Figured it out.
Only seemed to be initial startup when Steam loaded and loading Steam games.
Load of Googling, turns out I am showing 2 display devices in the device manager. No idea why. Disabled the AMD one and boom, lightening quick after restart.
I guessed there was something like that to do with the initial boot up. Takes a while before power gets to the keyboard.
Loading up Call of Duty for example. Old PC, double click the shortcut, about a second later, it’s loading. New PC, double click the shortcut, 15 seconds before it’s loading...
Quick one guys. Any idea why my 4 year PC seems to be quicker than my new one? Benchmarks prove otherwise, but, older PC starts up way quicker. Loads windows quicker and any program or game loads quicker. I’ve no idea why. My new one seems sluggish in comparison.
Games run amazingly when open...
I enjoy a good re-install 😂
RAM is running at 6000. Showing up fine in the task manager 👍🏻. I’ll run a memory test just to be sure. May be just that I’m used to using 64gb 😂
Completely clean install pal. I’d already read to do that and not license the test version.
I’ll have a look in a min, see what it’s listed as.
My old PC had a better memory benchmark than mine, but that has 64gb 😂
Alright guys,
Got the PC on Thursday. Finally got everything installed and it’s running fine.
Carried out a few benchmarks and come back top of the pile. Only thing I need to check with the memtest is the memory. It came back quite low (44th percentile) of the CPU Passwork software.
Tell you...
I’ve been trying to time it right. I couldn’t receive it before Xmas as my lad would know he’s getting my old one for Christmas 😂.
So I’m trying to time it to get delivered after the 30th December when I’m finished nights 🤣.
Weird I know.
I can save the difference if I don’t get windows...
What about this config? Still tweaking. Music production needs more cores hence the 7950X3D
Do I really need the 5000D case or can I get away with the 4000D in your opinion?
Case
CORSAIR 5000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16 Core CPU...
Thanks again pal. Really informative. I’m trying to remember if I need 64gb ram when producing music 😂. I can’t remember how the ram is utilised within the DAW. Haven’t done any for a while.
