Ripred

I've had this happen to me with my Asus board, flashing the bios can help, mine had to be flashed twice to really get it working right, also do not try to use old bios profiles with the new BIOS, screenshot any settings and copy to a new profile, using the old profile seems to be how I broke mine...

7700xt raytraces higher fps than the 4060ti

there should be an equivalent, if theirs a car audio moding scene in your country they'll definitely have something, its just a sound deadening mat used to stop vibrations from large car subwoofers

windows uses up about 4 GB by itself, so you really only have 4GB to play with in other applications, you'll have to limit the number of tasks and prioritize what you want to do

What's your total system spec? Yea you'll get more fps but depending on the games you play, you might miss those extra GBs, gain fps but also gain frame time latency,

I wanna see a throwback of games that used to be part of benchmark suites,that were really hard to run over 60fps maxed settings without the latest hardware and put them up against today's low and high tier to see how far we've come, I'd also be interested in seeing $5000 lmg fan upgrades, like pimp my ride style, someone other than the person submitting their name and Linus shows up to pimp your PC Maybe hook up with Mr beast and hold a competition of the fans, make em work for it lol

Always wanted to try this game years ago, then totally forgot about it until the recent remake of the first one, today saw it for $4 and couldn't resist , not only enjoying my first playthrough of the game but also enjoying the max settings, 500 fps average on my first run

Just for kicks I would try disabling the xmp, basically set the bios to default and try that, like I mentioned before some hardware don't like each other, meaning an OC or xmp profile that worked for one config might be unstable in a different configuration, I also agree with koko and try to re-seat everything, sometimes switching out hardware can jostle other parts just enough to make issues, I had a similar problem with an m.2 SSD

For most games that 8 gig is fine,..for the moment, aslong as you don't have inflated expectations of turning detail,draw distance to max but newer games, with huge open worlds, massive texture files it's gonna choke, not that it won't play but with modest settings for a good experience, I have a 12 gig card, ratchet and clank eats it all but I have unreasonable expectations and insist on the ray tracing(in that game)at the cost of some minor details

are you still using the same xmp profile/ram,OC settings in bios after upgrading? and on that note, what do you have for RAM? have your also tried to reseat those or take out individual sticks and see if the behavior changes? sometime certain hardware just dont like eachother

So the 1080ti works in your system, no problem?

Howlong was it running properly after the upgrade, were there any other changes before the problem started? even new softwear or updates

I realized that while writing it but this was in earlier weeks of the course and being that I'm back tracking I was trying to restrict myself to what was covered up until that point, the assignment requirements asked us to make assumptions in this instance, and was only concerned with the class grasping the concepts on conditionals with use of if, else, try, except, etc..

So I should think of the main function as sort of a junction point for the rest of the script?
