    **** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

    The A380 went into service in 2007 and we still have never had a study level version for any sim, never mind MSFS. For this, and A350, I think it comes down to complexity and probably more importantly availability of documents. B744 is PMDGs domain and they have choosen to bring the 737 and then...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Feel like we might be witnessing a significant moment in russian history, 1905/1917/1991

    ** Diablo 4 Thread **

    Invested far too many hours over the last couple of days. I must say I am very impressed so far. The campaign was a particular surprise kept me really engaged throughout and the big act VI cinematic was incredible. The sheer amount of content is also impressive, still feel like I've barely...

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    Was on the verge of finally investing in a ps5 as was starting to get impatient waiting for the pc ports. However, that showcase completely changed my mind, really surprised by how poor a showing that was.

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (fallen order sequel)

    Thankfully I am able to more or less brute force my way through the performance issues with my specs, however, it is so frustrating that the release has been tarnished by the performance as behind all that (although only 3-4 hours in) there is clearly a fantastic game and experience to be had.

    What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

    I just finished Dredge today. It is brilliant, if not a little short.

    Office Chair vs. Gaming Chair

    Spent a good few years in a variety of different gaming chairs. Decided at the beginning of last year to invest in a brand new HM Aeron remastered as now WFH primarily, best decision of my life. 15 months later and there is a noticable difference in my back health. It is also still spotless and...

    Thinking of going from headphones to gaming headset, have I gone mad?!

    So, I have used sennhesiers of various forms for many a year for pc use, currently have some 595's. However, the last wire I have trailing across my desk is my headphone/mic one and it is starting to annoy me. I know the usual advice is to always buy a good pair of headphones rather a headset...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Thanks for the help appreciate it. Just tried again in shadow of the tomb raider and seems to be a CPU issue. Did a 1080p low settings run and got very similar results. However, now I am looking at 7700x benchmarks for this and my fps seems way off from them so definitely something cpu related.

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    As an exmaple, shadow of the tomb raider benchmark. I am getting ~208fps at 1440p. Looking through reviews most seem to be getting 280fps. Some have slightly more powerful processors (for example 7950x), however, surely I shouldn't expect a a 80fps reduction between these CPU's? CPU utlisation...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Anyone having utlisation issues with their 4090? Had a google elsewhere and there seem to be quite a few people with issues? I am getting nowhere near the benchmarks that reviewers posted across a number of titles but can't understand why. Doesn't appear to be a CPU bottleneck (7700X) as I am...

    *** AMD "Zen 4" thread (inc AM5/APU discussion) ***

    Got my 7700x last week and been doing some testing. At stock my cinebench score seem quite a bit lower than others I have seen, around 18.8k. The CPU is getting nowhere near the 95 limit, seems to top out at 85. This is my first AMD cpu, should I be worried about this :D, seems mad to worry...

    Help! Confused about Zen4 Memory Choice

    Waiting for all my new parts to arrive for my new build apart from memory because I really can’t decide what to do! Do I really need EXPO loaded RAM to be getting the best performance or will XMP alternatives work? There is such a limited choice of EXPO compatable at the moment I can’t find any...

    AMD vs Intel for a 4090 - which one will be best?

    I am in a similar situation, gone for a 7700x to pair with my 4090 for now, will then upgrade to x3d once released.

    I think I got a Asus TUF, maybe, hopefully?

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Okay, seen benchmarks with MSFS using DLSS 3.0, nvidia weren't lying regarding the performance increase. Was going to wait for AMD but going to try and get an FE card tomorrow now based on this

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    5-year fixed due to end in November 23, was on 2%. Going to refix again now I think for another 5 years at 4%, taking into account my erc mortage rates would only need to rise another 0.5-0.75% to make this financially make sense and from what is being said, I guess this will happen easily over...

    *** AMD "Zen 4" thread (inc AM5/APU discussion) ***

    As someone who is building a rig primarily for MSFS, it looks like I am going 5800X3d unless raptor lake has anything to tempt me.
