    PCSPECIALIST Limiting GPU output

    My pre-ordered Asus ROG Strix XG27UQ is due to be delivered in January (or possibly later depending on stock), and for the time being I'm using Samsung C24F390 for both gaming and casual apps. It's a 1080p 60Hz monitor, and given that the RTX 3080 can output a lot more than that, I want to limit...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    And the waiting time might not even change, I asked PCS to change from Intel to AMD after almost a month of being in pre-production (not the best time to ask for advice but later is better than never!), and that didn't influence my waiting time because of the 3080. It may depend on your payment...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    So I ran Substance Designer and opened one of the materials I made a while ago, and it's incredible. I can finally use the ray tracing preview without it taking ages or crashing. I also made it re-render the massive graph of that material into 8k texture resolution, and it does not hesitate to...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    It's here! It arrived right after 7AM (both me and my better half were asleep but I heard the doorbell), which was very unexpected, so now I'm having fun installing Windows updates. But even such basic things like opening folders etc. are so fast compared to my laptop that it's just...

    Can you see 240Hz though? Most humans can't see past 120Hz.

    PCSPECIALIST Zen 3 Tracking thread (5900x/5950x)

    Maybe you should actually write a complaint? Stock shortages are one thing, but broken promises are another, they shouldn't tell you a build date and then not stick to it. Perhaps the customer service people don't have the up to date information from the production team, which is an issue they...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    < £400 is not enough for a monitor suitable to pair with the 3080. I had no idea how monitor pairing works, but I learnt that a card's output is tied to resolution and refresh rate, and 3080 is capable of outputting 144Hz at 4k. It will work perfectly fine with anything less than that, but its...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Just found it funny that apparently they ran out of welcome books too, perhaps it's related to the missing stickers issue from a while ago that pushed everyone's order date to 25th of November and they had to resend the automated emails to correct this. I waited 2 months as I'm still from the...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Despite showing as awaiting dispatch on the order page, I also got a DPD email with an estimated delivery date of Friday, and curiously this email from PCS too: Looks like nothing can avoid stock issues these days...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC for not to seriouse gaming, what do we think.

    If you've been a while in pre-production, it's worth contacting PCS for amending components you can't change yourself in the configurator. I only ended up incidentally posting my build here when I asked about a monitor after approximately a month in pre-production (RTX 3080 is not easy to get)...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I will probably be excited even by Windows booting, I've never even had a regular SSD and now I'm moving to Samsung 980 Pro M.2 drive, it's going to be a huge difference. I don't think much can be happening in the awaiting dispatch stage, so maybe tomorrow or Friday is the day. I'm glad I...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    There are times at work when I basically do nothing else but flex for the whole day... My order is awaiting dispatch now. That spectral PC I ordered a long time ago is finally becoming a tangible being.

    PCSPECIALIST Thinking of dipping my toe into the gaming pool

    If I can recommend something, it'd be moddable games — you can basically turn them into anything you want within the engine limit, and it's just so satisfying to see your own work in the game, even if it's a small script or texture edit... I've spent over 3k hours in Skyrim (out of which only...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I amended on the 5th to 5950X. I believe these are less sought after than the 5900 so perhaps they got a few and that was enough to cover my order.

    PCSPECIALIST Post formatting options (bullets/lists)

    I see the numbered lists but not the bullets for the unordered lists. This is because the ul element is styled with overflow: hidden and padding: 0 (overriding Chrome's default 40px for ul), which hides the bullets. And by the way, while Chrome can be annoying with its bugs and sometimes lack...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    That's weird because I ordered on the 17th at 22:42 and my PC has been in testing since Thursday. I assume it'll be dispatched this week unless there are faulty parts that need to be replaced. Maybe something else in your order is out of stock and delaying it?

    PCSPECIALIST Zen 3 Tracking thread (5900x/5950x)

    Yes, at 22:42 on the 17th. I also amended my order to the 5950 CPU right after 2PM, however not sure how much that matters if they're prioritising orders that have been placed more than 30 days ago (not sure if it's all days or just working days) according to the T&C: 5.2 Your order will be...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I wouldn't mind giving away my code when I get it (I think they are emailed when the PC is dispatched? Not sure), as I wouldn't really play CoD so it'd be a waste if I claimed it.

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Shame that your order got stuck, hopefully you'll get it built soon. If it doesn't happen tomorrow, perhaps there's another part that's out of stock? I will be getting these games: Promotional Item Get Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with select SAMSUNG SSDs! Promotional Item Get FarCry 6 with...
