I discovered this when I finally got desperate enough to try reseating the GPU, went to unplug the HDMI cable from it, and realized that the HDMI cable was in fact not plugged into the GPU

Anyway, I’m loving my new prebuilt PC

    I used to play Fall Guys on my PC I built and I had weird frame drops all over the place no matter what I did. And that game is not very graphically demanding.

    Turned out I had placed my GPU into the PCIe 2.0 slot instead of the 3.0

        It was odd though, 95% of games didn’t have that problem. I am guessing it was partially because that game heavily uses PhysX for physics calcs? The frame drops always happened when a ton of bean people were ragdolling.
