    AMD R5 4500 'waste of AMDs reputation and credibility'

    Performing worse than a 2700X seems odd, if this is base on Zen 2 architecture I would be expecting 3600 results! That price makes no sense either, given it performs worse than a 3600 at a price point almost matching the 3600 during the last year it was on sale.

    G/C for 2560x1440 ~£100

    I play at 2560*1440 with a 1660 Super. For playing older games & new well optimized games it works perfectly fine. I'm talking AOE2, Alien Isolation, Doom Eternal etc. Framerate a steady min 60fps with settings altered. Low end graphical power hasn't changed much over the years and unfortunatley...

    Option from the low end of the graphics card market?

    At 1080P with a 60Hz monitor and the games you listed, you could pretty much get by with intergrated graphics. Unfortunatley the low end is incredibly stagnant, with both Nvidias and AMD's previous generation of cards too expensive really for their performance. (looking at you 1650 & 5500). Get...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    I'm not surprised at all by these prices. Since Lisa Su has taken over AMD has headed towards a 'premium' product price that Intel & Nvidia charges. AMD has previousily offered good products at lower prices than Nvidia (the 480 & 580 for example) yet still gets absolutley shredded in terms of...

    3070 prices creeping up daily...

    Quickly skimming through the reviews & the charts. Seems to be a case of between the 2080 Super & 2080ti with it being closer to either depending on the game & resolution. To me that's alright, but not great. Excluding Turing architecturally we've seen the *70 series of cards match or just beat...

    AMD Navi 23 ‘NVIDIA Killer’ GPU Rumored to Support Hardware Ray Tracing, Coming Next Year

    I think actual performance will depend very heavily on its performance per watt ability, and I suspect thats one of the reasons why we didn't see a higher model than the 5700XT when it was released, because even on 7nm the performance per watt compared to turing was poor. This time Nvidia have...

    Simple 3070 newbie query

    They aren't released yet so won't know anything about their performance until they do, and then expect it to take 1-2 months for any deliverys to arrive.

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    I'm loving these threads just to read some of the nuttier replies :D I feel very sorry for the mods though, you have people using this thread as if it was official ocuk information rather than the customer service area

    What to expect from AMD on October 8th?

    The biggest threat to the enthusiast is AMD doing an Intel, and settling for minor changes as the competition isn't competitive, Intel won't be competitive until they transition fully to 10 and 7nm process node. AMD could quite easily spend their time now focusing on improving graphics and...

    What to expect from AMD on October 8th?

    I'll be interested to see how they segment the CPUs, given we are still one of the various 7nm nodes so I'm not expecting much greater increases in node density. They could still do 6, 8 and 12 core CPU's, I think that's highly likely. But there also the potential to bring the core counts up...

    Upgrade from i7 3770 1080p gaming.

    Should do, they'll have had more than a few weeks to build up stock and don't need to rush for a release. Availability of Zen2 was pretty good, different SKUs may have individual launch dates though.

    Small ATX Case Suggestions

    By small do you mean overall volume or any of the specific dimensions. For example my Fractal Define C (same chassis as the meshify c) is overall volume pretty small for an atx case (check it's dimensions) with little on the way of vertical clearances. However cases like the 011 Dynamic are...

    With all this new graphics power coming from Red and Green.....

    I've felt this for a while too. I upgraded to a 1440p 144hz monitor and sidegraded my GPU to a 1660S from a 980TI (wanted freesync compatibility). My most recent AAA title is Doom Eternal and it runs absolutely fine. My absolute favourite graphical scenes from any game comes from Alien...

    Poll: Will you be ditching Ryzen 3000 for Ryzen 4000?

    Nah because the 4000 series won't arrive until 2022, the 4600 will start off at £335 and won't support XMP I mean your asking people if they're going to buy a line of chips that hasn't been released with no released details on the desktop architecture

    1660 super now or wait?

    That's a good price for a 1660 super, there's no indication yet on a release date for the next series of nivida GPUs, and the lower end products could be delayed or price hiked. If you feel you need the performance now then get it, if your happy to continue with a 7950 then wait, but you could...

    Another day, another broken Intel process node: Intel announces 7nm will be delayed

    While they'll continue to get good and possibly increased performance per core from 14nm, the die sizes (creating yield, manufacturability and cost issues) will leave AMD with an easy goal to score. If Intel are forced to keep desktop parts on 14nm for longer than expected then AMD can increase...

    Fractal cases

    The define c is more like a smaller r6 than r7, the r7 is much more modern than the c. I've got the c as it was one of the smallest ATX cases I could find. It's great if you don't need much space for a cooler or drives. It can run 2x 2.5inch drives attached to the motherboard tray and 2x 3.5inch...

    AMD Zen 2 (Refresh) 3900XT/3800XT/3600XT

    This makes sense against the rumours than Zen 3 has been delayed for a full launch until 2021. @Jamin280672 you say that but when Zen launched originally, the first SKU was the 1800X

    NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

    I would say you've been super lucky in that case, I've had far worse issues with Nvidia drivers than with AMD.
