    Is AC installed on an SSD or hard drive?

     

    Do you have dual channel memory?

     

    If you are experiencing IO bottlenecking due to an old/slow hard drive, your cpu might be waiting (70c shouldn't throttle) for assets and this might cause fps stuttering.

     

    If you have single channel (or insufficient) memory, it could also cause these experiences due to bandwidth limitation or pagefiling.

    Interesting. Can old hard drives really cause the type of frame drops I was getting, along with the slow cpu frequencies? 

     

    I have 8x2 GB 3600 MHz dual channel memory.

  2. Specs:

    NZXT H510 Elite case

    Ryzen 5 3600 (using stock cooler)

    Rx 5700 xt

    MSI B450 Tomahawk Max

     

    My ryzen 5 3600 reaches nowhere near it's advertised speeds. CPU intensive titles such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla stutter a lot, and I thought it's because of the slow cpu speeds. Is it because it's thermal throttling? If that was the case, how come assassins creed runs at 70 degrees but still gets low frequencies?

     

    I've attached a screenshot of ryzen master after about 20 minutes of a Furmark gpu and cpu stress test (at the same time). I've also attached an Assassin's Creed Valhalla benchmark showing the absolutely horrible performance. I did a second valhalla benchmark, this time with ryzen master open. It only went up to 70 degrees but I was getting a peak core speed of around 3500 MHz while the others were in the 2000-ish range. Also, the game ran way better this time (but still no where near how it should) compared to the first Valhalla benchmark. Wtf?

     

    As for the insane temps at full load (My cpu literally never goes to full load, all games stay under 50% cpu usage. But I did the test anyway for the sake of this), I have an aggressive fan profile on the cooler fan so it was definitely running at 100% speed. Did I apply the cooler incorrectly? I get like 50 degrees at idle most of the time. Will buying an aftermarket cooler fix all my problems?

     

    I really don't know what's going on so I thought I would reach out to Linus Sex Tips. He didn't respond, so I'd really appreciate you guys' help instead. Thanks

  3. I have a unique issue where, for the first hour or so, games run perfectly fine. However, suddenly out of nowhere the game starts stuttering badly, even though the fps counter is still high. The weirdest thing about this is that, when I press the start button and the search shows up, I move my mouse and the game is smooth again! But closing the search makes the game start stuttering again after a second. Putting games in windowed mode generally fixes this issue, but then I have to play with borders. Another thing that fixes the issue is when I turn freesync off on my monitor, but I know it's not a problem with my monitor because I had a monitor before my current one and the same thing happened. Restarting the PC also fixes it, which is what I generally do. This has been happening with every single game I've played (ROTTR, Dying Light, Monster Hunter World, Borderlands 1). Also, many times the stuttering begins very late, after 2 hours or even 3 hours.

     

    I have an NZXT H510 elite case that came with fans preinstalled, and I never messed with them. My temps are fine, I don't think throttling is the issue. As I said, when I press start, the stuttering stops. When I turn off freesync or go into windowed mode, it stops. I just can't figure out what the problem is. My drivers are updated. It's definitely not a freesync problem because games work fine after a restart for like an hour or two.

     

    To emphasise, I don't believe the problem has anything to do with performance or overheating. The games I play are still running at the same FPS as before (on the FPS counter), but for some reason the pc "shows me" choppy gameplay. Putting it in windowed mode completely fixes the issue; if it was a thermal throttling problem, that wouldn't happen.

     

    Here's my system's specs: 

    Ryzen 5 3600, rx 5700 xt, msi b450 tomahawk max, 8x2 gb ram, some 750 watt corsair bronze power supply.

     

    Thank you.

  5. I built my first pc around 3 months ago. My graphics card drivers are updated. Here are my specs:

    I'm not sure if this is useful information, but there are a few things I'd like to share just in case: 

     

    *When I was building the PC, I somehow managed to bend the cpu's pins. I watched a jayztwoscents video and managed to straighten the pins by using a razor blade. 

    *I then assembled the PC and installed Windows, although the installation process was a bit iffy.(So it could potentially be an issue with the windows installation) 

    *I also recently had an experience where my PC's lights  turned on, but the PC itself didn't boot. I looked it up and it turned out to be a ram problem, so I just swapped the positions of my 2 ram sticks. The PC turned on and there's been no booting problem since. 

    *Another thing I'd like to add is that where I live, the power goes out for about 2 minutes once every day, which means my PC suddenly turns off quite often. This may be another factor that could potentially be causing problems.


    Every once in a while, my pc randomly just restarts. I'm just doing something and out of nowhere I see the Windows logo. This doesn't happen too often, but it still does so it's a bit worrying.

     

    Game performance is another issue. I have a unique issue where, for the first hour or so, games run perfectly fine. However, suddenly out of nowhere the game starts stuttering badly, even though the fps counter is still high. The weirdest thing about this is that, when I press the start button and the search shows up, I move my mouse and the game is smooth again!

  6. I’m considering buying a 4K tv for gaming with a 5700 xt and ryzen 5 3600, but I wanted to ask someone who has experience with image sharpening and gpu scaling on a 5700 xt; what I’m essentially referring to is this. Apparently, if I were to overclock my graphics card, use gpu scaling and use image sharpening I should be able to get 2080 Ti like performance? This just seems too good to be true. I’ve had my gpu for a few months now and I’m only finding out about this now. I’m aware that this isn’t as good as 4K, but as long as it looks pretty close I’m fine with it. All I want is to game on a 65 inch 4k tv screen. 
     

    Is anyone willing to try/has tried this for themselves? How does it look? How is performance? I don’t really have a 4k screen (yet) to test this on, so I was hoping to get some insight on whether or not I should be looking forward to this. Also, it baffles me that no one talks about this; to me, this is huge news. Being able to game at 4k 60 fps is normally unimaginable on a 5700 xt. Is there anything else major like this that I don’t know that could help improve performance?

     

    Thanks.

    I have low-latency gaming monitors aswell. I mostly play on my TV for HDR games. At 60Hz the input lag is actually better on the TV as on most monitors i've had. The input lag is not really noticeable to me. The only time i can definetly notice it, is when changing between 60Hz and 120Hz back-to-back. For me it doesn't make a difference when using a controller or mouse and keyboard in terms of input lag. I use both, depending on the game i play.

    Thank you, you’ve been very helpful.

    Dependings on the refresh rate: For 60Hz it's good, for 120Hz or higher it's bad. Also how noticeable it is, depends on how sensitive you are to input lag. My C9 OLED has ~12ms aswell when playing at 60Hz and for me the lag is fine and totally playable.

    The tv is 60 Hz. I’d like to know: do you always play on your tv or have you played or used to play on a low latency monitor before? Is the input lag noticeable at all or do you not even think about it (as it should be). Also, do you play on a controller or keyboard and mouse? To me, input lag on a controller is harder to notice as compared to a keyboard and mouse.

  9. I’m considering buying a 65 inch 4K tv for my pc rather than a monitor, as I’ll be able to watch movies and YouTube on it as well. The tv I want to buy is the Samsung ru7100, which apparently has 12.9 ms of input lag based on a quick google search. Is 12.9 ms ok for pc gaming? I don’t play competitive games so I don’t need absolutely zero input lag per se, but is it going to be noticeable and hinder the gaming experience regardless? I also play on keyboard and mouse, and I know for a fact that input lag is much more noticeable on a keyboard and mouse than a controller. I’d love to get some insight from someone in a similar situation. Thanks.

    Depends on the game, but your average game should be able to reach 60FPS as long you're okay with medium or high settings, maybe with the resolution set to something like 1800p or lower in heavier games. AMD have no DLSS equivalent, the initial DLSS was just worse than a simple upscale with AMD sharpening filter, all you need to do is to create a custom resolution at 1800p or whatever you want(1440P probably doesn't need it) and choose it in the game, the GPU/TV will do the upscale depending on your settings to fit in the screen, if you want to use the sharpening filter, just look for it in the driver settings.

    From TPU, games are probably in the highest settings(without Hairworks, RTX and similar):

    Isn’t there something called fidelity Fx or something?

  11. I’ve been considering getting a 65 inch 4K tv (with 10 ms latency, let me know if that’s too much for pc gaming) that’s being sold at a very good price where I live. The problem with this is that my current system has an rx 5700 xt and ryzen 5 3600; will I be able to run games at a constant 60 fps? My graphics card is also overclockable so that should help with fps a little bit as well.
     

    If I were to play games on a high preset with demanding settings such as shadows or volumetric fog on medium, should I be able to run games at a constant 60 fps? I’d like to hear from people that have an rx 5700 xt and play on 4K. How do games run generally for you?

     

    Furthermore, I heard that amd has its own thing that’s similar to dlss where you can upscale 1440p to 4K. Does it work with all games or only supported titles?

     

    Thank you.

     

     

  12. I’ve build a new gaming pc and was looking for a monitor to go with it.  I’ve got a 5700xt and a ryzen 5 3600. Sadly living in a third world country, there’s very little choice here and the only decent ones I could afford were:

    Dell s2719dgf 27inch 1440p 155hz

    https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-gaming-monitor-s2719dgf/apd/210-arcj/monitors-monitor-accessories

    ViewSonic XG2405 24″ 144Hz

    https://www.viewsonic.com/pk/products/lcd/XG2405.php
     

    I’m not into competitive games at all, and only plan to play single player games. What I care most about is how the game looks. So I guess my question is, what would look prettier, a 1080p IPS display or a 1440p TN.

     

     

  13. Here's my parts:

    • Radeon rx 5700 xt
    • 500 gb WD blue
    • 8x2 3600 MHz ram
    • msi b450 tomahawk max
    • ryzen 5 3600
    • Thermaltake Smart RGB 600W PSU SPR-0600NHSAW

     

     

    I have a minor selection of PC cases to choose from. Which of these are compatible with my build, which have good thermals and which are good for a first time builder? Please don't redirect me to a tier list or something, because these are the only options I have where I live(that aren't randomass companies like reddragon or raidmax). Here's all my options:

     

    • Thermaltake Versa N26 Mid Tower
    • Cooler Master Masterbox MB501L
    • Gigabyte C200G ATX Mid Tower
    • Corsair Carbide Spec 04 Mid Tower ATX
    • Thermaltake V200 TG Versa RGB
    • Cooler Master MasterBox NR600
    • Thermaltake Versa J24 Tempered Glass RGB Edition
    • Thermaltake J25 TG Versa RGB
    • Thermaltake H200 TG RGB
    • Cooler Master Masterbox MB500
    • Cooler Master Masterbox MB511 RGB
    • Cooler Master Masterbox MB520
    • Corsair Carbide Spec Delta Mid Tower ATX
    • Thermaltake Level 20 MT Argb
    • Corsair Carbide 275R Mid Tower ATX
    • Gigabyte AC300W ATX Mid Tower
    • Corsair Carbide 275R White Mid Tower ATX
    • Thermaltake Commander C35 TG Argb
    • Thermaltake Commander C32 TG Argb
    • Corsair Carbide Spec 05 Mid Tower ATX
    • Thermaltake H550 TG ARGB

     

    Bonus list (These are cases out of my budget, but let me know if anything here is worth the moola)

    • Thermaltake View 71 Tempered Glass Edition
    • Cooler Master Mastercase H500 Mesh
    • Corsair 570X Crystal RGB ATX Mid Towe

     

     

    The further down the list you go, the more expensive it gets. There's more cases, but these are the ones that have brand names I recognize. If raidmax and redragon make good quality cases do let me know so I can add them to the list. Also sorry for the long list, it's just that I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. This is my first time building a PC.

     

    For the most part, I don't care too much about looks, I see them as a bonus. I would love some help on deciding the best case: The case with the best airflow, compatible with my parts, good for cable management, good for a first time builder, has good dust collection etc. Whatever makes a case I good. I know this is a lot, but I would appreciate any help I get. Thank you.

    Lower quality PSUs have worse voltage regulation and less safety.

     

    Worse voltage regulation realistically means your parts will still run fine at stock speeds, but they might be less stable when overclocking. (you will get a lower maximum clockspeed before the computer starts crashing)

    Worse safety means that there is a higher chance of the PSU failing. It's still a small chance, but higher than the more reliable models. IF the PSU fails, it might take other components with it (sometimes lower-quality power supplies deliver a huge voltage spike while they're dying, which could kill your GPU, Motherboard, or even CPU/RAM). This is all IF the power supply fails. You could use it for 10 years without issue, or it could explode within the first month. You'll probably be fine though, even lower quality units don't catastrophically fail too often.

     

    Another thing to consider is that 80+ White power supplies are not as efficient as higher-rated power supplies. If you're running your computer 24/7 or plan to run it at high loads often, you might actually save money in the long run by buying a more efficient PSU.

    Wow, thanks for the detailed response. Damn, I wish I knew this earlier. Truth is, I'm currently living in a third world country. My brother is coming this Sunday from Canada with all the parts I listed earlier. I just figured that I could buy the psu from here, without realising it's importance. The only 2 decent psu's I could find (online) are the ones I sent you. I guess I'll just have to risk the life of my components.

     

    As for efficiency, I'm not really too worried about that. How much electricity I use isn't a problem for me, it's just my shiny brand-new parts I care about.

  15. These are the parts of my build that I bought:

     

    • MSI b450 tomahawk max
    • Gigabyte rx 5700 xt 8 GB
    • Ryzen 5 3600
    • 2x8 gb 3600 MHz RGB ram (because I'm an epic gamer, deal with it). This will probably need 1000W of power itself due to its epicness.
    • wd blue 500 gb nvme ssd

     

    So how much power does this system need? One build I saw uses 600W, while the manual for the gpu says 650W. A quick google search says 550W. I want to be on the safe side here, which power supply should I get? I don't want to waste any extra money buy buying more power than I need, but also don't want the bare minimum. Thanks for the help.

    Seems good. Maybe check to see if you can fit an RTX 2070 Super in there. It has lots more performance for only a slight price increase. to cut costs, you could slightly downgrade motherboard (use the motherboard tier list in my signature to find a similarly performing motherboard for cheaper).

    Ok, thank you. One look at the tier list and I have no idea what the hell is going on. This is way too advanced for a dumb boi like me. 

     

    As for the list, do you think it's absolutely perfect? Because I saw a lot of $1000 dollar build videos on youtube (including Linus' early 2020 buyers guide with a 1000 dollar build), but none of them chose these components. I think this is the absolute best you can get for a 1000 US dollars, but I wanted to post here to see if there's any improvements I can do. If there's anything I can do to make it cheaper(because that is a phat amount of money), or make it better for the same price. The rtx 2070 super can't fit under the budget unfortunately, but yeah I would love to get it. Thanks again.

  17. Here's the list: 

     

    I think I'm about done. This is what's been built after hours of research by me and some help. I just wanted to post here again to get the final verdict. If there's any suggestion on how to improve this build, or if there's any ways I could make this cheaper without too much compromise would be great. All prices are in canadian dollars. Thank you.

    Another thing to consider are bundle deals if you're buying everything new anyways. I'm not sure where the best place in canada is for those, but a quick search gave me canadacomputers currently selling a bundle of the ryzen 5 3600 and the gigabyte 2070 windforce for 718$ if you buy those 2 items together. If you ask me that's a better deal than the 3600 + 5700 xt for $766.49 if you go by those part picker prices.

    That is an amazing deal. The problem is that I can't buy that rightaway. First I'm going to sell my old laptop, which will give me the funds to my new PC. But thank you for the suggestion, I'll look out for those when it's time to buy. I just hope there's a deal as good as that when I'm buying my components lol
