GRE enjoyers will probably have similar feelings when the top SKU RDNA4 launches later this year if the pricing and performance speculation is accurate and on it goes! I wouldn't agree with the OPs premise that the GRE is a strangely flawed product, it's appeal is just dependent on pricing and...

Enjoyed the pre-release beta, playing the veteran and zealot mostly. Had about 5 crashes to desktop over the two weeks and one game of frequent DCs but otherwise it was quite stable. Pretty pleased with the performance on my 7-year old PC as well: playing at 1080p high settings with FSR 1.0...

The Jonsbo W2 looks interesting. Will have a look at their range as the W2 seems to be discontinued now. Did consider ITX but don't have a pressing need to go that small and by keeping it to mATX should have a wider upgrade path in future and keep costs reasonable. I do like dual chamber cube...

Has anyone used this case for a build? I'm looking at mATX cube case designs for a cool and quiet system for a family member based around a 5600G (no discrete GPU planned) and recently came across this one. I quite like the overall design but can see a few potential niggles; am also...

Given its heft, is there any indication with the XT in particular of GPU sag so far?

What's the consensus on the age of the unit since it was manufactured versus the period of time it has actually been in use in a system as presumably the caps and other components can still degrade if the PSU is sitting in a warehouse for a few years before it's purchased and installed? Should...

The Flightstick Pro by CH Products is ambidextrous. It looks pretty basic and has a limited number of buttons but is built like a tank. I've still got the gameport version I bought in 1995 for Wing Commander IV. Whilst not as immersive as a dedicated throttle, the Flightstick Pro has a very...

I purchased mine in 2001 and still use them now. Had an issue with the sub a few years ago but was able to source a replacement off Ebay.

Cheers :D Have you guys been given any steer as to when you'll receive stock? I've seen the 24th September mentioned elsewhere.

Indeed, I think you hit the nail on the head here. To echo what melmac noted, the VR market is still in quite a disruptive phase with a number of new players entering the market (StarVR, Pimax, etc) and converging push and pull pressures from mobile VR and mixed reality. While a lot of the VR...

Thanks for the link. There's probably an element of using this as testbed on the current gen to look at adoption rates and develop the technology further to hopefully include it as a baseline feature in the next gen. I think most agree that Vive Pro is not a true 2.0 product but more of an...

I know what mean about the cost, but at this stage I've invested quite a bit in to my Vive, DAS and a bunch of other accessories that the cost for wireless use seems quite reasonable. I've recently expanded my VR space from about 2.5m squared to 3.5m X 4.5m and use one of those Midwec ceiling...

This article popped up on one of my feeds recently noting that the Vive and Vive Pro wireless adaptors should be available next month from various outlets including OcUk. Just wondering if you guys are planning to sell additional batteries for the setup and when the preorders will be going up?

I don't have that card or the Rift but bookmarked this page in preparation before opting for a Vive. Check out the software setup section under the Room Scale heading. :)

Thanks Dano. :)

I see there's a couple of different versions of Elite on Steam. For someone who's never played Elite before which is the best one to pick up that is VR compatible?

Thanks for the feedback and advice, guys! I have to say this has been the most agonising gaming hardware decision I've had to make in a long time since I've been looking at the Vive and Rift more closely in recent months with a view to buying into VR. Both systems have so many pros and...

Are all the Rift titles on Home also available via Steam or are some being restricted or priced more competitively on Home to encourage purchase there?

With the Black Friday deals announced for both the Vive and Rift I'm looking to make a purchase this weekend but am still bouncing back and forth between the systems. It seems like both platforms are pushing their own digital shop fronts (Viveport and Home?) with exclusives on both sides and a...

Seems like a lot of monitor for the price. Not sure which scaling issues you guys are referring to - I've been using a BenQ 32" 1440p monitor on Windows 10 for the past 2 years without any noticeable scaling problems. IIRC there were issues with early 4k monitors a few years ago. I used to...
