  1. This is all part of a game being played between AMD and NVIDIA. I know it sounds daft on the face of it but once you realise the Xbox and the PS5 both have AMD's latest GPU tech "big Navi" in them it starts to become clear. NVIDIA just released a series of GPU's that out perform their previous series and for nearly half the price roughly. That's a massive 180 from how NVIDIA have done business for nearly 2 decades now and its a direct response to what AMD are doing with MS and Sony. The Series S plays into this because its a 1440p 60-120 hz gaming experience which anywhere else if being built from scratch cost more than twice the Series S. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why AMD went all in with both Sony and MS especially. They're trying to steal the GPU market from NVIDIA without actually releasing comparible GPUs for retail.
  2. There should be grades of these consoles. How much extra you paying for the hardware required to pump out 120fps in 8k when all you have is a HD or UHD 60 hz TV?
  3. Never really been a massive fan of Xbox tbh. Went from being a SEGA guy to a PS/PC guy but lately I've come to the conclusion that the Xbox might be the best deal in consoles today. Game Pass and Gold being integrated and the current and future games library all for less than 100 quid a year? Could even do the trick where you buy a year of Xbox Live Gold (if you can find a retailer still selling the codes) then activated Game Pass for a quid which will convert the remaining Live subscription time into Game Pass. Easily the best deal in gaming atm and going forward.
  4. Well the Mhz are important if you're gonna buy another 8gb but so is finding out if its 2 sticks of RAM or one. Say for instance the RAM you have is 1333 you don't want to be buying something that has timings far different than that. Ideally the Mhz would be the same.
  5. Is it one stick of 8gb RAM or two 4GB sticks? What's the memories frequency? It'll be a four digit number with Mhz after it in case you're not savvy
  6. Hate to break it to you but Cory Balrog is a rainbow flag panderer. Kiss goodbye to the traditional father son relationship.
  7. Exactly mate.......its a great PSU........no chance of it going........none at all.........
  8. Fuck it mate if its dead you can always open up a working one, lick a capacitor and end it once and for all PC building can be a cunt of a hobby.
  9. Well that's mine nearly 2 year old and not had one issue so far. Did have a weird thing happen recently right enough. Was playing hitman 2, been playing it for a while, and my monitor went onto standby mode and my GPU fans went to 100% at the same time.
  10. Just realised mines is a TX Old age mate
  11. Aye Corsair have made a habit of buying and re-branding some poorly made units the last few years for some reason. Seasonic is a top brand mate. What's the rating? Silver/Gold?
  12. No even got access to a spare to check it didn't fry everything else?
  13. Each individual part comes with a warranty and RMA service that is fairly straightforward and simple, certainly not any more hassle than sending an entire tower back for repair or replacement. A Windows 10 key is 20 quid or less. Thermal compound isn't any more than 10 quid. Building it yourself is 100% the way to go and I don't believe buying it pre built has any advantage other than saving some time, that time isn't worth the mark up PC builders have in their pricing imo.
  14. Get yourself a RX 580 4GB or 8GB if its just for 1080p. I've got a Ryzen 5 2600 and a MSI Armor RX 580. Performs amazing for the money it cost.
  15. 6 core Ryzen is more than enough for 1080p gaming and is better value for money than Intel chips imo.
  16. He insinuated that the Premier League are hiding behind the FA to avoid taking action over the situation and he insinuated that the Prime Minister and leader of the opposition are racist apologists at the very least. If people can't understand why a media company would want to make it clear that those 2 statements don't reflect the views of the company then they don't understand how easy it would be for them to get sued for those statements.
  17. Oh fuck man I went back to DOTA 2 recently having been away from it for about 2 years and after 2 games I was placed in the low priority matchmaking due to excessive reports. Now I'm no angel when it comes to in game chat but I was sure I hadn't said anything offensive because I hadn't even used the chat over those 2 games. A few minutes of research later I come to find out that false reporting is rampant but not only that but the company who've taken it over don't even check the reports they just instigated a system whereby you're reported, you're punished and so a lot of players are stuck in low priority matchmaking permanently due to malicious reports. You kill me? Reported. You play a class I don't like? Reported. They've fucked it
  18. Rust has the single most toxic multiplayer community by a country mile. And I love it
  19. This is the case I've got. Had it for 3 years now. Its not massive to look at but there's so much room inside for expansion.
  20. Aye mate. Lots of people were struggling to get through the first hour of the game without constant crashing to the desktop.
