    Wait, how much video RAM do you have? Because if it's not enough, I regret to insinuate to you that you will not really be able to test anything at all...

    Is that "Dedicated Video Memory" or "Total Available Graphics Memory"?

    Because the latter is 128 MB, and the former is 16399 MB

    I'm rocking a 4090, but if the 128 MB is what we're talking about, I paid a lot of money to be woefully short of benchmarks.

    You don't have a 4090 if either of those numbers are correct or there is something seriously wrong with your setup. Only the laptop 4090s have 16GB of VRAM and it's dedicated, not shared. All desktop 4090s have 24GB of dedicated VRAM.

    If you could, download CPU-Z, run the validation, and post that here.
    https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

    Alternatively you can run dxdiag and post your GPU's information. For reference this is similar to what a 4090 should look like in dxdiag:
    Card name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
    Manufacturer: NVIDIA
    Chip type: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
    DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
    Device Type: Full Device (POST)
    Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_2684&SUBSYS_51021462&REV_A1
    Device Status: 0180200A [DN_DRIVER_LOADED|DN_STARTED|DN_DISABLEABLE|DN_NT_ENUMERATOR|DN_NT_DRIVER]
    Device Problem Code: No Problem
    Driver Problem Code: Unknown
    Display Memory: 56475 MB
    Dedicated Memory: 24142 MB
    Shared Memory: 32333 MB

    So I'm looking at my GeForce RTX 4090, my GeForce Experience says I have a 4090, but my DirectX DT says a UNH Graphics 770.

    What do?

    Ah, I see. Your 4090 should either be Display 2 or Display 3 in dxdiag. Any chance you know what power supply is in the PC? Being a "custom" pre-built it's possible that they skimped on that and the 4090 can draw a huge amount of power, along with the 13900k having the known voltage issue and also drawing a lot of power. There's also a small possibility that your 12 pin power connector for your GPU isn't actually seated properly, this can also cause crashes.

    If you haven't already make sure you update your motherboard BIOS, Intel released a microcode update to address the voltage issue with your CPU. Unfortunately if you're crashing then it's possible that your CPU is the actual cause since the aforementioned issue can cause permanent damage (there was also a physical manufacturing defect for some 13900k's). After you update your BIOS (or if you've already done the update) then I'd suggest finding a CPU stress test and see if your PC makes it through a medium length run. If your PC crashes during that then it's likely that you'll need to RMA your CPU, luckily Intel has extended all warranties by two years.

    I'm guessing you also have made sure that your HDMI/DisplayPort cable (whichever you're using) is plugged into the 4090 and not your motherboard? (I know this sounds like a patronizing/dumb question but it happens to the best of us at least once lol).

    That looks like an onboard graphics chip (lots of motherboards come with them), what do you have under Display 2 or Display 3? EDIT: Maybe dxdiag is just spitting out the first card it finds and not the one you're actually using.
    I'll 2nd the suggestion of CPU-Z too.

    On the one hand, I have my SEC+ Cert... on the other hand, I'm a Stone Aged Cave Man. So don't worry about sounding patronizing, I don't know what half the stuff you typed even means. :smiley:

    I do know a thing that helped was giving my power plug it's own Plug Bar... that blew my mind. I had it plugged on a bar with, basically everything else. Had no clue that would matter. Now it's plugged in all by itself, and that has helped a lot.

    Not sure what the 12 Pin Power Connector is, but I'll google that and see if I can tell if it's seated or not.

    Updated my motherboard BIOS... umm, yep, another thing to google. :smiley:

    On the Display Cable, I used to do HDMI and then my buddy was confused by that and had me switch. He also ensured I have it into the 4090 and not the Motherboard... so that one is good, thanks to some help. :smile:

    Let me get to googling!

    To answer the question of the OP though, I was sitting around 70 FPS.

    On most games, I'm sitting at 150, but that's probably due to Ashes not being optimized yet.

    Download the Nvidia software/driver and install.

    Is anybody playing with a 1660 ti? ;-;

    My wife has that on her junk PC but we have not tested. DM me I do plan to try Ahses on that computer as well. Unless your testing and we will find out at the same time lol

    ill find out on Friday T_T

    I thought that was what my GeForce Experience was for, since it's a GeForce Driver? Am I wrong?

    I don't have a Display 3, but on Display 3 it does show my 4090. Interesting.

    I have 2 Monitors. So... should I adjust? How do I adjust? LOL!

    Also, thank you to all the people being helpful with this. Great community, willing to help people get their rigs right to enjoy the experience. Thank you!

    Might be worthwhile going into your BIOS and seeing if you can disable the onboard GPU.
    I think most boards with these are supposed to realize when you add a discrete GPU and disable the onboard one (might depend on a setting though).
    I would consult the manual for your motherboard and read up on the options!
