    Sapphire AMD Deals

    Been waiting to upgrade from my 1080ti for a long time and just hoping to see prices drop to reasonable levels just doesnt seem to be a thing anymore and then seeing £699 for the 7900xt pulse it seems too good a deal. Looks like an alphacoll nitro waterblock should fit this as well so that might...

    VEGA IS FINALLY HERE, ITS IN STOCK ALONG WITH SOME EPIC BUNDLES & FREESYNC DEALS!!

    Do we know which brands this will be today and especially if the warranty stickers cover up the cooler removal for a water block?

    Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199

    Strange as my friend is using a passive DP adapter on his 980ti and cant get more than 60hz, he has tried multiple adapters with no success.

    Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199

    Not having DVI is a bit of a dealbreaker as I wont be able to use 120hz on my on monitor without spending a large amount on an active adapter. Hoping AIBs have a version with DVI

    So who is actually going to buy a 1070 or 1080 ?

    Will be getting a 1080 upgrade from a 680 but when is the main question. Will need a waterblock so without knowing if vendors will be using the reference "founders" PCB who knows what will happen. Might have to wait out a bit longer and hope EVGA do a hydro-copper with a pure copper block.

    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    They will send a courier (DPD for me everytime) with a replacement refurbished monitor and make a straight swap. I didn't want a refurb so requested a repair which is why mine took so long. They did send me a refurbished model as it look so long to repair but it was damaged so had mine repaired.

    Finally got my screen back from repair a 3rd time, so far so good. RMA opened on the 08/02/2016 Received monitor 3rd time - 15/04/2016 Firmware has been upgraded this time and all stats are now at 0 minutes so this is a good sign. Really disappointed overall I received little to no...

    Tried using my screen with DVI-D as well and still got the lines... BenQ have reverted to ignoring my email for a week now.

    I guess I could order a new DP cable, I assume that the OCUK value doesn't fall into this category.

    And now I have found issues with my return it seems to have 2 lines across the screen and if on 144hz it has a slight flicker and on 120hz there is are very noticeable lines. http://i.imgur.com/J3ImTZA.jpg Really unimpressed with the whole ordeal.

    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    Finally got my original screen back today and so far working great as it has minimal bleed just like before. But they didn't upgrade the firmware as they said they would at the repair shop so its still on V00120140130 so I guess no reason to try AMD next time and freesync and just be happy with...

    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    After testing my screen I found that it flickers constantly and has scuff marks on the top of the case which had to be pressed back into place. They gave me a shoddy box with my original nowhere to be seen which I used a lot. They closed my rma now I have to open another for this screen. This...

    My RMA is finally coming to a close today since it was opened on the 8th Feb. After refusing a refurb model as a replacement they collected the screen for repair which led to weeks of "waiting parts", Yesterday they decided that as they have no eta they are going to give me a refurb model and...

    *** Official Nintendo Wii U thread ***

    Got my Limited Edition yesterday and played for about 2 hours. Been a few years since I played the original but the frame rate seems nice, textures a bit low but nothing to even worry about and everything is a lot smoother. Only use the Pro Controller so far but all is good The Amibo is my...

    I got this screen back in March 2015 and couldn't fault it until it developed a fault a few months ago with what can only be described as a bright spot. RMA was created on the 5th Feb and took them a week to issue a replacement which would have been a refurb unit so I declined and requested a...

    *** Phanteks EVOLV Owners Thread ***

    Spend the best part of my weekend transfering from my oversized LianLi P80N into an Evolv ATX (sorry for phone pic) Moving from such a large case into this was a much bigger pain that thought. The main problems I had where with 7 expansion slots as you can see in my image I can only just fit...

    After playing the odd game last night with this screen it is a major step up from my old one. Everything about this screen compared to my XL2410T is better. Running Nvidia GTX 680 SLI I have had no issue as of yet. Plugged it straight into display port opened the nvidia control panel set to...
