Sounds like the grahic card what cpu is it does it have graphics itself? Or is it a bios issue?
Love hard ocp, built my previous 2 server racks off of that place advice.No offense taken, but you and @Ciggavelli (when shyt is working) are the only people I see on any regular basis who feel positive about the direction PC gaming is going. You two also happen to be some of the few who are dedicated, and have no reservations in spending WILD bread (and time) on your rigs. I am on HardOCP more or less every day, and those are the kind of people they cater to, and they all pretty much hate the direction. It's not even about console vs PC, I just don't feel it. There are a plethora of reasons, I just mentioned the GPU market because it related to the current topic. You yourself in the post I quoted were complaining.

Perspective plays a role, I guess, but I stand by what I said.
The only direction you can hate is Intel cheapeness to actually create new products instead of rebuilding on the same platform and Nvidia greed. Everyone who can't see outside of their little box of what once was, are the reason for the lack of competition in the market to cause both of those brands to charge nearly double for their new products.
The only people who are mad are those who want 2080ti performance for 700 dollars but cannot comprehend what happens when one brand dominates a market. They have many choices to choose from. 4K gaming is still a new thing that takes far too much GPU compute for modern graphics to afford and most gamers cannot afford that luxury so what is the point?
The problem with PC gaming is it used to be expensive to truly get into. After buying everything monitor + k&m + rig you were at least 1500 deep for something of decent standard to play 1080p 144hz. Now you can do all of that for 800 dollars. Where consoles now cost so close to lower end pc builds, you get so much more functionality out of a PC. Like @Ciggavelli is saying, it's just a better experience, no one needs the top-end equipment to enjoy. shyt I enjoy playing on my 1080 high refresh rate monitors too. A rx580 or 1060 is more than enough to get enough fps in those games for most gamers. No technology last has long as Pc's too which don't degrade over time like laptops.
The issue with Nvidia and intel pricing is what they are doing to long term buyers who have fed their core. Now someone who was buying i7 and highest grade ti cannot afford to buy the best rig but in most situations like today both are overpowered for regular use-cases with other alternatives. Most people aren't gaming at 4K 120-144hz to justify needing a 2080ti beside future proofing. The Hardocp people are suppose to be mad. They have been shilling and supporting one direction and didn't expect both companies who have shown time and time again they are only in it for their best interest.I never knocked it. I spend a ton of money and time on other things. I just said it wasn't for me. I fix, install and deal with people's computers (and various forms of user error) all day. I could build a rig blindfolded (built mine and my wife's), but I don't feel like dealing with most of that at home. I'm also tech support for my family
Edit: Also, you are the ONLY person I come across that isn't heated at current GPU prices, especially considering the lack of performance jump per dollar.
I buy intel and nvidia because they sell the best in most gaming function but also support amd because competition is necessary. Most nvidia fans only want amd to release gpu so nvidia can release cheaper cards. They are the direct issue with the computer market in the fashion you are speaking on it; that's their problem. They are still going out and buying 2080ti while whining.
