Hey, I apologise if this is the wrong forum, please feel free to move it. I'm trying to get to the bottom of a particular problem that occurs in various games in that, when the game transitions between zones, scenes or sometimes in combat the game will free for a moment (between 3-8 seconds...

I’ve made the video public, sorry.

So, recently I've noticed my PC stuttering when gaming, these are freezes in the game that can last anywhere from a millisecond to 30 seconds (in the worst cases). I've noticed this is now happening more and more and I've been trying to capture this occurrence to find out what's causing it. I...

I'll give it a go and see how I get on. My current cooler for my CPU is the Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E. It's a beefy cooler but I'm not sure if it's good for overclocking.

Thanks for taking the time to cover the subject for me, it's a fantastic chunk of info and quick and to the point :) I always knew they were expensive but as someone who's been out of the PC building game for a while I didn't realise just what was going on or that AMD were advancing this fast...

Indeed RAM has shot up again in price, not sure why. What is next for Intel or is the i9 where it's at right now? Intel is my preferred brand to be honest, I've had AMD in the past and I wasn't a fan, I realise, however, that there is cost saving there as Intel costs more.

I've put about 5 hours into this game having had it via my Origins Premium sub, sadly I just don't like it. It's gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but feels incredibly broken. Having had to slap it onto my SSD just to reduce the load times which were then rendering me out of mission zone, the...

I’ve asked this before but I’m going to ask again as my original question was over a year ago. I’m at a point where I need to consider if I should be trying to ramp up what I have via overclocking and RAM upgrades or investing in new kit. I use my pc for gaming mostly and VR with an Oculus...

I recently asked for some advice on my pc build in the relative part of the forum and the consensus was that I should consider keeping my current system and beefing up my CPU. This lead me on a path to seek out performance upgrades for my hard drives as well and whilst shopping for SATA SSD...

Hello everyone, Ok so I started to look at my current rig of which certain items are reaching the end of their life. It's got plenty of poke for the likes of Overwatch on 'Ultra' settings but struggles with any settings above 'Medium' in Elite Dangerous which I play using an Oculus Rift CV1...

Hello there, I recently built my new rig and I want to install VirtuMVP but it keeps throwing up and error saying no integrated graphics found. Some research showed that people have had to switch on igpu or something similar. I have a Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 motherboard and I can't find...

Thank you for all the help chaps. I really appreciate it.

Hello everyone, Just an update for you. I went with the advice in this thread and opted to purchase the following kit which arrived today :) 1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor. 1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard. 1 x...

Now that is nice. :D

Sorry I meant i5 :) Thanks for the comparison chart that's a handy tool to use. Hmm not sure about the gfx, I don't like ATI, I had a bad experience with them in the past.

So do you think I'm being a little hasty by saying I need to upgrade everything? I would like to run GW2 a lot higher than I am but comfortably for my PC and I can't do that at the moment. Should I be investing in a better GFX or should I consider another 460 and run them SLI? Would I see any...

Hey I think my GPU is 2gb however I'm not sure I thought it was 1gb. Here is the DXDiag info on my car and display. Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SE Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce GTX 460 SE DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device Key...

Hiya, thanks for your reply. My PSU is a corsair 600watt unit :)

Woops I forgot my graphics card. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SE

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on CPU, Motherboard and Graphics Card for a new gaming machine. My current system is getting old and I have started playing Guild Wars 2 which I would love to have on full settings but I get a really appalling frame rate on it most of the time...
