Upgrading from a 1060 — what is the sensible jump?

Coming back after a long break and trying to catch up. What confuses me is that it behaves differently depending on the order I do things in.

The thing that keeps tripping me up is that everyone assumes you already know the basics, and the wiki is out of date. Will update the post if I find a cleaner solution.

Only partly related, but the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

Worth a shot before anything drastic.

From experience, this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

The usual fix here is give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

Report back once you have tried it.

Only partly related, but verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

Quick correction to the above: do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

Let us know which part worked.

Depends on your setup, but broadly the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

This is the bit people miss — that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

Short version: keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

In my testing, it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

Others may have a cleaner method.

Agreed on most of this, except the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

Only partly related, but if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

That fixed it for me, at least.

Quick correction to the above: nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

Had the exact same issue. if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.
