The early Bandits are excellent value for money, and renowned for reliability as they are based on proven parts in a relatively mild state of tune. They still look good, and although sometimes the victim of too much tinkering by owners, they are easily reverted to stock if that's your...

It seems just to have been bad luck on the OP's part to meet that driver at that time. As a biker I tend to hang back in the queue in such situations - I filter where I can, but avoid doing something that will bring me across from one side to the other like this simply because you're very much...

I knew they were efficient cards, but I didn't realise the power draw would be that low!

I'm hoping it will be a noticeable upgrade, especially when I choose a new monitor. I was looking to change my motorcycle, encouraged by the other half as, in her words, "there's no point working rubbish shifts if you don't spend some of what you earn on yourself". I was disgusted at the prices...

Thanks for all the advice, I've just ordered a 1070Ti Founders Edition.

Hi lee32uk, that's good news, thanks for the swift response.

Good morning all, I have a thread in the Graphics Card section about upgrading from AMD 260X 2Gb. I'm pretty much there in terms of that decision: it's looking like 1070/1070Ti is the way to go. I simply wanted to confirm whether my PSU would be up the task. My spec is in my signature, but for...

If a GTX1070/1070Ti is looking like the better call in terms of power consumption whilst offering performance above that of a RX580 and equal to the Vega 56, then maybe that's the better call. Now/I'm left with the decision of which model to go for. I see that the Founders Edition 1070Ti is...

Hi Panos. I was prepared to spend up to £500 on the new GPU. If my current PSU isn't up to the task of powering those higher-end CPUs then it's looking more like the RX580 and saving a few £ in the process is the best course of action. I'm coming from an R7260X, so I'm sure I'll get the benefit...

Sadly I don't have access to the Members Market and am reluctant to go to other sources for secondhand parts, where prices for the 1070 seem to start around £250, but more commonly around £280. I've been pondering the 10XX range, and even considered stumping up for a new 1080. I'd rather buy...

So, I thought I'd resurrect this thread, given the fact that I decided to wait on the new Nvidia cards...I did upgrade to 16Gb RAM, but still haven't overclocked the CPU as couldn't decide on a better cooling solution. Now that the Nvidia 20XX series pre-order prices have started appearing I...

I agree bakes0310, I really should try my hand at overclocking the CPU and get the RAM as I’ll be wanting that regardless of the GPU I choose. Thanks ci_newman. It’s good to hear of someone with the 980Ti getting good results. That could be the best value route for me.

I guess this probably isn't the best time to be buying a new graphics card - I hadn't realised that CES was later this month. I'll keep my eyes peeled for 980Ti bargains and hopefully there will be some interesting developments in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the swift response. The 980Ti is a good call and something that hadn't occurred to me until you suggested it. I'm not against the idea of 2nd hand, and having done a quick bit of research, it would seem that the 980Ti has potential for overclocking. I think that perhaps that or, as...

Good morning all, I've been using the following system for a couple of years now, and fancied doing a slight upgrade to improve its performance in games. Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 CPU: i7 4790K RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Teamgroup Vulcan Red DDR3-19200C11 2400MHz GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2...

First time I've walked out of a film before the end in the two years I've had Cineworld membership. I only went to see it for want of anything better to do that day, and am glad I didn't pay approx. £10 for the pleasure.

I can recommend a Victorinox Swiss Tool. I've had mine for over 12 years, having been bought it is a gift. It still works well, and is incredibly well made. I take it for granted really, but find myself using it more often than any of my other tools (even the Philips screwdriver seems to...

Oh and replaced the forks on my Kawasaki Z750S, as old ones were pitted with rust. Once that's MOT'd again I can rest the Subaru for a while!

Changed the timing belt and water pump on my Legacy on Sunday. Now checking it in my break at work to see if there are any leaks from the coolant system! Still got to change the diff and gearbox oil, and then treat it to some new tyres.

Personally I think that getting the PC working smoothly as well as keeping the PS4 would be the best way to go. No point in ditching a good PC unless you intend to sell and use the cash for something else. Both systems have their merits: I love gaming on the console - most friends have...
