You don't have to take take it down the canal, with a sack and some bricks. It can still sit on the rug by the fire and fetch your slippers, or keep an elderly relative company. That said, it wouldn't be a bad time to look at planning your next steps, whether that means reading up on new options...

Everyone should pay more tax. Twitter users are narcissists. Specing a PC to last ages is just wrong. We all know we would rather buy a shiny new one every few years instead of upgrading bits.

Merry Christmas, everyone. I hope you all are warm and well.

Just tried it - VERY easy, thanks for the tip!

Just because I couldn't see it mentioned on the forum (hard to miss on the website, but you never know), worth pointing out that the code BFD22 gets you £25 off your build until the 28th. Also, a reminder for anyone snapping up Amazon bargains: camelcamelcamel.com is a handy Amazon price...

I find these power levels insane, not sure anyone predicted how fast it would rise. My PC is only four years old and at the time the configurator would have let me get away with a 550W PSU. Ousebon, Spyder and the rest made me up it to a 750 minimum and suggested an 850 for headroom. I went for...

Now I see why GPU support brackets are a thing.

That is HUGE

The Quest 2 isn't very demanding, after all - it is designed to be used without a PC. The main limitation is the space for memory, which severely limits how many apps you can have installed at once. To use Oculus Link, Meta recommends you have a PC with an Intel i5-4590 / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X or...

That's incredibly impressive - the rendering isn't far off the initial Google Earth models in terms of sophistication. Was it a particularly fancy camera or just Go-Pro level? I saw some early photogrammetry generated VR stuff and thought it would be two or three times as long before an amateur...

That's not the point. Newer, better, shinier! Sadly, it works perfectly (maybe excepting ICUE which is a pain in the RGB) currently but how can I sleep well knowing there are better options? If I need to start streaming massive poly Blender projects while simultaneously playing TWW3 and...

I'm on a 2700x and a 2080ti, I'm torn between jumping to a 5800x3D or waiting it out for the new crop (or, as I probably should, just sitting on it for a while - it still works, damn it)

I think incremental gains in pixel count, response time and field of view are all we'll see in the short term. Getting foveated imaging to work well (some boast limited versions of it already) will be key to reducing power requirements and GPU use, so headsets only render sharply what you are...

The 1070 TI is a decent card, even for 1440p but if you find compromising on some settings an issue (or want to get onto the ray-tracing bandwagon) the 650w PSU should give you room to upgrade the card. Is the PC struggling with anything? I'm always looking at a new build but have to keep...

If you can tell the forum what you main uses are and a rough budget, there are loads of people who could help you with specs and so on, to get the best fitting machine.

Whatever he was in, he had a talent for making you care about the character. A sort of kind earnestness that was really disarming. I think the last thing I saw him in was Dr Who and I thought: 'not great casting, I can't see this role working for him.' I was very wrong, he nailed it.

And so it begins... https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jul/24/chess-robot-grabs-and-breaks-finger-of-seven-year-old-opponent-moscow

Thank you both for helping! I think I'll pass on the under-volting, I'm lazy an it seems like too much work for me. I've heard of it, but never done it myself, so I'd need to learn. The AIO output wouldn't go far enough. I've lowered setting some - I do want to avoid more sacrifices there if I...

So... I know this might seem like heresy to some but with the hot weather I'm trying to limit my PC's performance to generate less heat. Partly because I have this week off so doing a lot of gaming and its hot enough already, partly because I'm trying to keep the fan noise down (don't want to be...

Aside from room-scale VR to rival the holodeck, I think this beast would live there somewhere:
