    Budget Raptor Lake Upgrade Query

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions - I've just realised that my mobo is actually a x370 (I've checked that it can also be BIOS updated), but wouldnt it be a bottleneck (being PCIe Gen3) for a RTX3080 and 5800x3d?

    Budget Raptor Lake Upgrade Query

    I was considering the following for around £600: i5-13600KF ~£350 Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 - ~£130 Kingston FURY Renegade 32GB CL16 (2 x 16GB) 3600MHz DDR4 ~£124 I would have thought that my current mobo (Gigabyte x470 Gaming 7) would be too old now (5 years) to make use of a more modern...

    Budget Raptor Lake Upgrade Query

    Fair comment but I've decided with upgrading I fancy a change from amd and the 13600k looked impressive so curious what people may suggest

    Budget Raptor Lake Upgrade Query

    Currently running an original 1st gen ryzen 1600x since 2017 and nvidia 1080. I've since upgraded the gfx to a rtx 3080 fe and an ultrawide monitor but am looking to upgrade the cpu to match and have my eye on the i5 13600k since it seems to have been well rated. My question is tho I'm not sure...

    Buying a used XB271HU, need advice

    I built the rig in my sig just the other week and was looking for a monitor upgrade as well. I'm coming from a 24" BenQ 60hz TN panel that cost £120 about 3 years ago lol! The previous monitor to that used to be a Dell 2405fw or suchlike and that was the one which blew me away all those years...

    Is GSync important?

    People say its buttery smooth but tbh I don't get it... not sure if I'm missing the hype about it.... (currently using a Acer Predator 27" 144hz Gsync TN Panel)

    Buying a used XB271HU, need advice

    To be honest, I'm kinda against paying an extra £100 for the ASUS TN when it's the same panel as the Acer and it looks like you're only paying extra for the branding?

    Acer Predator XB271HUA

    Can anyone tell me what settings they use please? I'm experiencing ghosting and thought that going for the TN from the IPS version would help negate it. The settings I'm using so far are: 144hz G Sync On Nvidia Panel VSync On Global (In-Game Vsync Off) OD Normal (although I can't tell the...

    Buying a used XB271HU, need advice

    Appreciate the input guys - The TN arrived the other day and my thoughts: - Initial impressions were that it looked OK out of the box, no dead pixels - I didn't mind the difference in colour reproduction to IPS (IPS deffo had colours 'pop' and had vibrance but I couldn't see how it would...

    Buying a used XB271HU, need advice

    I've pulled the trigger on the TN version of the panel so I can do a comparison between the IPS and TN versions as however much of a nice monitor the IPS is, if I'm not 110% happy with it then I can't justify the £600 price tag. Just hoping I don't notice the ghosting on the TN version as much...

    What was your opinion on ghosting? I've got mild ghosting on the ips so was thinking of swapping for the TN version

    Acer Predator XB271HUA

    Can anyone tell me what these are like please? I've been underwhelmed with the IPS version of this monitor and am hoping the TN version is better with regards to ghosting/response times. With the IPS version, I am getting ghosting whilst playing FPS and I feel the £600 price tag is not...

    Buying a used XB271HU, need advice

    I'm considering returning my Predator XB271HU after feeling underwhelmed by it. I've ordered the TN version of the model to compare and see if the IPS warrants the £100 premium over the TN version which at this point I doubt. I've gone from a 24" BenQ 60hz and the screen is nice but dont think...

    FPS and 144hz (mebbe a lil G Sync too thrown in) Query

    So after some investigation I decided to plop for the Acer Predator XB271HU which I uboxed the other evening and have a query about.... What FPS should I be aiming for to take advantage of the 144hz and G Sync? Naturally with a new rig/gfx card (GTX 1080/See Sig), I simply turned everything up...

    Acer Predator XB271HU. Possible to get a good one?

    I've just purchased one the other day and unboxed it last night - seems ok. Not played on it yet so not had any OMG it's amazeballs reaction to it - quick question re: g-sync - do you need to set it on the monitor or does it come on by default? I've right clicked on the desktop and went to the...
