Thank you for your reply, and the suggestions. I'll have a look...

Was thinking retiring this laptop for a more modern equivalent (mid-range gaming laptop)... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-p35w-v5-cf1-15.6-fhd-ips-intel-i7-6700hq-nvidia-gtx-970m-6gb-gddr5-gaming-laptop-lt-066-gi.html Is it worth the upgrade, or should I give it another year or so?

Hi, the Gigabyte ref. is 207466 and here's the response: "Would first like to suggest you enter to the BIOS, go "Advanced" tab > "3D Graphic Acceleration" and see if it is enabled. If yes, but the NVIDIA GTX 970M graphics card is still missing in the device manager, we are sorry that a further...

Laptop arrived in quick order, thanks OCUK. I really like it, but... The GTX 970M disappeared when I upgraded to Windows 10. Tried everything, driver update, Bios update, even reinstalling Windows 8.1, but it is gone. Burned three days trying to troubleshoot this problem, started a post in the...

Managed to install Windows 8.1 on the secondary HDD, but the GTX is still a no-show. So I need to wait for Gigabyte to issue an RMA. Pity, I really like the laptop. Or do OCUK arrange the RMA?

Yes, uninstalled all graphics, but on reboot, only the Intel HD is detected. I'm struggling to roll back to Windows 8. Deleted the windows.old file previously, needed the space, so that route is no longer available. Can't install 8.1 from USB/DVD, as the primary disk is formatted to GPT (not...

Correct, only the Intel HD Graphics are showing.

Brand new Gigabyte P35W-v4 laptop, upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, now the dedicated GTX 970M graphics is not showing up in Device Manager (not hidden, just not there). Tried everything: Reset Windows 10, twice Disabled graphics acceleration in BIOS Updated to latest BIOS...

I admired your honesty, so ordered a P35W V4-CF1 15.6" QHD IPS, Intel Core i7-5700HQ, NVIDIA GTX970M 6GB GDDR5 Gaming Laptop. Should run Fallout 4 better than my current XPS13 (HD4400) :) A question, will I be able to plug in a graphics amplifier into this laptop at some point in the future...

This one is listed with a 4th gen i7-4720HQ: P37W V3-CF2 17.3" FHD IPS, Intel i7-4720HQ, NVIDIA GTX970M 6GB GDDR5 Gaming Laptop You sure it's a 5th gen?

Changed my mind. Now looking for a half-decent 15" gaming laptop ; Any suggestions?

Thanks for the replies. Any advice on a suitable, small case?

Got the following bits pulled from a Dell 710 xps pc and would be appreciate your thoughts on a SFF to be used to play AVIs on a 42" LCD TV (preferably 1080p capable): - core2duo 6300 sl9sa 1.86ghz/2m/1066 (good overclocker apparently) - 2x samsung sata 160gb 7200 (good for raid0) - 4x1MB...

Thanks again for the replies. I am about 3 miles from the exchange in a rural, hilly area above Dundee. I usually get 512k down and 56k up - not good I know. I wondered if I fitted a mobile phone aerial to my house roof that I might get a 3G signal? I'd then need to figure out how to set up a...

Really appreciate the responses, thanks. They have confirmed my thinking. I'm going to set up a dial-up connection as a backup when ADSL drops-out. I'll look into satellite, but not sure if this is the answer.

Thought that would get your attention! My Virgin ADSL broadband wasn't connectable on Sunday evening and again last night. My Netgear router DG834GT had a flashing orange 'i' symbol indicating no ADSL service. The service starts again automatically in the morning. Virgin have confirmed their...

It's been a month since I RMA'd my 8800GTS direct to XFX (purchased direct from them online). No contact for three weeks and after I emailed them twice I got a response a week ago saying they would ask their technician for an update. Haven't heard since. Like others, I have bought a new card...

Point taken, but your ping is about 1/3 of mine, which makes a big difference in online games (FPS).

Thanks again for all the replies, very much appreciated. Not sure about my router features, but I'll check (It's a Netgear DG834GT). I'm about 7 miles outside Dundee, so no cable: Virgin test: Wherever you live, we're there You can get Virgin Media services wherever you live! Your...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll look into Tmobile, but from some of the replies 3 might not be available or be too slow or be capped:( The kids play games online (Xbox360), so I need the speed and bandwidth. I will be leaving BT this month, just not sure if there is any viable...
