For example, in a lot of posts I've seen, they claim a 20% reduction in performance when using an eGPU but I hadn't found too many benchmarks to support or disprove this.

Thank you so much, I hadn't thought of that. Would there be any further performance decrease from TB3 on the Core X Chroma or do the PCIe lanes connect directly to the CPU?

Does anyone know where I can find comprehensive benchmarks for RTX cards in eGPU enclosures? I just received my Blade Stealth and am trying to decide what GPU to get for my Core X Chroma (I didn't choose the laptop, it's just a coincidence they're both Razer) so that I can use my 1440p 144hz monitor well, ideally high to ultra settings at 100+ frames like I could get on my desktop before I had to sell it before going to college.

Some monitors run at higher refresh rates if you run them lower than their native resolution. I’m just wondering which ones do that well.

I’m looking for a pretty color accurate 4K monitor with Freesync which is easy to find, but I was wondering if there are any that can run at higher refresh rates at lower resolutions. Say 1440p 144hz.

I used DDU, not GeFore Experience. I haven’t noticed any issues with CPU usage, so I doubt that is the problem. Clock speeds have been exactly the same for both my CPU and GPU.

I have an MSI Seahawk X 1080 ti that would get me around 110-120 FPS in R6S and stay pegged at 100 FPS in Fallout 4. After updating my drivers from 417.71 to 430.39, I dropped to 70-90 FPS in R6S and my FPS fluctuates wildly in Fallout 4, generally from 45-100, which is massively distracting. The strange thing is that, when I removed drivers 430.39 and went back to 417.71, the problem remained. Nothing else in my system changed except R6S will randomly lock up for a few seconds every few games and Windows has crashed for the first time on this computer, but that’s probably unrelated. Any idea what the issue could be?

I have a Ruben 7 2700X in a Strix X470-I motherboard. It has worked perfectly fine for months until I was watching a YouTube video and my computer suddenly crashed. Upon resetting it, it wasn’t detecting my keyboard, which was plugged into one of the four blue USB 3.0(?) ports on the motherboard’s io. After plugging it into one of my case’s USB 3.0 ports, it was detected. These ports on the back are giving power, as my portable charger is currently charging from one, but they don’t seem to be getting any signal. Any ideas what happened? I also checked a USB stick with some files on it in the same slot and it wasn’t detected by windows.

I'm fluctuating a lot between 70-90 fps, which is ridiculously noticeable when it used to be between 110-120, so I'd rather go with more stable gameplay.

I ended up using DDU and installing the new driver. I try to update every month, but I was a little busy recently and haven't update since 417 in January. After installing new drivers, I am still losing around 20 fps, so I think it is a bad driver and I will probably go back to my old one until a new update comes out.

Thanks, I'll try that

I just updated to the new 430.39 drivers and not only has my 1080 ti been boosting to 1896 (when it was previously going up to 1974), but I have lost 40-50 fps in most games, which should not be attributable to dropping around 100 mHz. Any thoughts?

I am going into my senior year of high school, but would prefer to build my computer this year, since I doubt technology will change much in the next year. I don’t know exactly where I’m going, so I don’t have any specifics yet. I want to steer clear of a professional card b/c I want to work and play, but I don’t have enough money to buy the upper echelon of quadros that can game too. Would it then pay to wait for RTX to see if they fare better that current GTX cards? And then prices on current cards will most likely drop as well, so they could be a good steal.

I’m going to college soon and expect to be doing rendering, CAD, possibly working with VMs, and gaming (of course). Since Vega does better at the first three of these than the 1080 ti, would it be a good buy? Or should I wait for RTX?

I am building a Small Form Factor PC for college using Corsair's Crystal 280X. Naturally, I am concerned about cable management. I have selected EVGA's SuperNOVA G2 550W, which is fully moddable(?) and am wondering where to buy cables that would be less than hellish to manage. If anyone could help, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
