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)
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...
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.
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...
One thing I'll say is that the 15.6 recoil is a compelling alternative, which some like Jarrod tech suggest outperform the Fusion chassis. I'd be giving up some screen space which is a big deal, but gaining better thermals and performance.
I believe it's the Tongfang GM5MPHW chassis, although I...
I've read reviews fairly extensively and am fairly confident that there are no better options for a 2070 at this price point. I'd be using it on office mode most of the time, gaming/turbo when I was in a good situation with noise cancelling headphones and a coolpad.
If I wanted a 2060 I'd look...
Hah the budget was supposed to be £1500, but I figured the 2070 super was probably worth it to extend the life of the machine a bit so I am already way over budget.
Planning on using it for gaming, specifically total war and Baldur's Gate 3. The reason I am forking out for a 2070 is I'd like...
Hi there,
Build below. I went for slower ram because as far as I can tell the actual performance difference is realtively small, and a smaller hard drive to save money as I won't have more than 2 games on it at any given time.
Thoughts?
