I don't know if it's an IR camera or what that is, but the face login thing works (when I'm wearing my glasses anyway, it hasn't figured that out yet lol)

Oh the face login thing. Yeah that worked out of the box. Didn't realise that was what you were talking about! @TheMash

Hi, @TheMash, happy to share some thoughts. I had a superb experience with PCS in terms of delivery time and keeping me updated. I had the laptop within 5 working days of order, which I thought was sensational. I ordered on Friday, got it the *following* Saturday. They gave me regular updates...

Okay looks fine so far!

Alright I re-loaded the drivers, put the new nvidia one in there and it all seems fixed now. Will update once I've done some proper testing

Thanks, that's exactly the one I ended up downloading following PCS instructions. Let's see how it goes

Nope still giving me 442.53. PCS responded, told me to reinstall drivers so that's what I'll do now. Will report back, thanks for the advice!

I got the nvidia "geforce experience" app and it says my current driver is the latest "game-ready" app. Should I try to manually install a different driver?

Thanks will do. Again, I'm assuming drivers will be fine with PCS warranty as it would be weird if they were not. If that's not the case someone stop me please lol

Ah okay thanks, shall I go ahead and just download the latest one from the nvidia website? Do I need to do anything special to uninstall the old one? I am assuming installing new graphics drivers won't threaten my warranty in any way.

Nvidia control panel software is saying 442.53, which is what the machine must have come with. I opted for PCS windows and drivers install.

Update: THE DAMN THING CRASHED. Was playing total war and it blue screened, message was something about a "GPU KRNL crash". Upon restart it no longer detects the graphics card, device manager does not list graphics card. I have contacted PCS.

Hi there, Just received my Vyper 17! For the sake of brevity I won't post the full specs, but to cut a long story short it's got a 2070 super, 16gb of the 2666 ram (2x8), 512gb sdd, and the upgraded thermal paste. My impressions are that it is a well built machine that offers unbelievable...

So having seen some very favourable reviews for the Recoil IV chassis recently, I have stepped back to reassess my previous decision to buy a 17 inch Vyper. My budget is a hard £1700 limit, so with 16GB of ram and a 2070 super the two machines are roughly the same price. Is anyone able to...

Thanks, yep I'm now considering the Recoil simply on the basis of better cooling from the thicker chassis. However having looked closer at the performance it seems the benchmark results - timespy etc - are very similar with a sligtht edge going to the vyper, possibly due to a higher thermal...
