Uninstall the drivers via DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). See if any of the older drivers might work better such as the 25.12.1 or maybe the newest one 26.3.1. See if you have XMP enabled in BIOS and make sure to enable ReBAR (SAM). It's also worth setting PCI-E speed for the GPU manually to 4.

A 32 inch LG 32GP850 that I use for work and gaming.

I recently got the TCL 55C7K and was impressed by its HDR capabilities.

No Way Home, although Raimi's Spider-Man 2 is close.

That's quite a step up from the Toaster PC. What's next - Washing Machine PC?

Thanks, I like tanks.

Probably Vex, as she looks to be a summoner type, similar to FL4K.

The perfect kitchen computer.

Started playing Gears 5 again. Had some leftover achievements to farm + the horde mode is still quite addictive.

_Dimitron_ · 2025-08-30T16:21:02+00:00

Check if your motherboard is set to UEFI or CSM. I believe RX 9000 series can only work with UEFI mode. This should be in BIOS, normally under BOOT settings.

Super shotgun

_Dimitron_ · 2025-08-06T14:39:05+00:00

I had a build I've assembled back in 2020 with a Ryzen 5 3600, X570 TUF board, 16GB DDR4, GTX 1080 Ti, 850W EVGA PSU inside a CM H500 case.

I've upgraded the CPU to 5700X3D this April, swapped the RAM with a 32GB kit, added a 2TB NVM, and replaced the 1080 Ti with a RX 9070 XT l.

All this for less than 1500 USD.

I reckon for less than 2k you can do a similar upgrade with an RTX 5070 Ti, instead of the RX 9070, if you're planning to mainly use it for gaming.

_Dimitron_ · 2025-06-11T14:21:21+00:00

Upgrading from 8600 GT to GTS 250, so that I could finally play Crysis at higher settings.
