    PCSPECIALIST Performance drop when plugged in on Fusion Pro laptop

    What a comprehensive post. Fair play mate! @LucOst As above mate. I would putting money on this being thermal throttling. Check your temps in HWMonitor as advised above.

    PCSPECIALIST textures turn grey when i play games

    I use Arctic MX-5. Its the same thermal paste PCS use. It is a good solid dependable paste for a decent price. There are brands with higher performance such as thermal grizzly but you are obviously paying more for them.

    PCSPECIALIST textures turn grey when i play games

    Yeh your CPU is still over heating. If that's with your fan and pump settings on max you have a problem. My suggestion to try next is repaste the CPU cooler. I agree with @SpyderTracks, right now there is no point looking into the GPU until you have this problem sorted.

    PCSPECIALIST textures turn grey when i play games

    My first step would be to check temps. Could you run HWMonitor at the same time as playing the games. When the graphical glitches happen switch to HWMonitor and take a screen shot. We need to be able to see the CPU and GPU temps.

    PCSPECIALIST 6 Displays?

    Ok so leaving aside the software requirements as that is an unknown the answer I think is no. Going off of NVIDIA's specs for the card it only supports 4 displays. https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/rtx-3050/

    PCSPECIALIST 6 Displays?

    Well this will be an interesting one. For a start what is the simulation software you are using and can you provide recommended specifications for it or a webpage listing its details?

    PCSPECIALIST Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster (Legendary Edition)

    I knew it wasn't ideal but is it really that bad? Does the fact I got it for about £1.85 in the steam sale change the equation?

    PCSPECIALIST W10 and W11 - Direct Storage and Motor Racing Games

    So direct storage will not be available in windows 10 it is only being brought to 11. Microsoft only released the API for direct storage this week so currently no games use it (as far as I am aware). Looking to the future Direct Storage support is basically going to be dependant on whether or...

    PCSPECIALIST Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster (Legendary Edition)

    And there we go. It took me 3 months but I have just finished playing through the legendary edition. Completed ME3 for the first time today. My thoughts on ME3 are mixed as are my thoughts for the entire trilogy. ME3 for better and worse has been further streamlined much like the changes...

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Windows 11 drivers and Control Center?

    I have just got off of the phone with the support guys. There definitely seems to be some sort of confusion their end. The guy on the phone tried to get the W11 drivers and software to upload to my download section, but he said they not where they usually are. I explained that they must have...

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Windows 11 drivers and Control Center?

    Its all in an email trail and my now appear to be locked in to the same rep. Ill see if I can get any better sense on the phone lines later.

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Windows 11 drivers and Control Center?

    It is really odd and, I explained to the rep I wasn't willing to try it for the issues which you have outlined, and I was confused as to why I was being asked to try, as surely they have W11 Valeon software and drivers. The response was that they didn't and they are now requesting them from...

    PCSPECIALIST AMD Strikes Back! 6 New CPU's to Combat Intel

    I get where you are coming from but personally if I were to build a high end gaming tower right now I would be taking a properly cooled 12900k over a 5950X. I get that it takes much more power but the performance gain just can't be ignored. I am still waiting for AMD to come out with the next...

    PCSPECIALIST AMD Strikes Back! 6 New CPU's to Combat Intel

    No matter what you think of Intel you cannot deny that the 12 series CPU's are just ahead. The thing is without AMD's recent innovations you could probably argue that Intel would not have been forced to create a product that does perform so well. You cant even argue the case that Ryzen is...

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Windows 11 drivers and Control Center?

    So I risked it and tried installing CC with W11. No dice. Fortunately it didn't appear to cause any lasting issues it just literally didn't work. So again I wonder what they are installing when they sell Valeons with W11 if they don't have W11 versions of CC.

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Windows 11 drivers and Control Center?

    Maybe. If that was the case surely PCS support would have said though.

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Windows 11 drivers and Control Center?

    I have had an email update from PCS. Surprisingly they don't actually have Windows 11 drivers or control center software for the Valeon, so they have had to request them from Tong Fang. This does beg the question, what on earth do they do when someone orders a Valeon with Windows 11 installed? 🤔
