    Question AliExpress SSDs

    Hello Team, I'm running out of storage and I want to get an external drive so I can keep movies, series etc so the drive will not be used in general, rather I will plug it from time to time to transfer the file from the external drive to a PC or Laptop and paste the movie onto the local drive...

    Question Advise on a 21:9 Display

    Hello guys, I'm in the process of building a new PC and I managed to get a 6800XT on a very good price and now I'm going over monitors within my budged (500-600EU).

    Question AMD or Intel for Linux ?

    Yeah I was asking about Linux level of support on Intel vs AMD on the CPU front. I use my PC primarily for gaming and watching movies as my TV is connected to my PC and except watching news on the TV all other content is coming from the PC. I do not use professional SW on my PC, at most I...

    Question AMD or Intel for Linux ?

    Hello Guys, I hope you are all doing well. Before I go to my question I just want to say that I have little to no experience with Linux. So I'm building a new PC at the moment - waiting for hardware to arrive - and I would be running the following: Intel I5-126000KF MSI Z690-A Pro WIFI DDR5...

    [SOLVED] 2080 TI vs RX 6800 ?

    The 5600x is more expensive than the Intel i5-12600kf with less performance, this is why I went with intel. Yes AMD says that you get a benefit in pairing AMD CPU with GPU, but from everything that I have read it's a gimmick. Though I'm a bit concern with tje P and E core design on legacy...

    [SOLVED] 2080 TI vs RX 6800 ?

    Currently on a 1440p setup and looking to purchase a 4K one by the end of the year, this is also a point of financial concern as the money that I save from GPU I will add towards the monitor. There is also the RDNA2 vs Turing. As far as I know DLSS is better than Fidelity FX. Not sure what the...

    [SOLVED] 2080 TI vs RX 6800 ?

    Also something that I forgot to mention, my planned case is Corsair D4000 and the maximum supported GPU length is 36CM whereas the card is 34CM, not sure if this could cause issues or even fit with a front case fan

    [SOLVED] 2080 TI vs RX 6800 ?

    Hello guys, I hope you are doing well. I'm in a bit of dilemma as I can get 2080TI MSI X Trio for 750EU second hand or 6800XT Merc 319 from XFX for 970EU. I'm thin on budget and I'm quite torn as on one hand I'm saving around 30% of the cost, on the other hand it's quite old gpu with no...

    [SOLVED] Sanity check before purchasing full PC ?

    I was planning to buy the same ones as the bundled model to have 5 identical fans. I do not want RGB. I agree that 140 are better and in my current build with fractal design r5 I have 140mm fans but as the GPU price is quite high I don't want to discard the stock ones and this is why I was...

    [SOLVED] Sanity check before purchasing full PC ?

    First, huge thanks for the advice. I would go with Scythe Fuma or Dark Rock Pro as air cooler. On the subject of cooling, any feedback on the fans that come with the Corsair case as I plan to by 3 more to have 3 in the front for intake and 2 at the back for exhaust On the memory side of...

    [SOLVED] Sanity check before purchasing full PC ?

    Hello guys, A friend of mine asked me if I will sell my PC to him and I will use the cache cash to fund a new one - yes I know, not the best of times but I think that sell to purchase ratio is mitigating this a lot :) So this is what I have in mind, any suggestions and advises are welcomed...

    EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti or Gigabyte 1080 G1

    Well, based on my research the increased memory bandwidth on the 1080 should be considered in the long term, as well as the 1080 has a better performance in DX12 due to the bigger textures that are made possible . In 1080P the 1070TI is with no question the better option, but as I mentioned I'm...
