    1080p vs 4k performance in YouTube vids is wildly out of whack

    I agree, though whether it's the gpu or the YT program trying to somehow fill a ultrawide screen is beyond my pay grade. It's a tiny matter and I was hoping it was a common issue. Thanks for the help!

    1080p vs 4k performance in YouTube vids is wildly out of whack

    Edge has same issue. Temps still ramp up on 1080p in full-screen. Seems counter-intuitive that 2k/4k runs @ 33c, while the 1080p vids runs @ 70c

    1080p vs 4k performance in YouTube vids is wildly out of whack

    I really should have thought a bit more before posting. I also forgot to mention that this occurs only when viewing in full-screen mode. I have the fans set to aggressive cooling as well, so I don't think that's an issue, and anyway, it only happens with 1080p at full-screen, and it doesn't...

    1080p vs 4k performance in YouTube vids is wildly out of whack

    I forgot to mention I'm running a Win 11 system via Chrome to YouTube. I wonder if nVidia's work on upgrading the performance of the RTX 30 and 40 series cards on video with less than 4k resolutions, particularly 720p and lower, could also affect the temps? Sorry for such vagueness.

    1080p vs 4k performance in YouTube vids is wildly out of whack

    I'm presently running a 12700k/3080/32gb 3370 ddr4 ram/2tb NVMe ssd to an ultrawide monitor (3440x1440) My issue is the temps while watching YT videos. When in 1440p or 4k, there is no or almost no temp change (Idle-30c; 1440p/4k-33c) but @1080p the 3080 ramps up to 70c! Is this a common...

    Windows 10 i7-6700k; is it still worth keeping as a gaming chip or should I upgrade?

    I haven't had to bother OC'ing this CPU yet. It's paired now with a 2080 ultra GPU. 16gbs DDR4 ram and 1tb SSD. I get a solid 60fps in all my games ( Wild Hunt, FO4, The Outer Worlds ) and I usually game @ 1440p because I cannot see a difference with 4k, but I sure can tell how much the fans...

    What Song Do You Like or Are You Listening Too?

    Love this tune! I recently found my end-game loudspeakers, the ADS L910's( The L810's are in my screen pic) and I am waiting on a new Hsu Research sub to arrive today to go with the SVS PB-2000. The ADS L-series has the best sound I've ever heard. Exceptionally accurate and great with every...

    Windows 10 Free Half-Life for a limited time

    I already have all of these games, but I'm glad others will get to see them. I still love the HL2 games.

    Windows 7 So What Are You Playing Right Now?

    I grew to become very loyal to CDProjektRED after they completely rebuilt the first Witcher game, using suggestions from the forum. I love that game and still play it, but I agree that the third game is one of the best ever made. Playing it today, in fact. It's been my escape route from the news.

    Windows 7 So What Are You Playing Right Now?

    Got me beat! I'm still wandering the Wasteland in Fallout 3. Just finished the "Alton, IL." mod. Pretty good for a one man show. Huge map and tough enemies.

    Windows 10 I got my new computer!!!

    Yeah, I got my 980ti just for TW3, but I didn't really start playing it, past the training start, for about two months after release. By then it was running smooth. EDIT: Now that I think about it, it was a lot longer than two months before I started playing. In fact, soon after I started...
