Yes you do need a new motherboard. And the guy is wrong. No new intel only supports there motherboard for 1 additional year max when it comes to new cpus. higher frames need more power. higher settings need more power. try with your 1070 first and see if you are happy. Your 1070 is 2060 equalient i think.

Does the psu have a green label or black? There is no nvidia equalient. You could go for the 2070 super which is more powerful for $100 more or a 2060 super which is weaker but the same price.

Ok another possiblity. you cracked something to do with the core components. Like the cpu or mobo. Is it over heating? Are the fans super loud? Any werid things coming on the screen as it dies.

Its not the scratches. something inside it is broken. Either the HDD or Blu ray drive. Probably the blu-ray drive. The scratches are just a determint to looks.

Well mate. Yeah stuck then RIP.

IIIKKKRRRR. I LOVE HP KEYBOARDS. The only good about that was the keyboard and the speaker (for a $500 laptop from 2011)

Sennheiser HD 599 with the latest modmic.

god I should fire up my old probook 4530s with an SSD to test this because I have been on quad cores since 2017 so I dont remember. I honestly just blamed the 7200 RPM HDD on that probook not the SANDYBRIDGE dual core.

OK mate. I can solve your problem but it needs money. Step 1: Sell your 1020 G2 Step 2: Buy either a XPS 13, Spectre x360 13t 2020 version, 2020 macbook Air with an i5 or i7. Step 3: .... Step 4: Frustration free profits.

I honestly feel like its his Dual core which is bothering him.

Whatever looks cooler.

Which CPU? ram amount?

Ram? CPU? Can it maintain boost clocks? What is the ram usage? Because mate, something is broken. Its not supposed to be like this. This is a ultrabook not those fucking netbooks from 2010 (SHUDDER)

Ray trace = EXPENSIVE right now. I would say try for a 2060 super and R5 3600. Get atleast 3600 mhz and CL 18 ram.
