it can be heaven, superposition, or valley Usually when these programs crash they give an error code if it isn't related to gpu and memory clock stability issues

can you try and run one of the unigen benchmarks and tell me if there is an error code as that could help

then that is even more likely to be the problem as one of those installs may have messed up some of the files that don't get uninstalled using the uninstaller so a clean reinstall of the driver would be the best bet

it could also be drivers for that I would also try reinstall the drivers using DDU

I would try checking the graphics card drivers and if updating fails I would do a full reinstall of the drivers using DDU to remove the drivers

I'm currently in the market for a storage drive to put in my laptop and I was wondering if there is any significant differences between both of these m.2 ssd's and what your experience has been with them if you own one of them? Laptop: Lenovo P52: i7 8750h, Quadro P1000, 16gb ddr4 Note: currently I have a Sabrent Rocket 256gb as my boot drive and a 500gb hard drive as my storage drive and my laptop has 2 m.2 slots so I will be keeping the boot drive

it really depends on the the games you play ie: if you playing Microsoft flight then probably but if you playing gta 5 then most likely not. But in my experience the older the game the less likely your CPU is going to the be the bottleneck

you can as long as you turn on usb debugging to enable this feature here is a thread where Samsung helped someone with a semi similar problem External Storage won't Mount on S10+ - Samsung Community

Honestly the best way it to have the ram configured in that way by taking out the old ram and plugging in the system and running the types of software that you would use on a daily basis. But I think in this situations though the extra capacity will be more beneficial then the dual channel hybrid configuration edit: changed most to this

there are some 6 pin to 8pin adapters that have another power source like molex or sata power supplementing the 6 pin to make up the difference but these methods are usually not recommended. But as for if your gpu requires it that is most likely the case as many times companies like ASUS, gigabyte and MSI tend to factory overlock their top tier gpu's causing higher power draw than the OEM spec

Thats for the reference design of the 3060ti this specific gpu has 2x8pin

There will always be some fluctuation with fps and if your running the highest of settings on directx 11 mode I don't think those number are too far off the expected but as for trouble shooting I would try something like ddu to uninstall the drivers and then reinstalling them also check to see if thermals on the gpu are in check (which they probably will be as that isn't old gpu.)

Also if you start running simulations then the required hardware tends to go through the roof

Yeah it really comes down to the complexity of the model I used to run a 7th gen i3 laptop back when I was initially getting into 3d design(roughly a year ago) but as my models got more complex I obviously had to upgrade.

I would usually go with the Phanteks p400a digitial which usually hovers around $90 but due to the virus it seems to be either sold out has hyper inflated prices but if you want to stick a cheaper case then I would definitely go the the phanteks p300a which usually goes for $50 - 60 and add a couple fans
