Sold my backup 1030 during the mining craze. Anything else is too old for uefi bios and w11.

If AMD do what they've done the last 2 or 3 gens, then the release price of RDNA4 will be a tiny bit worse in £/performance than the clearance price of RDNA3. 7900XTs are now down to £630. I'm gona guess the clearance price of the XTX will be below £700 but maybe not as low as the current XT...

For a "budget" build, I wouldn't spend more than the £70 Seasonic 650W. Or the £80 modular version. Though to me, the second you start spending on luxuries such as modular, its stopped being "budget". You only need 750W psus for builds using 320W class graphics cards with >100W processors. And...

Brand new AMD 16gb 6800s are £360. Tiny smidgen faster than a £400 AMD 7700xt. There is only a 5 watt difference. So unless you need the video codec support on the newer gen card. Or a specific need for cuda, then you just wouldn't go 4060ti.

They seem to be going wacky wasteland style. I wouldn't have chosen it, but I don't dislike the style. It does technically fit the games the best. And I've enjoyed most of the show so far.

I think that scene might be due to them not being an expert with the suit controls. However the suit props probably are cardboard! :D

People often want a pc for lots of other reasons. So the cost of a gaming PC isn't much more than the card.

I would eco the AMD suggestion to go easy on that processor. Which would mean a 5700xt @£150. But what I wanted to post about was my surprise at finding 3060ti's only going for 10% more on average than 3060 non-ti's :O This is at the £200 and £220 point on the 'bay. There must be a lot of 2nd...

If you can get a new 6800 for £370, then go for that! Edit: OK, fully legit @OP yeah go for that. Didn't realise they were generally available at such a fair price still.

Can't believe no one is mentioning the 4070s. After you factor in the 2-4 year running cost of power, its effectively the same price as the GRE. Arguably better if you go with what some posters are saying about the cheapest cooler option not being able to handle its hefty power output...

Would be good to check if your hardware is running correctly first. You might have already done this. I would start by installing temperature checking software for your graphics card such as CPUZ and something for your CPU. Then run standard type benchmarks. Even something like Userbench might...

The majority on this forum (and elsewhere) consistently put Raw Rasterisation (which means no raytracing/upscaling), Raw Performance instead of Power Efficiency, and not using any Upscaling ever. Oh, and having more memory than is currently needed for 'future-proofing'. So that means the...

I think if I had up to £700 to spend on a gfx card for an existing 1080p monitor... I'd spend £200-250 on a 2K monitor and £450-500 on the gfx card. Rather than wait a few months, as you say.

I wonder what the percentage is for people who pay full price for games at release. My main thought on the HW-U video is that people voted that 'reasonable' is to expect a doubling of performance over 3 generations now. Where as my 'old' (ish) yardstick has been a 40% per generation. Which...

vega 8 5000 is about 20% faster than a 1030 with sufficient ram speed. About the same speed as a last gen games console, but with only access to default up-scaling on the last gen games that came out before the era of FSR.

Stable diffusion 3 got released to influences last week. No date yet on any public release. No massive leaks I've seen about memory requirements apart from that it will be higher, but "be configurable for all types of hardware". I only use Stable diffusion 2 (SDXL) in a basic way - couple of...

PCEI 3 max support from your CPU vs 4 shouldn't have anything to do with stability. Its just that any future gfx cards (faster than the 6600) and/or you want to go to 1440p will ideally need more than 8xPCIE 3. If your NVME is in the top most slot it should get its own direct access to the...

Glad to hear that the power was manageable. Get it undervolted. Hope you solve the other issues and don't need to ditch it. It should appear as a red square icon when you type AMD or Adrenalin in the windows search bar. I find the software fine vs the Nvidia control panel/geforce experience apps.

With the GPU-Z free app. Or Afterburner if you already have that installed.

Before I bought a 3090, at no time did I check the die size. Its an irrelevant statistic. I bought it for 24gb and cuda. I wouldn't swap it for a 4080 super. As 16gb isn't enough. I wonder how many of OCUKs check die size before a purchase. Yet on this forum its discussed ad infinitum.
