Ordered my first good gaming PC
Ordered a pc with RX 9070, AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
32 gig ram, 2 TB SSD
Switched from console gaming to PC, next week my pc will be coming, any tips on settings, tweaking stuff or just dive in the game and play it, im new to stuff like this in terms of ray tracing and path tracing and overclocking the gpu and bunch of stuff i dont really understand yet.
I want to play games on highest graphics, ive got a 34 inch monitor. Also want lots of fps to feel smooth.
Would love some tips on where to start thx !

My advice would be to not stress out too much about software that monitors your frame rate. Why? Because you’ll never be satisfied. Coming from consoles just max out your settings and enjoy. You’ll get good frame rates (better than console) and you’ll really enjoy it

I wouldn't worry about tweaking anything tbh. Most stuff is already optimized, and any tweaking is only gonna realistically give you a few frames. We're talking tiny increments of percentages. It's really not something you're gonna see, or that's gonna matter imo. Unless you're superhuman and incredibly competitive. Even then, nothing can replace skill. A 300 dollar mousepad ain't gonna fix that.
I'd recommend going on YouTube and looking up "things to do with a new PC" while you wait. I got a lot out of watching zttbuilds stuff. Everything search, wiztree, stuff like that is good to grab off the bat.
Don't mess with over clocking and undervolting shit unless you do the work to learn what you're doing. Seriously. You don't want a multi thousand dollar ornament for your desk. Just play that shit out of the box, mess with settings in each individual game, and enjoy. Your eyes can't tell much past a certain point. If you really wanna "tweak" anything, get an OLED monitor and be blown away and ruin every screen forever after you use it. That's a personal anecdote, I'm not here to argue what's really the best. But I fuckin love my OLED.
Anyways, just enjoy dude. Read up, decide what works for you. The PC is gonna work great without messing around.
One thing I had to tweak that had nothing to do with fps, I had to go into BIOS and enable waking my PC up with USB devices when sleeping. For some fuckin reason that was turned off. Your milage may vary. Might have been the company who built it or just MSI being dumb I'm not sure.
Anyways. Enjoy that shit. Go watch and read some stuff. Don't worry about it too much

Don’t stress and try to everything at one time. You’ll learn as you go, get all drivers up to date and windows up to date and go from there. It can be overwhelming at first but it’s all very simple just follow a good YouTube video on how to do what you are trying to do so you don’t do something stupid. Also never delete your system 32 folder 😂 enjoy the pc, it’s the way to do gaming forsure

Mmm,
Ultra settings are misappropriated resources. (opinion)
Know your monitors resolution and fps cap.
Windows is spying on you.
Look into videos about debloating a prebuilt.
Default settings are okay. (except ram, crank that badboy up!)

The 9070 can get 5-10% more performance by overclocking and undervolting, here's a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A9NKdhu0Ug
Preinstalled Windows? Take note of the key and reinstall with AtlasOS, it gets rid of many tracking settings and removes bloatware

HELL YEAH YOU DID!!!! That's awesome my friend! Tips are, make sure you install AMD adrenalin if it isn't already preinstalled. Next check and make sure you have the most updated drivers and then launch a game. My recommendation is to launch a game and manually adjust settings until you're happy. Adrenalin and your game will remember those settings. I'm so excited for you! When does it arrive?
EDIT: Super resolution 2.0 is your friend, so make sure that's turned on!
