My primary display is starting to die. It works fine then randomly flickers, goes blank, etc. Before it dies completely I want to get a new monitor. I'm currently running a dual monitor setup, but I'm looking for some input from those who have used both ultrawide and dual monitors. 1: Can you run an ultrawide like a dual monitor setup? For example: I've got Youtube, Floatplane, Netflix, or w/e else on the second screen while gaming on the main one. Can I split an ultrawide down the middle (or into thirds) so I can still do this? 2: Performance hit or bonus? I'm running a 4080 Super, but I live in California where electricity cost is insane. Has anyone noticed a difference in power draw and/or FPS for dual monitors vs Ultrawide while using it in situations like Question 1? 3: If you've gone from Dual Monitors to Ultrawide what has your personal experience been? Positives and negatives. 4: If you run an Ultrawide setup and have used multiple Ultrawide monitors what is something you've learned to watch out for? Any Surprises? Thanks for anyone who reads and responds!

I have a pretty old laptop with integrated graphics. Which would be the best linux distro that is focused on RAW PERFORMANCE. I do not care about looks, simplicity, ease of use, desktop environment, etc. Only pure performance. I know i sound like a newb but I have used debian based distros before but started questioning whether they were the right choice. Please recommend which distro and version would give me maximum performance for my hardware. I just want it to get the job done no compromises on fps.I really dont mind spending a little bit more time if it means that its more stable and even a bit better. Im not able to choose a single distro. I dont prefer changing desktop environments after installation due to conflicting packages so please recommend a distro. Thanks in advance.

3060 Ti + i5 10400f build, Performance problems. **Status:** Unresolved **Computer Type:** Custom Build Pc **GPU:** Galax Nvidia 3060 ti (1 Click OC) **CPU:** Intel i5 10400f **Motherboard:** Asus h510m-k **RAM:** 2x8 Crucial 3200mhz Capped to 2666mhz because cpu doesn't support 3200mhz [16 gb in total] **PSU:** Gigabyte P650B 650W **Main drive [OS Drive]** 250 Gb lexar SSD **Secondary [Games drive]** 500 Gb WD HDD **Operating System & Version:** Windows 10 Pro Version 23H2 **GPU Drivers:** GRD 551 **Description of Problems** Low fps in Almost All Games! Stutters making games unplayable, extreme fps drops, computer is laggy even when opening files, sometimes crashing (explorer.exe has stopped responding) being slow in literally everything, gpu usage drops lower than cpu while in games causing low fps. Games that have problems are: Doom eternal, Resident evil 4 Remastered, Fortnite, Elden Ring, GTA Troligy Remaster. No clear reason, temps are fine (no 80 degrees and higher) no clear mining running, haven't run anything sketchy There are some other minor problems: I noticed that when moving the mouse the pc makes coil whining sounds [ONLY WHEN MOVING THE MOUSE] and weirdly only in the desktop, tried lowering mouse reporting hz, didn't help, also gpu clock speeds and usage vary when in use, gpu usage drops lower than cpu causing massive stutters and clock speeds are flunctioating under load. Also speakers, headphones make electrical noises, weird high pitch noise whenever it's plugged in, even when browsing [unrelated probably, ground loop?] Tried : Ddu to clean install drives, reverting nvidia drivers to version 537.58 (as recommended by others), resetting nvidia control pannel settings, turning off game mode, hardware acceleration, gpu scheduling, xbox game bar, moving games to ssd, none worked Haven't tried : clean install of windows, don't have any spare parts to try incase a part is broken. Note that i ran stable diffusion [ai art] on the pc, Although i did with keeping temps low and with power limits, could it have killed the gpu or any part?

I've just built my first PC about a month ago. The building process went perfectly to my delight (thank you Linus PC Building POV) however I've had some performance issues since. The only things brought from my previous build are my EVGA 750 GQ 80+ Gold and my 3060 ti. Everything else is completely brand new. Things were working great, except I would get some small stutter in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 where it'd stutter for a second and drop 1 fps to 59. I wanted to fix that and tried a youtube videos suggestion of increasing page file system to be the same amount as my RAM and using msconfig to set my CPU Cores. Doing this made everything worse. Tony Hawk was constantly stuttering to unplayable amounts. So I set those settings back to defaults, everything was still messed up. Tried system restore, it was successful (initially) but Chrome wouldn't open, so I restarted the PC and immediately started boot looping to BSOD Critical Process Died. Couldn't repair or load into safe mode. So I reinstalled windows. I was back up and running, but now all of my games and benchmarks intermittently stutter, BAD. Yesterday everything worked perfectly (HZD Benchmark and playtest, perfect. Shadow of Tomb Raider Benchmark, perfect. Tony Hawk, a few small stutters, but smooth 60 fps otherwise.) Today, every single thing stutters. Even Superposition has hitching. I've tried everything I can think of. My CPU temps never rise above 40 C gaming, my GPU usually sits around 64-74 max usage. Vids of hitching linked below. Please, any help is appreciate. (Crash Bandicoot is the smoothest, but you can see the FPS still waivers randomly.) I'm also on the latest Nvidia drivers.

Hello, I've been a theoretical PC enthusiast for a while but I recently finally decided to build my own pc. specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor Thermalright contact frame CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: ASRock Z690 PG Velocita ATX LGA1700 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory Storage: Western Digital Black SN850X 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive Storage: Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive Video Card: PNY RTX A-Series RTX A4500 20 GB Video Card Case: Antec DP503 ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 TT Premium 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Case Fan: ARCTIC P12 PST 56.3 CFM 120 mm Fans 5-Pack Windows 11 pro Thermals are stable. After some testing I had to set the the Ram to 5600 cl28 which solved my BOD problems and passed memtes86 and windows memory diagnostics. The PROBLEM: One of the main purposes of the build is to work on Solidworks, unfortunately after soldiworks loads up simple activities on a blank file are laggy (especially smart dimensions). This is very starange since this poblem occurs even a simple rectangle. I have a thinkpad p53s which in specs is much more inferior but it is fast enough for small to medium projects. VAR and solidworks forums so far have not been very helpful. Any soldiworks user out there that may have faced something similar? Please help.

Hello, I have a rather weird problem where my pc loses performance after waking from sleep. It all started after BIOS update Components: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX (rev. 1.2) Ryzen 5 7600x RTX 4070 Corsair rm750e G.SKILL 32GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Trident Z5 NEO AMD EXPO - CL30-38-38-96, voltage 1.35V (Expo1) ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO White Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 250 GB - boot driver (occupying slot M.2A) Kingston NV2 2 TB (occupying slot M.2B) NZXT H5 Flow with rgb fans Windows 11 pro Version (10.0.22621 Build 22621) Bios updated from version F9d to F20 using the Gigabyte Control Center then manually flashed to F21 with the issue not resolved. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-GAMING-X-AX-rev-10-11-12/support#support-dl-bios site I used to download BIOS, maybe it's related to new AGESA version? Anybody has an Idea on what's the problem? Thank you in advance for any helpful information.

I have a 13900K, a Zotac RTX 4090 Trinity OC, 128GB DDR5. My system is about to turn 1, and never had any issues with it before. Two days ago, after updating the Nvidia driver to the latest version, I noticed my framerate tanked in Forza Horizon 5. I'm talking going from a never wavering 60fps down to 42fps or lower. Restarting the game or Windows didn't do anything to fix it. I reinstalled the game -- didn't work. Installed the Microsoft Store version and it did work for a while, until I fast travelled and the game started having the same issue. Reinstalled it there -- didn't work. Tried other games I knew I never had any issues like that before; same thing. Looking for possible culprits, I started monitoring temps but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. GPU didn't go above 60C, and most of the time it spent around the 40-45C range. Nothing weird on the CPU front, but I did notice it running 5.8Ghz locked at all times, even when the PC was just sitting idle. Went into the BIOS and noticed that I had the Asus optimizations enabled, so I turned it off and set it to enforce all Intel limits. But it did nothing to fix the issue. So I figured I'd format my SSD and do a clean Windows 11 install, but the issue still persisted. I proceeded to test different driver versions within the 546 branch, and all of them seemed busted. So I downgraded to a different branch altogether and it did fix the issue. Played all evening last night with no issues at all. It's Sunday morning now and I just turned on my computer, and the issue is back and it's exactly the same. Weird and sustained frame drops with frame pacing all over the place. I'm running the 1.2 VBIOS version for my GPU (it came with this version out of the box), and as far as I know there isn't a newer version available. But I did notice my CPU is still running clocks higher than it needs to. I only have the browser open right as I type this message, and it's going at 5.7Ghz for no reason. I don't have any manual overclocking (unless it's a stock overclock I'm unaware of). I'm ripping my hair out trying to figure out what the hell is going on, so if anyone had anything similar happening to them or have any clue where to look, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, here for some help and recommendations from you. Current situation: My pc is a mini-itx FF with these components: i7-13700k 32GB (2x16) ddr5 6600mhz Asu Rog Strix B760-I GAMING WIFI 1st nvme ssd: 500GB 970 evo (GEN3 3,5GB/S) 2nd nvme ssd: 1TB Sabrent Rocket (GEN3 3,5GB/S) RTX 3070 These new components have been chosen cause the main use for this pc is just working with Adobe programs. Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. About Premiere Pro, i'll use raw 4k 60fps H264 and 1080p 60fps h.264 footage, then always export everything as 1080p 60fps (nothing so long cause these are just social media reels, stories ecc). In AE i'll use both 4k and full HD compositions. I'm planning to add a new 2TB nvme GEN4 ssd (7GB/S) as projects/files drive but... Questions: 1) As this motherboard has only 2 m.2 slots, is it optimal to keep the 970 as main OS + programs drive and change the Sabrent with a new 2TB gen4 and create a 500gb partition on it as a cache drive? The remaining 1,5TB will be my projects/files drive. (The Sabrent will be sold or just forgotten in a drawer lol) * i read around that rarely cache drive might fail or it might just happen. In this case just the 500gb partition will fail or the entire 2tb ssd? 2) Using 3 ssd nvme, the main OS + Programs drive will be the Sabrent, the new 2TB gen4 drive will be the projects/files drive and the 970 will be the cache drive BUT in an external ssd case plugged via usb type-c directly to the mobo on a 10gb/s port (1000mb/s). Is this speed enough for a cache drive in my case for editing 4k and 1080p footage? 3) Is there any actual difference in performance with a nvme gen3 3,5GB/S, a nvme gen4 7GB/S, and a nvme that runs at around 1000MB/s as mentioned above? Thx in advance.

Hello I was just wondering why my pc seems to have such bad performance for my specs, ive done research on where i should be with my exact specs and im nowhere close. My specs: Ryzen 5500 Rx 6600 8gb 16 gb Ram SSD 480gb Ill list some of the games ive tested: -battlefield V ultra around 80 high around 80-100 -Rust 55-90 -Hell let loose 50-70 with alot of stutters -CS2 90 fps on high To me these fps numbers seem very low in comparison to what ive seen and gotten as estimates before, Would love some tips on what could be wrong and if anyone has the same specs that could share some fps numbers! This is also with massive stutter problems usually with every game i test. Regards Harley

My friends build had a 1050ti before this with a Ryzen 5 3400g, now he upgraded to a 4070. The BIOS had to be updated before the install so he tells me (he went to a local PC shop to get it installed) We're incredibly disappointed by the performance and were wondering if any of you could help. We suspect the RAM being the issue due to its low speed, but can't be sure if the GPU really is this bottlenecked by the CPU. The things we've tried: -Clean driver installs -Enabling Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling in windows -Updating windows -Reinstalling all the games and nvidia programs At 1080p: (Both Cyberpunk demos had a mix of mostly medium and high with DLSS Performance mode on) -Cyberpunk 2077 Frame Gen on, RT Off in-game benchmark has average fps be 84, minimum 25, max of 141 (tho in actual gameplay we saw closer to 30-40 in the open world around 70-90 indoors) -Cyberpunk Frame Gen off , RT Off in-game benchmark has average fps 51, minimum 13, max 85 (again in actual gameplay it felt significantly lower than the benchmark) -Riders Republic with ultra settings and AA set at medium the in-game benchmark average fps 43, minimum 7 and max 60 -Fortnite at its Epic preset was very stuttery, jumping up and down between 30 and 60fps, took ages to load in one match. -Apex Legends set at all max settings, tripple buffered vsync, reflex+boost enabled, TSAA enabled basically locked at 60 - Spiderman Miles Morales was a complete mess, barely climbing out of 30s at all high RT off In all of those examples the CPU was going at all times around 100& while the GPU was chilling around 30-50% utilisation The screenshot was taken before we enabled XMP PSU is a Corsair CV650 So we're looking for your help to explain this odd behaviour, or if its to be expected with the specs

As it says in the title. I got a new 4TB NVME drive on Black Friday (this one, specifically: Predator GM7000 M.2 up to 2TB storage and 7400 MB/s read speed (predatorstorage.com)), and the first benchmark was in line with my 970 EVO. After getting my OS and files migrated and using it for about a week, performance dropped off a cliff. Here's the before and after in Samsung Magician: Is there anything I should know/try before returning this drive and getting a replacement? Am I misunderstanding SSDs, is this just a sucky one? I thought I did my research, and I made sure to get a drive with a DRAM cache (this one has 4 GB). I know it's TLC, but I thought that impacted lifespan way more than immediate performance, and I got a really really good deal so I wasn't worried if it only lasted several years instead of 5+.

Can someone explain why Corsair recommends disabling Fast Boot to make your SSDs run faster? This sounds insane, and they give absolutely no reason: https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052822291-Ensuring-peak-performance-for-your-MP600-M-2-SSD Corsair is the same company that wrote a whitepaper 15 years ago about some DDR2 or DDR3 RAM speeds being 40,000% faster (when it was only calculated as 400%). So I don't have much trust in what they're advocating.

Would a Gen 4x4 NVMe M.2 drive work faster than a native Gen 3x4 NMVe M.2 on a Gen 3x4 socket? (Taking into account they are designed to transfer data at speeds above the 3.94GB/s of Gen 3x4). Original: ¿Funcionaría más rápido una unidad M.2 NVMe Gen 4x4 que una nativa Gen 3x4 en un zócalo Gen 3x4? (Teniendo en cuenta que están diseñadas para transferir datos a velocidades superiores a los 3,94GB/s de Gen 3x4).

I'm looking to buy the MSI MPG 650 CARBON WI-FI for a future build to pair with the 7800X3D, but the PCI_E1, M2_2 & M2_3 share the bandwidth.. PCI_E1 will run at x8 speed when installing devices in M2_2 or M2_3 slots......Which I may in future if I need to add extra M.2 SSD. Will there be a substantial loss on the GPU performance from X16 speed to x8.

Hello everyone. I've been scouring the forums and haven't found exact same issue I'm having so hoping someone can help me out. I have a new PC (first time building myself) with the Ryzen 9 5900x and the MSI Gaming X Trio 4080, Asus Tuf Gaming x570 Plus WiFi Mobo, 32gb of 3200 CL16 RAM and thermal take 850w 80+ gold PSU. Over the past week I've noticed some performance issues in various games so I've ran some Furmark tests, 3D Mark Time Spy and a few others. Across the board I'm getting several thousand points lower than similar systems, including about 5000 less on time spy at 2560x1440. I've also noticed my CPU isn't going to full boost of 4.8 and is sitting at approximately 4.0-4.2 during these tests. On games such as Warzone 2, Battlefield 2042 I'm sitting at low 80s to low 100s at 1440p at all settings from low to ultra/extreme. The only thing that impacts it is going to 4k or turning on ray tracing. Even DLSS makes almost no difference. At most 5fps increase. I've gone through the DDU process, set D.O.C.P and tried every other setting suggested through various YT channels and Google searches. Lastly most of the time my GPU utilization sits around 75-80 with jumps to 95 and back down. I feel like something is wrong and my specs should be performing better. TL;DR Ryzen 9 5900x MSI 4080 running far below average, performance stays the same at all graphical settings minus change from 1440 to 4k. Thanks in advance for any tips or help.

A couple of years ago there was this scandal when it came to light that Apple was purposely slowing down older iPhone models without acknowledging it. There was a WAN Show segment about this. Tim Cook even apologized in multiple interviews, stating that Apple did this to increase battery longevity of older models, but acknowledged that he understood why people were upset and promised that they would put in a switch in the iOS Settings-app where the user could choose between keeping higher performance or keeping longer battery life for older devices. Now, many years later, in 2023, where is this switch?

Recently I upgraded from GTX 1070 to an Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti Gaming Oc. I started noticing that in most games my GPU usage with 1070 was around 100%, while with 3060 Ti it hovers around 60%. It results in a very similiar performance between these two cards. In the games I tested - Armored Core 6 and Remnant From the Ashes, the FPS were practically the same. In Cyberpunk 2077 and Deadlink, there is some improvement noticeable, however it is not as big as shown online. Additionaly, while performing benchmarks, I noticed that my results were sometimes as bad as 50% of the scores posted online. I tried DDU and clearing the BIOS, however nothing helped. What's more, the first time is switched the GPUs, my PC got stuck after the BIOS screen. I had to reset the BIOS to get it running. In superposition 1080p extreme, most users got around 7000, while my result is 3921. In Furmark 1080p benchamark most 3060 Tis score around 10k - 11k, while mine scored 6k. My PC: i5 8600k @4.5GHz 16GB ram 3200MHz 700W Silverstone PSU 2 x HDD 1 TB 2 x NVME 500GB
