    Low CPU + GPU usage, terrible framerate?

    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Ryzen 2700X, 2x8GB 3200Mhz, Gigabyte RTX3070. It affects some games and not others. EG - Apex Legends runs at 200fps ultra settings, CPU + GPU high usage. But then Battlefield 5 runs at 40-70fps at lowest settings 1080p, CPU around 50%...

    AMD 6800 & 6800 XT MBA LAUNCH AT 2PM TODAY - EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK!

    Bought a 3070 from OCUK. Best part of a month later, 3 places advanced in queue. Bought 6800 direct from AMD themselves, courier marked it as "signed for by 'my name' and delivered" three days ago....I absolutely did not sign for it, and no sign of it since. Tried emailing AMD and got no...

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES (3090 / 3080 / 3070) NOW ONLINE AT OcUK **

    (south park peter griffin bit) You think THAT's bad, one time I was in a single digit queue for an RTX3070 queue for a month with no update

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    Can we seriously get an update on the vendors that are NOT delivering and when they actually might? Sorry OCUK, but I'm sick of being in a single digit queue for a month for my 3070 with absolutely no update on when to expect stock. Next week? Next month? 2021? Do they not realise how many...

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    Thanks for that, appreciate it. Have an RX6800 on order elsewhere, preference is for that card now I think to be honest. Can't cancel this OCUK one because will probably lose cash. Not impressed with OCUK on this one. Taking an absolute mountain of cash up-front and leave people languishing...

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    I wonder what is the story with the KFA cards? I was 9 in queue for a KFA 3070 SG and two weeks later only moved 1 place. There's a 3080 and 3090 open thread, but none for the 3070, and nothing mentioned in the latest deliveries either. I don't mind waiting, I understand OCUK can't magic up...

    Well in a week I only moved 1 on the queue, probably a cancellation. Nvidia dropped a major turd with this launch. Will probably just cancel and wait for the 6800.

    So I was happy enough to see myself in No. 9 for the KFA 3070 SG, now I'm wondering if OCUK are even getting any delivered at all. Not one mention anywhere unless I missed something.

    Yeah, I ordered at 1.30 and surprisingly no 9 in queue.

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

    Weirdly, I ordered a KFA RTX3070 SG on a whim a good bit after 1PM as I forgot about the launch, and wasn't that pushed anyway. Got an email today saying I'm number 9 in the queue.

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES (3090 / 3080 / 3070) NOW ONLINE AT OcUK **

    I pre-ordered one today about 1.30pm (a KFA one) and I don't know why as I still intend getting a 6800XT. I feel even more stupid now considering it probably won't even arrive by the time I'm ordering the above.

    ** KOLINK CORE RGB 80+ POWER SUPPLIES NOW AVAILABLE **

    I have used a lot of them (Kolink Core 400W and 500W) without any issues, maybe about 20 or 30. For mid-range builds, like a Ryzen 2600/RX570 type machine. Though realistically I wouldn't trust a Kolink Core to safely or reliably deliver anything close to its rated wattage, but the same would...

    Waiting for the price now. Come on baby, don't let us down AMD.

    After an hour long battle I got to checkout only to find the card had jumped by £70. Left it.

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES (3090 / 3080 / 3070) NOW ONLINE AT OcUK **

    Yeah torn on what card to get. Was thinking either the EVGA, iChill or Zotac Trinity. Would be confident enough in the EVGA and iChill but not sure about the Trinity. Not bothered with the Inno3d Dual Fan, TUF, Ventus or Eagle, but would be curious about the Trinity, or KFA2 models.

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES (3090 / 3080 / 3070) NOW ONLINE AT OcUK **

    Well flip. That's a nightmare, especially when you've no idea what models are gonna fly and which are most likely to have more stock. Like, I'm not scrimping on £20 if that means losing out, but no idea how much stock of various models there'll be.

    So like how does this F5 till your fingers fall off lark entail - once you've added to cart, does it get held, or is it only until it's paid for that it counts?

    Can I get better MB/CPU for £300?

    £300 more or less covers a 3600, B450M and 16GB 3200Mhz. Titanic upgrade on a 6600K for games that use >4c/4t (which is lots these days).

    My i7 2600K build is still good 10 years on - What current CPU has best VFM over the next 10 years?

    I don't agree that the Ryzen 3600 is the best comparison. I would say getting a 3900X now for £400 or whatever is the best comparison, should still be doing very well in 10 years and have similar longevity to the 2600K, in part due to the core count. A 3700X probably comparable as well though...

    What to upgrade first...

    Don't waste crazy amounts of money for aesthetic purposes when you are hard budget limited, that makes no sense. I mean RGB ram isn't too bad but spending most of on your budget on a motherboard just because it's white is daft when your budget is limited to begin with. If you have £450, that's...
