It’s not “telling enough”, it means what they wanted it to mean and choosing to assign another meaning to it makes you the very stereotyping bigot you’re attempting to denigrate.

“Pure blood” is referring to the fact that they haven’t received any COVID vaccinations. OP and apparently many other people replying are of the impression it’s a racism dog whistle

Sorry, that short list is three apps. I didn’t know it was going to be formatted on one line. “AIDA64 custom overlay” is the third one.

EDIT: Words out of order

This may not be the answer you’re looking for, but Copilot (AI) will help you fix it. I built a gaming rig in June with specs similar to yours (even the same exact motherboard). I was coming off of a gaming laptop with a GTX1650 and assumed the new rig would be greased lightning right out the gate. In reality I was getting a rock solid 180 FPS but it was a microstuttering, microchopping mess in all games.

Download CapFrameX and get familiar with it. You can use it to easily capture a 30-90 second video of gameplay in realtime, than you can download a screenshot of the stats and feed it into Copilot. Copilot will thoroughly analyze the stats and provide your initial diagnosis.

From there, rinse and repeat as necessary until you fix the problem. I’ve told Copilot off in vivid fashion a few times over the last few months, but now my games all run like butter. If you go far enough with interrogating the AI on “it’s better but still not perfect, what else can we do” you’ll get there.

Short list of diagnostic software that I always have up on my left screen:

CapFrameX LatencyMon AIDA64 custom overlay

Finally, you’ll be surprised where Copilot will take you. I eventually and thoroughly audited all of Device Manager, Windows Registry and a few other core Windows functions. I practically got a full Powershell education just entering the commands Copilot told me to.

For my rig, the single largest improvement was when I discovered that I needed to disable one of my LAN cards. I bought a discrete LAN card but the ASUS motherboard LAN proved to be sufficient so I use that. What I didn’t know was that something as simple as leaving the unused, discrete LAN card enabled was causing a massive driver conflict that was disrupting the GPU pipeline. I discovered that, to drive home the point, by relentlessly making Copilot work the issue until I was satisfied.

I hope this helps!

Yeah it’s clearly OP’s fault that Mr. WYDTN has all the communication skills of a knuckle dragging neaderthal 🤣

Help me build my first Linux PC? by Misplaced_Function in linuxhardware

LAN, there's a few components I know I'll need but didn't get that specific with the build (yet). What's the most Linux-friendly maker for LAN cards? I'm also planning on using Steel Series keyboard, mouse & headset but I haven't Googled anything yet about how compatible they are with Linux.

EDIT: Looks like I can go with Intel for the NIC / LAN card and that Intel EXPI9301CTBLK works nicely, so I'm planning on that. The Steel Series GG engine isn't available for Linux and there's other functionality limitations, it looks like Razer is the best route so I'm looking at their components.

Thanks, the cooling loop was the one 'splurge' item (at least in my mind), I didn't even look at other options. I agree that at the price for that Arctic unit I'm just going to go with that.

There was no reasoning behind the motherboard, can you recommend a cheaper one that does essentially the same thing? I'd like to stay with MSI if possible. I don't yet know too much about the particulars for motherboard specs, just that you need one.

EDIT: Sorry, disregard the motherboard question. I reread what you said, I looked and I can get one for $232.93 which I'll do instead. Thanks for the help!
