    PCSPECIALIST January 2022 releases

    Sorry to ask as it's probably in the link etc but I'm having an omg rough day today and honestly can't read for long... Is it confirmed at all that Hitman 3 is going to have that access to previous parts maps/missions deal. I do have 1&2 which did so with installing only 2 but I mean to leave it...

    PCSPECIALIST 12Gb 3080 now on configurator

    No surprise. One of the top comments mentioned how Nvidia's current behaviour is more in line of a company going under, not a massively successful leader. They've always been about cunning stunts though, but they're risking tarnishing themselves... nobody likes the meanest jokes being at their...

    PCSPECIALIST Should I get 1080p or 1440p monitor

    Yes to 1440p. The 3060ti can even punch well above it's traditional low-mid range position in the stack at 3440x1440 (though I'd recommend sticking at 1440p and tweaking settings, which tbh should be done with all games at all resolutions anyway) Imo it's this and the 3070 that are the real...

    PCSPECIALIST 12Gb 3080 now on configurator

    Whu-whyyy? Is this on par with a 3080ti or between the old 3080 and that now... and how close is that performance difference? Trust Nvidia to muddy the waters and further obfuscate the real issues. Nm that 12Gb is the least that the og 3080 should've had.

    PCSPECIALIST AMD 5800X build for gaming with GTX 1070

    Personally, I'd keep the 4000D. It's simply a superior case re cooling. Very reasonable temps for me with some powerful parts and loads (see signature below) while all fans and pump lulling away on quiet mode... yet despite the more comparatively open nature of the case (compared to many...

    PCSPECIALIST AMD 5800X build for gaming with GTX 1070

    Tbf if OP intends to swap his old GPU over he could go with the 4000D (which is a super cool case) buy fans to suit and install those if he feels up to it. Honestly, despite my previously fearing that work it turned out great with a little study, advice and confidence building from the lovely...

    PCSPECIALIST A Close Shave

    No razors for 4 years now. Tbh I started shaving quite early but after 25 years of every 2-3 days it got to being an awful chore. I never got used to those old school razors though and the best all round I found was a twin blade disposable that Tesco have long since withdrawn. I used Gillette...

    PCSPECIALIST Final Space has been [S]cancelled[/S] extended???

    Signed. Haven't even got around to S2 yet but the first was good enough to be worth many cookies.

    PCSPECIALIST The Boys - Season 3

    It's a toss up as to which I'm more keen for tbh, The Boys S3 or Umbrella Academy S3, as both are great and The Boys in particular more Watchmen (best superhero movie ever) like, though I've heard mixed reports on the Watchmen series. What I'd really love would be more of the Netflix Marvel...

    PCSPECIALIST January 2022 releases

    Thing is, I said 2Tb but so far only half of each is filled (even taking into account keeping 10% clear) Plus you wouldn't know I have games installed aside from two folders... and yeah, most of the other icons are for gaming related apps. On the other hand, your screenshot was blinding. All I...

    PCSPECIALIST January 2022 releases

    Ok, you win. I can manage 2.5 Tb for everything rn; Steam, Epic, whatever goes on XBGP/EA Play. The other 1Tb SSD is for... stuff. I have a 500Gb 870 EVO spare but I think I'll pop that in an old system to make it useful for somebody. I actually gave my gf the better share of the SSD's cos I'm...

    PCSPECIALIST January 2022 releases

    Some nice desktops/libraries/organisation methods in here. Must admit I'm pretty OCD about such myself. With this build (which reminds me I've changed things a little so must edit) I originally went with a drive for each of Steam and Epic. Then XBGP came along, with the later addition of EA...

    PCSPECIALIST PC Game Deals!

    Yeah... it's not even close to front and centre like you'd think it would be. I had to go into my account and then benefits etc to see any sign of it. Like I said, I kind of knew about it but forgot. Life, uh, gets in the way (of meaningful trains of thought sticking) Ah well... spilt milk and...

    PCSPECIALIST PC Game Deals!

    Ok, I've a confession to make... You lot just made me have a duh moment. I won't say I didn't know, I mean I heard about it but I clearly forgot before I could bond it into my... brain... but Prime (which I've had for years) does games... and freebies. Huh. Now all I need is for someone to...

    PCSPECIALIST PC Game Deals!

    Just my opinion but 5 is almost on par with 4, and way better than 6. Further, again imo, going wider it's 2 (remake), 7, 4, 5... and then whatever... Haven't played 8 yet, have it but it's down the queue a bit.

    PCSPECIALIST What are my options, please :(

    Which reminds me, doing the same would be safe (warranty-wise) for mine now. Not a PCS model, mind you; an Asus ROG Strix Scar Edition (try saying that one real fast) from 2018 iirc but shouldn't be much different. All I need now is to find a good repasting vid or two and clear the decks for...

    PCSPECIALIST January 2022 releases

    Thus rightly are you known as The Lord of Steam. I find it hard to imagine 100 installed, even if by habit it's a broad range and mix... some current/recent AAA's, some from 5 or so years back, some indies, quite a few genres etc. But I am about to add another 1Tb of NVME and 1Tb of SATA SSD...

    PCSPECIALIST January 2022 releases

    Every time I think again or see threads like this I realise my forgetfulness. There's always one or three I forget to figure in. Thanks to robin h 25 my list just got bigger. So, Warhammer 3 and Hitman 3 are givens, as good as got... and if solid with few issues, Horizon: Forbidden West, Dying...

    PCSPECIALIST A Very Happy New Year

    For me, it's getting back to gaming that isn't uncomfortably seated (on bed or sofa) with an older spec laptop or with gf (as much as it's fun) on the Switch. I took my setup, desk and PC etc apart to move house the last week of September and zip since. I simply got into my grown up, do the...
