Thanks all for your input. After watching that LTT, im not going to go for a VM. Back to the drawing board.

Hi gents, thanks for the replies. I can adjust my budget to compensate, and would likely use dlss or fsr to get 4k perhaps. Any advice on CPU/Motherboard for a capable 2 gamer 1 pc set up ? Storage, PSU etc i can do independent research.

I'm in the market for a new rig and could really use some advice from the knowledgeable folk here. My primary aim is to have a rig that can handle the latest games with ease i.e. 4k @ 120fps. Additionally, I'm looking to set up a virtual machine environment for my son to game on of which i...

Hello, my card used to run < 70C for a year or so... now 3.5years on it's hovering around 78-80C and as a result the fans are spinning louder now and the stepped performance has reduced in time with the overclock. Im thinking of replacing the thermal paste on it. is this likely the cause of...

I think your CPU would be the bottleneck at 1080p as I think the 2080 ti is held back by Haswell i7s It would work though to answer your question but I think the general consensus is that you won't be able to get the most of of the card. This is why I kept my 1080 ti with my i7 and wont be...

So if a 2080 is 100% baseline and a 3080 is say 75% better we just need to extrapolate 75% of the baseline to get approximate fps ?

So pascal to turing gave 20-30% improved performance for non RTX features. Am I wrong in thinking that its going to be the same 20-30% improvement for non RTX features for ampere ? Digital foundry was only able to show relative performance % due to assumed NDA and this can be interpreted in...

So you guys reccomend the 3600 instead of the 2700 (similar price) Does the ryzen 3950x (future upgrade path) go in any ryzen motherboard or is it a hedt type of motherboard ? Also will ryzen 4000 probably work on am4 boards ? - just thinking altenative upgrade path is all. Looks like I got...

Strictly for gaming. I have 1080 Ti / PSU / Case / SSD etc... Want a cheap upgrade to improve fps, min fps & 0.1% lows. Thoughts on this ? was thinking down the road i can drop in a 3950x if i get a 1/2 decent motherboard? been out the computer scene for a while now so perhaps i'm talking...

Thanks for the reply. I'm mainly gaming. Headphones i've considered are; Philips GSP9500 (overpriced and discontinued?) - these have 3.5mm jack Audio-Technica ATH-M50 are 2.5mm - no good. beyerdynamic DT 990 have fixed cables so i cant add a mic. I ideally want an open headset with bang for...

I have a msi g45 z87 motherboard but the on-board dac isn't good enough to drive some good headphones I think I need a dac & amp to drive a vmooda boom pro mic and some high end headphones. I'm pretty much clueless about this... I'm not an audiophile but I like good sounds. My senhieser 363d...

Your cpu is rated to run at much higher temps and all are safe based on what you posted. If you are getting some stuttering it'll be down to your GTX 970 but to check use msi afterburner osd for utilisation %

I'm getting the pc off him tomorrow night I'll check the fans clean and mount with the tubes the right way ... I'll post a reply cheers chaps

i've asked him to reset bios to stoc i'll report back in a bit, if anyone is interested in helping a middle-aged non techie :D

This is P95, i think his CPU is overclocked to 4.4 (99.77 x 44) and the AIO can't cope for whatever reason.

**update** he has a corsair AIO but it hits 100C during prime 95 26.6 when NOT overclocked.... any ideas / suggestions before i remove it and buy a replacement cooling solution? i only have experience in HSF. ** update 2 ** just got this pic from him.... the rad has no cooler on ? is it just...

just a basic overclock so looking for a ~£30 HSF

mate needs a new CPU cooler for his 4790k i have the 212 EVO but thats old. whats the equivalent these days ? Thanks in advance gents and ladies!

1080P @ 144Hz > 1440P @60Hz in my humble opinion.
