    The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

    Yeah they did. I'm just confirming that was the issue. Now after seeing the results, I'm debating wether It would be a worthwhile upgrade to go from a 5600 to a 5700X3D/5800X3D. My GPU is a RTX 3070

    The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

    Earlier I installed the Ryzen 7 5800X3D into my sons PC. He fired up Fortnite, and the fps jump is huge. It was his Ryzen 5 3600 that was holding back his 7900XT by a huge amount.

    He just tried that, and it was high 200's, but when he went into a town it dropped to high 100's low 200's.

    Do you mean run Fortnite in 1440p resolution rather than 1920x1080?

    The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your input. I've showed him the replies, and he's going to go with a 5800X3D, and see how it goes. If he has to he'll change to a B550 or X570 with better ram. His monitor is a QHD Alienware 280hz, and the GPU takes 3 pcie power cables. I have each pcie...

    The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

    Yeah he was looking at a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and now he's saying he's going to go for a 5900x instead. Saying it's a similar price right now. I've tried telling him it'll be overkill, and a 5800X3D or even the 5700X3D should be more than enough. His motherboard supports 3600mhz, so that's a...

    The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

    My son purchased a RX Sapphire Nitro+ 7900 XT and installed it yesterday. He's not getting anywhere near the kinda fps he thought he'd be getting. low 200's on Fortnite performance mode. Not much better than his 1080 he says. I get a lot more fps with my 3070 on a similar system, but mine...

    MSI Optix MPG27CQ2 Backlight bleed - Exchange?

    Yeah I think I'm going to return it. I spoke to the store earlier and they said to bring it in once they open up on the 15th, and replace it as faulty. My son has a Mag272QR that cost £280 and has zero backlight bleed. He think it's hilarious cause he reckons I payed extra for my monitor...

    Purchasing another dual channel kit (Quad Channel?)

    Yeah I just wanted to fill the slots for aesthetic reasons to be honest. I have 2X 8GB Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz, and my CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600, installed in a MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC. I ended up just going with the dummy kit, and I'm more than happy with them. I'm also more than happy...

    MSI Optix MPG27CQ2 Backlight bleed - Exchange?

    I bought this monitor for £449 and collected it on the 30th May. It's great and everything, but I find the back light bleed is really getting on my nerves, especially when watching movies with black bars. It's difficult to get a good picture of it, but I blocked out the light coming from my...

    Purchasing another dual channel kit (Quad Channel?)

    Thankyou for your reply. I have an MSI B450 Gaming pro carbon ac. I just looked at the specs on the website, and it does indeed say Dual. I may as well just save 50quid, and go with the dummy modules if it's still going to run in dual channel.

    Purchasing another dual channel kit (Quad Channel?)

    I have 2x 8GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz RGB installed in my PC. I'm considering buying the dummy kit which costs just over £30 If I decided instead to buy another Corsair Vengeance dual channel kit to match the pair I already have and installed that into my PC, would that be ok? and...

    Compatability for MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC

    Hi thankyou for the reply. Which brand out of those would you go for? Or even any other brand? G.Skill is going to be between £100 to about £128 for the Royal. I can get Crucial for under £90 Is G.Skill worth the extra?

    Compatability for MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC

    Hi I've just purchased a Ryzen 5 3600 & the above mentioned Motherboard. I'm now trying to purchase a DDR4 16GB 3200Mhz Dual Channel Kit, but I'm not sure on compatability. My son has Corsair Vengeance RGB for his, but I'm wanting something different like G.Skill or maybe even Crucial...

    I've bought Aigo C5 RGB fans and I'm very impressed with the quality of them, and the price.

    i7 4790k hitting 90+ degrees under load

    I have the fans as in intake. they're inside the case, pulling air through the radiator. The stock fans are loud as hell as well. I've been thinking of switching them out for a couple of HD140's. would this be a good option?

    Asus Maximus Ranger VII Z97 wont post

    I've had another look at the board, and I've discovered the problem was one of the pins is snapped in half. In this case do you just chuck the board in the recycling bin, or is there anyone on this forum that specialises in socket repair?

    Ok so I upgraded to a Corsair H115i AIO, and also receieved a free Maximus Ranger VII. The board had a few bent pins that I attempted to straighten, but the board won't post at all. the only thing that happens is the start button flashes on and off. I gave up attempting to get it to post...
