400g would be good enough; Most of these people do very basic computing tasks, but they’re also less savvy and so the need for a modern OS with protections is the most important thing rather than the newest platform.
For reference, one of the builds has a triple-core Phenom II chip in it, and another has a 4th gen Xeon, something like a 3400g or 8400 would be a good upgrade in performance too, especially since NVMe storage even good DRAM drives are relatively cheap, same with reasonably-quick DDR4 2x8gb kits.
Honestly, even going as far back as Haswell i5's and i7's are surprisingly competent, so long as you aren't trying to run FS2020/CP2077/CSII on 'em. I'm very excited because here soon I should have the 6700K and GTX 970 that are on their way to me, and it should make for a very interesting build. I fully plan on kicking my 12600KF and RTX 2080 largely to the curb for a couple days since realistically, they'll cope just fine until I whip out the games I've been playing as of late.

Strictly bent fins are fine. The only time they're a problem is if they somehow get bent so badly that they crack/tear the tubes the fluid actually flows through.
Well, or if it looks like a little kid encountered an air conditioner condenser for the first time. That would also be a problem. IYKYK

It showed up as a 1060 6GB in GPU-Z, still strange... why would it show up as a 5GB card in the benchmark???
It's always possible that the benchmark for, whatever reason it might have, only counts the available VRAM at the time you started the bench.

Yeah... My older builds totally never go online...

The Dimension 3000 will be almost entirely unusable unless you spend your entire day in Microsoft Office. The second you try to take it online you'll be actively attempting to break your skull open on the nearest semi-solid surface.

Fuck that and fuck them, install windows 7.
I'm going to be building a funny stupid 6700K build here soon (TLDR is it's a 6700K, Z170 DDR3 board, 32GB of 1866C10 RAM, and probably a GTX 970), and if not for the fact that I reeeeeealllllly want to try shit like FH4 on it I'd just install 8.1 and let it be.

My workstation has a couple slots that run at 4x unless a 2nd CPU is inserted, then they run at full 16x. Pretty neat concept that consumer boards could absolutely implement, dynamically allocating lanes based on what card is in what slot.
I'm pretty sure they do. If I'm not mistaken with boards that have Gen4 M.2 slots, they dynamically allocate lanes depending on if it's a Gen3 drive and just generally how many lanes you're using in general.

I'm now in the top 350! What a lovely Christmas gift for me
Meanwhile I'm just happy that I should hit 20,000 on our team by the end of the day today. Poor little M1 Mac Mini putting in WORK.

That's not entirely abnormal with how GPUs operate now. I'm pretty sure my GPU is "rated" at 215w, yet with stock behavior it's pretty common to see anywhere from 230w to 250w.
-
My parental got me these guys for Christmas. Certainly a nice upgrade from the stock GX browns that my G Pro X had, these guys made it way quieter and a bit deeper pitch like I had hoped. I kind of miss the tactile-ness since these are linears, but I'm sure eventually I'll get used to it. Pre-lubed is love, pre-lubed is life.

there are 4070 low profile cards tho, for example?
i mean, i dunno if this is a good deal, but i think ya'll dismissed it way too fast.
I'm pretty well versed in small PCs. The fastest bus-powered cards you're fitting in there are a Quadro RTX A2000, 1650 Super, RX 6400, or A380, the latter two of which will be severely limited by the fact that it's a 6 year old platform that doesn't support things they need to perform correctly. You could, technically, fit the Gigabyte RTX 4060 LP in there, but you'd need to find a TFX PSU with adequate wattage/connectors, and then adapt the ever loving hell out of it since Dell stopped using standard power connectors starting with Haswell.

A single 8 pin can output 200w+ easy so it shouldn’t be any problem for a 1070.
Yeah and even higher-draw 1070's really aren't that bad. My 1070 AMP typically sat at 170-180 if I remember correctly which is totally fine across an 8-pin plus the bus.

Rated tdp and actual cooling capacity is wildly different as tdp is kinda meaningless number
For CPUs themselves sure, but AFAIK coolers are at least in the correct general ballpark.
-
Realistically all of the wrinkles with Zen have been ironed out for a while now, even the AM5 growing pains seem to be over with for the most part. Personally I also plan on ditching Intel sooner rather than later, I'm sick and tired of my mobo and quite frankly, even with the better scheduler of Windows 11 the BIG.little architecture is ass. I love my 12600KF, it's a perfectly performant little guy, but the biggest issues with it are that the scheduler fuckin sucks especially when it comes to VMWare and Steam downloads. I've also noticed that Photoshop in particular acts funky even if I set the affinity to only use the P-cores.

Pure rock 2 is a 120mm tower, right? It figures... I would get it if I could fit it in my case
That is the "ONLY issue" with my setup, otherwise I could get N number of coolers, AIOs whatever...
I need a "decent enough" cpu cooler UNDER 140mm....
Yup, 120mm with a total height of 155mm. However, the rated TDP is only 20w higher than the Slim sibling, so I don't see any reason why you'd have issues with it either. I've also run an AXP90-X53 on my CPU just recently, and it also did just fine. Sure, it got toasty (90-95C) and a bit loud until the TDP limit kicked in, but after that it was smooth mid-80s sailing with a very bearable amount of noise. It was realistically quieter than an Xbox One X which is just fine.
-
I had a regular Pure Rock 2 on my 12600KF and it did just fine, though I'm also not one of the people that throws a dirty 5.2GHz OC on it because diminishing returns are stupid lol. When I still used that my CPU would draw 135-140w under a worst-case scenario load, and even though the fan curve was lazy for silence it still kept things under 80.
-
Theoretically you could just run R15, R20, and R23 and see what it does. Don't rely on just one of them though: My 12600KF was stable in R15 when my power limit kicks in but not R20.

Is DLSS Worth It?
in New Builds and Planning
Posted
DLSS even on my 2080 is truly incredible when the scene works well with it. Lately in Ghostwire Tokyo I have an issue where performance shits the bed until I reboot, so I have to go from quality DLSS to ultra performance, which means it renders at sub-720p... and it generally looks better than native 720p as long as there isn't rain.
