    What is your upper limit for your next GPU purchase

    £500 this time round. Not sure how this £500 GPU category will compete with the new consoles. I think the smart money is on the new consoles for the next couple of years to be honest.

    The Radeon RX 5700 XT Owners Thread.

    @Panos Yes using AMD XConnect Technology. Using my Dell XPS 15 - 9560. (DDU the internal NVidia 1050.) Thunderbolt 3 to the enclosure then displayport to my Asus MG279 with range 30 to 90 Hz Freesync. Works like a charm but not sure about using the USB on the enclosure yet as the laptop...

    The Radeon VII Owners Thread

    @Illuminist, Yes. Feels like a different card whenever I use it. I was using 19.3.x drivers so maybe it's better with the latest?

    The Radeon VII Owners Thread

    @Illuminist, unfortunately I'm not with the box this week, but from memory I was taking the voltage to 1180mv. One thing I noticed that using the boost would make it unstable with any overclock above 2050 on core 1200 hbm, so I left that at zero. By default my voltage pre mod was approx 1075mv...

    The Radeon VII Owners Thread

    I got my VII under water last weekend (EK block came instead of the haribo order from OC, thanks) and saw a drop between 30 to 50 C from its core temps although pushing it with an overclock approaching 2200 core, 1200 hbm I saw the JT breach 100C. This is nowhere near the 114C peak I saw a lot...

    GPU prices go boom

    Not sure why you're so disrespectful so I'll leave it at that as you have nothing to add to my counter arguments above. Have a good weekend.

    GPU prices go boom

    Hmm not sure of your argument here. Your 1 and 2 points above seem to be contradictory. I'll quote from the article: "Gamers who want to trade in their games will receive 25% of what they payed for them, a figure that isn’t out of line with the return on physical games at places like Gamestop...

    GPU prices go boom

    +1 This crypto looks quite disruptive: http://www.cgmagonline.com/2018/01/17/video-game-cryptocurrency-service-announced/ and as mentioned before not all crypto needs to be mined

    The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

    After deciding against the Eiswolf (gone to a good home) the EK block was fitted this weekend: https://imgur.com/foJw7om https://imgur.com/e9VSXIH https://imgur.com/NkQQmrZ The Alphacool Eisbar tubing is quite straightforward after some length adjustments. I have some tweaking to do as it's at...

    @Illuminist I've started a conversation with you directly. Have you seen the post?

    The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

    I'm on steam as well but just use it for playing games. Hopefully can do the same. More of a technical exercise for me if it works properly and @Illuminist want's to keep we can sort something from there. (If it doesn't then maybe a refund is possible?) I don't know any of the don's.

    The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

    @Illuminist Not sure. How did you arrange it with Vince? (What's the "Trust" option for?)

    The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

    Ok, sort it with Vince and let me know. At least we'll get to know if his block and pump are faulty.

    The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

    Hi Guys, @Vince : Your probs with the Eiswolf put me off it so I decided on the EK route - not fitted yet. This was not before I had it ordered and delivered though... @Illuminist : If you want to try again with an unused Vega Eiswolf GPX-Pro (no radiator) let me know and we can come to an...

    AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1

    Does anyone think AMD will release a Vega based card that will compete with the NVIDIA 1070 or is it just the 1080 they are aiming for? If AMD are to have similar pricing to the NVIDIA ranges then there's quite a price gap for the current AMD range. Looking at current prices on...
