Please don't trust the network value from the task manager. They show no activity in network but in reality if you open the router network flow you will see your PC has an active connection with the windows server. That connection uses almost all bandwidth and only reduces if you use your PC to browse or download.
Note: It's actually possible to change the name of the components too. Someone once tried to scam me telling they had a 13th gen i7. Too bad for him I'm a PC nerd and saw those core counts, clock speed, cache etc and identified it was a i3 10100F.
you guys gotta keep in mind that for older gpus and intergrated graphics, the gpu tab doesnt exist because of older drivers for newer software. So yeah i would just go to device manager and then display adapters and thats where you'll find your'es.
If for some reason your gpu doesn't appear in the task manager then press windows+R and type dxdiag and you will see all your specs grapghs card included
I’d love to see some tips on what healthy pc specs are supposed to look like! I’ve known how to see them for a while but it doesn’t do much if you’re not sure if it’s out of the ordinary or not.
As a beginner I had problems with temperatures, I used a stock heatsink and while I got a better quality one I tried to reduce the heat in any way but I always ended up with 70 or 80 degrees at 30 fps now with a quality heatsink it reaches 45 degrees at 60 fps
1. create an empty text file 2. rename it to anything u want 3. remove the ".txt" and replace with ".nfo" 4. when u open now, u have all the specs of your pc you ever wanted to see
I use dxdiag for almost all that info. Doesn't tell you speed of RAM or how many sticks, but it tells you model of CPU, frequency, number of cores, how much RAM is in there, and the display tab shows you information about the GPU.
Did this on my school pc and they have 16 gigs of ram, 9th gen i7, and RTX 2070’s with a double monitor setup. It’s a computer science class where we create apps for android or another class that does game design
i did it with pretty much every school computer id get on to see if it'll run COD4, i had a google drive where i had a bunch of definitely legally obtained games and id just open it up download it, extract it and play and id play so many games. i had a sub come by and just sit and watch me play COD4 he said "i dont think you should be playing that" i said "probably not" and he just watched me play, didnt tell me to get off or anything
We can't do it at school because task manager is blocked for us in the sense we can't access it. They probably don't want us ending the task of their spy ware
My uncle recently bought a new PC and I wanted to know the specs, not expecting much, but when I showed him how to check, I was utterly surprised by an rtx 4070
Task manager the GOAT program looking at ur cpu cores is the coolest thing ever. I didnt know abt tht graph until i right click on it one day then MIND BLOWWWNNN forever
some school computers can and do disable task manager (for some reason) but then you can still go to settings, it's not like they can disable settings... right
I don't have a pc I have a shitty old desktop but another way of finding out your specs is going to the run application or whatever you call it and then writing dxdiag no caps no spaces it will tell you if you wanna scan the drivers but I usually press no so then it comes and showes alot of information and even the windows version your running and cpu gpu ram and literally everything
Bought a pre build pc, it was cheaper and a well known brand. It has 4 ram sticks installed, in total 128gb ddr5 5600 mhz ram. It was running at 4000 mhz and when asked about xmp and fully usıng the 5600 ram speed they told me that since all 4 slots are used it's not recommended and keeping the ram speed at 4000 mhz is healthier for the system in the long run. Should I keep it at 4000 or go for higher ram speed?
We can always get much higher if the system can manage it. I haven't heard of ram speed damaging a system it all depends in your processor and considering its ddr5 ram I can conclude that it can manage it
I google CPU name then go intel ark site to find info like RAM type it's meant to run on to find out what class of ram the PC runs on, own PC I built so of course I know it's DDR4, I do it for PCs at work that need upgrading RAM and I don't want to open them just to look them up.
Should you run a stress test before or after adding an os and how do you do a stress test? My bro and I are going to build one soon. I also commented my pcpartpicker url in a video today.
I’m very curious about computers. So when I’d go to a friends place and they had no idea what specs they had, I was curious to know and All I’d want to do is look at task manager. They acted like I was going to destroy their PC or install some virus onto it lol
How do you choose the games to benchmarks, as in do you go off of the top 5 on steam or something?(your the only RUclipsr that includes rust in their benchmarks btw thanks)
You can also check this by using the directX info, but you'll get only cpu, GPU and bios info. Press window key + R, then type in dxdiag, if this has never been done before a dialog will show up if you want to verify for WHQL signed/certified drivers, click yes, then a window will show up showing cpu info, then go to video tab and you'll see the info for each GPU. Renderer for internal GPU (say your Iris Xe GPU or your Intel gma 950 GPU).
Imagine buying rtx 4090 and you see gt 1030 in task manager 💀
Scammers would probably modify the GPU bios to show 4090 anyways
Serious scammers would do but most people scamming aren't smart or dedicated enough to do that@@supguyy
I once bought a r9 7950x3d, bios showed it as a r7 7600. Bought it off of Amazon so I think someone replaced the IHS of their old cpu with the 7950x3d's IHS and returned it and I got it.

Luckily it’s pretty easy to set up with MSI aftrrburner
