Keeping the 3070. You can play this waiting game forever lol.

I ordered a 3070, is it worth just cancelling and waiting now instead? Do you think I'll be able to get a 4080 for £800-£900 in July?

Yes as it really adds something to a few of the demos I've seen. Someone else gave the example of reflections in office windows in Control. It's one of those things I didn't realise was missing until I'd seen it. However, I still feel the technology is a bit of a bust this generation as far as...

I've never played anything with RT, but from what I've seen it looks like the most significant graphical improvement for some time. 1440p + 144hz + RT + High/Ultra should be well catered for with the 4000 and 7000 cards. 4k/144hz/RT/High or Ultra might need to wait for the 2024 GPUs. I'm...

Next week should be interesting on the AMD side with the three new cards. I know they'll slot in between the existing cards price wise, but it'll be interesting to see if they create any downward pressure on the 6600 XT 6700XT and 6900XT.

I've had a few times over the last couple weeks where I've been close to buying a new PC for 1440p 144hz and all the associated research on the various components, monitor etc. Then I stop and think, but what will I actually play or do that I can't do now? Plus for the £1500 or so I'm looking to...

Might be off topic, but what makes more purchasing sense over say a 10 year period: 5x 3060 tier performance (2 years) ~ £2,000 4x 3070 tier (2.5 years) ~ £2,200 3x 3080 tier (3 to 3.5 years) ~ £2,300 2x 3090 tier (5 years) ~ £3,500 (time between upgrades) I should probably tweak this so the...

Do we need the new ATX 3.0 power supplies for next gen? When will they be for sale?

Is there an MSRP of this generations cards anywhere, in GBP? I'm curious how bad the gouging is still as I know prices have come down greatly in the last three months. For example what's a 6700 XT MSRP? Currently the cheapest is ~£550, but at 2-3 steps from the top of the range, isn't it a...

I'm running my GTX 970 still. The £299 6600 looked decent, but I've got a bit more money these days and can probably go for a £600-750 range, so I'm thinking of waiting on the 4000 series rather than get a current gen this late in the game. In fact I need a complete new build as I'm on an...

The fix in the other thread works for the time being. Uninstalled 3d surround / nvidia audio drivers and put the game to dx9. It's bloody annoying, I have to say. Also, is anyone having problems with VLC screen tearing, and also on firefox/flash videos? Can't seem to fix it no matter what...

My msi 970 crashes on WoW too. 344.16. Everything else seems fine. Had 1 crash in arkham city over the course of 20+ hours play, but other than it's ok. I do have ocassional artifacts in firefox though. The browser bar at the top sometimes distorts. There's a big update on wow next week, maybe...

You need to link your shop account to the forum one. There's a box in the shop account page bit to enter the forum info.

Keep the time of order + amount paid handy. Surely they will be able to line it up on their records when they investigate money coming in from paypal.

Log in to your main overclockers account, select you and your account, then there's a box to link it to your forums account. I think that gives you access.

Yeah easily. 72fps vs 48fps on Crysis 3 @ 1080 from what I saw.

I bought the MSI 970 too.

The fuss is that there are thousands of gamers like myself who have been sitting on average cards or only upgrade every 2-3 years finally ready to upgrade, and the 970 in particular is an amazing deal, especially since we can knock off the cost of not needing to buy a new power supply. That's...
