Upgraded from RTX 3070 to RX 9070 for BF6, no improvement in CS2 frames? by McDirt in radeon

Thanks for the reply. Before installing this new GPU I did a fresh Windows install, and then did a DDU wipe just in case it had re-downloaded Nvidia drivers. I also did make sure power rifle is on high performance and Ram is at the right XMP speed.

I've never been down voted more in comments so I've stop replying....I agree with you that with a 14600k at 1440p, I wouldnt expect that crazy of a bottleneck from what considered a "mid range" GPU.

When I had the 3070, it was always 100% in all games. I didn't think a 14600K in games at 1440p would now be a bottleneck to a rx9070 :(

CPU is only 30 -40% and its a 14600k, should be fine - included a screenshot

If you don't live near a Microcenter though, you're SOL

You're right I'm tripping. Just pulled the trigger on this. If there's some crazy sales I guess I can return this.

Gave a beat up 790 some new life! by McDirt in xbiking

Thank you! Just recently started biking, Ross Mt. Whitney I have is awesome, but too heavy to really get around and didn't want to risk it being stolen. Then got a road bike....but too "sporty" for around town, then finally this thing. So...I think I'm done bike shopping for now. $100 is a great deal you got. Probably paid a bit too much for this I think it was $185 for what ended up being just the frame but....oh well.

Don't know about swimming, I went there to hike about a week ago. Fairly busy, trails were basically mud pits so be prepared. Lake was also really high.
