    RTX HDR for games!

    Have you tried the native HDR in the game or are you just looking to do a comparison? Whenever I'm next on an Nvidia card I'll have to try this with Darktide as that's a game begging to be played in HDR!

    Helldivers 2

    Yes! We also did some missions on a planet affected by those (got fried by then twice when I got careless), one that has a fiery gas giant in the sky. Incredibly immersive, especially when you're caught amongst zee bugs. Has anyone encountered the flying ones yet?

    Helldivers 2

    Same here. Initially I wasn't that set on the idea but a friend convinced me after I'd had a tipple. So glad I did, as you say it's just pure fun! I've since convinced another two friends to buy and we're having a blast. Even when things are going wrong it's usually entertaining, and the...

    980ti upgrade

    I'd definitely agree WRT the overall system upgrade, will be of more benefit overall than a faster GPU alone, with a nice upgrade path to an X3D CPU and better card down the line when needed.

    Is this expected blooming for a MiniLED monitor?

    It is indeed expected on IPS. As above VA looks better; I think it's the AOC Q27G3XMN that has half the dimming zones but apparently looks better in HDR content due to the higher native contrast I suppose the only advantage of mini LED Vs OLED is the potential for higher full screen brightness...

    Has RTX Changed The Way We Game?

    That's a good point, but raises the question why we haven't seen more of that in the near 3 years since.

    Has RTX Changed The Way We Game?

    I think people also vastly underestimate the number of people with cards capable of running high level RT. For it to become mainstream performance on cards of that tier will need to drastically increase. We're several generations away from that, especially with the generational gains we're...

    GPU Prices Suck. This Is What They SHOULD Have Cost

    While there's some truth to that, if you value RT then you really need to be looking at higher tier cards, the 4070 Super minimum, at least for games with extensive RT implementations and not just shadows etc. I used to buy every generation but the gains at the same price point are so trivial...

    GeForce RTX™ 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G

    Send it back, those temps and the clock throttling are hugely concerning and I very much doubt related to one fan alone being borked. Not worth the risk of tampering with it at all.

    my head tells me no my hart tells me ryzen 7800x3d

    Plus CPU's tend to be one of the more reliable components. In my y experience they're either DOA (or clearly borked from the off) or have lasted years and haven't died on me, or those that have bought/received then from me after I upgrade. As for the OP you could see decent gains but it depends...

    Alienware announces the AW2725DF and AW3225QF (worlds first 4k 240hz and worlds first 1440p 360hz QD-OLED monitors - launches January 2024)

    Yeah. The plan is to grab a monitor and then a card with performance around XTX/4080 level to drive it. The only certainty is I want an OLED monitor as the difference in quality compared to my current one is stark.

    Alienware announces the AW2725DF and AW3225QF (worlds first 4k 240hz and worlds first 1440p 360hz QD-OLED monitors - launches January 2024)

    Hmm, tempted by this but torn as to whether I go 27" or 34" ultrawide. I have some to mull it over as my PC is hooked up to the TV while I'm having a warm room added on the back of the house. The 32" is nice but not sure I want the extra GPU strain of 4K long term (1440p looks surprisingly good...

    **B-GRADE CLEARANCE AND FORUM DEALS**

    A bit late but yes, I bought an Acer Predator IPS for £390 8 years ago (they were around £600 at the time) and it's still going strong. It was returned for IPS glow presumably, but I was very happy with it.

    CPU Overheating - possible dead chip?

    I had the exact same with my Lian Li Galahad when the pump failed. Fortunately they were aware of the issue and sent out a replacement with zero hassle, and it's been running beautifully ever since. I'm glad he got it sorted.

    DLSS Momentum Continues: 50 Released and Upcoming DLSS 3 Games, Over 250 DLSS Games and Creative Apps Available Now

    Nope, hence after seeing my mate do a whole new build after his PSU died and took out his old machine, I have the urge again! Doesn't help that my brother is awaiting delivery of a 7800 XT today (thanks to the Asus cashback offer, will be a huge jump from his 6600 XT). But then I look at 4080's...

    The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

    Absolutely, I made the mistake of getting a 5900X before the X3D was released and really didn't utilise the extra cores enough to justify having paid more. I upgraded to the 5800X3D from the that just over a year ago and performance was much improved in so many scenarios. If you can get him...

    Can anybody tell me if this PSU will run a 4080

    As plenty have said that will be fine. A high quality 850w will be enough for most gaming systems, especially if using Ryzen. Reminds me my EVGA 850W G2 is into it's 9th year and I'm starting to look at replacements (especially as my friend has just had to do a full build after his PSU of 10+...

    *** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

    If the next Xbox has an Intel in it they'll have to double the size to fit the PSU and industrial fan it'll need to feed/cool the beast. :p

    **THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

    About bloody time! I told my mates that have Nvidia cards about it and they're pretty thrilled. Tells you how crap having to use GeForce Experience alongside the CP is, sign in and all. Aside from the sluggishness I had no issue with the CP when I last used Nvidia a few years ago, but this is a...

    Helldivers 2

    It was 1440p. The 7800 XT is a bit faster so based on those results the performance review seems like it would be accurate. Very acceptable performance for this kind of game.
