it's definitely the GPU and considering that it got replaced

Never had issues with my monitor
If the screen does not cause any problems, then it is probably the display itself that is defective, or the connection cable
hexed citrus
it's not

because that one is connected via eDP or LVDS unlike the external ones
so the GPU has a lower level access to it compared to HDMI and such

Uses part of yer storage as faux-RAM. Like a swap partition in a Linux installation.

The tachi lite should be like 200 US dollars

Do not buy Asus
Since their customer service will fuck you over if you have a single issue
As a reference of what they tried pulling against me over a CPU ping bent during shipping (they also made me pay for shipping)

260$ is way too much still

I'd just
spring for new since you're going to want a warranty
especially for motherboards

going new my budget would only allow for the cheapest, most bottom of the barrel boards
ive heard most cheap b650s arent very good
stable sonnet
idk I'm not at the bottom end of the motherboard market so I've haven't had to deal with it
but as I said
for the motherboard you want a warranty
since that's one of the more likely parts to fail on you
and has the most chance of taking other shit with it
I bought the like
400 dollar X670E tachi when my asus board killed itself
since fuck it if Asus is gonna try to charge me 400 bucks to fix a 250 dollar board I might as well just swing for a 400 dollar board
its all your money so up to you obviously
but you're basically spending more now to save yourself from future headaches or the cost of buying a replacement board if you just swing for a new motherboard now

vagrant holly
I'd argue AsRock has better looking hardware
More variety too
Big fan of their Tai Chi series
vagrant holly
Fair and again, their strength is the sheer variety
https://www.asrock.com/mb/index.asp
The "Carrara" series is more inline with what you would want on a white PC, huge white shrouds with a marble design theme
"Phantom" is the more Gamer Asus ROG look with LED rainbow lights and whatnot
Steel Legend is still another good motif for white PCs but has an urban camo styling
The lesser known LiveMixer series is the most colorful non animoo collab mobo series on the market I think
The RS is another personal fevourite of mine, simple slick hard surface look
A bit biased for them since the first PC I ever built was on one of their MOBOs and it did not disappoint
stable sonnet
oh i love the look of taichi
oh its a fantastic looking motherboard its why I got the 400 dollar one

I really love asus and havent had any issues fortunately
sorry you got a bad par...
I was having quite a few issues with my computer memory crashing and other shit with my asus board as well
said issues have gone away since I switched to asrock
Asus's AM5 boards have been problem riddled especially since they in particular suffered pretty hard from the cooking CPUs to death issue
I wouldn't of minded that if their RMA process wasn't trying to squeeze money out of me at every turn
I have a 250 dollar paperweight sitting in my closest back home and I have no idea what to do with it since I have no idea if the board's still functional or not and I don't want to throw my replacement 7800X3D in there to test it since I'd rather not have it cook a 2nd CPU to death

So I recently got a new laptop, an Asus Nitro ANV15-51 (I guess? Idk if that’s it’s name) and I have it hooked up via hdmi to my tv. My issue though is that any time I’m not playing a game, watching a video, or listening to music, the screen just randomly flashes black for seemingly no reason. It tends to do it most any time I get a notification from discord but it also just kinda does it at random
My cables are all fine and perfectly connected, so I’m wondering if there’s some setting that is being weird with it
The screen like, flashes real quick and then goes full black for a second kinda randomly. I thought it could be discord and Reddit said hardware acceleration could do that but turning it off did nothing. Even having discord fully closed and restarting my laptop it still does it. The laptop screen itself is always fine, it’s just the tv

The laptop screen is 144 and the tv is set to 60

No. Wall power
Just sitting on my desktop doing nothing it’ll randomly flicker. Or when I open opera it’ll flicker every time
Looking at games on steam but not actively moving around it’ll flicker a lot
The only time it doesn’t do it is when I’m actively doing something, like watching a video or gaming or listening to any sort of audio

In addition, most crashes can be traced back to the user or to poorly programmed/unfinished games (which are becoming more and more frequent) that take the driver with them when propped up
But of course if you prefer to have a Windows XP-like layout and feel that everything runs better because of marketing
And you only want to get every new feature when you buy a new GPU instead of through a driver update

There aren't any because tech outlets do reviews on cards people actually want to read: High end. Low end cards often get ignored or there'll be one review. PCIe scaling on low end cards isn't going to be tested unless the card is interesting in a technical way.
As it takes a long time, due to needing to run the entire test suite 4-6 times
The general consensus even seems to be it's only relevant in CPU heavy games like csgo and fc6
All other games it's single digits if any difference at all.
