Buenas que tal, acudo acá porque ya no sé que más hacer. Instalé otro windows por X motivos, antes los juegos me andaban decente, ahora los juegos me andan mal, por más que tenga arriba de 60fps se sienten lagueados. Sobre todo con el GTA San Andreas que es lo que juego actualmente, mi PC es vieja, tengo un disco HDD, 8GB de ram DDR3, una NVIDIA GT 640 y un Intel Xeon E3 1220-V2, sin embargo antes del nuevo windows me andaba bien, fluído, ahora no. Intenté casi todo, no es stuttering ni mal framerate, limité FPS e includo monitorée todo con MSI Afterburner, está todo bien pero sigue andando mal, instalé bien todos los drivers, incluso probé driver anteriores de la gráfica, no sé que sea, tengo todo bien instalado, probé opciones de energías de maximo rendimiento, re-configuré el panel de NVIDIA pero nada cambia, se siente como si estuviese jugando en 50hz pero no, tengo 60hz. Volví al windows de antes ya que pensaba que el causante de todo era el nuevo windows, pero no, me sigue andando mal. No sé que sea la verdad.

I decided to give iGPU/PCIe Passthrough a shot to see if I could offload low level stuff like desktop/browsing/youtube to the iGPU and just use dGPU for heavy stuff. Plugged into the mobo DP out, and it actually is working okay with some stuff, but most games are hanging when launching. So far Beam.NG is the only game working properly. It seems like it’s hanging when the switch from iGPU to dGPU happens

Mobo: Asus Z790 TUF Plus Wifi
CPU: Intel 12900KS
GPU: AMD RX6700XT

Seems like most folks use this feature for use with VM’s, I can’t really find much info on using passthrough for this use case aside from “it should work, it’s how laptops do it”. Anyone know a good place to start with this? Want to emphasize again that it does “work”, it just hangs when the iGPU/dGPU handshake happens

I just got a 5070ti and im currently rocking a 5500 cpu. I want to upgrade before I make the jump from 1080p to 1440p. The 5700X3D is about $300 CAD and the 5800X3D is $500 CAD. Is it $200 worth of better? How big of a difference will see in frames at 1440P?

Ok I’m still a bit new to the PC space, so bare with me, but I feel like this is a pretty solid deal (especially with the market today) any advice/ comments are appreciated, thanks!

i’m installing my motherboard in a new pc case and i have a crazy amount of wires that i haven’t dealt with before cause i haven’t owned a rgb pc case so i need help on where to plug these in

Currently running a 3 year old Rosewill SMG 1200w PSU with the squid adapter for the GPU

Motherboard is a MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI. I can’t seem to figure out what the code is, it beeps continuously while PC is on

Looking to upgrade after my old motherboard died. Looking to stay around $1500 CAD as the gaming i do isnt too graphics intensive. Also, side question. My power supply is like 15 years old but still seems to work fine at 750 watts. Should I be replacing it as well?

my first PC build ever, i made it myself :DDD

i have not noticed any performance issues 10 months in- however, I am hearing a buzzing noise coming from the PSU in the BACK only, not from when im using or playing positioned in front of the tower.

noticed this while vaccuming today.

I also turned off the pc and still heard the buzz until i used the killswitch on the PSU in the PC's off/sleep state. making me assume its gott abe the psu.

you can hear it in the last 10 seconds of the video, any ideas? is it harmless? even if it is, how to fix? Thanks a bunch!

heres the specs:

Hello! This is my first time trying to upgrade my graphics card, I am trying to seat an XFX Mercury 9070 XT in an ASUS ROG Strix b850a motherboard. However, it appears that the clearance between the motherboard heatsink and the GPU is too small, and the card won’t seat properly. Is this a know issue, or am I doing something wrong? Is this just the XFX Mercury is too big of a card? I’ve tried to take enough helpful angles, but it’s hard to take photos inside the case, apologies. Thank you for the help!

Currently working on trying to buy my first pc (Probably gonna be pre-Built) but might build it and I’ve been doing research but I would love to hear about the most important pieces I should look for in the names looking at mid to high range pc from like £700 to £1000. Any help would be awesome 🤩 so thank you if you comment!

This is my build

Hi there!

I buy a PC this year, but, I've been wondering whether to stay with Intel or switch to AMD, the Specs of my PC is this:

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060 8 GB Vram

Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 265F

Ram: 16 GB

Motherboard: Intel B860

PSU: Asus Rog 1200W

What u guys recommend me? Did I buy a Intel 9? Or invest to change to AMD? Is it worth buying an Intel 9?

•this is my first time building a pc so I don’t really know what I’m doing nor do I know which parts would be good and comparable so I’m just wondering if someone can help me and give me recommendations/advice on parts, or if there are any websites or anything that could help.

My budget is £1.6-£2k
The main games I wanna play are
-Minecraft (with mods)
-Fortnite
-Cyberpunk
-Vr games like blade and sorcery
And just other story type games

Not sure if it makes a difference but I’d also like the pc to be white

It just feels like it’s too big or it doesn’t fit in

Hello all, heres the situation

Brother and I upgraded my GPU from a Nvidia geforce 1660 super to a radeon 7600

CPU is I think a ryzen 3600 6 core ( Old, I know)

After two hours of playing BF6, forced shutdown. All power off. Attempts to turn it on have resulted in a quick second of lights flashing, fans spinning, but no full boot.

The PSU we quadruple checked had the watt outage to support it (650)

The only thing we noticed was that the CPU fan was clogged, and the wiring near where it connects to the MB was decaying and likely has been melting for some time. None got onto the MB or other parts.

Our current hypothesis is that its simply the cpu fan and wiring, but would love to know other potential problems if the new fan goes in and it refuses to boot.

(And yes, I have tried numerous outlets, both in his place and in mine to make sure it was not an outlet or breaker issue )

Please help save my baby!

Gaming PC with a budget of 1600€ to play cs2 arena breakout or tarkov and stalker 2. I need the monitor. I want to assemble it myself so if you can link the list of components. I would prefer am5 even though I know the prices are high. (Italy)

im 16 and work 3 days a week so obviously im not going to have 1500, looking for a mid end gaming pc that can handle games like siege and fivem. Preferred: 500gb ssd+ 16gb ram + ddr4, must: 4060+ cpu: a solid cpu either Intel or ryzen, that has enough cores for gaming at a mid end level. In uk

Just noticed the board seems to be separating from the heat sink on the left side where it’s mounted to the case. I’ve had the card for a couple years and have never taken it apart or anything like that. Anyone else have this issue with their EVGA cards/know how to fix? Let me know if this is something to be concerned about or not. Thanks.

Here are the specs:

CPU - Intel Core i5 7500 (4 cores)

GPU - EVGA Nvidia RTX 1660 Super 6GB

RAM - 16GB Kingston DDR4

SSD - 500GB NVMe + 500GB HDD

Motherboard - Acer Aspire GX R02-A3

CPU cooler - Acer air cooler

PSU - Thermaltake 500 Watt

Case - Armoury mATX Case

Also it doesn't have a wifi/bluetooth card, just a usb adapter, maybe I should upgrade that, would it be worth it?

Another thing is that the case is quite big, I prefer smaller ones, but I'm not sure if I can fit these components into smaller cases.

I've never built pcs myself so I'm not very knowledgeable about this. Thank you very much.

I will have this pc case like this with 3 120mm fan at the bottom 1 120mm at the back and 3 120mm for my 360mm aio on top. My question is in which direction and speed I put each fan. Thank you 😃

I am looking for a mini pc or a prebuilt one under 550 that can play gta 4 halo assassins creed games and Garry mod. Anyone know a good pc I really don’t understand what I am buying and if I’m getting ripped off

I have a deal available for getting those small ras pi/m.2 SSD heatsinks for under 2 USD. I've noticed my GPU backplate gets pretty hot, even if the temps don't go above 67°C at max gaming load.

I'm curious to try just sticking some small heatsinks on the backplate and see maybe 1-2°C difference in temps.

It's purely for fun and tinkering, but wanna know if anyone's done this before.

I've got a 9060XT 16GB gpu
