    For 4K gaming what do I need to upgrade?

    I will put my hands up and admit that I have no experience of streaming whilst gaming..... .....but I do know the difference that a CPU upgrade makes to 4K gaming, and that difference is NOT VERY MUCH. 4K gaming is GPU bound at this point in time, with even the monstrously expensive 2080 Ti...

    4K Monitor Advice - 1080p gaming on a 4k screen?

    It's not common, but there are certainly a good handful of games out there that will not run at 60fps on a 2080ti, unless many compromises are made.....and what about a year or two down the line? 4K maxxed out gamers will have to fork out another £1500 on the next price gouging Nvidia ti. If...

    4K Monitor Advice - 1080p gaming on a 4k screen?

    WRONG! I have just taken the plunge on a good 4K gaming TV, and I can tell, whilst the few games I can run at a solid maxed 4K at 60fps with my RTX 2080, look a lot nicer than they did running at 1080p on my old screen, the games I have to run at 1080p on the 4K screen, look considerably worse...

    OcUK and their cherry picked 'pre-binned' CPUs?

    Thankyou gentlemen. I think I have heard all I need to hear!

    OcUK and their cherry picked 'pre-binned' CPUs?

    Having looked at the reviews and benchmarks for the new 6 core 8700K, I am thinking now, or sometime in the not too distant future might finally be a good time to upgrade my ageing, but still perfectly capable i7 2600K. I notice that the magnanimous chaps at OcUK, offer 'pre binned' CPUs...

    Is it time to upgrade?

    'Something better'? You mean a GTX 1080? Selling a card that cost 600 GBP not that long ago in order to buy a card that costs over 700 GBP and offers marginal performance improvements over the card he already has? That is an unfortunate CPU to own. Just one tick down the line, and he...

    i7 7700k Kaby Lake Review

    What AMD demonstrated, will be Ryzen's very best performance against Intel. If the following article can be taken at face value: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/55544/amds-next-gen-ryzen-benched-against-7700k-6900k/index.html Then it would seem that Ryzen with it's 8 cores and 16 threads...

    Will this build play games on max settings?

    Yep.....at 1080p, it will play most, but by no means all PC games maxed out at a solid 60FPS....GTX 1070 would be required to safely max out all games at 1080p for the time being at least.

    Please recomend a case for this bundle

    Is that not on the 28th Dec? (I alerted a friend to this)

    Budget gaming PC Base unit, help needed....

    You would be able to build a great little cheap general purpose PC for less than £400.....to which a mainstream graphics card could be added at some point down the line. I built this very PC some time ago for a friend. I done it back then for around 300 GBP, but as has been mentioned, the GBP...

    *** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

    yep....seems that many here have forgotten about all the Bulldozer pre-launch hype and all the benches showing out it either matched or beat the i7 2600K..........only for it to turn out to be a big steaming dog ****, although it did take some while before the fact that Bulldozer was a big...

    *** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

    remember this: http://wccftech.com/official-amd-bulldozer-fxzambezi-benchmark-slides-leaked-performance-pricing-detailed/ If AMD really have a game changer, they had to do so much more to prove as far as I am concerned....a couple of cherry picked benchmarks and game demonstrations that would...

    *** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

    Speaking as someone who held off on going for a Sandybridge i7 2600K, (a CPU I still have), until Bulldozer was released, only to have my hopes based upon 'promising' pre release blarb dashed by actual hands on benchmarks and reviews..... .......what is so different this time around? I am...

    CPU advice

    Yep....I fell into that Faster Dual Core > Slower Quad Core trap as well....made sense to anyone who changed their CPU around every 6 months perhaps.... ....likewise, when I bought my current PC base (2600K + 8GB Ram), 8Gb RAM was 'pointless', but these days 8GB is bare minimum for decent...

    *** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

    Remind me, what happened with the Fury X presentation? I am doing a build for a friend, who was going to opt for an i5 6600K, but I advised him to wait on Zen and therefore, I am waiting on this presentation with much anticipation. Naturally, I expect what AMD allow to be shown and...

    So, back into PC gaming after 10+ years... (settings help!)

    Yep. Thank the consoles for the relative ease of modern PC gaming and if anyone doesn't believe me, then just look at PC exclusive games like Arma III and how inefficient use that makes of your hardware. All PC games used to be like this but since the consoles came to power, most games tend to...

    Bioshock: The Collection - HD Remastered

    Amazing games the first 2 Bioshocks, with keyboard and mouse. Not so good with the gamepad as the default bindings were utterly retarded and counter intuitive and as always, they couldn't be changed around. I only game sitting back comfortably with gamepad these days as repetitive strain injury...

    *****PES 2017 - Official "KONAMI ARE IDIOTS" Thread*****

    Denovo!? FFS! I rely on the cracks in order that I can play Pro Evo on my laptop WITHOUT an internet connection. A thousand venomous curses on Konami! Konami must really hate it's PC customers....as though the strategy is to push as many of us onto the console version of the game as possible...
