    Gamers Reject RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB — Outsold 16:1 by 16 GB Model

    The 9060 XT 16GB has sold over 950 times compared to the 1600 the 5060 Ti 16GB sold. You pretend like nobody bought the AMD cards. It is literally the exact same card just with less VRAM performing worse in the same test. What else could be causing this performance drop other than lacking VRAM...

    Gamers Reject RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB — Outsold 16:1 by 16 GB Model

    It's not really "future-proofing" when there are already games out that need more than 8 GB:

    Poor performance on 3DMark, Night Raid. RTX 4060 + R7 5700X

    Dial down your overclock and try again. Especially memory overclock can cause errors that are caught by EC and thus dont cause problems directly, but will still slow down your card and impact performance.

    I would give anything for Valve's Steam to have an option to disable the Big Picture Mode button. How many times have I accidently clicked it, fml

    You can also just click the icon in the taskbar to minimize any single window (at least in win 10)

    Should I trade my Sapphire pulse rx 6600 and 200 aud for a gigabyte 3060ti?

    The 3060 Ti barely gets 100 FPS in Borderlands 3. So there is no way it will get over 100 in the new one:

    Very Slow speed of SSD nvme

    Good read performance with bad write performance as seen in your P44 immediately makes overheating a prime suspect imo. Writing creates much more heat. I recommend using HWinfo64 in sensors only mode to check. You can right click on "Write Rate", use "Show graph" and then run the benchmark to...

    Final Nintendo Switch 2 Specifications Surface: CPU, GPU, Memory, and System Reservation

    Those numbers make it about a quarter of the graphical compute power of an ROG Ally and worse than a 3050 mobile. Then again, noone in their right mind expected Nintendo to be competitive in hardware.

    weird CS2 frametime stutter

    How are your CPU temps? A screenshot of GPU-Z and zen timings might also help.

    weird CS2 frametime stutter

    1. You mention only CS2. Does this problem not occur in other games or have you only tested cs? If you have nothing else to test you can download the free demo of 3dMark and run TimeSpy to test your system in another workload. 2. Also background programs might cause issues like that. Check what...

    4080 Super - Nvidia framerate limiter = performance problems?

    What NVidia driver version are you on? 57x.xx have been having loads of issues. Wouldn't surprise me if this was another one. The latest that is considered stable is 566.36. I'd try downgrading to that if you haven't yet.

    Half Life 3 soon ?

    Considering that Episode 3 has been scrapped and stuff they made for it was shown in the HL2 20th Anniversary video (highly recommend watching it if you haven't yet), I think it's unlikely we will see more Half Life. Especially since we know they are working on Deadlock. The stuff they made for...

    random system shutdown with fans running at full speed

    High hotspot temps after repasting might be pumpout. Some pastes are worse with pumpout than others, usually thinner pastes are worse for GPUs.
