    Battlefield 1 Benchmarks (Gamegpu & the rest)

    So with the latest drivers gtx 1060 seems to be just on par or sometimes a couple frames faster than rx 480 on 1080p correct? One question: Is there a way to force to use DirectX 11 on windows 10, instead of DirectX12?

    Testing a video card *updated*

    Its so great when people find the problem themselves... :) See I wouldn't blame the brand of the vidcard so quick, because if they made cards that last only 20 months then they would be out of business long time ago.

    There were youtube videos today that showed performance of RX 480 is pretty much the same as gtx 970. But I think I am onto you, u seem a little bit of an nVidia fanboy causing all this fuss for no reason, trying to make the new cards look bad because they are too expensive... Btw have u seen...

    GPU enthusiasts, how much are you actually willing to spend?

    Not a bios setting, it was an actual physical switch on the motherboard itself called Slow Mode.

    What about cpu Backplate touching some pins on the mobo, could that cause this behavior? I had to install the backplate for the waterblock to mount on.

    i7 3770k stuck at 1.6ghz (Resolved)

    It still returns to 1.6ghz if its not being used. Uncleweb thanks a lot for all the info. So i guess the mobo would not have a setting in bios to disable this sensor?

    i7 3770k stuck at 1.6ghz (Resolved)

    Well ThrottleStop is the shit. So i run Throttlestop and now the cpu is going up to 3.9Ghz which is the Turbo max of the cpu. So what does this tell me then? The issue is the mobo or the cpu?
