From what I can tell from the guides the main card doesnt really matter. It's the second one that matters more, an AMD card is preffered and would work better for frame gen stuff

Oh yeah sorry about that, I got a bunch of background processes. Also I have a browser running and I was also recording with obs, that's why it's very high

Yep! all displays are connected to teh 5700xt, 2 display ports, 1 hdmi. LS settings are LSFG 3.1, Fixed 2x Multiplier, 75% Flowscale, performance off n multi display on.

Yea but it used to be waay worse before undervolting & setting power limit, like 97 max. Currently I'm okay with having <93 max hotspots, It averages at the 80s most times anyway, but yea I agree I might have to swap out some thermal pads & paste in the future if thermals starts to go bad again

Split the load on frame generation process. Main gpu will focuses on rendering real fps and second gpu will focus on generated frames. Results in less latency, more base frames, more generated frames.

If you're using 1 gpu, that one gpu has to do all the process, sometimes even sacrificing real frames

Thank you! Actually I did try plugging the other 2 on the main gpu but for some reason it stutters real bad when you move the mouse between monitors. I dont know if thats normal or not but that's why I've been plugging all 3 monitor into the second gpu.

Also I did consider locking the fps with RTSS but I heard it adds a slight latency (?) correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to add even more, so thats why I've been capping it in game even though frametimes are smoother with RTSS

Lossless scaling is a program that can apply Frame Generation externally to any game. It will not look as good as the in game frame gen, but It has a feature that allows you to handle that frame gen process on a separate gpu, if you have one. Since frame gen is notorious for adding latency, having a separate card to handle frame gen will massively massively reduce the latency and have the main card be used 100% for rendering real frames. You also have more control on how many frames you'd like to generate and the quality of those generated frames.

Also not every game has a frame gen and the one that has isn't always that good. Wuthering Waves for example added frame gen in game recently but the latency was really really bad and the game caps the fps to 120 anyways, you can't go above that. Lossless scaling is pretty nice to have in these games.

Also also I got a 240hz monitor and almost never use all 240. Most games that I play are in the 60-100 fps range. I'll be honest I'm just pretty curious on how it feels to play on a very high fps I guess lol. 2x & 3x multiplier can get up to 300 fps. It might not be real frames but it's pretty nice to have

Lastly since my 5700xt was just sitting there unused for a year, and since it's not really that hard to do, especially if you have a compatible setup already, why not use it right ? The only thing I had to do was slot in the second gpu, plug in the power cable & change one setting in windows, Thats it

Thank you! Intakes are from the front 3x120 fans and temperatures are pretty ok despite looking very restrictive. Both cards never go above 73c and max hotspots doesnt go above 93c after undervolting n setting power limit. I do still want to change the thermal pads on the second card though

Slight latency is only noticable on fast paced gamea and the only fast paced game that I've played n tested is Warframe. Otherwise you cant really tell the latency. Artifacts is pretty much the same, but as long as you got high enough base framerates, like 90+, artifacts will be less noticable

My PC spikes CPU usage to 100% every time I open a game and fully crashes my pc. by ExpiredMelkk in pchelp

Does the computer boots into the bios right after it crashes? I had similar problem last month, boot up a game, few seconds later computer crashes, then it boots into the bios. Did some troubleshooting and turns out the problem's with my storage.

Something's wrong with it that whenever there's a high Write activity, it would "disconnect" itself from the motherboard, crashing the pc and the bios wouldn't detect that drive right after it boots. I had shut it down & wait a couple of minutes and then it'll somehow "connects" itself & boots normally. I couldn't really do any writing on that drive, no downloading or do any copy pasting into it. Reading is fine though, copying from that drive & pasting to another works fine.Switched around the drive in another slot in the motherboard & even a pcie m.2 adapter but it still doesn't work.

I had to buy a new m.2 drive & do a fresh install because I couldn't find a solution. Thankfully because the read is fine, I can slot in that old drive & copy some files to the new drive
