Could be CPU. This is my issue with AMD CPU’s. Great for productivity and rendering but not really touching Intel for gaming as of now.
Could be but the 3700X is really nice. I got 100fps on average with the 5700XT at 3440x1440. He hasn't upgrade to the 3700X but I think he's waiting for the 4000 series.

Anybody know how to use two different audio devices on a dual monitor setup? I want one monitor for my computer speakers and one monitor for my gaming headset ?

Different audio at the same time? If not, you can click the speaker icon on the task bar and select your audio source. I use a Chord Async setting when controlled by Roon (a music app) and ASUS soundcard for my computer speakers. In Roon, I was able to have that software control the audio source. When Roon is off, the audio source reverts back to my sound card. Roon costs money and is only for playing music. I think JRiver may work as well, though I've never tried

I started playing Disco Elysium and the game is unplayable with its standard settings and kinda laggy when I use the low graphics settings. More importantly, characters are sometimes unviewable on screen. I realize now that I need to buy a graphics card that was created within the last 5 years instead of the integrated video card that came with my desktop. My computer outside of the graphics card is good (i7 2600) & the game isn't too taxing graphically so hopefully the $90 GeForce GT 1030 does the trick.

I wish I would have done a “before” pic. I just came home from 2 years overseas and my room looked like shyt. I was looking at all them techsource and random Frank p set up videos and was like, there is no reason I shouldn’t be able to do something like this. I finished just before the mandatory quarantine started.
