Budget (including currency): 1k USD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: No specific games but I do play a lot of new games (Everything from 8bit emulation to Cyberpunk) I'm also a big VR nut (index) Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Current Rig: Ryzen 3700x Rtx 3080 32 digs of Corsair ddr4 3000mhz ram 1440p 120hz monitor Want to try and hit High settings I was thinking about the 5700x for the CPU and switching to team red with a 7900xt So should I upgrade anything or just stick with what I got for the foreseeable future? Thanks in advance

I know this may be a stupid question but im building my first high end pc and im trying to choose my processor. I was thinking of the 2950x. its got a ton of cores and pcie lanes but also thers the 9900k, it has fewer cores but its cheaper and easier to over clock. i know i must sound dumb to some of you butr i relay could use some advice

Ok i know that these questions are gonna cause eyes to roll and faces to palm but i need help of those wiser than myself. I have 2 1080s in SLI Now i know that in order for a game to use SLI IT has to have a SLI profile and if the dev chooses not to support SLI then im SOL and have one card doing the work while another just sits ther idle doing nothing. Using Afterburner ive noticed that the memory usage on both always remains identical no matter what im doing however as i write this the 2nd card isnt doing anything. however the GPU1 coreclock and memory clock are resting a a constant rate how ever i rarely ever see the second card used. only on games that i know use SLI (The division, The Witcher 3 Ect.) do i see the second card move. But when i use nvidas built in SLi tool in the nvida control panel all 3d games show SLI activity. So my question is how can i 100% tell if the game im playing is using SLI? the reason im asking is because im building a HTPC and i want to test all 460 games i have to see if they work in SLi. Cause if the majority of my games arnt using the second card i might as well put the second card in the new PC rather than have it be wasted just sitting in my main rig doing nothing.

Ok i have 2 980TIs running in sli and a 950 so i can use my non gaming monitors. Well the problem is when i run 3d mark or any other benchmark it only shows one of the 980s and the 950 being used while the second 980 remains 100% idle. I dont under stand because when it was just the 2 980s everything worked fine. It wasnt untill i added the 950 that the other 980 stayed in idle. And before you ask yes i made sure sli is enabled and my gaming monitor is plugged into the sli 980s. And im running a 1300 watt power supply so i got plenty of juice. Any body have any ideas let me know
