    Is it safe to buy AMD again?

    Stubbsy I'm with you on the 5700XT. Worst card I've ever owned for random crashes and I've owned 100+ cards going back to the 4200ti. It did heavily seem to be a driver fault. After the first extremely poor six months the drivers got a lot better but occasionally AMD would release a new driver...

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

    Wow, the Aorus Extreme is now £848.99. That's the one card I was really going for. These prices are disgusting now. That's just made up my mind to go for the FE card straight from Nvidia.

    5700XT: Fine Wine strikes again

    Ha ha fine wine my ass. My XFX Thicc III 5700xt has given me nothing but greif. It's seriously been my worst experience with a GPU in over 20 years. The Nvidia 3000 series can't come fast enough.

    Oldest graphic card still be used for gaming?

    I'm using a 980ti in my main build (until the 3000 series launches) but I still sometimes fire up an old PC I have with an Nvidia 5900 XT in it from 17 years ago.

    Oven Trick

    I've lost count of how many times I've done this with graphics cards and Xboxes in the past for myself or others. The part that most people forget or don't care about is that if the thing has failed due to the part getting too hot (and cooling again) a lot, it's best to add in a better cooling...

    Scotland has today introduced a minimum unit price for alcohol

    After having a look at some of those articles, I can assure you that's not a satirical site. It might read like the authors graduated from the Facebook school of journalism, but it definitely sounds like Glasgow to me.

    What is your GPU history

    Some Voodoo card in a Pentium 3 machine that I can't remember. Nvidia Inno3D GeForce FX 5700 LE 256Mb. Nvidia PNY GeForce 6200 512Mb. AMD HD 6850 1Gb. AMD XFX 7970 3Gb. AMD XFX 7970 crossfire. Nvidia GeForce GT 730 (in a random old desktop for no real reason other that I wanted to see what it...

    980Ti fan failing help!!

    In what way is the fan starting to fail. Are you sure it isn't something a bit of lubricant can't fix? Worth a try before you do anything drastic.

    GPU prices go boom

    I can't believe I'm seeing the likes of MSI 1080ti X's on some of the other main marketplaces going for £1100+. For the foreseeable future I think I'm backing out on high end parts. This is crazy. I honestly can't see the next bunch of high end cards (1080ti level) from now and on costing under...

    Overclockers have upped gpu cost???

    Yup £267 that's the 6GB price. You must have needed it real quick. I would have gone for the lower price and waited for the restock.

    Overclockers have upped gpu cost???

    £329! They are going for £267 elsewhere (not naming names). You need to brush up on your shopping skills.

    Grand Theft Auto V is about to look borderline photorealistic

    Ah makes sense. I thought my eyes were going.

    Grand Theft Auto V is about to look borderline photorealistic

    Was this someone recording their screen with a phone? It's not just me right? It says 1080p but looks more 480p or 720p.

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    That happens a lot, but not these guys (Eaglemoss). They've got a lot better in the past couple of years, but what they're bad for is missing shipments/magazines. I've ordered stuff from them that never turns up until a few months later (after an email to their customer support). I'd never...

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    My Eaglemoss big TOS Enterprise came in the post today. Bigger than I expected. I felt like a little kid at Christmas opening the box, seeing as none of the family care about my own little gift to myself, I had to post it somewhere.

    Moving from console to pc but cant find anything to play

    Baz if you liked Skyrim you should try the Skyrim mod Enderal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnracFjiC_k It's a full game. It's not even set in the Elder Scrolls world. You'll need to pick up the old version of Skyrim not the special edition, seeing as the Steam sale is in two days you'll...

    windows 10 slow to save files

    SSD or HDD? Sounds like it's an HDD platter taking it's time to spin up. I have a few drives in my system and have one particular drive that does this. If so it's nothing to do with Win 10.

    Whats your Game of the Year so far?

    For me, by a long shot Hitman 2016. A lot of people have been put off by the episodic content (I was a bit sceptical at first). It turned out to be a fantastic idea. If this had been released in one go most people would have played each mission once or twice and blast through the story in 8...
