Thanks all. The reason I asked was because as I was browsing around, looking at what's out I ran across a thread where someone said this is a particularly bad time to upgrade, and he got several posts in agreement. I've looked for the thread, but god knows where it is - I just wanted to make...

I know you can wait a lifetime for the right time to buy, always waiting 'another 6 months', but is there a good reason to hold off upgrading now? I've saved a few quid during lockdown, I want to treat myself and upgrade my venerable 6700k, and have an eye on a 3950X and maybe a GB Aorus Master...

@tamzzy The last AMD cpu I had was a Duron. I don't follow tech like I used to. Years ago I could quote my specs down to memory timings - these days I have to google what socket I'm on. The 3900x is something I will take a look at - thank you :) @wookiee87 Thats brilliant, just the sort of...

Just checked and an I9 9900x is going for £500, the 3950x is £750 - that's a big difference :)

Its upgrade time again :) Usually I upgrade the gpu, then two years later the cpu/mobo/memory, then two years later the gpu again, etc etc, so my hardware is expected to last around four years. I currently have a 6700k (4 years old), and a 1080ti (2 years) - I mention that only so it's apparent...

As soon as I can find a full cover waterblock to fit it, I'll be as happy as a dog with two di ....err happy as Larry :)

Thanks guys. I took the plunge after what you'd said, and am happy to confirm - for anyone else thats looking - that both outputs ARE dual link. I have all three monitors here up and running, 2 DVI's + HDMI :) Thanks once again for all the advice, Steve.

Thanks :) I've just been in touch with gigabyte in MIlton Keynes directly by phone, and they have said that only one of the dvi outputs on the Gigabyte 980TI G1 Gaming is actually dual link - the dvi-i is a single link interface ? Thanks for the offer Rick - I haven't decided to buy the card...

From what I've read (and I may be wrong) theres no such thing as a true DP to dual link cable. There are plenty of cables that let you plug in a DL connector, but unless they have some electronics and some power, they wont put out the dual bandwidth that my monitor needs (I'm only going on what...

I have 3 Hazro IPS monitors that I bought from OC's. Two of them are the older type that only have dual link dvi inputs, nothing else. The third has Display port, dvi etc. I'm planning to buy a 980Ti, and I'm wondering how to connect them to it. Obviously two of them will connect...

Not yet - I was hoping it'd be as easy as a web shop and an order form. :)

Any idea where I can buy new cables for a Seasonic modular PSU in the UK? Thanks

Thank you very much for the advice. Its good to know I cant get a fantastic improvement without spending silly money - it makes it easier to keep the funds in the bank. I always spend £250-300 on the chip, thats the sweet spot to me. It seems like theres usually a cpu in that price range that...

I upgrade every 2 years or so, but this time around I haven't been following the tech and I'm lost. At the mo I have an i7-950 @ 4GHz (D0 20x200) / Asus p6x58d-e / 2x480gtx Its used a lot for video and 3d rendering, not gaming so much. Could I spend £250-£300 on a chip and see a good...

Are the drive recommendations still valid as of the start of December?

The mobo chipset drivers need updating/repairing

Thanks for the info :)

I'm looking for a card that'll let me hook my tv box up to it (via composite or svc) and record straight to my hdd. I don't need a card with its own tuner, or one thats capable of getting radio or any other signal - just purely video capture. Can anyone please point me in the right...

I have an 8800gt, and 2 7800gtx's i bought from new a while back. The 8800 has no video in, but the 7800's do - I can install both cards (the 88 and one 78) and use the 8800 with one monitor, the 7800 with another, no problems there. No matter what i do tho, i cant get the 7800 to take a...
