The fundamental difference between Geforce and Quadro is the drivers that Nvidia ship it with. You'll get performance gains using Quadro because Nvidia locks those features behind the Quadro drivers. It costs more because they charge products for "business use" more. I don't use Revit much at...

Looks like you just need a ssd (m.2 gen3 nvme is probably preferred, but you might be missing the screw to secure that drive on the first m.2 slot) and a GPU of your choice.... I guess a copy of windows 11 too. Looks like the original owner had a 12VHPWR gpu card in there at some point with...

24H2 introduces a few new features/bug fixes, but the biggest one would be Wifi 7 support. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/inside-this-update-93c5c27c-f96e-43c2-a08e-5812d92f220d#windowsupdate=26100 It also completely deprecates WMR and bricks those devices if you use any of the...

Oh absolutely it would be pulling more power than the 1080. Power draw on these new cards are wild.

Yeah let it run in for a bit, but I'm still skeptical the GPU would fix the problem if it's happening with another one, albeit it happened less frequently. Hopefully the CPU reseating fixes your issue, but if it doesn't, that mobo needs to go next.

Well you're narrowing down the issue. Have you tried running memtest overnight? If that passes, I'd probably point fingers at the mobo.

DCS is very update dependent on the performance but generally speaking, you need some pretty high end gear to have a good experience. Depending on what you want to do in DCS, you could be looking at something along the lines of an X3D cpu from AMD, 32GB of RAM (64GB if you plan on playing in...

Headphones, technically yes. There are bluetooth dongles for those but I wouldn't recommend them. Too much latency. As for joysticks... not really, no. Wireless USB was a thing many years ago, but it never caught on for many reasons.

got no other GPU to throw in there to stress test?

Thread revival! Got a new phone earlier this year. Same layout, but got a new wallpaper. Meant to post this earlier, but got side tracked.

I wouldn't buy a 5700X3D now if you weren't already in that platform and can upgrade to an X3D chip. Nothing wrong with the 7800X3D, especially with discounts for it since the 9800X3D just came out. Up to you really, between those two. If the 9800X3D isn't sold out, personally I would go for...

It's a deceptive thing to quantify because Windows would manage ram usage differently when there's more available. So when you've only got 16gb of ram, its algorithm will dump more things off of ram earlier when its deemed unnecessarily to hold it. Currently with my use case and using Chrome...

In this day and age, I would definitely do 32GB of ram as a start.

One last question before going down the rabbit hole of RMA'ing expensive parts in the system, have you looked at running your DDR5 memory at jedec speeds? (I believe it's 4800? for DDR5) Do you still have your 1080 to throw in there to stress test? I have my doubts its the mobo/cpu unless...

is it a hard lock are or are you getting a bsod? Event Viewer giving you any hints on the error id?

It really depends on the wiring in his place. Not uncommon for certain rooms to be hooked up with a double pole breaker - which would be fine to run a furnace and a high power drawing computer at the same time. About that coil whine thing, could always reach out to evga for an answer.

Put it up on facebook marketplace or craigslist. Or... build a 2nd htpc build for the tv.

Can't say I can recommend Intel 13th/14th gen cpu's right now with their whole voltage shenanigans.

Ooof. Depends on how bad it is, it could be fixed with some basic hand tools. If you have access to the socket's pin map and you can correlate it to the pin map, you can at least check to see if that pin's used for anything. Sometimes they're just extra ground pins that might not be a problem...

They behave more like a virus/malware than they do as an antivirus. They ride on their past reputation. It's still like that. Sometimes I forget it's even installed. It just does its thing in the background. Only time it does a push notification is to tell you that it updated to the latest...
