Simple question; is it worthwhile buying a 5800X3D if I have a X470 Asus Prime Mobo. The PC is mostly used for gaming.

Well after my third cancelled upgrade order (after they told me it would go through) I'm done with Samsung mobile. Been with them for about 5 years upgrading even when the upgrades were marginal and now they've shat on me once too often. Just ordered an iPhone 13 Pro form the UK Apple store on...

Samsung's upgrade programme is a total joke just don't buy from them. I've tried twice and both times had my order cancelled by Samsung. They are absolute s**t. Couldn't organize a pi** up in a brewery. I'm a loyal customer and they treat me like this. I'm not the only one there are thousands...

OK only rumours but from all the "leaks" the S22 seems massively underwhelming compared to the S21. TBH the S21 wasn't a massive upgrade over the S20 but this time around things look worse. Smaller size, smaller battery and same camera what really is the point. Are Samsung losing the plot and...

Usually AMD release a big Adrenaline driver update in December so do you think we'll get one before the new year. Might only have 6800 goodness but what do you think or would like to see?

I think that everyone is aware I'm not a big fan of the new fan curve in the adrenalin drivers. I have decided, after much deliberation, to purchase either the Sapphire 5700XT Pulse or the Powercolor Red Devil although I am definitely leaning towards the Sapphire as my last two cards have been...

Unfortunately my son has got his patience from me which means he has none. He want his new PC for his birthday (tomorrow) or as soon as possible after. He's already told his mum, the boss, I'm getting him one :lol: I'm giving him my CPU, mobo and my old 16gb ram and I've just ordered an AMD 2700...

I'm aware that Zen 2 is going to launch sometime this year but the prices of Zen+ chips are becoming very attractive. I can pick up a 2600X for £168, a 2700 for £215 and a 2700X for £268. I'm also looking at an Asrock B450 Fata1ty K4 (?) for just £75 which would make a vey cheap upgrade from my...

I know its WCCF but it's reporting John Peddie research so it looks genuine. https://wccftech.com/nvidia-amd-discrete-gpu-market-share-q4-2018-report/ Quarter on quarter its down from 25.7% 18.8% and YOY its down from 33.7%. Pretty dire results but basically AMD has nothing new in the...

New driver out. Here are the details. https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-18-10-2

OK let's get out of the way that I don't need to do this, it might appear a sideways/downwards move and I could easily wait for Zen 2 next year. Not bothered about that. I'm in the mood for a new rig and I'm definitely not going Intel after they shafted me with the Z270 and 7700K platform. I...

Here's the link; https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064 Have to say I'm a bit surprised by this bug. How has that happened?? Graphics and memory clocks may remain at higher than expected values after watching a video or using Windows DVR while in game. A...

Seen an offer at Game where if I trade in an iPad Air 2 16gb I can get the xbx1 for £269 or the PS Pro for £169. My iPad is 128gb so should get a bigger discount. Never owned a console but I have a 4K HDR tv and for those prices I might be interested. The XBX1 has 4K BR player so is that worth...

Firstly I'm having zero issues with my current rig and it does what I want it to do admirably. However, I've had my interest piqued by the new Zen+ release and the Ryzen 2600X is definitely interesting me. I'll admit I don't need the extra cores over my 7700K but I'm leaning towards more cores...
