Thank you YoungBlade. I found this early, but it wasn't enough to me.

Thank you, Shimeji. My bios is updated and the resizable bar option is enabled, but I don't know if this really works. I need a compatible GPU to test. Before buying the arc, I'll try to find more information.

Hello, thanks for reading this topic. I want to buy an Arc 770 graphics card, but it doesn't perform well without resizable bar. I have an Asrock Taichi X370 with Ryzen 2700X. People said resizable bar is not available with this setup. I've searched in my BIOS and resizable bar is available. Do you think resizable bar will work with the Arc 770 with my setup? This is something really new to me, and my research was not enough to understand. Thank you!

Compatible, mate!

The problem stills, but I was wrong about the PCIE speed. I had a bugged GPU-Z version. The new GPU-Z shows x16 3.0 under load. Installed a R9 280X and, yes, about 10% less fps.

I think it's the socket pins. I can't see any bent sockets, but it's one of the last ideas I have.

PCIE @ 16x 1.1, instead of 3.0. Stays 1.1 under load. I think it's the problem!

I think it's not XMP, cause the CPU performance (Physics Test) was very, very good. And XMP alone couldn't cause a 10fps drop. I tried to load optimized default. I ended up changing the DZ77RE-75K, which is one of my favorites mobo, for the Z77 Extreme 4, which now is in use. I'll try to find answers!

Tried another ssd, which has Windows 10 installed. No dice. Tried Titan with a third motherboard, an Asrock Z77 Extreme 4. Titan scored as expected. The low score happens only with the Intel DZ77RE-75K. I can't undestand.

Nothing different in the task manager, mate.

Thanks for still helping me! So, Windows same build, cause I'm using the same SSD. Spectre and Meltdown, I suppose it's in the same condition, cause I'm using the same SSD. XMP and dual channel enabled in both systems. I don't believe it's CPU/RAM related, cause the system with lower graphics performance, have higher CPU performance in 3DMark! About the scores, a simple example: In 3DMark 11 Graphics Test 3, I'm getting about 97fps with the Asrock, while getting 88fps with the Intel. It's a consistent difference between all the graphics test.

Ok, but can you guess what's happening? I put all the components installed in the the Asrock Z77 Pro 4 in the Intel DZ77RE-75K. The 10% difference remains!!!

Looks like something related with the PCIE bandwidth! I swapped all the parts and nothing changed.

Thank you, mate. I'll check it!

Sorry for the poorly organized post, and thanks for your reply. I bought a GTX Titan, last week, and I installed it in a test rig. This test rig are working with a 3570K CPU, an Asrock Z77 Pro 4 Motherboard, 2x2GB G. Skill 1600mhz RAM and a EVGA 500W PSU. I just used 3DMark for testing the graphics card, which is working fine. After testing, I just installed the GTX Titan in another rig, for using it. The other rig are working with a 3770 CPU, an Intel DZ77RE-5K motherboard, 2x4GB Kingston HyperX RAM and a EVGA 500W PSU. In the 3570K test rig, for example, I was reaching about X fps in 3DMark 11 Graphics Test 3. In the 3770 rig, I'm reaching about Y fps, which is 10% less. Yes, this difference is consistent between other tests. I tried to transfer RAM, PSU and the SSD from the test rig for the 3770 rig. The difference still about 10%. So, you'll think it's the CPU or motherboard! I don't think it's the CPU, cause the 3770 is reaching a very high score, compared with the 3570K. So, the problem is the motherboard, I think. But the motherboard is working very well. Tried to change settings in BIOS, but nothing changes.

Hi, thanks for reading my post. I was testing a Geforce GTX Titan with a 3570K and an Asrock Z77 Pro 4 motherboard. Then, I installed the GTX Titan in my main build, with a 3770 and an Intel DZ77RE-5k. In the second build, I get about 10% less fps in all 3DMark graphics tests. It's a consistent difference. I tried to install the PSU, RAMs and the SSD of the test build in the main build. Nothing changed. The only thing I kept in the main build is the processor, cause, in the Physics test (CPU), it's performing so much better than the 3570k. Do you know what's the possible reason for all this difference? Thank You!

Hi, how are you? Thanks for reading my post. I bought a GTX Titan with a EK-FC Titan block. There is an attached picture showing the block. There is another attached picture showing what is missing. I don't know exacly how these things are called, cause it's my first block. Is it called fittings? Can I buy a fitting of another brand, with the same specification? I really need two, or one is enough? Can I buy this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32859527675.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5f4a5565sph1R1&algo_pvid=9331e736-4dc2-42b0-9eee-a2605d247f42&algo_expid=9331e736-4dc2-42b0-9eee-a2605d247f42-26&btsid=0b0a555416076350278727733ecbbb&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

Thank you! Do you think it's oil from thermal pads or fluid from wc, since the owner used a ek block?

Hi, friends! Thank you for reading my post, first of all. I want to buy a GTX Titan, but I'm afraid with what I circled in the attached picture. Is there something wrong with this PCB? Do you think it's residue from thermal pads or fluid from Water Cooling?

Thank you, ShrimpBrime. I'll follow your opinion. Just to rememeber: There is a Gigabyte GA-970-Gaming motherboard, and a Gigabyte GA-970-Gaming SLI motherboard. The second was reviewed by some experts and is a great board. About the first, I don't know, but I'll follow your opinion. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for reading. What's the best motherboard, in your opinion? MSI 970 Gaming or Gigabyte GA-970-Gaming? Why? I'm using a FX-8320. I can buy both of the motherboards very cheap. Thank you!

Why DELL cards have a different backplate, with this extended session on the side? This makes the card longer....

Hi! Thanks for reading my new topic. I wanna buy a Radeon 5970, for my collection. I found a good offer in my country, but it's a Radeon listed as Dell part: https://www.compeve.com/video-cards/pci-express/dell-ati-radeon-hd-5970-2gb-p-n-dw5cw-102c0000200-000001 What do you think about the quality of this? I have graphics cards from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte..... But Dell is something new to me. Thank you!!!

Your answers were important to me! Thank you, WereCatf!

Right, but the gpu will be stressed the same way as in a normal monitor? Image is not in question, but I want to stress the graphics card the same way I stress in a conventional monitor. Thank you, WereCatf.
