    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Hello. Is a 4060 still a bad deal for £290? It would be a good fit for a small case PC I want to build, but its catching all sorts of flak. Plusses for me is efficency and small physical size, it's much faster than the RX580 I have now. Going to be playing VR with an original Vive, 1080p desk...

    Small portableish case?

    https://www.overclockers.co.uk/jonsbo-c6-micro-atx-mesh-case-black-ca-031-jb.html This one looks alright, but watching a vid on it, might be a tight squeeze and cooling isnt great. I'll probably just have to buy the case and measure up to make sure things will fit.

    What GPUs are you using for PCVR?

    RX580 for an original Vive. Contractors runs fine, B+S is fine until more than 5 bodies on screen. DCS I tried for a minute and was unplayable.

    Small portableish case?

    Hi all, I've been thinking about a new build for winter, I'd like a small case that can go comfortably under the TV for controller sofa games, and also be moved without much hassle to another room for VR games. I've seen a Cooler Master NR200 which I like the look of, but is m-itx going to...

    Thoughts on these 2 cars ? Mazda 3 and Toyota Auris (2017/2018)

    I very much like the way Toyota does things and the way hybrids drive, someone will be along shortly to complain about CVT gearboxes, infotainment usually lets it down. Going to be very reliable. Only driven a Mazda Cx-5 so not much to compare, best thing is to have a long sit and play with all...

    20 moh limits- in wales

    20 just feels very slow, I'm sure there are streets that would benefit from it. The 50mph through Cardiff on the motorway feels like a joke, everything seems like its going backwards these days.

    £500 Upgrade for VR, CPU or GPU?

    Thanks for the replies. I think I'll get a 4070 (if it fits in the case) to tide me over after summer and then a 13th gen cpu/mobo later in the year. In B+S it's fine with a couple of enemies but now that I'm getting better at it, 5 bodies and 5 active enemies at the same time really slow it down.

    £500 Upgrade for VR, CPU or GPU?

    Hi all. I've been using an original HTC Vive, playing Blade and Sorcery, Contractors. They are mostly fine fps wise, until you have a lot of people on the screen in B+S, things slow down. My specs are pretty average which is why I got the Vive: I7-6700 16GB cheapo RAM RX580 I'm hesitant to...

    *** The Car Cleaning Thread ***

    With windscreen I've found I get streaks that are fine in the day but when weeing down at night it's hard to see through. Even not trying to spray it you get some on, so next time I'll give it some window cleaner after.

    Caravan sat navs worth it?

    Hello, we have a trailer tent which isn't the worst thing to tow, but last year I had some issues with Google Maps taking me down some skinny country roads, one fun time I had just taken a right into a side road to be greeted with a massive tractor, and had to carefully reverse back into the...

    *** The Car Cleaning Thread ***

    I like polar wash, got a set for Christmas with Polar Blast, Wash and Seal. Used the Wash in 2 washes but thought it was so nice to use I bought a 2.5L bottle. The Seal is a nice easy finisher too, the 500ml bottle from the set will last me ages. Quick question to all about tar remover, as far...

    Limiting bandwidth of certain devices on WAN

    Hi, hoping someone can help. So the background of this is our landline broadband is slow and always will be, lately 4G speeds blow it out the water so I'm considering a 4G/5G router. But the cap on an 'unlimited' connection is 1000 GB a month. Looking at usage stats for the last year on our...

    Biennial MOT tests

    I can see why so much stuff would be skipped over then. I guess there isn't someone around to almost repeat a job to make sure it's been done properly.
