It is hard to know exactly who to blame for this (like where in the pipeline the problem is), like if you look @ Intel's slides when they released new CPUs they do have a table for base and turbo power and that is how they're listed on Intel Ark, but yet you go to a retailer and see TDP: 65 (or...

I believe MCE only allows the cores to boost to the max single core turbo multiplier, I don't think it has any impact on the length of the boost itself. I'm pretty sure TAU has been infinite for K CPUs since 12th gen *link, but even if it isn't, I'd expect someone like Asus to be setting it as...

Weird, the BIOS versions and dates appear to be different between these pages and in the OP's CPU-Z screenshot that BIOS version and date doesn't seem to exist either. I don't think I'd update it unless it was 100% necessary, though in theory the software should reject an update for an...

What kind of performance does it need to have? You might like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Cjnep8j-o

I'd imagine that nvidia's studio/professional drivers are more developed too and I don't know if there are differences in the colour defaults and options that they apply compared to the gaming drivers.

I suspect what's happening is what Orcvader has suggested, that you're getting a conflict with the IGP. The driver I linked you was meant for the 7900 XT and would likely be too old to support the IGP in your CPU.

My working assumption is that for 3D work nvidia is best, but for 2D you can go either, but that's just something I got from watching this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@theTechNotice So, I'd suggest the OP watch some reviews that cover their software before they buy a XTX :)

:cry::cry: Afaik, that's not what is happening here. Intel has a spec of two things for their power ratings: PL1 and PL2. PL1 is the baseline speed and that aligns with the TDP, then PL2 aligns with the max turbo speed under heavy workloads. Asus (and most other manufacturers on their high-end...

Here's an AMD/AMD build: My basket at OcUK: 1 x AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Sixteen Core 5.70GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DR-AM) = £578.99 1 x Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6JX-AS) = £229.99 1 x Crucial Pro 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5...

I don't have this game, so in this case I have no idea, but keep in mind that these things often need to be updated to make meaningful recommendations and may not recognise your hardware properly when everything you own was released several years after the game.

To be fair, a decent QLC drive can perform pretty well and they can even have rated endurance similar to TLC, so they're not an issue for e.g. a games storage drive, but with such low endurance it suggests they have very low confidence in the longevity of the drive (& the flash used), so I'm not...

Newmaxx's spreadsheet says it is likely to be QLC in 1TB/2TB capacity (WD's datasheet concurs) and the rated endurance is an unbelievably awful 100 TBW in the 2TB capacity. I'd get the cheaper (£113) SN580 which is guaranteed to be TLC and has 9x (!!!!!) the rated endurance in the 2TB capacity.

If you download hwinfo64 portable, it should tell you what you need to know, alternatively grab the motherboard model from CPU-Z. It is an old system at this point, so you might not have anything in the M.2 slot. Most games don't care which type of SSD you have, but it is getting hard to find...

The main problem with modern CPUs is that while they might have a TDP of e.g. 65 watt, when they are fully loaded they can use massively more power and will overwhelm most passive coolers, while cooking the VRM if you don't have any airflow. You'd likely need to stay with CPUs on the lower-end...

AMD/AMD 4K/60 My basket at OcUK: 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Six Core 5.10GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DW-AM) = £188.99 1 x Asus TUF Gaming A620-Pro WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-ASU-01162) = £149.99 1 x TeamGroup Vulcan EXPO 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C38...

I'd try downloading a really old one, like maybe a month or two after your card was released, e.g. https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-23-2-1.html (About half way down the page)

Have you tried different versions? It might just be a bugged driver package.

I have an original Seasonic S12 (600 watt), which is around 18 years old and still in service in a light gaming PC with a i3-12100. With the 12100, it doesn't even turn on without a graphics card or a sound card (older i3-6100 doesn't have this problem), but other than that it works fine.

I usually look at the SN570 or SN580 for a storage drive, since they're guaranteed TLC (in the datasheet) and usually affordable. You might want to check reviews about the copy speed and SLC cache size, depending on your usage.

Recommend is a generous word, since I think you shared a list of 3, one of which was from a manufacturer with a history of exploding. Cool! Nice! :eek:
