I've been on the edge of buying a new system for a LONG time. There just hasn't been enough of a jump in performance/options to pull me away from my 3770k. I've almost taken the plunge so many times that my spec choices has changed dramatically over the course. I'm in no way a huge gamer. I...

Got my HTC Vive on Sunday. I've only had a few hours of play time so far but I cannot believe how good this thing is. It's so immersive I almost put a hole in my ceiling. I was knackered last night after an hour of various games to the point where I'm sore today. If you have any opportunity to...

I was looking to hold off till the next gen of CPUs were released but from reading around it seems it's going to be aimed more at the notebook/tablet market than they are at desktop chips. There's actually a rumour that Coffee Lake is going to be the desktop chip with a likely 6 core offering...

Every now and then I see a thread where someone goes through the configs and just pics everything, complete dreamers IMO... but I'm a dreamer too. What spec, realistically, would you go for if money was no object? I know it's easy to just hit every drop down but keep in mind that even though...

Check out the configs :)

As above, I'm really struggling to nail down which VR I should go for. 2 of the main 3 options are a LOT of money so it's not a decision I'm taking lightly. I have a PS4 and an Octane III to give me options across both platforms which is where the idea of price comes into it. Additionally, we're...

I've got 1 spare code and 1 only so I'm afraid it's first come first served. Who wants it?

Given there's a lot of threads with queries regarding this laptop I thought I would start a thread for us to share tips and experiences. Fan/Power Profiles: There are a couple of options with regards to fan profiles. I've dabbled around with them but I always settle on the "Overclock" option...

I've bought a few games lately and been completely underwhelmed to the point where I've gotten refunds. It's actually happened more often than I've been satisfied with the purchases so it got me wondering if this was commonplace or not? The thing is... these games aren't cheap and it's not as...

Oh my what a complete transformation it is playing this game on the PC. It's absolutely night and day, I honestly can't believe how much better it is. The first person view is just epic, my jaw dropped during the first driving scene. Has it always been available in first person or is this an...

Is anyone else playing this? I've always loved my driving games and I find this absolutely stunning. The realism and the rain effects are just sublime. Additionally, are driving games a little less taxing on GPUs? I'm guessing they are as my 1080 is barely hitting 65% while holding 75fps on...

I've basically spent the last week installing, configuring, re-installing, re-configuring my entire FSX (Microsoft Flight Simulator) install. Now, you may not think of that as a mammoth task but given that I have a whole load of extras to go along with it, it takes a bit of patience. I've...

So, on Friday I received my Octane III. Brief specs are as follows: Intel i7 6700k NVidia GTX1080 16GB HyperX Impact RAM 512GB Samsung SM951 NVMe Drive 1TB Budget SSD 1080p 75hz GSync Screen It was very nicely packed, my little girl helped me out...

The day finally arrived where my laptop is ordered. I've literally been holding on since May for this, to the point where I ordered a 980 (Desktop) Octane II Pro only to cancel it when there were going to be delays. Finally the 4k screens are available so the button was pressed.... Chassis &...

The III Pro is coming :D I did enquire as to any information regarding it as I almost hit the button on the II pro before going on holiday (in fact I did, it was just delayed so I cancelled it). No release information so far and no price information either. Can't wait to see the details...

Built this myself today. You might notice a few customisations from the standard configuration of this particular laptop. Took a lot of time to perfect it. I've done a brief comparison of size with my current laptop and also checked it for size in my new laptop bag.... fits like a glove. It's a...

I've been set on a gaming laptop for months now. I'm ALWAYS on my laptop and never on my desktop, I use it all the time hence why I settled on one. However, being completely ignorant to gaming to any degree I just assumed it was my only real option. That was until I started looking into this...

I've been searching every day for information regarding the new Pascal cards for laptops. It turns out that things might not be quite as rosy as first thought. http://wccftech.com/geforce-gtx-1080m-details-show-up-in-gaming-notebook/ Obviously this is very early information but I thought I...

I've searched around but due to the naming confusion (It's tough to find results for the MXM version of the 980 desktop) I can't really find any comparisons between the 2. From what I've read the specs, other than power, are identical. What does this lead to in the real world other than heat...

I've only been on here a short while but I've noticed a small community of well established members who frequent the forums over my weeks on here. I love the community spirit of forums so please forgive the far left off topic thread. I only really have 3 passions in life, 4 including my work...
