Just think, 24 years ago you could change GB for MB and said exactly the same thing about a Voodoo 3.

Laziness is the trend and that won't change, but remind me in 12 months. We'll see.

But the trend is always more of everything, not less. It may stabilise for a while but for new AAA games going forward 8GB is going to be entry level. For high settings with RT 12-16Gb will be the norm within 12 months.

Probably a bit of both. The decision is easy at the moment for mid range gaming, i.e. buy AMD and force Nvidia to up their game. Unfortunately if you aren't at all technical minded then you may end up buying the wrong card.

Watch the video above. You will have to seriously dial down the settings of some current and most future games due to the VRAM limit of 8GB. Basically in 12 months it will be obsolete for new AAA games.

Captain Scarlet?

You should really have asked for advice before ordering. For instance, the 3070 is a complete waste of money.

Not sure about the liquid cooler. The 7800X3D is quite power efficient and a decent air cooler would suffice and requires no maintenance.

It does depend on use-case though. It wasn't particularly good in production workloads. Fine for gaming though and the power figures are excellent.

I think the 4070 has to have 12GB or it's DOA. The 4060 ti and vanilla are both likely to have only 8GB and therefore will be very difficult to recommend either.

Wouldn't say no to Planet Zoo if you still have it?

Similar here. Mines going to be Starfield.

More cores are usually better for non-gaming applications so I would expect the above laptop to be unsuitable.

Depends what they use it for. Not everyone can afford to chuck a grand at a new PC.

You could stick something like a GTX 1650 in it and the power supply will handle that just fine. You would see close to twice the performance.

Novuna used to be called Hitachi Personal Finance when I used them. I had no problems at all with them back then and PCS have been using them for a very long time.

Cancel the direct debit once you've paid.

32GB of RAM and 16GB of VRAM for 1440p? That's just bonkers. Probably 80% of PCs out there won't be able to play it (at least at that resolution and decent settings). Mine won't.

If you switch hibernate on it only uses 40% of memory size but 100% when disabled, which seems a bit counter intuitive.

Sadly it sounds like the motherboard. I guess it's out of warranty?
