"In Linux you need to use nomodeset." Hmm I've not used this. These modern distros fully embrace gaming and detect and install GPU drivers (I've also tried rollbacks and experimentals by downloading from Nvidia's driver download website). Yes on Windows I have downloaded Nvidia drivers and...

Windows 10 Home installed (clean, no files/settings carried over). All updates applied (Windows, NVIDIA driver etc). I get a couple of minutes of smooth gameplay before crashing. This is the 4th OS I have installed (2 Linux flavors (Debian, Arch), 2 Windows (Enterprise, Home). All of them are...

90 day Windows 10 Enterprise trial from Microsoft. All updates installed. I've not amended or installed any other software (execpt for Steam and Star Citizen installer).

Hello My RTX 3060 Ti / Ryzen 5 5600X build arrived about 6 weeks ago. It's an absolute pleasure to work on (Blender etc). Gaming, however, is the complete opposite. Problem: The games I have attempted to run all crash after a few minutes (Fallout 76, Star Citizen, Arma 3). For the few minutes...

That makes sense. Many thanks!

Heh yeh. Well, I wanted to think about it overnight as it's a lot of money for me. Is there a way to be notified when stock is back?

3060 Ti is now out of stock :(

Excellent! I will be ordering shortly. Thank you, and everyone here who kindly helped. Cheers.

Thank you Scott for replying. Just to be 100% clear; are you referring to the build I originally posted to open this thread, or the revised build posted by Steve?

Many thanks!

Many thanks for your feedback and time. Cheers.

So better cooling and case. And the 3060 Ti over the 3070 Ti. Got it. Many thanks for your time :)

Manjaro, Pop_OS... mainly. I like to distro hop :) Many thanks for spotting and posting the Windows removal. Appreciate it.

Apologies, I've edited my post to include link.

Hello :) Monitor: 1440 is preferable. This Benq EX2780Q (27", 2560x1440, 144Hz, IPS) Usage: Work and gaming (Photoshop etc, Blender (hobbyist), AAA gaming titles, no streaming, VR is nice to have but not essential) Budget: £1500 +/- £100 (monitor is not included in budget and will be an extra...

Good idea!

I see. I'm looking at a 27" or 32" size monitor. It's the not knowing how good/bad games will look before a huge outlay. Perhaps text for menus etc. will look pixelated. Hmmm. Many thanks.

Thank you for all the kind replies. Still not 100% sure what to do. I'll seek out some YT videos on 1080p gaming on 4K monitor (large). Cheers :)

Hello – I'm trying to figure out a reasonably spec'd PC (RTX 2070, Ryzen 9 3900 perhaps) for mostly work but also gaming. My monitor will be 4K (I need for work) but I don't necessarily want to game in 4K because I assume (I don't know, hence I'm asking) I'd need to spend more on the spec to run...
