    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Guys - so I was thinking of pushing the boat out and snagging a 4080/4090 on a new PC price be damned etc. but then when picking a motherboard I learned about pcie gen 4/5 and boards are now putting in pcie gen 5 slots for graphics cards but the 4080 and 4090 are only gen 4... So now I'm...

    Question about Vesa Adaptive Sync

    Wow thanks for all the info. With the already existing 3 types of Freesyncs and 3 types of G-Syncs, not forgetting our humble V-Sync I can see why yet another certification scheme, AdaptiveSync isn't helping the consumer much. There'll be more stickers on monitor boxes than a student's backpack...

    Question about Vesa Adaptive Sync

    So as I understand it, with (proper) G-Sync a proprietary module/chip is embedded into a monitor which synchronises frames with an Nvidia graphics card. Is adaptive sync doing the same thing? in other words are monitor manufacturers including similar hardware chips/modules (obviously...

    Who is "struggling" to play a PC game?

    Games are too easy these days. They're flat/linear making it easier to aim with some games even having aim assist! What's the point of that? Couple that with endless cut scenes and it's like wandering through a movie. There needs to be a challenge. Try re-visiting one of those games you quit...

    No Man's Sky - Procedural space game

    I like the little jump you can do between balconies in space stations now and the fat-suit option is hilarious. This is in experimental at the moment.

    Warframe... Anyone on here play?

    Best game out there at the moment and it's free and not play to win. Yes it's complex and you won't know what you're doing for ages but fear not because that is normal. The depth is huge with much to do and explore. I'm 1200 hours in and level 19 of 25 and I still have questions every day and...

    More women freezing eggs due to "unreliable men"

    If you went to do a parachute jump and discovered there was only a 40% chance it would open would you still do it? When kids are asked what they want to be when they grow up boys never say they want to bave kids. Women can noww retire and be looked after by the state if they get pregnant. If...

    No Mans Sky - NEXT

    I got it a year ago when on sale and there had been some updates. It was ok and I got 300 hours out of it so well worth the money. I don't see how multiplayer will make it better though. Once you have your 6 ships, a base, space cruiser and a farm you're done. There is nothing left to do or work...
