    Hello there,I have just recently bought a new monitor (ASUS PG279Q) and as soon as plugged it in to the mains after getting it out of the box, the whole electricity in my house tripped as the RCD switched in order to protect components. I did not even remotely have this issue with my two previous monitors, just this one after receiving it yesterday. Does anyone know how I can sort this out?

    I have that enabled.

    Thanks!

    Yeah I appreciate that, however, there is no way a 500mhz OC is going to magically take me to where I should be! I have never hit 100fps at all since switching to this setup, not even looking at the sky! Furthermore, the city area in the benchmark is notoriously extremely CPU intensive, however, he is still hitting 100fps. Also, the reason his usage is extremely low is because he is running at 720p which is ridiculous, but it ensures CPU is at the forefront. An i7 8700k or 9900k would bottleneck a 1080 at that resolution!

    Does it show timings in ryzen master?

    Thanks.

    Thanks mate, you really not have to go to that trouble! As I can see, you are hovering in the 100s as one would expect from Ryzen, whilst I cant seem to get above 80 at all! To add to this, you have a 1070 Ti compared to my 1070 which means that you should be more CPU bound than I am if anything. It just puzzles me even more?

    None, there is no objective reason to own a console over a PC!

    Nice.
  11. dean.kavanagh
    Yeah, that would be great! What GPU do you have by the way?
  12. dean.kavanagh
    Yes I have sir, both MSI afterburner and task manager report 3.5 GHz as I have the CPU at stock.

    I have recently upgraded from the X99 platform, to the X399 platform. My new CPU is a TR 1920X and I have had nothing but problems regarding gaming performance. I never bought this CPU for just gaming, however, from the many benchmarks I have seen from main stream Ryzen, I was expecting quite a bit more! For example, GTA V will not go above the 70-80 fps mark with my GTX 1070, and this is even with no msaa enabled. I get the exact same performance at 1080p with no mssa as I do at 1440p with 2x msaa! GPU usage fluctuates between 50-70% therefore the CPU is clearly holding me back, however, it should not do this as there are benchmarks to show Threadripper hitting at least 100 fps. I have tried various things such as Game mode, new bios, chip set drivers, but to no avail. I don't get how this is happening?I will post the main parts of my system specs below: TR 1920X16 GB 3000mhz ddr4GTX 1070asus prime A x399

    Yeah, I know Multi-GPU is not a saint, only when DX12 becomes the standard will it be as viable as it was back in its inception. Even with my 6800k, it was not perfect far from it. However, my frames went form 40-50 in GTA V to around 70-80, with minimal stutter if any! Switching to the 1920x, of course I did not expect gaming performance to increase but I thought that it would remain similar, whilst gaining a CPU that blows the 6800k out of the water in everything else. Turns out that gaming experience has gone down as I have mentioned in the original post, and like I have said, there is no way that the move to the 1920x is to blame for the performance to worsen dramatically, unless it is what I think I have discovered from the help of the great people on here, my 650w not powering enough juice to the new CPU as well as the cards?

    Thank you there, this is now starting to become clear that I need a higher wattage psu?
