Just seen your link further up. I thought you'd forgot it in the post above... Thanks I just looked up that cable i linked to and low and behold I'd already purchased the same last year with slightly lower specs! If you could see the amount of cables I posses you'd be shocked. I think I'll...

I did a search. I assume the version number is the key. I found this as an example (Backwards tech) Is this what you mean? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D9XXH2HJ?tag=track-ect-uk-2135297-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=ecSEP562jm5irbo2g

Can you provide a link to what type of cable (Latest ones) are thanks? Apologies my memory isn't what it used to be as I've got older. I used to be an electrician, musician, lighting technician and tech savvy many moons back but over time my memory is failing me faster than I'd like...

Thanks Spyder. I'm going to buy a dedicated DP to DP Cable. Again though with all the specs, I don't want to make the mistake and get one that isn't balanced with the GPU (ver1.4a) out ports, combined with the 2k 27inch QHD 1440 x 2560 144hz or so monitor I'm considering to purchase. I think...

Fab reply Spyder. Makes things a lot clearer and has eased my mind completely. ( Yes. Hardware acceleration in the software) I'm learning on the go. Thanks to all the you wonderful responders... Much appreciated.

I think my concern was the fact they use red colouring in Task Manager when the CPU hits its 100% peak. Naturally we all see red as (Red - Warning - Danger) and that's what I perceived it to mean, but apparently not in short bursts.... I get that now. A bit like a VU meter when it peaks red to...

Confused even more now...Haha! Not sure how many cores it used to compress a 500mb file; or even what cores do, or how they work to be honest. So if it uses more cores to do a task, the load is share between them and the CPU is less stressed? To be honest I just thought it was excessive for...

Just got a fast new gaming PC and was surprised how much much CPU (100%) was being used simply zipping up a smallish file (555mb) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 7900 12 Core CPU (4.0GHz-5.4GHz/76MB CACHE/AM5) Motherboard ASUS® TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 6) Memory (RAM)...

When my new pc arrived, it wasn't set up as I thought it would be. Is this normal? I had stated google chrome as the browser which it wasn't! And I had to activate my copy of windows. I thought that was done by them, but maybe that one is done by the end user? Case FRACTAL FOCUS 2 ARGB GAMING...

Apologies for the late reply. Yes I just got my new PC, thanks to "Spyder" for the advice on parts. Again I'm not too savvy on modern PCs, and the GFX card (16GB MSI GEFORCE RTX 4060 Ti VENTUS 2X BLACK OC - HDMI, 3 x DP) does have 1x HDMI port. (Yes I was using the Card and not the MOBO ports)...

The 8K HDMI cable works without the adapters though.

Sorry, should have read. Ultra high speed 8k HDMI cable with HDMI to DP 4k Adapters.

"That's brilliant!... Thanks guys" Think I will go with the bigger fan, as it's not much dearer for more surface area do dissipate heat. I very much appreciated your kind concern and wealth of knowledge. "So shines a good deed in a weary world" I wish you all the best, and may your Christmas...

Ah that's a great help. In my naivety I thought going all AMD would be better, but yes I'm glad you rejigged too. I've changed the CPU and GFX card as you suggested. Stuck with the 1TB 2nd SSD (I can change that at a later date if needed) So extremely happy you got me back on the right track...
