    PCSPECIALIST VR Headset advice

    I was pondering VR for Assetto Corsa and Elite - both of which seem to be on the lower end of demanding. I'll have to look into what would be needed a little more carefully though me thinks. Good info above - thanks Spyder. (y)

    PCSPECIALIST VR Headset advice

    Interesting Mr C, thanks! So, with the current Oculus S you're needing a card that can easily run 1440p on two screen at a consistent 80 FPS or greater I guess?? I can see how any tearing or dropped frames would not be a nice experience when you're moving your head around. 🤢

    PCSPECIALIST VR Headset advice

    The Oculus Rift S minimum specs seem to suggest the 2060 would work well - and a few RTX 2060 benchmarks here, admittedly for the older version headset, seem to be relatively usable..... but I'll accede to higher knowledge on this topic ultimately?

    So - the PCS M.2's are made by Netac - there is no TBW or warranty info on their site - which is no surprise. However...... I can see that the Netac drives use MLC and TLC technology in their 3D NAND flash depending on which capacity drive your looking at. I still can't tell which drives use...

    Brill info @Bigfoot - I have often wondered about the TBW for the PCS drive - I looked up the brand previously and there was a thread here which mentioned which company made them too - I'll look it up again and see what info I can find...... (y)

    PCSPECIALIST First PC

    I spent a year in Manchester in a heatwave. My memory of the weather in that direction is tropical. Is that not correct? That question has about 20 words but would need at least that many paragraphs to explain properly! :D Suffice to say that you will see 4.6 GHz (actually more like 4.65) for...

    PCSPECIALIST New ATX 10 Pin power plug for PSU's and Motherboards

    Yes that's very true. No sign of it in any leaked info yet at least. 100% correct I expect! Change always hurts - even when it's for the better.....

    PCSPECIALIST New ATX 10 Pin power plug for PSU's and Motherboards

    Just thinking about this some more - it strikes me as a bit like the Apple scenario - where you invest in tech to keep you going through the years - only for a standard to change which renders everything you have useless. If you have a big PSU which you have bought for future-proofing, then you...

    PCSPECIALIST New ATX 10 Pin power plug for PSU's and Motherboards

    This might have been discussed already - but just interested to see everyones take on this? The standard 24 pin ATX power connector was to be replaced with a new ATX12V0 connector which has only 10 pins. The idea seems to be to have just a single power supply from the PSU and to allow the...

    I don't have the stock cooler @AgentCooper, but do have an 'upgrade' to a lower end tower air cooler with better cooling capability. @Andy78 - without any overclocking or anything like that - the new Gen Ryzen CPU's naturally boost according to the load they are under, up to a max limit of...

    PCSPECIALIST AMD AM5 chipset details leak - new socket

    I was reading about some initial info the other day. I'm surprised at the lack of PCIe 5.0 support I must say - even if it was just to be on the X670 boards. Apart from the new CPU's it will just be DDR5 as a new offering over existing chipset series. Having said that, the potential 25% IPC...

    PCSPECIALIST Issues with Sound

    Finally found the surround sound settings. Looking at it I unfortunately think it might make no difference but might still be worth a shot: Right click on the speaker icon on right side of the taskbar and click "Open Sound Settings" Then click on "Sound Control Panel" Then select the playback...

    PCSPECIALIST Elite Dangerous - Odyssey on the Horizon

    Wasn't there a similar screw up and apology with a launch years ago? Or am I just thinking of the interminable delay in getting Elite: Dangerous up and running in the first place?
