On my second playthrough after spending about 130 hours when the game originally released. As a senior gamer, my memory has gone to pot :p, I have only vague recollections of the plot from my original playthrough. In some ways that is a good thing as I'm really savouring every moment of the...

I've said to myself I don't need one of these, but after reading the last few pages of this thread I caved in and got the 512gb version :D Looking forward to playing some Snowrunner and PGA Tour Golf.

52 here, still a big fan of gaming. I recently played through AC Valhalla, my first experience of the franchise. I liked the setting a lot, although the game got quite repetitive and grindy I stuck with it. I've just started AC Odyssey, Snowrunner Season 8 and Pga Tour 2K23 on my living room PC...

@Quartz, thanks, I really didn't fancy taking everything apart again to send the motherboard back. Yes I read that about trying a USB 2 port first, but obviously no dice from that either. I also have a mini ITX system which I'm thinking of upgrading next, so this experience has not been a total...

Thanks! I feel even more silly now. After ordering the new RAM, I noticed no XMP profile was set for my old RAM in the BIOS. I set the XMP profile and it worked straight away. I find it very odd that leaving the RAM at stock 2133Mhz would cause these problems. I don't remember any of this faff...

Thought I would update this after another 2 days of heartache...I reseated the nvme drive and ran a diagnostic from the BIOS which passed ok. However, still no fix for my problem. I tried installing to an ordinary SSD and that resulted in the same installation error. I tried numerous different...

Hi all, I recently swapped out my Aorus X370 for the just released MSI Tomahawk X570S with a Ryzen 5 5600x. I've been trying all day to install Windows via a USB key onto a WD SN850 Nvme Drive (PCIe4). I'm using a 16GB USB key that came with my motherboard and have it prepared using the Windows...

Thanks for the replies guys. @turbot1984 I'm in Ireland so would have to pay additional taxes on that sadly.

Hey all, I've had my main gaming PC about 3 and a half years now and would fancy an upgrade. I use it mostly for sim racing and occasionally ARMA3. I would like to keep as much of my existing rig as possible to keep costs down. I currently have an i5-8600K @ 4.8Ghz and an Aorus Ultra Gaming Z370...

Yes I tried to like it too but gave up, maybe it's my old age but I was really struggling to aim shots properly with my controller. Perhaps mouse/keyboard is a better option?

First home computer was a pre-owned Vic-20, it came with a couple of games including some on cartridge! Gorf I think was the name of a space shooter. I remember buying a game that looked like a flight simulator (IFR?), but there was no cockpit view at all, only a HUD with text lol. First home...

I've probably put the most time into these recently: Witcher 3 Kingdom Come Deliverance RDR2 Snowrunner Assetto Corsa Competizione Honourable mentions to: Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain Skyrim Borderlands The Pre-Sequel Raceroom racing experience F1 2010 (just outside the 10 year period...

I bought this at launch and currently 180 hours in (also have the all the latest DLC)....sometimes the game gets very grindy and frustrating but I still love it. I'm tempted to look at some of the mods as I will never get to finish all the missions at the pace I'm playing.

Yep, owned all the series (Spintires->Mudrunner->Snowrunner), if you are new to the series Snowrunner is definitely a slow burner but lots of fun to be had getting stuck and hauling supplies around. The main criticism I have is the world can feel very empty at times with no AI (I'm an old gamer...

No popping (yet) on my 11 week old G9 N8 model - how long have you had yours? I have the scanline problem across the top of my screen (240Hz, not sure about other resolutions). It doesn't bother me at all as I just use this monitor for gaming only and they really are only visible on the desktop.

I believe so. I'm open to correction on this, but 30A on a 12v rail would support a max power draw of 360W, not all of which can be shoved down a single cable, so it sounds like you are doing the right thing. Some other useful numbers: a daisy chain PCI-E provides 288W, a dedicated one does 150W...

Interesting thanks...My system is 100% stable the last few days, I'll probably try undervolting to keep power consumption and temps down. I'm definitely not risking the OC bios on my 3080 which pushes the power consumption up by another 50-60W.

I've a similar rig to yours OP (8600k @ 4.8Ghz, 3080 ftw ultra) and I'm running a Seasonic Titanium PX 750W. You have me a little worried now with those figures. Are you running three separate cables from your PSU to your GPU? I'm not, but I don't think it makes a difference as my PSU is single...

Mine is an N8, no popping sounds at all. I do have horizontal scan lines, which are mainly visible across browser tabs. They don't bother me though as I just use my monitor for sim racing.

I've tried it with F1 2020 as it is an officially supported title and the eye tracking works almost perfectly out to the very edges of the monitor (I find I don't need to look to the extreme edges). One issue you might have is with distance - you need to sit 1m back from the G49 and the eye...
