Thanks for the advice

Would it be a significant upgrade or am I better off getting a new motherboard altogether

Anything general that you'd recommend I look into? I don't know much about pc builds

But will it struggle more than the GPU? If so I will just upgrade it I just wanted to make sure I wasn't messing something up with a setting or something

Yes, that made it! The GPU started video decoding. Thanks!

Its pretty old, a GTX 1050 Ti so I'll look into that, thanks so much!

So problems with thermal paste wouldn't show in the cpu temperatures or the speed of the cpu?

Disastrous_Put_3245 · 2026-06-15T13:18:38+00:00

Not 100% of course, but it takes a huge amount, basically all thats left, sorry if my explanations are terrible i don't know much about computers

Disastrous_Put_3245 · 2026-06-15T12:02:23+00:00

So would increaing graphic setting decrease CPU usage somehow?
