PC Builds Cyri VS Tom's Hardware

Pc-builds.com states that with an i5-8400 2.80ghz, I would have too much bottleneck if I upgrade my GPU to a 3060, but 0% bottleneck if I upgrade to a 3050 8gb. I've got the 1060 now and it's served me faithfully, is the jump to a 3060 for $230 worth it? Source: 5 months ago

I have a 5 year old pc housing a gtx 1070 GPU with a ryzen 7 1700 CPU, and 16gb of ddr4 ram. I need more fps for newer titles such as valorant and counter strike 2. I used pc-builds.com's bottleneck checker and it said that my current cpu is bottlenecking my gpu, but other websites say otherwise. Will buying a new cpu, likely a ryzen 5 5600, be enough to boost my fps and get rid of any potential bottlenecking? Source: 8 months ago

My valorant FPS is always at around 275 to 350 according to pc-builds.com it should be around 850 on average. Source: 10 months ago

I was thinking about a 6700xt, because I used a bottleneck calculator on this site: https://pc-builds.com/, and I saw that I could play elden ring decently and it almost hasn't bottleneck. Source: 10 months ago

I'm on a Gigabyte Vision OC GeForce RTX 3090 24 GB and an i7 13900KF and I just upgraded to a 1440p 180hx monitor. The framerate calculator on pc-builds.com says I should be getting a minimum of 192 up to 415fps at 1440p on max graphics. But in-game I'm getting 80-150fps. My NVIDIA performance overlay says my GPU Utilisation is at 99% and CPU is at 10%. Anyone know what's wrong? Source: 10 months ago

The problem with social media is that it has to get a large userbase, and it's much, much harder to convince someone to pay than it is to use your free service. Especially if your service is social media. Twitter seems to be trying to get people to pay, and it isn't going well for them. No, in today's world in order to make a "profitable" social media, you have to get people to pay through other means. Like... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

It's a nice glossy magazine full of eye candy. Fun if you have like 3-4 hours to kill at an airport coffee shop. But otherwise, nah.. Age of the internet, often as not I'm looking at freshnews.org, and maybe diving into arstechnica.com, tomshardware.com, or one of the other old school ones like theregister.com for my serious tech news.

FYI the 13900K is notorious for being a very difficult CPU to cool When running at full throttle. Most AIO coolers cant handle the thermal dissipation requirements of this processor. The largest 360 and 420s can do it though. Suggest you go to tomshardware.com and look at their AIO cooler reviews to give you info on thermals and noise profiles of different coolers.

The best way to learn about how they behave is to read reviews on different SSDs. A site like tomshardware.com regularly reviews SSDs and compares them to other models so you can get a really good idea how they behave. They use various testing methods which mimic the use of the SSD in things like booting, gaming, and as large storage drives. With that data, you can work out whether the SSD is suitable for you.
