Hello everyone, I'm having hope my issue will be resolved with your help I own a pc, it's specs are: MSI z590-a pro Intel i9-11900kf Corsair 32 GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3600 MHz Vengeance RGB Pro Black (CMW32GX4M4D3600C18) Gigabyte p850gm PSU MSI Suprim X 3090 graphics card WD Blue SN570 1tb Samsung 980pro 1tb Samsung evo 870 250gb 6 bequiet coolers silent wings 3 deepcool rgb coolers Bequiet Pure loop 360mm The issue that i'm having, is previously I owned DDR4 2х16GB/3600 G.Skill Ripjaws V Red (F4-3600C19D-32GVRB)G.skill ripjaws V red But decided to "upgrade" to prettier ram because I'm trying to do white build So,with that 2 sticks of 16gb my pc was working fine, undervolted gpu, undervolted cpu, xmp enabled, not much tinkering in bios to be frank After I "upgraded" my ram, I've encountered very weird issue, my pc turns off, I hear psu click, then after couple seconds another click, and it starts back up, each time, no matter how many times you turn it off it comes back on While I had my old ram i tried to remove all Corsair sticks and populate back slots for ram, the issue was not present, the problems that I have are only with this set of ram. I've tried to get back to Corsair about it, maybe they could've helped me, but they just asked for contact info to rma it, which I can't do from Ukraine (also, the ram was bought sealed off, unused so there is no way someone was using it before me) The only workaround I've found is after it powered off, manually turn off psu with a button on it's rear, by doing so - rgb on cpu block and on fans are starting to glow for a splitsecond and turned off, then I hear another click from psu like it's trying to start itself again, another click, and another click, all in a time of about 10-15 seconds. I know some might say it's not that big of a deal and just move on with it, but it's really frustrating, I can't turn it off from my phone anymore because it will just start itself and consume power. English is not my first language, sorry, ukrainian is. Thank you for reading, hopefully someone will find a solution

My laptop had an NVME with windows 11 installed, I took that nvme out and started using it on my pc(with a frehs windows install), then I toom out the SATA SSD my pc had and installed in into the laptop(currently the only disk in it) then I thought I should maybe try installing some linux distro and I tried linux mint but it didnt boot and instead I was getting booted into some file explorer which shows the SSD named as NO VOLUME LABEL and sone stuff below and now I tried installing ubuntu, windows 10 but no matter what I try it just boots into this (image attached) menu, I've tried restoring my bios to default but no luck, would greatly appreciate some help on this because now I have no idea what is going on and I need my latop in 2 days for a travel. thanks in advance

So, this is a little weird. The laptop was running fine until a Win11 update but then it started being SUPER slow for everything, even minor tasks as opening the files explorer take a long time now. At first I thought faulty disk as I had seen something similar before but lo and behold it seems... mostly fine? https://imgur.com/a/3v1bAuZ I noticed however that the cpu is clocked at 1.60GHz, which seemed weird at first until googling and checking that that's actually that cpu's base clock speed. Max 2.11Ghz seems weird though considering everything online said 4.20Ghz though, could that be the issue? https://imgur.com/a/t944oM8 Things I've done to check if it would fix things to no avail: *Ran sfc /scannow *Ran chkdsk /f /r *Uninstalled Java Runtime because I saw someone mentioning it online but that didn't do anything *Deleted temp files Specs: 512 GB M.2 SSD that's only like 10% full 8 gb ram i5 10210u Intel uhd 630 graphics Any help is really appreciated, don't know what to do anymore :(

So I have had my RTX 3080TI for a while now and the performance has been awesome as expected but I have had issues when it comes to the fans on this thing, so I don't know if anyone else who owns these cards have these issues but when I go on certain games and at random times the fans randomly start to speed up to a point it sounds like its taking off then slowly goes back to the normal fan speed. I have MSI after burner installed as well so I have tried tinkering with the fan speed and the curve but still come to the same results, I don't know if its because it's generally a hot card but I have an open case a thermal take on and as you can imagine I can hear it pretty well even through my headset it's getting to a point now where I am seriously debating on buying a new brand Even playing the likes of God of war on ultra I am getting 65 - 70C and the fans speed goes insane I have honestly ran out of idea's to why at random intervals the fans ramp up then instantly come down I am just wondering if anyone else have issue's like this I have attached my GPU information when the issues actually start and i just want to know if these readings are normal because the fans are going mental on certain games its driving me mad GPU-Z Sensor Log.txt

Hello everyone, So i recently bought a Gigabyte Gaming OC 4070 SUPER gpu and until a couple days ago everything was running like a dream... Then after i for some reason decided to install Gigabyte Control Centre and updated the firmware to F1.1 from gigabytes site, after which everything especially games look weird... Its super grainy and makes my eyes tired fast which is weird and has never happened before... Please suggest a solution ( i am on Windows 10 if that helps )

Hello guys, i need help for my friend, see the problem is he bought a used Inno3D RTX 3060Ti GPU and he's experiencing issues, for exmp: Starts R6 Siege, and after 5 mins of gameplay hes monitor starts to turn off and back on again sometimes faster sometimes slower, like he loses input or how to say, and his sound card wich he usess for his studio mic/etc goes off too so he cannot speak or hear things, i think he has a Gen2 or Gen3 Pcie slot but i have an rtx 4060 with an gen3 slot and i have no issues maybe he has issues cause of the gen2/gen3? please help (im not sure if he has gen 2 or 3 pcie i dont remember i have to ask him again if hes online)

As stated in the title, my hard drives sometimes produce a high pitched ringing sound, similar to tinnitus or this 13000HZ sound. My drives have never failed and exhibit normal operation and speeds, and additionally sound normal when it's not ringing. However, in HWInfo, there are a couple warnings for some drives, which have been listed down below: S.M.A.R.T - [C5] Current Pending Sector Count: 100/Always OK, Worst 100 (Data = 104,0) - [C6] OFf-Line Uncorrectable Sector Count: 100/Always OK, Worst 100 (Data = 104,0) Device Statistics - Read Recovery Attempts: 24 - Number of Reallocation Candidate Logical Sectors: 104 - Number of High Priority Unload Events: 2 - Number of Reported Uncorrectable Errors: 24 For reference, I'm using 14TB Seagate Exos Enterprise drives, these are brand new, having under 200-hours of total power-on time. Does this high-pitched ringing signal an imminent drive failure? Thank you in advance for your support and expertise!

Hey, Ive recently created a post about a booting problem: In a nutshell, i forced the PC to turn off during boot cycle. Afterwards I kept stuck booting with no post (r5 7600, 32gb Flare X5 6000Mhz ram, B650i Lightning). On this mainboard, the Power LED kept blinking at a frequency of ~ 2Hz. Going into manuals, this led me to a failure in Ram OC. Since no one was able to help, I ordered a Mainboard (MSI B650i edge wifi) and a spare pair of RAM to troubleshoot. Now, as stated. DRAM and CPU debug LEDs are led. I used the new RAM and Mainboard. Only the CPU (and my SF750) is from my build. Since the problem seems to consist, is my CPU dead? And if so, how in the world did that happen? To rule things out, i let the test system do its things, as I know DDR5 can take some time upon first boot, but after 30mins no change in sight. I have tried the old RAM on the new Board and the new RAM on the old Board. Just to be clear, as some of you may not want to read my old article, the problem ist definitely not solved by clearing the CMOS. I ruled that out. One last step I could try is to use the Bios Flashback on the new Board to load the newest BIOS. But the button does not trigger the flashback process, though the name of the file, the slot and the stick was formatted correctly. Furthermore, I doubt it will help since useing BIOS Flashback didnt help on the old board neither. By old I mean a four months old system consisting out of only new parts. As I did all testing without a GPU. So a GPU problem can be ruled out (same for my ssd). I hope someone has a tip. I was hoping the Debug LEDs could help me figure out the problem, but I find it hard to believe the CPU just died. Cheers

My sister was playing on her switch in the car on a road trip and when she plugged it in to the car to charge, the fans got really loud for a few seconds and then it calmed down... No issues in gameplay is that normal?(Update she was playing Pokemon Violet) Never happens when I use it to play Mario kart

Specs: GPU, Amd Radeon rx 6600 ASRock challenger Mother board, B650m aorus elite ax CPU, ryzen 7000 RAM, Flare x5 ddr5, 16 gb (X4) PSU, Corsair rm750e Details: When first building the computer everything was going well, the out of case test was successful, it booted to bios and everything was detected, after test conclusion I put it in the case, attached a couple extra fans, after everything was set up the red CPU indicator light is now on (previously it was not, no OS has been assigned or used for the computer, brand new parts) I have tried reseating CPU, I analysed the pins, none of which are bent, there is an even spread of the correct amount of thermal paste on the CPU itself, none has touched any of the pins. I have removed three of the ram sticks and have kept one at the farthest edge away from the CPU itself, the PSU works fine, the fans are all working as they should, I don't know what to do.

I recently bought a BC-250 server blade as a project to play around with and I'm a bit at a loss, the software compatibility overall is pretty terrible, most Linux distributions not even booting up their installers properly, I managed to get Ubuntu server 20.04 running and I even managed to get the graphics drivers to install, which hadn't worked on Ubuntu desktop 20.04 or the newest version but even there the initialization failed, I've been wanting to get it running games to help make some mining hardware not ewaste but I've run into a bit of a brick wall and any help would be appreciated. I'm trying out some other Linux distributions while I write this to see if they have any luck Tldr It's a bc250, it uses a cut down Ariel/Oberon chip with a cyan skillfish GPU section. Windows drivers flat out don't exist as far as I can tell and the Linux ones don't seem to work, the furthest I've gotten is various states of failed initialization in Ubuntu server and would appropriate help from anyone who might be knowledgeable with the hardware or Linux in general. Thanks!

Hey! Bought a new PC (specs below) and everything was fine in the first month or so, turned on XMP, tried undervolting and it was fine for 2-3 weeks, started to notice lag issues and crashes from time to time so i turned everything back to default, even though i set it back the lag was gone for abit but games kept crashing, now i crash in almost any game i play sometimes i get error codes sometimes i wont, and the crashes happens very often i can play a game of Call of Duty and 15 min in i crash and when i crash there i have issues even getting into the menu before crashing. Games where ive crashed constantly is: AC Odyssey, MW3 Warzone, Lethal company (this crashes every 1-5 minutes its unplayable), i crash in Tekken 8, i lag hard in BO4 Zombies i have crashed here but not too often, multiple single player games like Death Stranding, i crash constantly on Terraria even, League of legends seems fine ive had crashes there but its like 2 total same goes for Valorant. So im basically stuck to playing Valorant or League of Legends only otherwise id be crashing left and right. Ive tried fixing these crashes with the games properties, running them as administrator, running them in dx11, tried running them with Full Screen Optimization turned off ive tried running them in windows 8 compatibility mode, ive factory reset the computer 2 times nothing seems to work and im unsure what else to do, i write here in hopes to get some help from experienced people who know alot more than i do.

So, back then it used to produce this noise: (This was me recording back then around october.) And now this is what happens: https://youtu.be/L5ewjh1vjhM?si=h1YWLe3xiFDRokC3 The grinding fan noises have seemed to have dropped exceptionally well on its own. So at above 70% fan speed or (2300 rpm) it would slowly make that annoying noise like in the 2nd video. And on the 1st video it produces that LOUD of a noise at like 60+ or 60% fan speed. Im left confused as to how it resolved on its own. Or maybe it's just a wire hitting the gpu. I have planned in advance to finally once in for all have this gpu checked and maybe get replaced by a professional but im still thinking about it. (here's a video of me peeking at the fans) As you can see nothing is hitting the fans in my pov atleast: https://youtu.be/VrZvoWUE9yA?si=0bPjugY7r0amNZYS

For the past 2-3 months I've had an issue where my CPU will randomly drop to 0.4 GHz even though it's nowhere near overheating and is on full battery. I've tried and tried again to fix the issue but cannot find any solutions. Laptop Specs: Model Name: Lenovo Ideapd Gaming 3 15ACH6 - Type 82K2 AMD Ryzen 5600H 16 GB RAM @ 3200Mhz Nvidia Geforce 1650 Max Q Normally: In Games: The max CPU temp that Lenovo has set is 80 degrees. The issue only seems to happening in games, I have no idea why. I've seen intel users have the exact same problems and solutions for those included ThrottleStop which isn't available for AMD CPUs. I've tried resetting Windows, installing Windows from a fresh ISO, updating my BIOS, reinstalling my graphics drivers and nothing has worked.

I can’t get out of the screen that tries to boot up to a safe mode it just restarts pc on loop when it load the logo, under the logo it says preparing and then restarts on loop

I ran some benchmarks (UserBenchmark and PassMark) and they both tell me that my pc is running below its capacity, compared to other similar PCs. More specifically, the problem seems to be with the graphics card. I have a Ryzen 5 5500 with a RTX 3070 (I know there is bottleneck in this configuration), but when I watch videos on YouTube of games running in this configuration, they all run much higher than I can get. Also, I recently installed the new Horizon Forbidden West, and I got an average of 40 FPS running everything on very low at 1080p. Something is wrong, but I don't know what else I can check. Any tips, suspicions? I bought this card at the beginning of last year, but it was used. It is a version of Gainward (Phoenix) that has LHR. Could it be that if it was used for mining, the graphics chip may be "tired" causing low performance? Is there anything I can validate on my own? Well, I did everything I could do with basic recommendations I received on Reddit. GPU Driver: most up-to-date possible (551.86). BIOS: most up-to-date possible F19 (AORUS B550M v1.3). All drivers updated. RAM XMP active. All AMD video drivers deleted (deleted with DDU). Resizable Bar enabled. I didn't notice any FPS improvement. As I said initially, I have no errors or problems, only extremely low performance for the GPU, given the comparisons with the same GPU + CPU combo that I researched online. Would anyone have any more tips or have gone through something similar that they managed to solve? To consolidate, below are all the links to prints and benchmarks that I have done so far: Passmark: https://www.passmark.com/baselines/V11/display.php?id=206562112913 GPU-Z: https://gpuz.techpowerup.com/24/03/30/hru.png https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/636/vkhjNm.png(Horizon FW in game prtscrn) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/3243/RMF53e.png(3D Mark Demo - Print 1) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/6237/WNtBQd.png(3D Mark Demo - Print 2) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/7117/OxvFPP.png(3D Mark Demo - Print 3) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/9027/GiM0d4.png(CPUZ) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/3707/O63x0Y.png(CPUZ) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/3862/wkGdzi.png(CPUZ) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/1589/ydOwRg.png(CPUZ) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/8166/28I7qR.png(CPUZ) GPU installation: Full picture of Mobo (AORUS B550M v1.3): https://static.gigabyte.com/StaticFile/Image/Global/883819369cb3d1be25acc0ba9d5e72ab/Product/32692

I tried to update my sound drivers when PC ran in to a problem. Blue screen was just in loop, then i decided to clean my pc and reinstall windows 10 when another problem appeared. I tried changing those value in the photos and still nothing. I can only pull up bios settings and command promt.

Hello There, So this is my last resort cause I was not able to find much useful and working info on this on the web. So I have a gaming laptop and the specs are as follows: HP - 15-ec2xx CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H Graphics 1: RTX 3050 mobile, Memory: 4GB GDDR6 SDRAM Graphics 2: (Integrated) AMD Cezanne - Internal GPU, Memory: 512 MB DDR4 SDRAM RAM: 32GB DDR4 So my issues are: Whenever I start a game (GTA5 and RDR), the RTX graphics card or AMD card is used. I won't use the RTX card often and that makes the CPU go nuts it takes most of the game load and overheats. To make sure I am not making any other cooling mistakes. I made sure to clean my laptop and also did a repaste, the temps did improve and reduced quite a bit but the GPU issues persist. The second issue I have is that I am not able to train any AI&ML models, I know that 4GB is a pretty low amount of RAM to do any AI&ML training but it's also more than enough to train a few small models to manage quite minute tasks. and I use Python Torch for basic AI&ML training and torch won't acknowledge the RTX GPU nor the AMD GPU and tries to build/train the model using the CPU. What I did to tackle this: I tried a multitude of driver options and also installed dev support for my GPU. I tried installing Ubuntu in duel boot and tried running my training model on that but the same issue persists. I tried using other libraries to train the models and they also failed to detect the GPUs. I tried installing any drivers I found and ran all the tests, but none worked. I tried the Nvidia-utils to detect I have the GPU present and that worked. What should I do? What can I do? How can I determine the issue?

Hey there I have the following issue: When I boot up my PC and start playing a game or run a benchmark my results/FPS are lower than the average for the hardware. When I restart the PC and try the same things everything runs as expected. If I put the PC to sleep and then wake it up and try again my performance is worse just like in the first scenario. Some concrete numbers: 3D Mark TimeSpy for GPU score specifically runs at about 24-25k when performance is lower and at 28k when everything works fine (after a restart) Red Dead Redemption 2 - in the bad scenarios I get about 100-110 FPS average, in the good scenario I get about 160-170 FPS Specs: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB 6000Mhz RAM, RTX 4080 SUPER The issue is GPU only, my CPU score when running TimeSpy stays the same in all 3 scenarios while the GPU runs well only after a restart. I've tried both DDU and fresh windows install, fast boot is off in both windows and bios. I've attached two images of a bad scenario after an initial bootup and a good scenario after I restart the PC.

While playing games like Fortnite, Outer Worlds, Ghostwire Tokyo with my GTX 1070, I get frame drops into low 40s-50s at every single setting while looking at areas with buildings for some reason, with 60% GPU and CPU utilization (CPU utilization sometimes goes to 100% but goes back down) while getting these low frames.. All online benchmarks show much higher fps with a setup similiar to mine. Specs below: GTX 1070 Ryzen 5 2400g MSI B350m Pro-Vdh Samsung 2x8 DDR4 2666mhz 2X4 DDR4 2400mhz (Running at 2133 mhz as I cannot enable XMP) Aerocool 600w 80+ bronze PSU Twinmos SATA 512 GB SSD Windows 10 Home I'm also sure that my computer is utilizing the GTX 1070 and not the Vega 8 graphics

Hello everyone, I want to start out by saying that I posted this earlier today and had marked it as resolved. But as it turns out, it wasn’t resolved. The pc repair shop guy said the card was working normal in the shop, so we then concluded it was the shitty psu. I bought a msi mag a850G, set it all up, updated my motherboard bios, did a ddu once again on the 1080 I had on the system, and even after all this, the 3070 still doesn’t output an image… I also saw on the psu website that there might be a correct orientation of the pcie cables when a card has 2 8pin pcie requirement, I have followed that precisely. I Have also swapped around the pcie connectors exchanging them from right to left to left to right. Still nothing. In case you’re wondering if ram is a problem, my 16gb get detected correctly in bios and in windows with the 1080 plugged in. I really am out of options, and in need of a miracle lol Below I will leave the original transcript of the previous post I had done. Yesterday I bought a second hand EVGA FTW3 Ultra RTX 3070 from a guy I know. He sent me a video of it working prior to me buying it. I have no reason to not believe in him. Before this purchase I had a gtx 1080 on my pc which worked fine. Sometimes the pc would randomly shut down, but I gave that up to regular windows shenanigans... I have already done somewhat extensive troubleshooting and have narrowed things down. With this post I'm just setting myself up in case of either two things. 1 I missjudge something and have not proceded in a correct way or 2 I have done everything that i could have and it's either a problem of the psu or the card. I will know provide you with a list of specs and a list of the things i've done to try and remediate the current situation. PC SPECS i5 11400f with aio 16GB DDR4 corsair platinum ram - XMP 1 3200MHz GTX 1080 / RTX 3070 Gigabyte B560M Aorus Elite M-ATX Motherboard 80+ Bronze 700W Kolink PSU (Don't quite know the exact model, but those are correct specs) (Recommended psu Watts for the 3070 is 650 btw) (Have now bought an msi mag a850g as said in the beginning) 2 Sata SSD's one is 1tb, and the other is the boot drive with 512gb capacity Windows 11 Home - activated Troubleshooting First i ran ddu with all its recommended settings, but without being in safemode and without unplugging the ethernet; (Which I realized later might have been a mistake that led to my current situation) After running ddu and asking it to automatically shut down, i plugged in the 3070 and it gave me no display. I tried all ports (1 hdmi and 3 DP), none gave me a signal, but everything was as it should except for the fact that it did not give me image. My thoughts were this might be a psu problem because of the random shutdowns and whatnot, but now i don't think so as i've found the correct way to use DDU which i will be doing once again when i get home from work. Other solutions were, using two separate pcie cables, because before i was using a single one to power my 8+6 Pin 1080. This was so because my psu has two separate pcie cables, both with dual 8 pin ends. I think you get what i'm saying if not, just let me know and ill try to explain better. Unfortunately this did not work. RTX 3070 needs 2 8 pin pcie cables fyi. I then plugged in my 1080 but this time with the two different pcie cables instead of just one with the dual 8 pin. This worked on my 1080 so the cables were not the issue. I also tried a cmos flash with a screwdriver, which also did not work. After that i tried formatting my pc with a bootable usb. Whilst inside the windows 11 configuration i was obviously using my 1080, and i had the ethernet plugged in so it grabbed drivers for that. After the configuration i shut down the pc and tried the 3070, to no avail. So i think that narrows it down to a faulty utilization of the DDU program. When I get home I will use it correctly in safe mode and will be unplugging the ethernet. Also, I will download rtx 3070 drivers beforehand, just in case something weirds out idk. Let me know if this is the correct approach or if i am missing something. I will update this post once i have tried this. Have you any other suggestions? Thanks for taking the time! UPDATE 1 So, I will have the card brought to a pc repair shop in my local area so they can plug it in and tell me if it's workng or not. The guy from the shop has told me that he does not think it's a psu issue, as, even though the psu might not be the best, it should be able to handle the card in a low usage environment i.e booting up the system. Because it does do just fine with the gtx 1080 I have which, according to him, does pull more power to turn on compared to an rtx 3070, so that somewhat excludes the psu as a problem. UPDATE 2 Card works, as per the pc repair shop guy. I will buy a new psu and see how it goes.

Hello! Introduction to the problem: This issue is not mine to solve but one I attempted to help my younger brother with and am now having issues with. I will include all the necessary info via a photo of his system info. I gifted my younger brother his first PC with what was my first starter build, his mother board is an ASRock B450m/ac, originally it only had 250gb ssd installed, this eventually became a problem for him as he's a gamer and is currently playing the new COD MW3, any players of the current COD games would know this game is extremely storage taxing and will take up most of the storage when all you have is 250gb to work with, I instructed him to buy a new ssd with at least 1T of storage if he wants to be able to play the games he is wishing to be able to play on the pc as COD was obviously not going to work error free when he was only allowed 5gb of storage when the game is fully downloaded. He was running out of storage during the gameplay thus causing the game to crash when it would reach its limit. He purchased a Crucial P3 1TB PCIe 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD (C1000P3SSD8) via my instruction and go ahead as I'd checked over and over with multiple sources whether or not it was compatible with his current motherboard and got a confirmation every time that it was indeed compatible. The problem: I instructed him to use his external hdd to install a windows 11 backup media so that he may reinstall it once the new M.2 was installed, which he did successfully. Once he'd removed and installed the new M.2 to his pc, and attempted to reboot, his PC will not boot into BIOS at all. He's tried every key possible, we've checked if it was installed correctly several times, we have been totally unsuccessful with every troubleshooter i was able to find, i've never had an issue such as this and am running out of options for support aside from taking the PC to get looked at by tech support at our local shops. If anyone could get back to me today/tonight about this solution i'd be very appreciative, as I was the one instructing him during this process and I dont want to scare him away from buying and installing his own PC parts in the future, thank you in advance!

I need some quick assistance with my Nvidia GTX 1660 Super GPU. I've had it for almost three years, and until recently, it ran at a cool 65-70 degrees Celsius during gaming sessions like Overwatch. I understand that over time, GPUs can experience some degree of heating. In fact, I've been vigilant about monitoring its temperature, even when it reached around 75 degrees Celsius about a year ago. However, out of nowhere, the temperature has shot up to a concerning 85 degrees Celsius without any changes to my setup or game settings. Any ideas on what might be causing this sudden spike in temperature? Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

I purchased a used 4060ti. I want to test it before to make sure it’s good. My first problem is booting up the pc and with the display chord connected to the graphics card my computer monitor says it doesn’t detect a connection. I have to connect the display port to the motherboard to utilize the igpu in the 7600x. I have a Msi motherboard and can’t seem to figure out if the graphics card is being detected. Will it say the name of the graphics card explicitly like it says the name of my cpu? So far I ran Furmark but have no clue if I did it right because my score seemed low. Any ways to find scores that my pc should be getting with it’s 7600x and 4060ti?
