That's what I'm talking about! Now yuh talking my kind of games

[GabrielBad]

I have Witcher 3 in pc and crysis 3 in ps3...and yes they are good graphics game.

[Stiker101]

I think you should buy regular trident z ddr4 and spend the extra money on a gtx 1060

Lol

Good day master race,

Have a new problem now, when watching videos the CPU reaches 100%. This never happened before, YouTube at 4k and the processor would hover between 5-10%

Any ideas on the cause?

6800k and 980ti gpu 32ram

[gencon]

I running no man sky at 30 frames

A program is running in background or updates are installing probably. ...check your task manager to see which program(s) is using the most of the cpu

I checked that, as I close the video, back to single digit percentage

I lost to what causing this

[GabrielBad]

What media player you're using? Try another perhaps and see what's going on

[GabrielBad]

If it's video from Web (youtube) then try updating you Web browser
You can also try this:
Open task manager click process
Choose Internet Explorer and click on it
On the drop down box choose affinity
Then uncheck some of the cores for eg:
If it's 4 cores deselect 2
Let me know if this works

anyone know where i can get a adapter or a cable like this

tried supertech,wizz,prw, plenty other small stores and no luck
i need the 24+1 , everyone has the 24+5 dvi adapter

[GabrielBad]

I think I have one from my older pc

[kamakazi]

Can you link a couple of the videos so we can give it a spin on our own setups.


Regarding the cable...
That cable will be very difficult to come by as dvi-d to VGA requires active conversion of the signal. Most companies locally sell the dvi-i to VGA as this simply passes the analog signal along 4 extra pins around the spade
They are available online

[Kronik]

That CPU Spike with YouTube issue, I have that as well, no matter what browser I use, it uses CPU processing for the videos. Using a media player for files does not have this problem


I supposed to have a few brand new DVI to VGA connectors, will check when I get home

[GabrielBad]

Sorry but the one I have is dvi to hdmi

[src1983]

Any video at 4k e.g. Linus channel, mkbhd on google chrome

Will try edge late and see if it's across all platforms

[kamakazi]

My setup fluctuates between 46 to 90%...I however do not feed a 4k monitor.

Core i3 6100
Radeon hd 7790

I usually watch at 720 and the CPU is between 20-35%

[sMASH]

dvi-vga,, check supertechtt. saw it in the display case at the sando branch

Does you video stutter and stick as if buffering but internet not the issue??

[kamakazi]

It plays smooth.

Cable adapter... Amazon about 18us

[Kronik]

Got a few of these DVI to VGA remaining.

[kamakazi]

It seems he is trying to convert dvi-d to VGA.... The above adapters will not work if that is the case as those are dvi-i to VGA adapters.

**Update** Seems the problem is restricted to chrome. Youtube clean on edge, but stuttering on chrome

Don't know if it's my pc, or and update thing :/

It's the update in Chrome perhaps....open chrome and click on the three dots on the right top corner of chrome
Click settings
On the top left click about and update

Ever get the 100 percent usage sorted Gabrielbad

Yes kamakazi....I had a similar problem and I fixed it using the said method

My problem seems to be a little different, seems that with "hardware acceleration" in that sometimes even with it on youtube will use the processor for the video and not the GPU. If that makes sense

[kamakazi]

I am unaware if this still applies and I haven't checked it with my system... But it can be the reason for the varying CPU usage scenarios. Thanks for bringing it up src1983

so i just upgraded to windows 10 and the CPU usage while watching videos issue is gone, CPU is now at around 40-50% when watching youtube videos at 4k or 60fps, so thats good.
but ran into another problem now, one of my video cards not supported by windows 10, it too old -_-
so i looking for a replacement card, looking in the classifieds but not seeing anything for sale. so i might bring in one
