Honestly, I'm flummoxed.

To answer your original question: you can mainly tell by doing benchmarks and watching your CPU/GPU usage. If your CPU is maxed the whole time but your GPU is chilling at 50-60% usage while you're getting below 60 FPS, you likely have a CPU bottleneck. There are a number of free benchmarks out there, and several "AAA" games will typically have one too (Forza, Returnal, and many others) so you can tune your system.
So buying a 4080Ti without the supporting parts it needs will limit how much performance you can get out of it. Nowadays RAM typically is not the bottleneck.
I had a Ryzen 7 1700 with a 2070 non-super until earlier this year with next to no problems. The only reason I went to a 7800x3d was because it was bottlenecking the software I used to make music.
I like to earn my listens naturally! And I've made...checks notes $36 in 4 years!
Check me out if you want, new track tomorrow on SoundCloud!
She may be making it worse but she has made enough money to not give a shit.
Remember: it's not a war crime the first time.
I got an M.2 drive last year after having a motherboard capable of it for 3-4 years, and naturally named it "Plash Speed".
It's like they're trying to commit war crimes.
The world? Like around the world, around the world?
Clearly down the street.
The new Prince of Persia roguelike is pretty good, although I've hit a wall recently and am too stubborn to look up a walkthrough. Lots of fun otherwise, though.
I have lived down the street from this place for over a decade and had no idea there was a history in their name. On top of that it is mediocre, overpriced, Tex-mex.
