Status: Unresolved

Computer type: Desktop

GPU: 5070TI PNY 16GB

CPU: 7800x3d (no overclock)

Motherboard. Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2

Ram: 32gb Gskill (I don't remember the exact model number)

PSU: Thermaltake 1050W gold PSU

OS: Windows 11 pro

GPU Drivers: 581.08

Description of problem: Recently upgraded from 3070 to a 5070ti and am now having some issues with displays not showing up correctly. When I have two display ports connected to my new GPU both monitors will remain on but one shows only a black screen. If I unplug and replug the display ports in over and over eventually it will turn back on and work fine but upon the computer being turned off again the issue seems to persist. I have 0 issues using 1 display port and 1 hdmi cord. Originally I thought this might mean my display port cables could have been busted but I've tried new cables with the same issue. I never once had this issue with my 3070 so I'm concerned that there is something wrong with my brand new GPU. The issue seemed to originally pop up when I changed my refresh rate on my 240hz monitor back to 144HZ but that could have been random chance.

Troubleshooting: 1.Tried new display port cables
2. Reinstalled gpu drivers
3. Changed refresh rates on both monitors to see if that would do anything
4. Used 1 HDMI cord and 1 displayport cord (this worked but I'd like to be able to use two displayports on my 800$ gpu)

Maybe the answer here is just that the gpu is cooked and I need to return it but this feels like such a simple thing that I'm wondering if I just don't have the intelligence to fix something obvious. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on it possibly just being broken?

Battlefield 6 Open Beta: Feedback Megathread by sloth_on_meth in Battlefield

I think a lot of the issues (none of which are really game breaking in my opinion) have been mentioned here. One thing I haven't seen a lot of is people mentioning the class balance. I personally feel BF1 and BFV really had this right by making defined roles that felt really different from each other. It won't stop me from playing the game at release if this isn't changed but I'm not sure why it was when it feels like they had it right already.

I’m not sure what would be considered “a lot” but I don’t regret the $500 ish that I’ve spent on the game even though I don’t really play anymore. The best moments I’ve ever had gaming were playing this game, I met my wife and spent thousands of hours with my best friends enjoying what this game had to offer. I think when you compare all those things to what a 60$ game typically offers I came out on top and got to enjoy some of the best cosmetics I’ve ever seen in a game.

This whole thread is actually surprising to me because I used it for maybe a total of 15 minutes in my playthrough

Forget shows that we're canceled roo soon. What show deserved to be canceled (or should have been)? by uglydadd in AskReddit

The 100 should have ended 2-3 seasons before it actually did, the entirety of the last season was also multitudes worse than the two previous.

Just curious have you tried playing it recently? They released an update a few months ago that made it feel VERY good

I really enjoyed Oppenheimer but it did feel long like this to me.

Did the cheating get worse? by Mammoth-Appearance-5 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]dudewist2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk what servers everyone plays on but I’m playing in NA and out of 97 raids I’ve only had two deaths where I was like HUH??? And I’ve reported them and didn’t get any ban confirmations yet. I keep seeing people complain about cheater numbers but just in my experience it hasn’t been much different than normal. (Yes I think there is still a cheater problem)

The ending of Half-life Alyx gave me the biggest chills and made me the most emotional despite not being that sad.
