    I don't play warzone but this video might help you. I know it says ryzen 5, but you never know, the same tweak might work on 7 - can't hurt to try.

    PCSPECIALIST G-SYNC question - AMD or NVIDIA?

    OK thanks all. I'm hoping the system lasts me 5+ years so in 5 years time I might have a different / better monitor so hence thinking about the 3080 at this time. I was asking about the AMD simply because that option is available in the UPGRADE panel on PCS, but of course the 30xx are not. I'm...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC GPU cables not right help!

    Once you have found the cable and attached it to the card and PSU, I would report this back to PCS, as the builder should really know that these latest cards are power hungry and they should be putting two cables in there and not use the little extra pig tail cable (yes it makes cable management...

    PCSPECIALIST G-SYNC question - AMD or NVIDIA?

    HI all With my old system I7-4470 / GTX 1080 I had this monitor (new a couple of years ago) -- ASUS ROG PG279Q (2560x1440), but that PC died last november, so I bought a new one -- initial specs below (but had some better tweaks since then, e.g. 2 x M.2 drives due to recommendations here). Due...

    PCSPECIALIST Skyblivion PC for Newbie

    What is your current PC, do you have one? to play Skyblivion you will need to purchase the Skyrim Game, so if your current PC and run skyrim, then it will run the mod as well. However I would recommend a PC that can play skyrim at high or ultra settings as the mod does look really nice. Waiting...

    PCSPECIALIST Original packaging for return doesn’t include instapak protection foam

    Sorry to hijack, you said you ordered original packaging from PCS to send the PC back. Did this cost anything? and how did you order it. I've just got mine other week but the better half is wanting to throw the box away as it takes up a lot of room in our small flat.

    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    Some of the old ones are the best. I've been watching the 2006 - Life on Mars (U.K) on netflix, near end of 2nd season then will move on to "Ashes to Ashes" which is a follow up. It's based on detective from 2006 who has a accident and transport back to 1973. Great soundtrack too if you like...

    PCSPECIALIST Amending order in testing phase.

    However, they might be an amendment cost because it's already been built with the original cpu. But I'm not 100% sure on this. I wasn't even aware you could amend once it's gone into building.

    PCSPECIALIST GPU upgrade

    Taking of GPU power cables... I know the 3080 requires 2x8 pin cables, and from various videos I've watched I get the impression you should you TWO cables, rather than the one with a little pigtail extension. I got my case other day and plan on putting my OLD 1080 in there for now (8+6 pin...

    PCSPECIALIST Promotional Codes

    Yes, I contacted PCS who told me it was AMD. I basically had to stop though due to having to download a validation tool, which on my spare PC would detect an old i7. I registered with AMD, put in my code, then prompted to download tool... Hopefully I manage to get it on saturday then... but...
