I noticed this motherboard has a wifi antenna bracket at the back. In the overview it mentions it supports m.2 wifi but it is sold separately. What m.2 wifi is it talking about? I checked the asus website and did a quick google search but only found m.2 cards with no antenna to go in that bracket or m.2 cards on a pcie card. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157924?Item=N82E16813157924

Why is that? Do I use reshade or image filters for what?

I've installed fresh OS multiple times, went through many many drivers, have fast sync enabled and tested different memory. About everything but the CPU and board. What is SO and how could an HDD cause this?

My b350 was an Asus B350-F and my X370 is a Crosshair VI Hero. It seems like after 1 to 2 years, the board starts to degrade... I never OCed or did anything unique.

I did this and found the cpu cores going anywhere from <10% up to around 80%. Don't really know what I am looking for. But an example of what I am dealing with. I was hitting 144 consistently for two games, then the frames dramatically dropped and stayed consistently low (by low I mean around 80 to 110). Then I hear one of my hard drives ramping up and then back down every few seconds, as if it was going bad. I then unplug it and the other HDDs I have starts doing the same thing, until I unplug it. I have my os on an nvme drive and the game is on an SSD, so unplugging my HDDs wasn't a big deal. Another issue that occurs that hasn't yet tonight, is the audio will start crackling and my game will become choppy, as if several frames are being skipped at a time, so it doesn't appear smooth, but the fps counter still reads near or around 100. There was nothing weird going on with the cpu usage, that I could tell or the gpu usage. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited to add..... So I was also running HW monitor this time and just noticed some numbers I think are really weird. Can someone tell me if this is right... At some point, each core (whether at the same time or different times) reached 5441 MHz. I thought Zen+ couldn't go that high.... Core power usage maxed at anywhere between 8.91 W to 10.29W, per core. Is this high?

I was not watching per core. Wasn't using HWM. I just had task manager open on another monitor and replied on the graph history. Is there a program I can use that works like frapps but looks at CPU usage? Would be easier to look at history rather try and check another monitor mid intense fight.

It's also stability issues. So I've done multiple different frequencies from 2133 to 3200, and different timings. None of it changes the issues. The weird thing is I seem to have no trouble in other games. I boot up Rust or CoD and no glitching (but fps is still lower than I am told it should be). Yes. And double checking by asking here. I even have tried a 1080ti in the system and barely get any more fps than with my 1080. Yet I'm not getting what others are getting for a 2700x. I bought a new board (arriving tomorrow) and I'll see if it fixes all the issues, including the fps. If I am not getting the fps I want, even though I do more than game on the machine, I will sell everything and go Intel. I have two modules of 8gb. So I am using dual channel. I have a 144hz monitor, so the fps won't go above 144. It is never at 144 except for menus. So 150 to 200 is impossible for my current system. My last ditch effort (after struggling with this for almost a year at this point and it getting progressively worse) is to get b450 board and see if it's a quality issue with x370/b350. I also had similar issues after a year of using a b350 with a 1700x and replaced both the CPU and mobo to fix the issue. I'll update once I install the new mobo.

Yes. CPU is usually around 50%. It definitely isn't a bottleneck issue. I've done lots of troubleshooting for a very long time now. I just watched this video and now I am thinking that maybe my experience with b350 and x370 has been due to poor quality of parts. Maybe upgrading to B450/X470 will fix it? My system is not fine though. Consistently below 144 unless in menus. This makes me think maybe I should sell off my mobo and cpu and grab intel. Sorry that this detoured from being just about GPUs, in the GPU forum section.

I have been testing for awhile. I have replaced the card already. I am at the point where I either buy a new mobo to replace my current one or I buy a new processor and mobo (probably a i5-10600k). I had a 1700x with a b350 mobo before this current x370 2700x system and it also has issues. Not sure if its because of bad first gen Asus mobos for ryzen or just ryzen in general. All I know is I am sick of instability and not getting my 144 fps.

I've had some issues with this system for awhile. I think the mobo is bad. HDDs disconnect randomly with audio issues and sometimes frame rate issues. And yes, I meant fps to 144. I guess I need to decide if I try replacing the mobo or just sell everything off and build an Intel system.

So then there is possibly something wrong with my system still (other issues posted) that is keeping my 1080 performance from hitting 144. Either that or the Ryzen 2700x is preventing the 1080 from performing. How can I find out?

I have a 1080 paired with a Ryzen 2700x and 16gb memory. On all low settings, at 1080p, should a 1080 yield greater than 144hz? If not a 1080, then what gpu would yield consistent 144hz or greater in Apex Legends (1080p, low settings)? Could an RTX 2060 Super?

I have replaced the graphics card, but problems persist.

So I have a main gaming rig with a 2700x inside. I have also been slowly building a VR rig for the living room. I have all the parts but the cpu. My thoughts have been, I want to upgrade my main rig to a 3000 series. Then I could put the 2700x into the VR rig. But I was not sure if the 2700x is over kill or perfect. Another option is to sell the 2700x and buy a 3100, 3200g or 3300x, saving the difference for a better GPU or something. But are those lower end ryzen chips too low end for VR? The VR rig will have a 1070 inside that will eventually be upgraded to a 1080 mini. The VR rig I currently have is an Oculus Rift. I have been trying to find benchmarks for CPUs in VR but everything I've found so far has been two or three years old. I'd love some opinions and I'd especially love a link to a video or site that has newer cpu benchmarks with regards to VR.

I hear you, but given compatibility, if I went 4000 series, I'd have to upgrade my mobo at the same time. I currently have a high end x370. So my upgrade path is limited. I can replace one component at the time. Then sell the old component and use those funds to get the next. Given this limitations I'd have to get a 3000 series chip, then upgrade to b550, then get the next gen chips when they come out. Or I could upgrade to a b450, but that would require another mobo upgrade after another year.

I remember back in the day, I think GTX 900 time, there were these special VR Edition graphics cards. They would have am HDMI port on the card where it would be located inside the case. It would come with a USB and HDMI 5.25 front panel bay cover that would plug into the motherboard and the HDMI port mentioned above. The benefit was being able to plug in the system from the front instead of in the back, each time you wanted to use your headset. I've been trying to find out if any GPUs are VR Edition but pretty much every GPU comes up when searching since they are all labeled as "VR Ready". I then tried to find the front panel io. The only one still around is made by gigabyte. I can find images of a EVGA version as well. So does anyone know if they still make them? Does anyone have a suggestion on now to properly search for them on eBay or another site?

That kind of sounds like Intel fan boy propaganda. So you would say the 2700x is better than the 3600x (or xt when it comes out)??

I tried to use that calculator to pair the 1080ti with a 3600x and it claims a 12% bottneck. Says the cpu is too powerful for that gpu?? Claims the 1080ti is a great match for the 2700x.

How do you read this? What does 1.52% bottleneck mean?

I am wondering if a GTX 1080ti or maybe even the newer RTX 2080ti, is bottlenecked by a Ryzen 2700x cpu? Is it bottlenecked by a 3600x? I currently have a 2700x. Thinking about upgrading to a 3600xt. I know in the past a 1080ti paired with an i3 (the old two core four thread ones) was considered a mismatch. I guess I am wondering at what point is it no longer a mismatch? For instance, the new i3s are basically the old i7s (4 core, 8 thread). So are new 10th gen i3 processors no longer a mismatch for high end GPUs???

It appears the problem is gone after a fresh windows installation. I still need to test but it didn't cut out during a single match of Apex Legends.

850w EVGA G1 Gold Yes, that is why everything goes black instead of switching to on board. The 2700x is not OCed. The GPU had a mild OC but was removed awhile ago when problems started occuring. I did try underclocking the gpu, hoping it would let me play with lowest settings but that didnt work either.

I've been having trouble with my system before this. Posted on here previously. See shorturl.at/NRS01 if relevant. System: CPU: Ryzen 2700x Ram: 2x8gb corsair vengeance. MOBO: ASUS Crosshair VI Hero wifi GPU: Asus rog GTX 1070 I updated to the new driver, then booted up Apex Legends. Just as the zone loaded, all three of my monitors went black. The fans on my GPU went to 100% and everything just stayed like that. I had to reset my system. I am pretty sure that had the 2700x contained an integrated graphics, then the system would have continued running off of that. I tried running Unigen Heaven and the system did the same thing after a half of second of it starting. I installed the previous driver. Ran Heaven and the system seemed fine. I booted up Apex Legends and became playing a game. Half way through the match my monitors went black and gpu fans spun at 100%. So now it will work a bit but once it hits a certain load, it'll crash. I attached a screenshot of GPU-Z data just in case it is of use. Is there anything I can do? Should I try dating it apart and applying new thermal paste? Any suggestions would be appreciated greatly.

What strange time? $200 is about right. You might be able to get a deal closer to $175.

I did do a full driver wipe. I have a GTX 1070 Asus striix card.
