    Spec me a GPU - Either new or 2nd hand.

    Thanks for your reply. The budget is not a problem as such. I have the means to buy the top of the line cards that are available out there right now. Its more of a question of 'do i really need to spend £400+ for my use'. I totally get where you're coming from though. I have been looking at...

    Can I Do This -Discrete & Integrated Graphics?

    Don't worry, I found out what Zerocore is. I think I will stick with the HD7950 for now, 1080p shouldn't tax the CPU and GPU too much. I can always overclock the GPU for extra gains should I need it.

    Can I Do This -Discrete & Integrated Graphics?

    Whats Zerocore? Power consumption is not a major concern, just trying to 'conserve' where I can but its not a big deal. New card is a possibility, however I did say in a previous monitor thread I didn't plan to upgrade because I wasn't a big gamer. I play only racing games so Project Cars and F1...

    Do i need to upgrade my GFX card?

    Thank you for the reply. I will probably go the over clocking route to increase performance should I need to. The card is water cooled as is the CPU so i'm sure I could get some more oomph out of it.

    The Celeron & Atom CPUS...

    Been looking at the acer aspire switch and all its variables, seems to be a bit marmite. Also had a look at some refurbished lenovo thinkpads but they seem way too chunky to be carrying about in my bag. I just need something to see me through for 6 months or so.
