Thank you! I've been reconsidering my GPU choice, it does seem that nvidia are the better choice for productivity and obviously great for gaming too.

Thanks for your reply! Gaming-wise I will expand my horizons I think, to make use of the new setup, so COD, The Last Of Us, Doom Eternal are all on the cards. I chose AM5 as it apparently has more upgrade potential than the current Intel socket? I can see me upgrading to a Zen5 CPU in 2025 / 2026.

Hi all, It's been a long time since I've posted here, or indeed read any posts. It's nice to be back! New build time... My current setup is a bit ancient by today's standards, but it has done me very well: Motherboard: Asus X99-S CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz GPU: Radeon RX...

Mine would regularly give me a black screen, a quick wiggle of the card in the slot and the power leads would restore things. Hopefully the new card is more relaible.

How very odd! I found another post elsewhere reporting the same issue. I'm glad I read a few reviews before pulling the trigger as it's dropped 30 quid today, result! Ordered. I love buying new kit, even when it's due to a less than ideal event!

Brilliant, thanks for the rapid response. Looks like a good card, no problem with power connector routing for me so all good. Thanks all!

First post in a long time. I've been running my Sapphire Radeon R9 Nitro 390 since 2015, a great deal from OCUK on Black Friday for £200. Today in the middle of a game the PC shut down, and now the card seems to be dead. No GPU fans spinning, nothing, even after re-seating the card so I'm...

I'm thinking the RT-AC66U would do me to be honest...

So, two contrasting opinions on wireless performance from Vertigo1 and Twirlywoos... What Vertigo1 reports is what I'm hoping for... :D

The router is stable, the 2.4GHz network is awful. I've got the latest firmware installed and have done a reset. It seems common reading on various forums. 5GHz is absolutely fine. We'd all use 5GHz apart from the poor range in our house. My work machine is quite close to the router and 5GHz is...

My Asus RT-N56U router has started going on the blink, so I'm looking for a replacement. WiFi coverage using the N56U has been iffy in various locations about the house, so I'm hoping a newer model will improve this. I'm happy with Asus, so am looking at the Asus RT-AC68U and the Asus RT-AC87U...

Looking at the latest comments in the PG278Q thread, I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole right now.

Another vote for Keepass. In addition to the password managing part, you can have a ton of fun with the autotype feature. I would be lost at work without it.

I would add that we are supposedly on the verge of new hardware that should provide a big hike in performance, so what costs £500 today could be surpassed by something costing considerably less in 12 months or less. I expect to be looking at next gen gpu's and gsync monitors later next year.

I got a free Lumia 640 from work, and switched from my old SGS3 with work SIM to the 640. Sure, the apps are a bit lacking, but I've never used apps too often anyway. For me it's Facebook, email, browsing, and it's just fine for that. I much prefer the live tiles over IOS or Android, it's by far...

I think the backplate reduces any flex as the card hangs in the slot. If you route the PCI-E power cables so they come from above they add a bit of support too. Mine seems to be running great. Going to sell the outgoing 7850 and they seem to be going for 50-60 quid still, so hopefully I'll...

From a review I read recently, the Sapphire card only turns the fans on if needed, one by one, so it should be quiet unless you're really pushing it. Fitting mine in a bit!

It's nice... :eek:

Mine arrived a while ago. What a huge and lovely bit of kit, hadn't quite appreciated that the backplate model is factory overclocked. Superb deal. Going to be my first view of the Crimson drivers too later... :D
