I still feel that regret until now. And though I still have it the motherboard crapped out once and had to be replaced and hard drive failed about a year ago.

[@jordanbrad2298]

There was a weird thing with the Master Chief Collection with it doing super intense antimalware scans if you launched it. I would not be surprised if he had experienced this. Towards the end of the video it seems that he was talking about the Halo Infinite beta, which on the other hand is actually pretty intense on a system. That game looks really good even on low settings which I think doesn't make sense. If you are going for low settings, you don't want your game to look good, you want your game to run well and I wish more developers would think about it this way. Battlefield 2042 is the same way.

[@Mr-Jak]

Was confused when he was talking about MCC pegging the CPU to 100%, was questioning if he was gunning for like 300FPS for that- until he mentioned the beta. Definitely thinking Halo Infinite. lol

[@ILoveJLHsomuch1983]

I'm still rocking my 7700k on ASRock's flagship z270 board, the Supercarrier. I have the turbo boost set at 4.7, two RX 580's, and 64 GB Corsair 3200 RAM. It does everything i need it to, but it is starting to show it's age. I don't plan on doing a new build until a year or so, and this shortage crisis gets better.

[@rustyshackleford5166]

Before I watch, I wanna guess what this will be. Some over-the-top mobo Some kinda hi-end ryzen chip Either a 3080 or 3090 or the TI variants And don't forget to have a rainbow puke all over it. I was wrong. This is why I don't gamble. Lol

[@samiraperi467]

You were right about the puke tho.

[@rRefuseToSelfCensor]

Just got my 3080 ti ftw 3 from evga today for msrp and after associate code and evga bucks it was $1377. Best part is I had a ftw 3 3070 that was a full hash rate model so (im guessing it was a miner) paid 1300 dollars for it. So I think the 77 dollars was not a bad price to pay for a upgrade!

Is it Ok to put commander pro in the back of the CPU socket which is heated as CPU gets hot?

[@registeredblindgamer4350]

Jay please stop ignoring the Nvidia driver overhead. The CPU definitely needed upgraded either way but saying it is mainly due to new games using more cores is just a lie. Halo barely even hits my 5600x while using my Vega 64. It is because I end up with way more CPU headroom since the Nvidia GPU relies on software scheduling taking up CPU cores while AMD GPU's can do software and hardware scheduling at the same time.

StArTinG tO sHoW iT's AgE First of all, the GPU will always be pegged at 100% usage assuming the game is at least somewhat decently optimized, plus no CPU bottleneck. The only exception is if the game's framerate is capped, i.e. Vsync.

[@samiraperi467]

The GPU will be pegged at 100% if your settings are too high and has nothing to do with optimization. It means the game could use more GPU power if any was available (and you can't tell how badly you are limited, and it's quite easy to make crap that will pin the GPU core usage to 100% while doing nothing useful. You don't understand resource usage or optimization.

[@savigg174]

Inland SSDs are great it was a huge help in upgrading so many computers because of its inexpensive prices and the performance, good stuff.

[@isaiahcondreay]

This is the exact case I have.....except I decided to do a custom loop in it so I could fit a larger GPU in......I don't recommend water cooling it. It's been extremely challenging especially since it's my first ever build. But it's been a ton of fun and pretty educational!

Everything else I use infrequently enough that I can go to the Start menu.

[@Kairekt]

I've got this exact case. Nice to see some tips and tricks with it lol.

[@Nitetau]

I had the exact setup built in 2017. Upgraded the 1080 to 2080 in 2019. The 7700k was really holding the 2080 back in some titles. In warzone I was getting 70-80 fps and the infamous downtown would see it dropped to 50-60 fps. Just upgraded to Ryzen 5000 series and it is now stable to 120fps (fps limited) even at downtown area. Other titles don't see this drastic improvement, but the min fps is way better and no longer see sudden frame drops here and there.
