    AMD Radeon RX 480

    Reviews are out for AMD's mainstream targeted offering. Overall the card looks to be a cracker, with GTX 970 performance or greater with a peak 150W available power draw and competitive pricing at roughly £170 for the 4Gb variant, and £220 for the 8Gb variant...

    Microsoft will not support upcoming CPUs

    This is quite interesting. Essentially, if one was to upgrade beyond the current crop of Intel Skylake and AMD Kaveri CPUs, Microsoft will simply not provide security updates to your machine unless you are using Windows 10. Quite an aggressive approach to forced adoption honestly. However...

    Skylake

    It's that time in the tick tock cycle again, which means the successor to Haswell (and Broadwell in a sense). Skylake. http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/intel_skylake_i5_6600k_i7_6700k_1151_z170_review/1 Presently the i5 6600K is available for £209.99, with the i7 6700K...

    Moving from a WD 2TB Black to a Crucial MX100

    I can't offer facts or figures, just my experience in making the switch. Having upgraded from a 64GB Crucial M4 to a Crucial MX100 256GB, I now have space to actually have my Trainz installation on my SSD, and boy is the difference noticeable. The installation was initially on a new Western...

    Competance today of the Geforce 8800GTX and beyond.

    Hello. A while ago I built a simple PC for my younger brother to play graphically undemanding games such as Team Fortress 2. While the PC just about manages with a PNY Geforce 9400GT the experience is quite disappointing, with a budget in mind I would like to ask anyone who is still using GPU's...

    8GB installed. 4GB usable.

    Hello, this is an issue I cannot seem to resolve so any help would be appreciated :) After replacing my single 4GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 1333MHz DIMM with two Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600MHz DIMMs my system seems to refuse to act the way I wish it to. 4GB is seen in the BIOS. 8GB by Windows and...

    A few questions

    Currently 2GB of RAM is not proving enough for the majority of tasks (FPS in Trainz drops to about 10). To upgrade to 4Gb DDR2 would cost a minimum of £30 but 8GB DDR3 would cost the same, future proof my system slightly and of course run at higher speeds. So my questions are. .Will a Pentium D...

    Geforce GTS 450 Vs GTS 450 ECO

    Hello, i was wondering what were the major differences in performance between a stock clock 450 and an ECO 450 from Zotac? Would the performance of the ECO be closer to a 450 or a 440 or even a Radeon 6670 (I based this question on the 440 having higher clocks but less stream processors) :)
