    Please help regarding CPUs and higher resolutions

    Thank you all for your replies! And to @Dirk Diggler for the fantastic analogy! I have learnt one or two new things from whats been posted. For example I realised although my CPU was made in 2017 its still based on a 2015 architecture which I wasn't really thinking about. Also the fact that...

    Please help regarding CPUs and higher resolutions

    Thanks for the reply. So you suggested 5800x or 5900x as well there, would the difference a lot more noticable from a 5600x do you think?

    Please help regarding CPUs and higher resolutions

    Thank you for your replies and I appreciate the time you have taken. I'm usually pretty techy and can identify problems on my own, which is why I believed I had a CPU bottleneck in the first place. But this was one scenerio I didn't truely know the answer to because of the informationed I heard...

    Please help regarding CPUs and higher resolutions

    Thank you for your reply. I think I need to do some testing with some other games because on other games I'm getting 100% GPU usage and the frames are very high. Doom Eternal is a good example of a game that runs like butter, its locked at 100fps. I never have Vsync on if I can avoid it and...

    Please help regarding CPUs and higher resolutions

    Hello, So I'm a little confused regarding CPUs and higher resolutions. I've always been under the impression that a major CPU is not required when running high res. I just got my 3080 Eagle today and I've been running some games with it. My monitor is 32:9 running at 5120x1440. Correct me if...

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

    Thanks for the input. I'm honestly not sure. If it was a trailer then it can hold 24-26 pallets of stock. I forget its been a while since I worked in Despatch. I got no idea how busy Overclockers are, but 24-26 pallets of stock going to DPD is crazy. How a single GPU box wasn't able to fit on...

    Maybe so, but this isn't the fault of DPD and the fault of Overclockers not having my order on the trailer because there was no room. Which is not acceptable.

    Yeah sorry, maybe that was a mistake on my part too then. I understand, take a moment to read in full when you can. But I explained what happened in the message. But to answer the question here too. They told me there wasn't enough room on the trailer. But in the full message I explain why that...

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

    Yes, what your saying is totally understandable. But let me explain. The email you are talking about I received at 16:17. The title of which was "Your order has been shipped". Then as you described it says orders shipped after 7pm won't be picked up by DPD. But again I have the expection that I...

    Well, you're the first moderator I've seen that isn't power hungry so you have my respect there at least.

    OH I SEE!!! Because its automated that means it automatically absolves any wrong doing on the part of Overclockers and allowing misleading emails to be sent. I apologise for my ignorance. I'm not happy its shipped my friend, I expect it to be shipped. Since I've paid £660 and had my money sat on...

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

    Correct, but when you receive a follow up email saying: "We'll deliver your OVERCLOCKERS parcel TOMORROW 1st December 2020 We will send your 1 hour time slot as soon as your parcel leaves the local depot, this is usually by 11:00am. We won't ask you to sign for your parcel, we'll take a...

    Nevermind, the anguish continues. I know it was too good to be true. Received a despatch email last night that I would get my card today and they STILL managed to screw it up and I'm getting my card tomorrow instead now. This is astonishing.

    This perilous journey has an end in sight for me. Now number 2 in the queue for a Gigabyte Eagle OC 3080 RTX. My journey started on September 17th at 13:45pm, as I pranced home from work with much glee and haste to place my order. I loaded up Overclockers and Nvidias website in preparation for...
