    [SOLVED] Can anyone share their experience with an i9 12900k

    Hey guys, I am meant to be getting a pre-built soon with an i9 12900k soon. However, I just wanted to ask from people here, who have the CPU, what their experience has been like with it so far? How do the games perform, are you noticing too much power usage when gaming, and how it is working...

    [SOLVED] New PC build is only coming with Win 11, should I stick with it or get them to downgrade to Win 10

    Thanks! Yeah went with that for now, the sale guy recommended it as well, as it needs Core Scheduling for that CPU which Win 11 has? And will follow your advice, I will try and slowly bring things over in that case :)

    [SOLVED] New PC build is only coming with Win 11, should I stick with it or get them to downgrade to Win 10

    Hey everyone, hope you're all well. I am getting a relatively beefy PC from Scan soon: Z690 A Gaming D4 i9 12900K 32GB ram, RTX 3080, etc... Am I better off keeping Windows 11 for this build to future proof it or do you guys think it's worth asking for Win 10. I am not too up to date on how...

    [SOLVED] Moving my hard drives to a new PC

    Thank you! Yeah that does sound sensible then, and I definitely want my brother to get a fully working PC out the box. Yeah I only have some games and stuff preinstalled on these hard drives, some Unreal Engine files maybe. Assume I can just search from them from their launchers and not have to...

    [SOLVED] What is the difference between these EVGA and Asus RTX 3080 cards?

    Ah so is it that one of them is basically more of an overclocked variant in that case? Well as for my specs, I plan on basically rebuilding my pc but keep the same case, ram, cooler and hard drives, and just upgrade Motherboard CPU and graphics card instead. At the moment I have the following...

    [SOLVED] What is the difference between these EVGA and Asus RTX 3080 cards?

    Hey guys, so I am asking this more for my knowledge, I was looking at Overclockers UK and they had two different cards, one is: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-geforce-rtx-3080-rog-strix-gaming-10gb-gddr6x-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-44m-as.html And the other one is...

    [SOLVED] Given my Specs, what's the best choice of RTX-30XX cards?

    Whilst that might be true, you might want to account for the fact that not everything will be well optimised, both Horizon and Avengers have had issues currently for example, and anything can happen in the coming years, so a little extra power might help! Like sure lets say a 3080 will do...

    [SOLVED] Given my Specs, what's the best choice of RTX-30XX cards?

    I think your CPU is good, and you have 8 core and 16 thread support which future games will probably require I am not sure how good AMD cpus are with overclocking, but maybe see if you can get more juice out of it, but I think it's still pretty cool Motherboard and stuff looks nice too, and you...

    [SOLVED] Just need to know a thing

    You mean Origin PC? If you buy the full game, you should not have to pay any monthly fees or subscriptions, those are only if you buy EA Access subscription and use that to play Fifa 20 instead. Think of Origin as Steam basically, where once you buy a game it's yours to download and play...

    Discussion NVIDIA Ampere RTX3000 series Discussion Thread(Updated Launch Specs)

    @Phaaze88 I think both you and @King Dranzer do mention some interesting points. I will definitely wait and see how the benchmarks come out, and how much better performance I can get on a different CPU. If it is still quite impressive with the 6700K and the reviews are good, I might just get...
