    Time to retire the 1080ti

    I had £2000 in mind but I dont need to stick to it, as long as my wife doesn't find out! I would rather spend a bit more now and not need to spend anything for the next 5 years, with the 5800x3D, 32GB Ram and a 4090 i would expect this to last a minimum of 5 years before looking at upgrading...

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    Agree that the 7900XT gives the better price per performance/frame, however the 4080s have overall more power and has better RT performance. Anyway i am looking at a 4090 now :)

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    Apreciate the reply :) You have selected the 4000D not the 5000D i was looking at, i dont think there is a huge amount of difference and the GPU would fit in the 4000D, i will have a look at some reviews and see, could be a good way to save £60. I had looked at the Zotac cards but im sure i seen...

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    What would you consider better value? Obviously the case front needs to look decent, but for fans I read that the t30s are some of the best right now. I'm open to suggestions however.

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    This is a good idea but i really dont want to deal with Facebook,Ebay or any other selling sites, If i had access to the members market here then i would but thats not going to happen for a long while! I could push the budget up to accomodate a 7800x3D system but my current motherboard and Ram...

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    I want the option to try ray tracing and my monitor has G-sync support. I am open to an AMD card but my undersatnding is that although they can match a 4080s in some games the 4080s still comes out on top while using less power. I have two NVME drives a 250GB Sabrent Rocket that has my OS and...

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    I cant see any 4090s for £1300, looking at pricing on OCUK i can only see them for £1700+, however i may see if OCUK would price match as i have seen the Gigabyte Windforce 4090 at £1600. I am not looking at going AM5 as that would be £600 minimum, i think with a 5800x3d i could get another 4...

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    Hi All, Many years ago (Dec 2017) I purchased an EVGA FTW3 1080ti which has been rock solid from day 1. However its now showing signs that its ready to retire by only working when the debug option is selected in the Nvidia control panel, as soon as a game loads without this checked it crashes...

    OLED users - do you have a second, non-OLED monitor?

    I have an LG 48GQ900-B OLED Gaming monitor as my main display and a 27" 4K IPS Acer Predator as my second display. I'm an IT consultant working remotely and play a range of games in the evenings so the LG is on 12+ Hours a day usually, 8-9 of those for productivity. Had the LG since Feb this...

    Upgrade sanity check

    Thanks for the link, I did see that but had no idea how trustworthy the website is and i have no idea what any of the data provided means :cry: I'm thinking of sticking with the Corsair case which is compatable with the PSU, with the case i like the idea of having the additional fans on the...

    Upgrade sanity check

    Just checked that out but i dont think it will be suitable, the max GPU lengh for the case is 345mm which would still limit me on GPU options.

    Upgrade sanity check

    What PSU would be recommended for around the £150 mark? I have looked at the Corsair RM1000x Shift which i can get under £150 right now.

    Multiple screens and speakers

    This is probably going to be personal preferance and based on your use case. If the speakers are just for general sound and maybe some YT then either side of the monitors would be fine. But if you are watching movies and TV shows or using for gaming then a more optimal position would be better...

    i think i made a mistake on this build

    You would be better off plugging your monitor and peripherals into a potato... Why are they listing chrome in the spec list? and i didnt even know you could by a new GeForce 710 these days! they must be over 6 years old now. So here is a build to get you started, im sure others will start...

    RAM upgrade
