    Upgrade from i7 9700k for Ultrawide 3440 1440 gaming

    The boy has a samsung SSD980 m.2 as his system drive, and a Crucial BX500 ssd as his gaming drive. My 9700k has been sitting at 4.8ghz for a while now. I run a hand me down system, and one of my nephews has expressed his jealousy at his cousin having a gaming pc. It's his birthday soon, so the...

    Upgrade from i7 9700k for Ultrawide 3440 1440 gaming

    Thank you, its just I am in the position to drop my budget on an upgrade just now, I have actually adulted properly for the first time in my life and saved enough to refresh the system. I dont want to wait much longer and have 2 tyres blow on me, or turn my heating on and wipe out my savings!

    Upgrade from i7 9700k for Ultrawide 3440 1440 gaming

    Appreciate the reply, but I spent about 1k on the card about 1 1/2 years ago and its not what im looking to upgrade. DLSS works quite well with msfs and I adjust graphics settings to suit. I play MSFS very casually, so its more of a system overhaul, slight future proofing im after. This system...

    Inno3D 3080 iChill X4

    Im currently in a position to buy a 3080, and there are 2 brands in stock, Inno3D and KFA. Both are brands I know little about, and I was going to go with the inno3D purely for the extra years warranty (3) Is there anything else to consider before I purchase? I suppose im wondering why these 2...

    Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

    Honestly, I'm not sure, I was under the impression that the first few levels (enough to get the new weapons) were free on the BP, but I use the coins earned it the last BP to buy the new one.

    Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

    So new Vector(Fennec) is pretty fun, shreds as you would expect in Multiplayer, and is very handy in Warzone as secondary also = Win The Galil is good fun in multiplayer with a smg ish set up, and is also very good in Warzone with the Mono and Long Barrel variant, it's not the Grau, but I...

    Calibre Bossnut v3

    Sorry to bump this up, just stumbled across it. I've got a V3 also, awsome, very capable bike, love it. If you wanted a rear lockout, the Monarch RL or RT3 would do the job. Not sure if you have done the tubeless conversion yet, but although the tyres are tubeless ready, you will need to...

    Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

    I thought I was going mental when I bought myself back in my first game, proper WTF moment! Thought it was just another bug to add to the list, then it starts explaining itself after first redeploy. Makes it quite interesting wether to risk going back for your gear or not.

    They are probably trying to code from home, not working too well :D

    The voice chat bug is so game breaking! I play with a couple of mates on PS4, myself on PC and it affects all of us. Got a 3rd and a 7th that im fairly sure we could have turned into wins if we could communicate :(

    I think the servers can't keep up with the smoke grenade and LMG spam needed to unlock the new LMG. Guilty :D

    It's not just Virgin, I'm on BT and it's intermittent wether it lets me in, or tells me I have been disconnected from the server. Fun.
