    Question PSU Cables?

    So I've got round to upgrading my graphics card from a 2060 Super to a 4070 super. Unfortunately when I've gone to install the new card I've realised that the 4070 needs a 12 pin power cable. It comes with an adaptor that splits from the 12 pin into two 8 pin cables. Problem is I only have one...

    Worth buying extra RAM

    I have just recently treated myself to a 980 TI which is working amazingly however I'm still running 8gig of RAM. I was wondering if it would be worth while bumping that up to 16? Would it make much difference with frame rate in game or is 8gig fine for now? Would it have any other major...

    Razer Tiamat 7.1 VS Razer Kraken 7.1

    Personally I would avoid the Tiamat's. I picked up a set a few months ago and was completely underwhelmed. I'm no audiophile but the sound quality was just terrible and the bass almost non-existent. Trying to fit 10 speakers in such a small space really does compromise on quality. There are...

    DayZ Standalone Drops frames Bad on R9 270 and A10-5800k

    I seem to be having the same problem with Dayz lately. I'm using a Radeon R9 280X which plays every other game game fine with 60+ FPS but with dayz in some places I'm only getting around 20. Not sure if this is an optimization issue or something else?

    Far Cry 3

    This is a pretty old game now, while it may have a small number of players still going online I'm guessing most will have moved on to more recent games. If you can wait a little while the sequel, Far Cry 4, is set to be released on the 18th of November.
