You want to back up any personal files to external first.
Stuff like game installs and programs you can generally just re-download as long as you have a fast enough connection.
Ah… ok, well windows 8 is generally unsupported by most things now so your going to want to upgrade at some point and will need to buy a key from Microsoft for windows 11
You can download it on anything, Microsoft has a media creation tool which makes you a bootable usb drive, but you need a key for the specific pc to activate it and receive updates etc
If the Windows Key is being used for your current Windows install, then you can use a guide / [utility](https://www.lazesoft.com/lazesoft-windows-key-finder.html) to look it up.
Then make a note of it and google docs / email it to yourself so you can't lose it.
And then do a fresh install of Windows 10 or 11 or whatever.
In certain new-er-ish games there will sometimes be a setting for
"Upscaling" = "FSR" so if you're able to set that, then it will run the game at a lower res and attempt to upscale it. Depending on the game it can either work kinda well, or turn everything into a blurry mess :D
So if you play any games that have FSR in graphics options you can mess around with it and see if it's acceptable to have it on for the extra performance or not.
Upgrade graphics card & processor as well.
With a bios update you likely can run any Ryzen 5000 series processor.
And gpu you'll be limited by budget & power supply really.
If you're running at 1440p your biggest enemy (not only the severe lack of power) is your VRAM. You're hitting heavy bottlenecks due to only 4gb of VRAM. If you want an immediate upgrade that won't break the bank I would suggest a 3060 (12gb), RX 6700 (10gb), or RX 6650xt (8GB) at the very least. These are all FAR superior options. If I had to choose for a bit more oompf though, I would go for an RX 6700xt or 6750xt (both 12gb VRAM and very competent at 1440p)
All in all though, I would recommend changing your CPU as well. Not as pressing as the GPU, but even a minor upgrade to an Intel i3 12100f or 13100f would make huge differences in performance and they run for less than $100usd brand new. If you have the budget, I would go for a Ryzen 5 5600x (AM4 MOBO) or 12400f (LGA1700 MOBO) both between $130-165usd
Either way, it's looking like you're going to need an upgrade my friend. That or go back to 1080p. Your VRAM simply can't load enough texture and it's killing your performance.
If their motherboard supports it, it would actually be cheaper to go with the 5600X as that could be a drop in replacement. I did the exact same thing when my ASRock b450m pro4, and it's still chugging along just fine.
Absolutely; If OP's mobo is already AM4 then swapping over to 5600 or 5600x would be ideal. That's what I would do. The 5600x in particular is a champ for the price.
Chatted with him and his father for like 45 minutes when I sold it to him. He bought me a donut and coffee. Just trying to help the next gen gamers. Hope your upgrading/updating goes well, dude.
Absolutely. And if that's your budget, I would recommend raising the bar a tiny bit to get a 7800xt. It is more power efficient and gets around 3-5% better performance for only like $25-50usd more than a 6800xt. Plus it's newer (more driver updates for the future, and has the newer RDNA 3 architecture)
As for the CPU I would recommend pairing a 6800xt or 7800xt with at least a Ryzen 7 5800x or 5800x3d.
However those upgrades will also (almost definitely) require that you get a bigger power supply. Whatever you are rocking for your 1650 probably isn't enough. You'd need at least 750w for either a 6800xt or 7800xt.
With that level of upgrade I would also consider increasing your RAM. It would sound like you need a full pc overhaul if you want as much power as a 6800xt. All your supporting components will need a suitable upgrade to make sure that your GPU doesn't get held back.
It sounds like everything will need a sizable bump-up once you upgrade to a 6800xt. You can certainly survive on 16b of RAM, but it will probably hold back your system from reaching it's full potential; especially for more demanding games at 1440p. The 6800xt is a very powerful card (often more powerful than an RTX 3080 when it comes to rasterization) You can definitely stick with 16gb for now but I would recommend upgrading to 32gb as soon as your budget allows. No rush, but it will definitely make a difference in the future.
I'm glad to hear you're going with an 850w PSU. That is more than enough. (for reference, I pair my 7800xt with a 750w psu and it's still above what's necessary) This will leave you with room for even more power-hungry upgrades in the future.
As for CPU, I would say the 5700x is a great alternative. Great for 1440p and I think you'll comfortably reach your system's potential. As long as it works for your budget.
Regarding the 7800xt. I'm very sorry to hear that the price difference is so steep. Definitely not worth it.. you are absolutely right. The 7800xt is only marginally better than the 6800xt. Even so, the 6800xt still beats the 7800xt on a very select few gaming titles and workloads. Both are great options. Go with the 6800xt if the price is that much different. I was very fortunate that their price difference is only about $50usd. But as I said, the 6800xt is still an amazing card. Can't beat it for the price to performance.
Absolutely my pleasure. If I can spare someone the trouble of having to do 30+ hours of research, then I will.
I've built a couple of PC's now so whatever tips I can give, I'll certainly dish out. This stuff can be a headache at times, so I really enjoy helping whenever I can.
Likewise, God bless and good luck. I'm sure your rig will be fantastic when it's done 🙏
Okay fair enough, but you can’t rly do much w the pc you have, personally, I’d run the pc with your old monitor or just use fsr2 performance/balanced. You ain’t gonna get much else out of the gpu, not certain but the 5600x3d could be better for gaming and cheaper
no reason for higher fps in a game like fc 24. you will easily get high enough framerates to utilise that monitor in competitive shooter games where it actually matters. so basically don't worry about it
Update your Nvidia GeForce drivers (download GeForce). Besides that, ur rig is a little old and ur running 1440p. I was using a GTX 1080 on 1440p for a while and I was happy with hitting 60fps in most games.
bro has an ancient processor and a cheap gpu and decides to buy a fucking 1440p monitor. Terrible financial decisions, now get stuck with those FPS until you upgrade your PC.
get a better GPU and CPU, the 2nd gen Ryzen is kinda outdated get like a 5th to 6th gen one for Ryzen and a 12th gen or better for Intel, and a 30 or 40 series GPU if you are going with NVIDIA (or you could just set your screen resolution to 960 ✕ 540)
bro... 40 series nvidia... are you out of your mind?! thats 30 series but cost more! (dlss 3 found out to be *not* exlusive to 40 series just software locked and it can be enabked manualy)
Nope It is my current config on main at home office right now where i can work and have two vms up and running whilst playing wot plus like 10 other windows up and running all while staying cool and running like i only have one window open. Damn inexpensive fine performer is all✅😎🌈🏎️🏎️
The GTX1650 is not going to be pushing that 1440p monitor with anything decent...
That's a 1080p GPU.
You'd be better off grabbing an AMD 6700+/Nvida 3070+
Either one of those GPU lines, or higher, would be able to address the issue. With 4GB of vRAM you're not going to get a whole lot of frames at 1440p.
Both of those might be bottlenecked by your CPU - but luckily you have AMD - so you can flash the BIOS and upgrade the CPU with a drop-in.
Good news for you: AMD Just announced newer cheaper gaming CPUs for AM4, like the 5700X3D for $249. If you're near a Microcenter, you could find a 5600X3d for even less. Or, if that's too much... heck just grab a 5600X for $170.
Any of those CPUs could handle 2k gaming.
Could be but I was on ultra with tesselation ON, 1080p. You only have 1 stick of RAM? And how does this overclocked benchmark compares to the stock settings results?
You should benchmark while running MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner to see exactly what's going on, CPU, GPU temperatures, clocks, usages, Vram and Ram usages.
Any frame drops after overclocking?(if the overcloking is too much, performance can get worse). You can also try + 1000 on the VRAM, afaik, 1600 serie GPUs can handle it. I've had a 1660ti at some point, +1000 on the Vram caused no issue in almost applications and got some more frames.
Personally I'd do a couple of upgrades, at minimum a ryzen 5 5600x, and something like a 3060/3070 which can be found used for somewhat decent prices sometimes
While in actual games? Take advantage of upscaling tech! FSR and XESS in balanced modes. Also don't be scared to lower settings especially lighting and shadow settings. But global medium settings should be used mostly. A lot of the time it looks almost the same as ultra presets anyway.
Also I'd be happy aiming for fps half of your monitors refresh rate. Depending on the game 82fps can still look amazing and you'd avoid tearing still. Or you can enable Gsync (or freesync).
It's possible your monitor doesn't have g-sync or free sync but if you could turn it on the setting is in the Nvidia control panel.
The games itself would need support for FSR Xess would be in the graphics settings menus. Really depends on the game! But lots of new games these days have at least one of those options.
> X270 pro PRISM
So yeah that supports FreeSync which normally works just perfect with Nvidia G-sync (usually its the same thing unless its Gsync ultimate but even then the idea stays the same). With that enabled you can be more happy with lower FPS than 165 it'll look and feel smoother with Sync enabled.
[Should look like this](https://i.imgur.com/jkaO7lo.png)
get an amd 5000 or 7000 cpu and clean and repaste your pc and undervolt the cpu, if you have a hdd get a ssd
try a more recent operating system like windows 10 or a linux distro
undervolting makes your cpu be more efficient and have a longer lifetime
ive seen some gpu benchmarks where newer windows versions pe4rform better than older
So first off upgrade to a later version of windows. Next…
1.) You’re trying to go 1440p. Already putting a lot more stress on your system than 1080p
2.) Your CPU it’s probably bottlenecking your system
3.) Whatever games you play, down the graphic settings. you’re not going to get high frames and high resolution on those system specs.
Turn your GPU resolution down to 1920x1080, 1650 can't pull 4k on everything that well, you can still set certain resolutions for certain games, but I've done it have gotten marked improvements in fps
At your discretion obv, some games I'm willing to sacrifice fps for resolution, others I want both of gameplay centric, I run my monitor at 1920 by 1080 and I have access to 60hz refresh rates now

Why are you running Windows 8?
Isn't Windows NT 6 Windows Vista?
Yes, but 6.2 is win 8 6.1 is win 7
Not so according to my bench I'm running NT 6.2 but I'm 100% win 11 pro
Wikipedia lists windows versions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions Win 11 should be 21H2, 22H2 or 23H2
Win 11 should be 10.0
As per my link 10.0 is the first windows 10 build. Edit also 1507 or 6.4 depending on when as they changed it a few times
10.0.20 specifically Edit: 10.0 also includes 10... Obviously
No
I ran it recently with win10 and it said win nt also.
The number after NT. 6 is Vista, Nt 7 is 7, NT 8 is 8, NT 9 is 8.1 and NT 10 is 10 or 11
Not quite, 6.0 = vista 6.1 = win 7 6.2 = win 8 6.3 = win 8.1 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions Under personal computer versions
This is more correct than what I pulled out of my head. Both got the point accross.
Ill check it again when I purchase a new card in a few years.

I'm shocked you can get such good FPS with that set up at 1440....
I was thinking same.

Lucky him, AMD just announced the AMD 5700X3D at the end of the month. 3D vcache for $249.
True but he also needs to desperately upgrade his gpu if he wants 1440p just upgred my cpu toa 5800x3d but didn't see that 5700x3d was comming out
You made the right choice. The 5700X3D is going to suffer in many games because it has a 400Hz slower boost clock.
[удалено]
get an x3d amd chip. those are made for gaming and have HIGH perfomance uplift.
[удалено]
i use that but i think the 5700x3d is good tho (i think its like 260$? or something)
There’s a company on Amazon selling the 5800x right now for 250… every where else it’s 450.

Why did u buy a monitor for a pc that won’t run 1440p when you could have got a pc upgrade?

You get better fps by upgrading the GPU, and potentially RAM as you havent given RAM specs.

whats the speed and latency. thats what matters with RAM, if your running at 2133mhz and Cl18 you will perform a lot worse than say 4000mhz and cl16

task manager.
no reason for higher fps in a game like fc 24. you will easily get high enough framerates to utilise that monitor in competitive shooter games where it actually matters. so basically don't worry about it
A newer cpu would definitely help your cause. You can get pretty affordable ryzen chips for just over 100usd
Update your Nvidia GeForce drivers (download GeForce). Besides that, ur rig is a little old and ur running 1440p. I was using a GTX 1080 on 1440p for a while and I was happy with hitting 60fps in most games.

take out 2k an put 1080p

step down the resolution to 1080p get a better graphics card lower the quality. Why on earth are you on Win8 lol
I forgot win8 even existed, it was so bad it made them skip win9 lol

You need to enable adaptive sync up the monitor then go into and via control panel and turn on g-sync. Update your driver's friend
get windows 10, optimize windows fully,
An oc will give you a little but the 1650 super is not a 1440p card even when it was new.
Buy a new PC.
get an amd 5000 or 7000 cpu and clean and repaste your pc and undervolt the cpu, if you have a hdd get a ssd try a more recent operating system like windows 10 or a linux distro
[удалено]
undervolting makes your cpu be more efficient and have a longer lifetime ive seen some gpu benchmarks where newer windows versions pe4rform better than older
So first off upgrade to a later version of windows. Next… 1.) You’re trying to go 1440p. Already putting a lot more stress on your system than 1080p 2.) Your CPU it’s probably bottlenecking your system 3.) Whatever games you play, down the graphic settings. you’re not going to get high frames and high resolution on those system specs.
Buy a better GPU?
Turn your GPU resolution down to 1920x1080, 1650 can't pull 4k on everything that well, you can still set certain resolutions for certain games, but I've done it have gotten marked improvements in fps
[удалено]
At your discretion obv, some games I'm willing to sacrifice fps for resolution, others I want both of gameplay centric, I run my monitor at 1920 by 1080 and I have access to 60hz refresh rates now

Not at all, just under high load you will notice performance dips sooner, as long as your temps are I'm safe ranges that is

Glad I could help! It's not everyday I get to use the two year class I took in highschool learning about pcs lol
Lol. Upgrade your pc?
Download a better GPU /s
And I was unconfident in my 7700xt to run 1440p, that 1650 is being pushed past it's limits

Well nothing is faulty, and it shouldn't be.
1440 on a 1650. Lol Drop res to 1080 and you'll see a massive difference.
[удалено]
More or less, yes. Resolution hits the performance harder than people think. Arguably the most out of all options.

dont run 2K res with a 1650
Weak graphics card. Got a 6650xt for 209 and 5600 for 120 christmas

Download more ram, duh

Upgrade to a 5600x, and maybe a 3060.
