Windows 10/11 keys are activated either by assigning them to the hardware being installed or by linking them to your Microsoft account (if you are using one in your current installation). Personally, I prefer purchasing a new Windows key as they are so inexpensive and are attached to the...
With $300, you can build a Ryzen 5600 system that outperforms (and requires significantly less power than) any of the builds you're considering. And we're talking about a brand new system with a manufacturer's warranty, which used parts will not provide.
1. Yes, 5600 is sufficient for an RTX 2060
2. First, ensure that your RAM kit is compatible with Zen3. You can look for compatible ram on the motherboard's page at gigabyte.com. It will perform worse because the ideal scenario is "Infinity Fabric: Memory Controller: Ram speed" to be set to...
However, for that kind of performance difference in GPUs, there is a price difference of several hundred dollars (4070Ti vs 4080, 15% performance difference, $400 price difference). And that will undoubtedly not be reflected in 7950X3D (vs 13900k).
Building a X570 tested both w10 and w11 (upgrade and clean installation). I am now on w11 and no problems so far. Yes the GUI is a bit different but the basic tools (Device Manager, Control Panel, etc.) are still there.
However, reviews displaying 'all over the place' results (even beating the 4090 in some cases) contradict the fact of a "broken or bugged" architecture. Don't get me wrong, I am not defending AMD here. It's just that I'd rather see these architectural flaws proven rather than being speculated about.
Still talking about this mysterious 'issue' which no one knows what it is? :)
My guess is that the drivers are still in early beta, and that we will see significant improvements over time.
The fact your CPU spikes at 100% is the thing you should be looking at. Something running in the background eating CPU cycles maybe?
I would start with a fresh windows installation if you have that option.
What games are you playing? Type of connection displayport/ HDMI?
With such a monitor you should be aiming at high fps/ refresh rates with G-Sync enabled (V-Sync never enabled, check in both NV panel/ games).
I usually combine German reviewers (hardwarelux.de, computerbase.de, Der8auer) with the rest of the reviewers, who are mostly HardwareUnboxed and Gamers Nexus (although I am having some difficulty to understand what he says lol). Another great YouTube channel I use for reviews and guides is...
Sounds like a used (ex-mining?) card. As @In2Photos said I would start with the BIOS of the card. You can find stock BIOS (if you decide to flash it) in techpowerup.
Since RDNA2's introduction, its availability has been limited by AMD's lack of volume despite their current reasonable pricing.
I'd be more than happy to become a "console peasant" if you could provide me with a console that has full keyboard and mouse support. :cool:
