    WD Black SN770 or Crucial P5 Plus 1TB Which is better?

    I would go for the Crucial P5 Plus, even for a few $ more.

    MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner Statistics or GeForce Experience (easier).

    RTX 4060 - strange idle power readings

    I will check! But mine does go down to 210 MHz on idle. Thank you. Don't think that's an issue...

    Some could be VRAM limitations - card has only 8 GB. You could try DDU to reinstall graphics driver. Also, make sure the games have the latest patches / updates applied.

    Flickering shadows in games.

    I didn't notice anything unclear. Seems to be OK. Besides, the upload is only 720p, but seems alright. I guess it depends on the resolution. If someone ran the demo at 4K or 1440p, it would look better. It's a locked version of the demo, from what I read - can't adjust settings. It could default...

    It is using DLSS, so that may be the issue. Press "F1" during demo and you'll see some details.

    RTX 4060 - strange idle power readings

    Best way to check is to use specialized hardware, like nVidia PCAT. But I wouldn't worry about it. @W1zzard has access to such devices and has posted the results. No worries.

    Well, it depends on the game. With DirectX 12, a lot of the heavy lifting is directed to the GPU. The 3700X is still a capable CPU. Are you noticing low GPU usage in the game (<90%)? You can also check the VRAM usage. The higher the resolution, the CPU becomes less of a bottleneck.

    I'd say the GPU: 10 GB is simply not enough for triple monitor setups with 144 Hz. Final resolution is 7680 x 1440, right? Could check out a RTX 4080 Also, a RX 7900 XT

    Try running some nVidia demos and see what happens. I'm guessing you have the latest drivers: v536.99.

    Could be the use of image-scaling technologies: FSR, DLSS, XeSS.

    I'm inclined to think it's software-related (games, drivers, OS). Happens in WoW sometimes, too, on different cards. Using AF 16x seems to decrease the effects.
