    £2.69999K for a 3090? WTF

    I just think its disgusting to be in this position in the first place. Why go to all the trouble to do such a public launch and talk up such graphics improvements available with the new gen cards, and then have next to none available to purchase. So much so that it inflates the prices to double...

    £2.69999K for a 3090? WTF

    I've got to be honest. I think its farcical that these major releases take place getting everyone excited and then 3 months later, hardly anyone has these cards and they are selling so much more than originally priced. For the love of gaming, we are talking about a graphics card to provide...

    Big decision, Help!!

    So I was fortunate enough to bag a 6900xt today but as I wasn’t sure of it going through I also bagged a 3080. The question is which one do I keep and therefore which do I return? gaming at 1440p, no interest in moving to 4K although its a 165hz screen. Secondly I have an intel 10700 cpu and no...

    NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti to launch in January 2021?

    I don't know about you guys but I'm just really confused as to what to upgrade to now. Initially on the bandwagon for a 3080 but contemplating a 3090. After witnessing the disastrous launch, and the serious lack of stock issues effecting all Nvidia card producers I resisted pre-ordering...

    New Upgrade, Acceptable Temperatures?

    Another thing to note is that i'm using the NZXT CAM software which I've heard may be misreporting the temps.. anyone suggest anything else which may give more reliable information?

    New Upgrade, Acceptable Temperatures?

    Hey All, I have recently at long last upgraded my system to an i7 10700K with a decent mother board and RAM, plus added watercooling to both my graphics card (EVGA 2080 Black) and CPU in the form of an NZXT x72 for the CPU and my older Zalman Liquid cooling all in one on the GPU using a the...

    GA-Z97X-SOC Reboot just 1st time after 10 mins or so, help!

    Good Morning All, First off, have had my rig now for about 5 years and it has been working absolutely fine. Recently it has started automatically rebooting just once, after about 10 minutes or so as if someones cut the power. When it does reboot it goes straight into BIOS and states there was...

    Upgrade advice please

    I do have the K version actually, but for some reason whenever I overclock the CPU, even slightly it becomes unstable. Maybe I was just unlucky with my previous purchase :( Saying that though, I have raised it this morning following a complete reset of the BIOS and I seem to be comfortably...

    Upgrade advice please

    Actually no they are not. Assassins Creed for example gets around 40-50 fps @ 1440p with ultra settings, and I get similar from most other games too. Its important to note that I have a new monitor with HDR400 and 165Hz which has really highlighted the FPS challenge, and why I am seriously...

    Upgrade advice please

    Current system is about 5 years old now running a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SOC motherboard with 16GB of 2400Mhz DDR2 Ram and an I7 4770. Recently upgraded my graphics card to RTX 2080 so not looking to change that one. System is mainly used for gaming at 1440p and I want something that is going to push...

    Really Noisy Graphics Card. Options Please?

    So when you say easy, was it all you needed or did you need buy any other heatsinks or other items for the VRAM etc.

    Really Noisy Graphics Card. Options Please?

    Hello to all you well knowledgeable, seasoned modders and PC enthusiasts. I have been successfully gaming with a rig I put together some while ago now consisting of an I7-4770K, 16GB of RAM and a relatively new RTX 2080 graphics card which has done me well, gaming without issue at 1440p...

    Time for an Upgrade - Advice Please

    Thanks for your feedback. The one thing I do want to address which I didn't put in my original post, what that I want to get some M.2 SSD's as I believe that this is one of my bottlenecks and my current motherboard doesnt support them as its to old.

    Time for an Upgrade - Advice Please

    I have had my rig now as it stands for about 2 years with the processor and motherboard for about 5 and i'm starting to get that upgrade itch. I have an i7 4770K with a Gigabye OC motherboard (cant remember the exact model) but I was thinking about giving AMD a go an looking to get the Ryzen...

    Its that time again (Update advise please!)

    How can you tell if your CPU is bottle-necking? I think in the first instance I may buy the cooler and then have a try at overclocking. Once some more reviews and feedback come in to support the 2080's I'll make a decision about those. Sounds for the most of it though that the...

    Its that time again (Update advise please!)

    its not just RT, my thoughts are that if you are going to upgrade, get the latest as you will get more mileage out of it. Given the 2080's are based on Tensor cores, and they are pretty new. Once developers start to harness these as opposed to CUDA we should see some serious performance...

    Its that time again (Update advise please!)

    I was thinking about getting a new cooler anyway, and might invest in this to accommodate some overclocking (although doing that sort of thing is definitely not my forte): https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml240r-addressable-rgb-cpu-cooler-240mnm-hs-07v-cm.html Plus I...
