    PCSPECIALIST Blender Rendering and Fusion 360 Modelling PC

    Much better. The storage gives me the fear and I think the GPU will be a limitation but at least you can upgrade it. Ditch norton ;)

    PCSPECIALIST Blender Rendering and Fusion 360 Modelling PC

    You are making very poor choices based on budget. Unfortunately there's not a lot we can do to advise you if you aren't going to take the advise. You're wanting the leather seats and engine of a Ferrari inside the body and running gear of a 2nd hand Fiat Punto, it's not going to make sense no...

    PCSPECIALIST HDMI vs DVI

    Get a nursing chair. That thing was more comfortable than any gaming chair I've sat in :ROFLMAO: It's got a soft rock too which is perfect when you're losing the will to live over a difficult task.

    PCSPECIALIST Refresh rate vs fps

    Prior to variable refresh tearing could be a mess. The biggest issue would be if the system wasn't powerful enough to fully utilise the monitor. A way to combat this was to lock the frequency of the monitor to what the system could output and then live with the odd stutter. Nowaday, VRR...

    PCSPECIALIST Schrodinger's Warranty!

    I remembered watching it also, and I think there was a follow up, but just thought I would highlight again as I think it's going to be relevant with the latest build options. If the Gigabyte reviews are favourable and perform well at the mid-end I think I'll be switching over. Less of an issue...

    PCSPECIALIST Schrodinger's Warranty!

    This is absolutely hilarious to me. Now.... I absolutely feel for everyone in any way involved in any sort of warranty claim with Asus. This is without doubt one of the best reasons to use a system integrator or even OEM supplier of hardware, as you tend to have a far better warranty response...

    PCSPECIALIST X870/X870E Motherboard Lineup

    Just had a rattle through the below: Seems that Gigabyte is definitely the one to watch. The only catch at the moment is that these are flagship, I want to see mid-range that we would tend to recommend. The only push that I can see is for RAM speed & USB4. They're not to be sniffed at but...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC for 3D modelling

    I was sure I had read it a little while back. Quite clever in the terminology, as always. There are TB4 options, but from what I remember they were fairly premium. Creators being one. My motherboard has TB4, even on the X670, but it also needs configured as such in the BIOS.... I've never really...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC for 3D modelling

    I could be wrong, and please correct me if I am, but I think it only guarantees TB3? That's still great as well, obviously, but I think you need to go premium-mmur for TB4.

    PCSPECIALIST New PC for 3D modelling

    I don't think it'll relate to you in your usage. The only consideration would be dual GPUs down the line as that may limit the M2 quantity. I genuinely wouldn't worry too much. I think for the £ the X870 is a slightly better option for you, but it's down to personal requirements. USB4 is a big...

    PCSPECIALIST New PSVR 2 appears to leave PC VR in the dust

    I'm the same as yourself that way. I'll play with what I have, if what I have isn't good enough then I'll be scouring the net for the best, as saving a fiver at this point is insane. I have a few dongles lying about. Mostly el-cheapos but I'm happy to test and not spend. If the wallet is out...

    PCSPECIALIST New PSVR 2 appears to leave PC VR in the dust

    Did they not back peddle on one of them? Or was that someone else? There was a fairly open yet fairly critical review of certain aspects during the early release. The person then came back with an "I was wrong" response, as it was more down to their setup than the actual tech itself. I love to...

    PCSPECIALIST New PSVR 2 appears to leave PC VR in the dust

    PSVR2 Ordered PC Adapter Ordered Controller Dock Ordered If this comes through I've got all the kit and I'm still £100 better off :cool: Anywhere around £350 I will maintain is a bargain for what you get in that headset.

    PCSPECIALIST New PC for 3D modelling

    It's ridiculous tbh. It's good to have some selection but it's getting far too much nowadays. Having "E" versions of the different models is a nightmare.

    PCSPECIALIST 4090 Gaming PC

    There is a performance increase..... it's just not an £800 performance increase. The 40 series cards aren't a good outlay right now. Below the 80 series is likely the most sensible money as it tends to be a little while before that range is released. The 5090 will typically be first with the...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC for 3D modelling

    Not sure. I think they're comparable though. PCIE5.0 and USB4 are quite compelling in a single unit. Only the Creator offers that and its silly money. Chipset lanes is the real bump which I found a minefield trying to navigate. If you use this M2 you can't use X16, but if you use this one, you...

    PCSPECIALIST 4090 Gaming PC

    Just to respond. I'm not trashing the 4090 at all, it's an absolute monster of a card.... but with the 5090 on the horizon (and the 5080 that will smash the 4090) it's just not a sensible purchase at this time. If you want to be cutting edge and you're willing to pay for it, the top tier card...
