    PCSPECIALIST Starfield

    Starfield seems set to become the latest "will it run Crysis" meme. It's brutal on GPUs and I'll be interested in the CPU requirements given BGS games are notoriously greedy in that area. Fun game to play though, just dial down the settings on your laptop, probably medium at best.

    PCSPECIALIST Slow SSD

    Might be worth looking at the 87 (hex) error entries on the D: drive. Probably nothing but there are zero on C:

    I nearly went for that but I had to have the watch. Let's hope it's not some cheap plastic toy. Fallout 76 anyone?

    Got the Starfield constellation edition this morning. Was a rather painful £250. Sadly the scalpers are already selling them on ebay for £350 and up.

    The OTP gets sent on dispatch, not on delivery day (unless it's same day). You will need to contact PCS and ask them the procedure at their end. It's quite likely they've come across it before.

    PCSPECIALIST RTX4070 reviews are out

    Not the worst card from Nvidia of late and decent power to performance. Probably just sway towards the AMD but if you are borderline on PSU then perhaps Nvidia.

    PCSPECIALIST PSA - The issues with VRAM on modern games

    Especially as it was going for around £600-£700 at the time. It's £250 now so almost decent entry level given the still daft prices for later models.

    PCSPECIALIST PSA - The issues with VRAM on modern games

    You can buy a 12GB 2060 today on scan.co.uk. But yeah, the data doesn't really look right.

    PCSPECIALIST PSA - The issues with VRAM on modern games

    OK so I'll play devil's advocate. Both the 3060 and 2060 show big increases. Both have 12GB memory. Coincidence? Edit: BTW I'm not saying that would be a good choice to make!

    PCSPECIALIST PSA - The issues with VRAM on modern games

    Just think, 24 years ago you could change GB for MB and said exactly the same thing about a Voodoo 3.

    PCSPECIALIST PSA - The issues with VRAM on modern games

    Laziness is the trend and that won't change, but remind me in 12 months. We'll see.

    PCSPECIALIST PSA - The issues with VRAM on modern games

    But the trend is always more of everything, not less. It may stabilise for a while but for new AAA games going forward 8GB is going to be entry level. For high settings with RT 12-16Gb will be the norm within 12 months.

    PCSPECIALIST PSA - The issues with VRAM on modern games

    Probably a bit of both. The decision is easy at the moment for mid range gaming, i.e. buy AMD and force Nvidia to up their game. Unfortunately if you aren't at all technical minded then you may end up buying the wrong card.

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming PC - advice needed on specs!

    Watch the video above. You will have to seriously dial down the settings of some current and most future games due to the VRAM limit of 8GB. Basically in 12 months it will be obsolete for new AAA games.
