    Three driveway spaces between me and neighbor - they choose to park car in middle not use their own space

    I wouldn’t do any of that, I’d park in the middle space whenever I could.

    Is a modern GPU (eg: NVidia 4070) a total waste of time on an old CPU (eg: Intel I7 4790K)? - Anyone running a modern(ish) GPU on an old CPU?

    Ryzen cpu 3700x and a 3060ti I have gets me 120fps with drops to 95 in warzone if that’s of any help.

    The RT Related Games, Benchmarks, Software, Etc Thread.

    1st post for ages, raytracing isn’t worth my time or money. If I felt like posting in the red dead thread I would, but I don’t.

    I could do that :), or not buy it until I upgrade ( which won’t be any time soon ).

    The RT Related Games, Benchmarks, Software, Etc Thread.

    Only because it will run like crap on my card. I wanted to play red dead redemption 2 but thought my system would struggle with it at 1440p so I didn’t bother getting it.

    The RT Related Games, Benchmarks, Software, Etc Thread.

    Hmmm, big conclusion you jumped to there. I posted because nexus said that a game is being released that you cannot disable RT on, so it will run like crap like the rest of the RT games on mid range cards, so I won’t buy any game currently with RT ( managed just fine so far without it ). Simple...

    The RT Related Games, Benchmarks, Software, Etc Thread.

    Or people can choose not to buy the games with RT, like I do, it’s funny I have had 2 raytracing capable cards but I have never played any game with raytracing in it. ( except the quake 2 demo ) and that was enough to put me off. You would basically need a £500 card to run at 60+ Fps, I...

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    The in contract price rises is why I avoided them, also the ping times from a neighbour were 20ms higher than what I had already.

    Help finding info on my monitor

    Sometimes when a certain setting is enabled it greys out your colour settings. This could be anything like, Gamer modes in your OSD or HDR being enabled. I would turn off other settings 1 by 1 and this might enable the colours to be changed.

    Opinion - The 7800xt is not a good value card at it's current price when compared to a 4070

    Love my 3060ti, by the time I need another card to play the games I will be interested in I would probably just get a PlayStation 6. Great value for money card 3 years ago and if you don’t play new release buggy raytracing games 3060ti / 3070’s will last quite a lot longer. In any context the...

    Thanks for your input guys, I’ll try to get sky down to £20 just for the broadband as we don’t watch sky tv anymore so not paying for it after October 8th. Definitely don’t want to join virgin though brcause in April I would get an estimated rpi 3.9% and some other price rise to do with...

    Contract is ending next month with sky and I Was going to join VM but there network seems flakey at peak times and ping times are a bit high for my liking, Sky only do fttc 80mb at my property but pings are 8ms so may as well stick with them.

    High Hz monitors for low FPS gaming/multimedia? Should I rethink?

    Mine is a VA monitor, my perception of the lower fps looking jerky might be my 3060ti not coping with settings turned up but I am sure if I had not gone up to 144hx monitor my games would be maxed out at 60 fps and I would be none the wiser. Any game higher than 80 fps is lovely and smooth...

    My horrible RMA experience

    Shame really, even a 4070 is about on par with a 3080 performance wise and they have shelves full of them.

    My horrible RMA experience

    A Friend had a gigabyte 3080ti he paid £1400 quid for during covid from a massive uk retailer online. He had temp hotspots and fans ramping up for a while and decided to rma hoping they fixed it. Gigabyte sent the card back and it wasn’t even opened to look at stating the card worked fine. He...

    Just seen virgins new deals with volt o2 sims can be increased anytime mid contract and it’s written in their contract so there is nothing you can do in the future, double sting. Glad I’m happy enough with 80:20 fttc from sky, but bt are working in my area currently doing fttp.

    High Hz monitors for low FPS gaming/multimedia? Should I rethink?

    Lower than 80 fps on my 144hz lg monitor looks like it’s skipping frames with vrr on or off, tried fixed refresh rate at 60hz, 72hz, 120hz or 144hz, same. Anything over 80fps is fine.

    RTX 4070 12GB, is it Worth it?

    I wouldn’t be playing that game on those settings on a mid range card.

    The Ada Lovelace RTX 4090 Owners Thread

    4080’s are only a 100% more expensive than the 3080’s. Nvidia must think people are mad, or gamers are idiots.

    Sky Broadband - Terrible Connection

    Some information on your actual connection speed would help as it may not be your Wi-Fi but slow internet speed into your house… Are you on full fibre, or 80/20 fibre to the cabinet? Btw I am on sky 80/20 and Wi-Fi is good for our older 3 bed house.
