    PCSPECIALIST Geforce Experience Update - Shadowplay

    Wasn't sure if this was common news or not but it seems GeForce Experience has updated and introduced Shadowplay Beta which allows discreet in-game recording with barely any impact on FPS performance. I believe this is only for 600 and 700 series cards but looks pretty decent to be honest! Full...

    PCSPECIALIST Anybody have experience lately with Integrated Graphics?

    I'm looking to build a really cheapo rig as the missus's laptop has broke and she really enjoys playing Guild Wars 2 (unfortunately on my machine at the moment!). I've been having a look around and I think the only way I'm going to be able to do this is with an Integrated Graphics CPU. I just...

    PCSPECIALIST Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2

    PCSPECIALIST Potentially moving back to hometown, what would you do in my situation?

    I've discovered that there's a possibility of moving back to Southport where my relatives live which is about 3 hours from where I am now. I'm pretty keen for a move as I've been a bit down in the dumps lately with work and stuff and there's no real reason for me wanting to stay in Malvern any...

    PCSPECIALIST New SSD, do I need to do anything once I plug my old HDD back in?

    Hey guys, got myself a Samsung 840 pro 250gb SSD yesterday, stupid amount of money to spend but my PC was well in need of a spruce up seeing as I've used about 800gb out of my 1tb in my Caviar black and things don't seem to be moving too quickly nowadays. I think I've done everything...

    PCSPECIALIST F1 2013 PC... Disappointment..? Xbox Controller help...

    I decided to buy F1 on the PC year as it was only £20 and figured it could really benefit from a 144hz screen and my rigs graphic capabilities. I haven't had chance to play much due to other commitments but in the 20minutes I've played I'm massively disappointed with the way the PC version...

    PCSPECIALIST Anybody else having the Fifa14 Current Gen/Next Gen debate with themselves?

    As Fifa fans will know, Fifa 14 releases this week for the current gen consoles, just 2 months before the planned release of the Xbox One which contains a free Fifa 14 download with every Day One Preorder... I'm in a bit of a dilemma, realistically I hadn't planned on pre-ordering an Xbox One...

    PCSPECIALIST Any Strava Cyclists?

    I decided to fork out and buy an entry-level road bike to fill my life with at least a little bit of exercise. I've had it since Saturday and have been out twice so far and have really enjoyed it, only covering fairly short distances at a 'steady' speed but I feel it shouldn't be too long before...

    PCSPECIALIST Moving out of parents to gain independence vs Staying at home to save for a deposit?

    I've toyed over moving out for about a year now mainly since my mentally ill brother moved back into my parents 2 bedroom house.. After 6 months of a 20 year old sharing a room with a 28 year old working on different sleep patterns we finally 'converted' our house into a 3 bedroom house by...

    PCSPECIALIST Small starter camera that would be better than a smartphone? Casual Photography..

    Hi guys, Never really been much into photography as I've never seen myself as an artsy farty creative kind of person... However, I have a few events coming up in the near future where I would like to capture some photos. In the past, I've tried to scrape by with my 8MP Samsung Galaxy S2 phone...

    PCSPECIALIST What are your most common websites?

    Just wanted an insight into what websites you guys regularly visit/get your daily fix from. Now keep it clean, nobody wants to know what you get up to when you're home alone but feel free to list anything whether it's funny, political, sporty, geeky, etc etc. I'll start off, my work place is...

    PCSPECIALIST 'Anxiety' while Gaming?

    Lately I've noticed that I'm a really poor Gamer, not skill-wise, just confidence wise. I've gamed since I was in nappies and have always enjoyed it, but from the age of around 12 I started playing MMORPG's quite heavily. One in particular (not WoW) I spent about 5 years of my life on with very...

    PCSPECIALIST Car Insurance companies missing a trick?

    As somebody that has spent an awful lot of time filling out car insurance quotes just to try and find cars that I can afford, etc it sprang to me the other day that it would be so much easier if I could just type in my Driving License number and it auto-completes as much of the form as possible...

    PCSPECIALIST Castle Crashers crew

    Me and Monkey have been playing a lot of Castle Crashers lately and quite frankly, I love it. It's such an epic game, skill progression feels good and it actually requires some tactics to get through a lot of boss fights, etc. Just basically putting this out there to see if anybody else has it...

    PCSPECIALIST Anybody had a Fiesta ST?

    I know not all of you are petrol heads but I've been wrong before. In short, I discovered the other day that it wouldn't actually be too difficult to insure myself on a pokey hot hatch. I'm not looking to set the world on fire or get myself killed but I do want a step up from my dull 1.2 Punto...

    PCSPECIALIST How relevant is Half Life 2 compared to the latest titles?

    Half Life is one of the games I grew up watching my dad play as a kid (I hope that makes you feel old), whenever people ask what games they should get with their new PC Half Life is always on the list, there's a bloke who's spent like 10 years of his life bringing the damn game up to today's...

    PCSPECIALIST Need help on excel

    I'm trying to get 90,000 rows of data on excel into an easy to filter pivot table. I did it easily with 2000 rows but we have some more in-depth data that's laid out a bit different. Basically it's data from a Flow-monitoring survey. We sub-contracted it out for our client and now that he's had...

    PCSPECIALIST Video editing spec for a friend?

    Hi guys, One of my friends is a fan of editing using Adobe Premiere but he's currently doing it on a dual core, 4gb PC and apparently the rendering takes an age and it's stopping him from getting stuff done quickly (which is understandable). I suggested he could do with something like an i7...

    PCSPECIALIST Thinking of getting a bike? Anyone have experience?

    I've been driving for 2 years now, my insurance on my Punto is now going to be relatively cheap at the renewal price of £475 and I have no real issues being able to afford it anymore as my job is a fairly good salary for a 20 year old. The thing is I've been looked for a new car for about a year...

    PCSPECIALIST How worth it is modding a game?

    One of the main appeals of coming back to PC gaming for me was the ability to mod games that you'd already got your moneys worth out of. I mainly had things like Skyrim and Fallout in mind and now about 7 months down the line I still haven't touched any mods even though I own both games. I don't...
