    Spending £100-150, looking at 1070ti/1080ti - can I do equivalent performance new?

    Okay buddies I have arrived at some conclusions on the basis of budget. But - bearing in mind I’m upgrading a GPU here - what would be the most GPU it would be reasonable to pair with a 6700K? I am fairly confident the 1070ti level isn’t twiddling its thumbs waiting for the CPU, but how high...

    The Intel Arc owners thread

    Having a cursory glance at stuff like userbenchmark.com it seems like ARC is worth considering from a low-end price - performance perspective. But is there anything it is particularly bad at? I read all sorts of bad things about drivers etc but I don't know how out of date this info is.

    Spending £100-150, looking at 1070ti/1080ti - can I do equivalent performance new?

    I feel you buddy, thank you. Understood on all counts mate thank you. Going down this rabbit hole of modern parts selection (I have recently got a desk at home for the first time in ages and am putting my old PC back into service) I am in two minds now about the merits of upgrading vs...

    Faulty hdmi port can I use display port adaptor

    It should definitely 'work' mate but you might find that the featureset is altered as compared to HDMI (eg restricted refresh rates/the passing of audio etc)

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    I always aspire to make like 'nice' notebooks instead of just scribbled scraps of paper everywhere and surely there is no better recipe than spending money on something. This is a rotring 600 mechanical pencil, it feels real nice and hefty in the hand and will surely transform my diagramming and...

    Spending £100-150, looking at 1070ti/1080ti - can I do equivalent performance new?

    As per the subject really, if I am putting this in a system that's currently got a 970 inside and I am nervous about buying 2nd hand, is there anything I can buy new that comes close to the performance of a 1070ti/1080ti? Thank you all.

    Show Us Your Motors!

    Thank you all for the nice Quad comments! @Mekrel @Gibbo I am fairly familiar with this on the strength of its long thread on Alfa owner forum. Steering wheel lock if it’s parked for any length of time in a car park, garaged at night, if they still get it hey, it’s insured. And I am a rims guy...

    Show Us Your Motors!

    Bought this sucker in the most stress-free car buying experience of my life (not sure if calling out the dealer is cricket but it is noteworthy since Alfa's dealer network isn't highly thought of). There was one available car in the country that met my search criteria, so from Sheffield I did 30...

    replacing home broadband with a 4g router?

    I have tried this for a while mate in favour of my up-and-down-like-a-tarts-knickers BT FTTC (18-5 against a quoted minimum of 25-5 and endless visits from openreach), but ultimately sacked it off and went back to the hardwire. Obviously YMMV very much applies because of the vagaries of where...

    Cheap, Rackmount PoE Switch

    Its not the same model mate but I've made my loud HP something-or-other PoE silent with a Noctua fan swapout.

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    Great answer again Avalon thank you very much. There’s a lot written about VM on this forum and others, most of it negative as you’d expect (the happy customers don’t need the forums) which is all it takes to make you nervous. Will update with my experiences after next week, thank you again :)

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    That’s sound mate thank you. I do have such a route in mind but will put a cable draw in beforehand - hopefully they’ll be agreeable to using it with me. If not I’d quite understand and sort it myself later. Do you reckon they’ll leave off the phone socket if I ask nice? I only put it on because...

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    I’ve got VM coming next week and I want to be well prepared for what they’re going to want to put where, so I can make my install as neat as possible. I’m having broadband plus phone (don’t want the phone tbh, but it was cheaper to have it). So can someone correct the following routing...

    VDSL / BT Infinity Questions

    Down at that speed you likely have interleaving on which will wreak havoc with latency. Your connections sounds a lot like mine that I recently gave up trying to fix and cancelled the circuit. I know that might not be an option for you so you’ve got my sympathies.

    Squeeky bum passport expiry! (Geneva)

    Thanks all for your help - in the end I bottled it and took half a day to go to Liverpool. The whole process is pretty nerve-wracking in terms of self-validating the correctness of your form, but in the end the lady I saw at the desk only needed about 60 seconds to sign everything off - came...
