    What back GPU/s do you have ?

    I have a RTX 3090 and an A770. I have several other legacy GPUs, like a Maxwell Titan (back from my niece), 240 of some description, and 780 Ti (which has a broken fan), and then we go back into AGP and earlier days with a V5 5500, 7800 GS, Voodoo 3000, and more. I may even have a VLB GPU...

    Spec me a non-gaming 4k 32" monitor

    If my niece wants it, I'll be sending her to university with a gaming setup based around my RTX 3090 and my 27" 4k monitor. This will leave me without a gaming monitor so I'm looking at 32" OLEDs. 4k, 240 Hz, what's not to love? Hopefully some of them will have DP 2.1 inputs by the summer (some...

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    Get something even cheaper - gaming graphics not required. Take a look at the Intel Arc A310 (NOT the Matrox A310) for around £100 new so as to allow your buyer a GPU with hardware AV1.

    Time to retire the 1080ti

    Your GPU has chosen an unfortunate time to expire. Within 6 months we should have both the new Intel Arc GPUs (possibly near RTX 4080 performance) and the Nvidia RTX 5090 (and maybe 5080). Have you identified the source(s) of the noise?

    Upgrading 4090 to 5090 - minimising upgrade cost.

    I don't bother selling; I just repurpose. When I upgraded to a 2080 Ti I gave my brother one of my Titans. That was in use until just recently when I learned that my niece was now into PC gaming (on her father's PC) so I gave her my old 2080 Ti. My 3090 is in my backup PC, which I offered to my...

    The Intel Arc owners thread

    New driver 31.0.101.5444 up. Note that the driver says it has a VBIOS update included though it didn't apply one to my A770.

    Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P Flat QD-OLED: 32" 4K 240Hz with DisplayPort 2.1, KVM

    Displayport 2.1 is needed to display 4k 240 Hz without compression as 60 Gbps bandwidth is required and DP 2.1 manages 80 Gbps.
