Can you turn off vsync, that can e the culprit.

"Make sure vsync is off. Also what resolution are y ouu playing at ?

Ive don't my fair share of research and listened to you gurus here at LTT as welll. I think I odn't need 18 core intel HEDT,,, My daw accepts all 16 threads and having fast cores will help. Im no doing any hardcore multi threaded apps except for my DAW app. I think I ill be fine with a 16 thread KS all cores at 5Ghz or OC to 5.2Ghz in all core. What yall think ? I

The motherboard is shot,, I couldnt boot up etting red light on CPU and or RAM ,, then say ram is bad,, ever since then problrms and I bought my motheroard used ad it came out to have issue. I need a new system trust me there no fixinf this problem. I put everting st stock defaults and same thing,, hardware is ad its ok Im geting a new system soon.

Thank you for that detailed explanation I appreciate it big time. I hear you about the PCI 3.0 then the 3080 or 4080 is PCIe 4.0 Im faked. I think Im gonna get the 3950x but I still wouldnt't mind seeing the 10980XE benchmarks at 4.8Ghz before I make my decision. But not having PCIe 4.0 is not good for a future video card.. sighs. I on't know why install is hellbent on PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 have no speed difference,,, that is what Intel says. Yet they said the will hae specs of PCIe 6.0 .. lol that is many years away. sighs. But if a 4080 comes out as PCIe 4.0 I might be screwed your right...

I apologize. My system has been messed up for almost 3 years. I get crashes everyday and no signal crashes, WIth 3 video cards. I work around it couple crashes a day and forget about gaming. So I am desperatly in need of a system. I just want to get something that will last time 8 to 10 years. Will a 8 core be future proof for many years to come. Or will 10980XE be future proof with all those cores. Or 3950x be future proof many years from now... That is my concern.

Thank you soo much for that chart. I really appreciated. Looks like I could gain about 30 fps more after looking at this chart. Also the 10980XE will be clocked at 4.8Ghz just fyi...

Is there a realm of possibility I get 30fps more in any situation in the map ? Ive seen RAM tests give 10fps more like a 4000Mhz vs 3200Mhz... So thats 10fps and CPU maybe another 20 more for 30fps more,, or am I dreaming ?

Going to a 10980XE and Aorus Master x299x when they come out. My question is how much more FPS will I gain with a 10980XE or 9900kS. For example playing certain parts of map and lots of action Quake Champions goes to 105 ish then jump up to 140 then 128 fps. Putting in a new mobo cpu and ram how much more FPS will I get, as I am really curious. Thank you

Just get a 1660Ti and yolll be fine. No taxing of GPU as it remains at 0 percent so really doesn't matter if your 2k or 3k or 4k .. Connect as many monitors as you like it will still be 0 percent CPU and 0 percent GPU usage while in desktop and what not.

Great rig but CPU is holding you back as said above from the chap.

I would look at the Klipsch line. The Quartet speakers and THX. Also they use Klipsch speakers in most movie theaters and what not.

Is this for your computer or for your TV ?

Looks like the power outage did bad things to the motherboard. Let someone else give their insight on this.

At the end of the day your room temp hopefully 74F will make a difference in liquid getting hot thus no matter what setup you have.
