There's absolutely nothing wrong the 3700X (great chip), but for those out there - myself included - who have been waiting 5+ years for a compelling reason to upgrade, having to compromise due to stock availability is what makes the situation the most frustrating. Perhaps it would have been...

I've been watching the ETA for the 3900X in various places, and the previous expected arrival of August 5th now seems to have shifted back to August 31st. I don't think anyone knows if/when these are likely to be back in stock.

I'd stick with it, especially when considering the price of the chips has increased £40 already since the SKU appeared on e-tailer inventories. For those pre-ordering at the higher £500+ prices then I might feel differently, but for 12 cores/24 threads in a mainstream (albeit enthusiast) CPU...

Same boat (and CPU) as you, but I'm going to wait till the new AMD Zen chips get released before taking the plunge. I've had the same CPU since 2012, so I don't see that a couple of more months will make that much difference :) Just a note about GPU encoding, I bought a Turing-based GPU, and...

Reading the QA, it's apparent that yes, DLSS works on a per-game basis, each of which needs to be 'processed' by NVIDIA before it can be enabled. I wondered how developers were going to do the training, but it reads as if they don't do it at all; NVIDIA does that part on their behalf. If that...

Not sure if anyone else has seen this Q&A session with Andrew Edelsten, technical director of deep learning at NVIDIA: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/nvidia-dlss-your-questions-answered/ It clarifies some of the questions around how DLSS works, but there's an interesting point here...

It's safe to say that Vega holds enough promise to prevent me from buying a GTX 1070/1080 - I've resisted upgrading thus far, so it makes sense to at least wait and see how Vega pans out. I've got a feeling that Vega will be decent competition for nVidia in the top end - the crucial thing will...

I think that AMD and associated press are making all the right noises about Zen /Vega - a couple of articles have pointed out that high-end gaming hardware is one area where the PC is seeing growth, so I'm hopeful that AMD has products to rival both Intel and nVidia in their respective segments...

The new motor - Jaguar F-Type S Coupe :)

I'm waiting for reviews, but I'm considering replacing my 780 with a 1080.

If you want quick and convenient recording (and have an nVidia card) then ShadowPlay isn't a bad choice, especially as recording performance is very quick. However, if you want the best possible quality then you really need to be looking at a software-based recorder (e.g. Dxtory) and a fast...

Don't forget that AVI is only a container for video/audio streams; you'll need to make sure that the codecs in the MKV and MP4 files can be decoded by the DVD player. I'd recommend Handbrake or AviDemux :)

Got an XB1 for Christmas and loving FH2 :) Any chance someone could invite me to the club? Gamer Tag: AL82

Took delivery of a pair of AKG Q701's yesterday (the lime green ones as they were cheaper - who cares what they look like :p ). Extremely impressed with them so far. Not only is the sound quality brilliant, but they're extremely comfortable. I've worn several headsets in the past that make my...

I was wondering if anyone here has had a chance to compare the sound quality of the Essence ST/STX against the D2X? While the sound quality from the D2X is excellent, would I notice any improvement in moving to the STX? For info, I run a pair of B&W 685 speakers and a set of AKG Q701...

+1 for Theme Park. It's been many years since I played it, but I'm pretty sure that first level is a very basic tutorial that allows you to place a couple of rides and a few shops. As I recall, you can also change the difficulty level so you don't have to worry about micromanaging stock...

I owned an Amiga 500 and what a simply amazing machine it was! The graphics were great, true enough, but for me it was all about the music; the capabilities surpassed just about everything out there for almost a decade. For those interested, I have a YouTube channel dedicated to retro...

If you have a Kepler-based card then I think I read that Shadowplay is finally launched on October 28th, so you could give it a whirl before deciding. If you don't, I'll certainly be giving it a go :) I think it will be faster than a software solution, but the quality of the recording is yet to...

I'm not quite sure what to make of SteamOS, but I don't see it as a bad thing. I remember Gabe Newell making comments about how they managed to get superior performance out of some of their games when running under Linux. If they truly can get superior performance gains and there is enough...

Absolutely - we need competition and Origin certainly doesn't hold a candle to Steam. I love Steam, but if Amazon has cheaper prices and a reliable platform then I'm there :)
