    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    From what I've read, Ukrainians are more experienced, including reservists at the start of the conflict, as they've been dealing with the Donbas since 2014, they're also better trained to fight autonomously thanks to US, UK, and Canadian training. It also takes a minimum 3 months to get...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Hi everybody, sorry if this has been covered already, but have OCUK announced whether they'll be doing preorders again with the 4000 series, or have they been scarred for life after the 3000 series?

    i7 6700K Upgade or Hold

    Only you can decide if your current system cuts it for your needs, but you'd be upgrading to the best platform and cpu for gaming which will make a difference in AAA titles at 1440p . The 5600X and a B550 makes a lot more sense for your needs, having more cores that sit idle is setting your cash...

    Palit have a very loyal following in Asia and Eastern Europe. They offer a lot of card for the money, the Game Rock is their top tier, Strix competator, and holds it's own with tons of personality and glam. Enjoy!

    Here's hoping, either today or tomorrow, but I'm worried the 20 became 4. Please do post if you get a dispatch email. I'm at number 8.

    It's not worth pre-ordering at this stage. You don't make any savings, and you'll be at the back of an impossibly long queue. I pre-ordered one of the most well produced cards on day 2, and am only nearing the end now. You're better off signing up with some of the many stock alert sites, and...

    We asked yesterday, they were not booked into stock. So it may take another day or two, and then a couple more days for dispatch, best to hold off asking for an update until Friday if we haven't heard anything by then.

    Do you have an update on the 20 Asus 3080 TUF OC from last Tuesday? Have they arrived, been processed into stock? Many Thanks.

    For my TUF OC peeps, I'm number 8, and haven't heard anything yet. I expect a dispatch email by around Thursday at the earliest, going by Gibbo's timeframe. Hopefully Scott or Gibbo have an update on whether last week's 20 and this week's 100 have arrived and are being processed into stock by...

    Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

    I'll just add a word of support to the boys at Hardware Unboxed. Their reviews and Q&As are brilliant; Accessable, no nonsense, and grounded, with just the right amount of technical information for buyers, without getting into the weeds. Almost every component in my new build I subjected to...

    Not at all, I appreciate the clarification. I just wanted to know if you could shed some light on the best or worst outcome. Oh well, hope for the best, expect the worst. Many thanks again, and Merry Christmas... _ _==_ _ (" , ) |__| \/. \-- | __( : ). |_ Saff

    Hi, Scotti Do you know if the timeline Gibbo gave for the Asus 3080 TUF OC includes Saturdays, and if we may have them posted by the end of next week or beginning of Christmas week? I'm number 8 boys. Here's hoping.

    @ScottiB @Gibbo I'm a lurker who barely posts on the thread, but wanted to ask about those Asus Tuf OC cards. Gibbo gave a timeline for arrival, processing, and posting. Does it include Saturdays? Is it reasonable to assume cards may be posted by the end of next week or Christmas week? Many...

    Interesting read. France and the UK are the only military powers in Europe so it's possible they do a deal based on the need for mutual security for the continent, because Biden's win was narrow and the US may not be reliable long term. In the event that negotiations fail on Sunday, and we...

    Interesting. Less intuitive than GTA? No big bugs thus far? PC World's reviewer Brad Charcas stated the world was so engaging that he spent a lot of time exploring, and on side quests, rather than just following the main plot. Ring true for you?

    We figured So it lived up to the hype for you? No updates. They should have arrived by the end of today at the latest, but it may take several days for staff to get around to the pallet that contains them, and then put them into the stock system, before they join the dispatch queue, because of...

    What should I do.... Halp! Do I upgrade a 3080 to a 3090 or my 7700k to a more recent CPU?

    Upgrade your CPU, that's your bottleneck. The 3090 is terrible value, not worth it unless you're rich.

    Do you use the USB-C port on you're case

    Of course, I agree there's no practical difference, but Type C was designed to be compatible with USB 2 or USB 3.2 so it's fine for books, or general files, or even booting off a USB stick into Linux. If I need faster transfer rates, say at 3.2, or even Thunderbolt/USB4 speed it can do that too...
