Il_Burza

Hello! I'm having a unique issue. I say unique because I don't seem to find this issue anywhere else. For 99% of the applications I try to launch (including setup.exes) I get the blue box telling me "Impossible to execute the app on your PC. To look for a version for your pc, contact the software distributor". Very few select applications seems to work. So far of all the 6 TB of data, only skype, blender and google chrome seem to work. That's it. Not even setup.exe files. Some application seem to start but then stop working (Edge and premiere pro is one of those, I get the splash image, but then nothing happens, not even an error). I already had a similar issue in the past, brought it to tech support, told me they didn't know what was causing it but that all the hardware seemed to work fine. They told me to whipe the pc and start with a new install of windows. I did as told, that was last summer. Everything worked perfectly until literally today where it all broke down. I'm quarantened in Italy with no tv (choices of a world with working stores) healp, plz.

That clears it, thanks!

I do most of my timeline work on a 37" (I don't know how much of a difference does it make being 1080p considering I use Nvidia Dynamic Super Resolution on it), the 2 22" i use for monitor reference/second program running and miscellaneous tasks (data imput, google search, etc). Color accuracy isn't perfect, I'll give you that.

Well my main worry is the lack of DirectX12 which bottlenecks the 2080 during rendering. Also some encoding speed upgrade wouldn't be too bad as the Adobe suite, if I remeber correctly, encodes via CPU being accelerated via CUDA.

Thanks for clarifying, I only upgraded GPUs, storage and power supply in the last 8 years basically.

First of all thank you all for the lightning quick response! I do use the adobe suite to work. Both CC and CS6 (I'm too cheap to rebuy certian plug-ins twice) I do have some wiggle room on the budget since I don't plan to switch to 4k before october. Do you think RAM is a necessary upgrade? Or could that be done at a later date?

Hello! I'm considering upgrading my PC, but I need a little help on what to start looking for. I'm in Italy. Here's my current gear: CPU: Intel i7 3770 Motherboard: ASUSTeK P8H77-V RAM: 24GB DDR3 1333 Kingston GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX2080 CPU Cooling: Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML240L RGB Storage: -Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series 500GB (boot drive) -SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB - 1TB WD mechanical drive - 3TB WD mechanical drive Power Supply: -750W (sorry, I can't remember the brand and my case hides it. It is recent tho, as I had to buy one to be able to power the 2080) - Schneider Electric 1100 Back-UPS I currently use 3 monitors: 2 22" samsung monitors and a 37" tv connected via hdmi My current benchmarks are around 590 in cinebench and 8381 in 3D Mark in Time Spy (not extreme because my motherboard doesn't support DirectX12 as far as I'm aware) I work as a filmmaker and this is my current editing machine, which so far works fine as I haven't switched to 4k yet. I also use it for gaming, but I'm not really interested in 4k gaming or going more than 60 fps (my monitors are all 60hz). However I do plan to switch to 4k shooting and editing in the near future while mantaining a smooth gaming experience at 1080p. Most of the footage is stored in external drives while it's not being edited (in which case is transfered to the 240GB SSD) My budget would be around 400€ (plus any value I would get by selling the gear I would be replacing, if it has any resale value that is) I think the obvious choice would be to start with Motherboard and CPU, but I don't know what would be the best "bang for the buck" in my case. I would also like something that could hold up for at least few years, if possible. I've been suggested by my local store to look for old server components, but I'd rather have a conventional machine that can be upgraded fairly easy in the future. Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks!
