    This takes me the best part of around 4 hours, best part of my day. I include coffee, fry up, few episodes of frasier, forum catch up, and many cigarettes in this

    PCSPECIALIST GCC driver updates

    I’m confused as you said the above which suggested it wasn’t the installer from AMD? It's not very clear what's happening here, seems to be one post saying one thing and another contradicting it? Let's take it back to square one, can you post a screenshot of your optional updates page? And...

    PCSPECIALIST Check my Spec

    That’s just been explained in full, the answer is no, you don’t have the budget to be able to push 1440p

    PCSPECIALIST 1440p High End Gaming Setup

    The 4090 will be outperformed by the 5080, the top tier 5000 series is set to absolutely destroy even the 5080 by a substantial margin. I wouldn't be buying a 4080 or 4090 at this late stage as they're stupidly overpriced as no longer being produced, and poor performers compared to what will be...

    PCSPECIALIST Check my Spec

    These days, under 100fps in the main is not considered "gaming", it's too low Resolution is the number of pixels. So 1440p is almost 2 x the pixels of 1080p. To drive more pixels you need more power. Your budget does not allow for a 1440p GPU, not even close, a 1440p GPU is about £500 just for...

    PCSPECIALIST 1440p High End Gaming Setup

    If you can stretch the budget to it (we should be able to take a slice off the PC budget to balance it out if necessary), this is a seriously good 360Hz QD-OLED that's very worth a look at, 27" 1440p currently down to £620...

    It's not an actual brand, it's one of these "gaming" monitors that are just insanely bad, it's a fake basically.

    PCSPECIALIST Check my Spec

    At £1500 you can get a basic 1080p build, if you're including a monitor in that, you can't really build a worthwhile PC So we need to know what the budget is we're working to.

    PCSPECIALIST New keyboard and mouse recommendations

    For Keyboard, the Keychron V5 Full is hard to beat at the moment as it's discounted, it's a fantastic keyboard, full layout including function row. Plus you get 10% off if you subscribe (should be a pop up when you first load the page) @ £62 (including discount), personally I'd recommend Red...

    PCSPECIALIST New keyboard and mouse recommendations

    is this for gaming? For the mouse, what’s your preference, very light or more welighty? I never really cottoned onto the newer mice trends and still prefer quite chunky mices For keyboards do you want numpad included or are you happy with a TKL or 60%?

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 7 9800X3D next month?

    Yeah, I agree. I think the 9950X3D is going to be an absolute killer across the board. Early leaks are that they're going to be doing an X3D Threadripper part!!! The performance gains we've seen in Adobe (Photoshop) on the 9800X3D I think took everyone by surprise, have that benefit in a...

    PCSPECIALIST 1440p gaming high FPS shooters HELP PLEASE

    The 5000X was an early version, the 3500X is a later redesign. Early versions are always more expensive because they have to reclaim the large R&D costs. But also, they will always be made of more premium materials, so the price isn't unjustified. The 5000X is still a superb case, both...
