I play on 1080P on a 60HZ monitor so I felt I wasn't getting the most out of my GPU, would a 10700k solve the issue? I'm on a B460 board though so won't be able to OC a K-series processor.

Budget (including currency): Country: Bangladesh Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cyberpunk, Red Dead Redemption 2, Starfield, Baldur's Gate 3 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): Hello everyone I'd like some suggestions regarding my PC. I am currently rocking an i5 10400f paired with an RTX 3070 with 16GB RAM. I am worried about the RTX 3070 being bottlenecked by the 10400f so was planning on upgrading the CPU to maybe a 10700k. Will the upgrade be worth it? Or should I switch sides to AMD and get a Ryzen 5 7500F? Or should I just keep my current setup? I am kinda confused ffs.

I was hoping to get a 3070, or a 6800. Will that be a waste? Also, It kinda seems like its been eons since I was running games on ultra settings getting 60fps+ thus my use of the word..

Hello, Im kinda confused as to which next-gen GPU to pair with my Ryzen 7 2700x, I currently have a 1080P 144Hz monitor and am coming from a GTX 970. I know any current offering would be eons better than a 970, but Im looking for the one which would be optimal for my current setup. Don't want to bottleneck a new gpu so am confused.

As of yesterday, I have not been able to like any pages on Facebook. Every time I try to like a page, I am met with a message attached with the post. Has anyone faced such an issue before? I have reported the problem to Facebook. I did like quite a few pages this month. Is there anyway there is a cap to how many pages I can like? I'm at 1291 right now, I unliked some of the pages to see if anything changes but to no avail whatsoever. Is there a monthly cap or something like to how many pages I can like? Please help,

As it is "coming" won't it be better to wait for the next generation then? AMD has also claimed that their GPU's will also support hardware Ray Tracing. I guess waiting would be best at this point in time.

I guess the 2070 Super seems like a good option at the moment with AMD's cards having driver issues.

So I'm in the market for a new GPU, and am eyeing the $450-$500 range. At this range there are mainly 3 cards in the market, the 2070super, 5700XT and the 1080ti in the used market. Which of these cards would be best value for money?. I know the 1080Ti is quite old now but it still performs admirably and performs as good as a 2080, but will that still hold 2 years from now? or should I go for the more recent offerings just for future-proofing? I have a 2700X paired with 16GB Of Ram. Currently I'm using a GTX 970. Looking to play at 1440P, maybe sometimes crank it up to 4k just for the fun of it.

Sony's TV's do have certain features like pixelshifting and screen refresh. But can I get 10 years out of it this way. As I've said, I do not want to change TV's every 3-4 years, or at least don't plan to.

Will pixelshifting eradicate the issue or just delay the inevitable?

So I'm planning to by a TV, and looking to opt for the Sony A8F, but I have recently come across issues regarding burn-ins. I will be buying this TV for quite some time and don't want to change in the foreseeable future. I will be using it for 4K movie playback, netflix Youtube, etc.... But what about news channels or sports channels?. I heard that the score bar or the headline ribbon gets burnt in on OLED's. How long should I use it for then? Can I at least use it for 4 hours a day?

I checked the IO, there are all HDMI ports at the back, I was looking for a Display port but couldn't find one, but in Linus's video it was mentioned that it will support G-sync

So, I'm planning on buying a new TV, the C9 seems to tick all the boxes for me. Now I will be doing some mild gaming on it and found out that it supports G-sync. Now my question is will it support G-sync on my 970? I've read elsewhere that maxwell GPU's are not supported. is that true?

Is it better than the Strix B450-F? that also seems to have similar specs except it's from the Strix lineup

I was opting for the Pro Carbon AC as it ticks all the boxes for me in terms of performance and features, but it's out of stock where I'm at. I looked up the Aorus B450 Pro Wifi, as it sort of has every feature of a high-end motherboard but the VRM according to the spreadsheet is quite bad. So I guess the less featured Tomahawk Max would be a good buy at this point if I do want to upgrade to maybe a 3700X in the future.

So I got a new 2700X from the Black Friday sale. Now am looking for a motherboard. I am currently opting to buy a good B450 motherboard as I will not be overclocking the CPU (will just let PBO and XFR2 work). I'll be using it for streaming and mostly for gaming. I was looking around the $100-$120 range. And also, are motherboard VRM's important? as I will not be overclocking my CPU.

Yeah, I think I'll go with a decent B450 rather than a budget X470, MSI's gaming pro carbon seems to be ticking all the boxes for me at the moment.

I went ahead and got the 2700X, I decided I'm not going to be overclocking much as I'm mostly going to be gaming on it, and furthermore, I don't think overclocking on a B450 motherboard would be such a good idea

So, would it not be worth paying the $20 premium then? will temps be reasonable when gaming and streaming on the stock cooler?

So I am confused, there's a deal to be had on either the Ryzen 7 2700x or the 2700, the X model going fir $160 on newegg and amazon and the 2700 going for $140. After looking at some benchmarks the performance between the X and Non-X model is pretty similar. But I do get a better cooler with the 2700X, I might overclock it to get the most out of the CPU regardless the model I get, in that case, will the wraith spire be good enough for overclocking? or should I just get the X model instead. I game and stream, and sometimes edit videos.

Yes, that is another concern of mine, even if I do find something like a 4790 in the used market, I doubt it would bring me a substantial difference, so basically a CPU upgrade would also mean an upgrade in motherboard and RAM

I've had my CPU for about 4 and a half years now, and recently while playing The Outer Wolrds, I noticed some micro-stuttering, fired up Afterburner and found out my CPU (i5 4590) was at 100% while my 970 was at 90%, now I know its not a huge bottleneck, but as the years progress, games get more demanding and having more cores does help. Now my question is, should I hold on for a while longer for next generation of Intel/Ryzen 4000, or should I upgrade now to something like a 3600 or 3700X?. I mainly game and do some light streaming. Also my GPU (GTX 970) is getting a bit old, but I think I can get by till the next generation of cards hit the market. My primary concern is my CPU at the moment.

This may sound somewhat stupid, but I was looking to switch my card thinking it broke, well it's perfectly fine apparently. My wall power was unstable which did not deliver power properly to the GPU, yeah that happened. So I guess I'll call the deal off and keep my 970 for another year or so before completely upgrading my PC. Thanks again everyone for all the help and advice. Appreciate it.

Problem is, where I'm at (Bangladesh) GPU prices are absurd, the Vega 56 costs around $600 and the 5700 is not available and the 5700XT is around $503 so my options are sort of limited to the 1080Ti or a 1660ti or RTX 2060, I really don't wanna buy something I'm gonna regret so am kinda confused.

Well the thing is my GPU broke, down. I was using a gtx 970 and I don't intend to upgrade very frequently so was also thinking about the long run, I used my 970 for about 4 years, I exepect something similar or even better from a 1080Ti, but my worry still remains the bottleneck.
