What's the best way to show fps?

If there isn't a setting within the game i use MSI Afterburner - and the overlay or the OSD as it's known.

Nathan, you made me disparage the wrong dialect!

What's the equivalent for 'Why aye man' in Staffordshire - is it brummie?

In which case:

Hehe - /brummie accent: 'Alright then' /end brummie accent.

Oh blimey you're right, I saw Newcastle in the address first and proceeded to ignore the rest! Even the county, silly me!!!

I assure you any build log (not even sure what that is but I can assume) I try to create would be terrible and you'd want to claw your eyes out whilst reading!!

Not if you added an element of excitement and uncertainty to it:

You may have to with your temps

The 24 pages of this forum post have been pretty entertaining so I was looking forward to much of the same with a build log

NathanL · 12 Jun 2017 at 16:55

If you want anything entertaining, just put me near anything to do with manual labour or dexterity. Hilarity will follow

Okay, card arrived, drivers uninstalled, here we go

Good luck...

Old card had two power cables going in to it, this only needs one, am I alright to just take one out and leave it? Does it need to be unplugged other end?

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:47

Only needs the one 6 pin.

Unplugged other end?

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:47

Is it alright to leave the redundant one plugged in at the power supply end though?

Sure.

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:53

Okay, bit of a struggle with one of the screws, but it's in!

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:55

BANG!!!
