OOH! Thanks, I'll do that then. Check my PSU has an output port available, and if it does, get another cable. I'm glad you pointed that out, it hadn't crossed my mind. It does make sense though, you don't want a big heavy stiff cable if a lighter one is all that's required.

No spare PCIe cable in the box, I already had a look. Every other type of cable, but not that one 🙁 The Quick Start Guide, which is generic so doesn't say specifically, but does say don't use a splitter on 1 power cable to a 2 socket card. I'm guessing the same applies to a 3 socket card, ie 3...

It arrived safely, but I wasn't home. That was a disastrous week altogether that one. But anyway, the Royal Mail redelivered it this morning. I've physically installed it, and  then noticed it has 3 x 8pin PCIe power sockets. I take it this means it requires all 3 sockets to be powered, directly...

Well I haven't noticed the prices dropping, so I've just hit the button on fleabay to buy a new, ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900XT OC Edition 20GB. £780 with free postage. I should have it by next weekend. There were pre-owned cards available, at a considerably lower price. I decided not to take...

Festive plans:- Christmas Day, going to see my daughter, grandkids and SOL for Xmas Dinner, gifts, etc, in Cumbernauld, with my mom. The rest of the family will be doing their usual Christmas Day things. Boxing Day, the whole family descends on my mothers house for most of the day, including...

Still playing Days Gone, but now playing the hardest setting. I'll probably play it again for a direct comparison between GPUs. Also in my library are; Star Wars Fallen Order and Squadrons, Hitman 3, 2, The Witcher 3, 2 and 1, Assassins Creed (complete suite), Horizon Zero Dawn, Tomb Raider...

When I bought my PCS build, about a year ago, I installed a 2070 Super. The plan always being to upgrade that in the 'near' future. Well I think this is the future point I had in mind. I've got a Gigabyte M34WQ monitor, 144Hz, 3440 x 1440p superwide, which is great and probably won't be...

I've got an M34WQ, on advise from Martinr and others. It's a flat screen and I personally wouldn't recommend anything wider. It isn't quite wide enough for 2 full windows side by side (on 3440), but very close to that. Either overlap them slightly or have them slightly narrower. It's 144MHz...

I thought that would be the case, but thought I'd ask anyway. Don't ask, won't get. Ask, may or may not get :)

This is about my old computer, not a PCS build. I apologise if this is too naughty, just tell me I'll delete it. Old computer specs in my sig. I gave my daughter and family my old computer, the complete set-up including monitor. It worked fine for a couple of months, then developed a problem...

Took me a moment or 2 :ROFLMAO:

I have, a friend of mine. She's a bit odd though 😂

Valve Complete Pack on Steam for £5.33 https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/232/?snr=1_4_600__137

So I see 🤔 I'm sure it'll come round on sale again soon. Be brave ;)

Hmmm, it looks like AC Valhalla is back up to £50 (less a bit of change) already. I must have got in at just the right time. I'm afraid I didn't post immediately, I didn't think of it until the next day. Sorry :cry:

Ah, right, got it. As each AC game is a stand alone game I think, each game will want its own DX9 files. Although having said that, the rebooted Tomb Raider games are stand alone games and I didn't notice them having individual DX9, or anything else, files. I'll just leave it as it is. Ref...

I bought the whole franchise of Assassinss Creed games off Steam recently, and found that my Games Drive wasn't big enough 😲 So I bought another drive, double the size, from 1TB to a 2TB NVMe. Hoping to save time, I copied my game drive onto another drive, took out the small one, fitted the...

I just bought the whole Assassins Creed series, offer £75 on Steam for 11 games. Seemed like a good deal to me :D I'd put A C Valhalla on my wishlist. It came up on offer for £5 and change. Which then led me to the rest :rolleyes:

3.5" floppies mate :) 5.25" you only ever bought single sided, and then clipped the notch to turn them into double sided 😂 I couldn't afford a 5.25" floppy drive, my Commodore 64 had a cassette drive, talk about slow............... :ROFLMAO:

What was the max download speed of dial-up? I think I remember 512Kb/sec, but it was a long time ago. We didn't even have CD's back then, so games, and other programs, were on floppy discs (plural). 1.44MB per disc. MS DOS 6.2 was on 3 floppies, Windows 3.1 was on 6. I've still got the...
