Budget (including currency): £200 Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: The Witcher 3, The Outer Worlds, Fallout 4, Fallout 7 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): My current specs are: i7 4770 16GB DDR3 (4 x 4GB) RX 470 4GB I'm playing The Witcher 3 and the framerate is hovering around 50 - 60 FPS. My CPU usage hovers around 70% and my GPU up to 80%. Temps are absolutely fine CPU about 50C and GPU 65C. I've got v-sync on and I'd like to hit 75FPS (my monitors refresh rate) at 1080p. With neither the CPU or GPU maxing out usage wise, I'm not sure why I'm not getting higher FPS? Do I need to upgrade something?

Was I the only one super uncomfortable with how sexual everything Linus said was? "She can screw" and "that's a vibrator" were stand outs, with Kris only ever doing the polite laugh. It's not the first time I've thought Linus has gone overboard with the sexual "jokes" either, especially with female colabs / employees. I really don't want to be reading headlines with "Youtuber accused of..." akin to Elon Musk headlines

Assuming your PSU has 2 6+2 pin connectors an RX 580 or RX 590 would be great. I think some RX 570's use a single power connector if you're limited there.

I think it's probably legit, but can't be absoltuely 100% sure. It's your CPU that's massively holding back perfomance, and maybe partially the relatively slow RAM.

? ?

If you really don't want to replace your entire system, how about a used GTX 1060 / RX 580? And then save up for an entire new system down the road? Anything much above that you'd not be able to get the most out of?

With your budget plus selling your 1050 TI your best bet would probably be an RX 590 or GTX 1650 Super. They're not huge leaps in performance though, so it may be worth savings up for a little while and going for a GTX 1660 Super.

I'd suggest just getting a DVI to HDMI adapter and taking the GT 730 out.

You can find some pretty good deals on RX 580's and RX 590's at the minute for around £120 - £140.

Yes, what Pikatchu says, a GTX 1650 Super or an RX 590 would be a great pairing. Whichever you can get for cheaper really.

Just double checking but is the only thing that's changed your GPU or is this an entirely new build?

Shouldn't be a problem. The signal is passed through the golden contacts on the side of the slot. There won't be a drop in performance, it's a part of the card that would either work, or it wouldn't. There's not really an inbetween.

Probably the best "cheap" GPU to upgrade to would be the GTX 1650 Super for around $150. To get a CPU boost without a new motherboard it might be worth considering a used Intel i7 7700 which would just drop in, provided you've got your motherboards BIOS up to date.

Would it be possible to get a careers forum going? It could be a good place for anyone trying to get into IT repair / support, networking or software to share tips and resources.

Yes it will work fine, just plug the display into the GT 730. I think the Vega 8 graphics on the Ryzen 2200G are more powerful than the GT 730 though, so it would make more sense to use that.
