Brings back memory's that.. we used to go to the video shop & rent snes games for my mates console. And even more so.. the game demos you used to get on the magazines! the time I've spent playing the same part of a game over & over as we couldn't afford to just buy games when we wanted. I...

Anyone remember the 'INPUT' magazines? my old man used to get them & think he still has them in their black folders with silver writing! They would have pages & pages of code so you could program your very own pong game (which i did) We also had a module you plugged into the Spectrum that...

My Amiga 500 came with the cartoon classics pack. Captain planet, simpsons, lemmings. I remember the christmas i got that... never thought i'd get one :cool:

I love a bit of retro gaming. I've got an original Playstation & have time crisis with the light gun in the loft (no crt though!) Also a rubber key'd Spectrum 48k An Amiga A500+ somewhere lol (parents loft i think) And an original gameboy, which is the only one i actually use every now & again...

Nice one, thanks for that I’ll pass the details on to her. Cheers lads

Hi All, Anyone know of a decent dent removal company in/around Bristol/South Glos area? My sister just messaged me, someone decided to walk on her bonnet in a carpark last night and leave some feet shaped dents! it doesn't sound like it's creased the metal, so hoping a dent removal company...

Obviously these won't help with your slow BB, but will give you a better wifi coverage throughout your property if it's currently not very good, so will probably give you a better overall experience. Do a speed test next to your ISPs router & then different places in your property & see what...

I've had goodyears on various cars for years, normally the eagle F1 and also the efficient grip or whatever they were called, I've never really had any issues. The only thing i get with mine I which i never really thought much about is this 'skipping' feeling, on a few particular roads i drive...

Just stumbled across this, I've always been happy with the goodyear tyres I've had in the past. However, my old man had 4 new tyres put on his Kadjar last year & was complaining about them when on the motorway, saying it was like the balancing was off but had been checked twice... i thought he...

Try telling these kids to not chase FPS numbers... seems to be a competition! Although i have got through to him now that the monitor is 144Hz so he can limit the games to 144 & it sticks there no matter what which is good. He still has to try it on unlimited fps to see what the numbers show...

Just to give an update. He was a lucky boy & Santa delivered a 5600x cpu & I also got him the sn770 1Tb M.2 I updated the bios & installed the CPU today and Fortnite is a lot better and doesn't seem to have the issue anymore. As has been mentioned, certain games are more cpu than gpu it seems...

I have actually downloaded Afterburner now, so will have a look at that. OS is windows 10, so might be worth looking into the ryzen power plan then regardless of this issue. wasn't aware of that. But then never had an issue with the PC in the past few years. It's only been highlighted now this...

To be fair he isn’t afraid to tinker with it… which is sometimes good sometimes bad. I limited his internet usage on the router quite a while ago…. He soon discovered Mac spoofing by himself the Little sod 😂 This graphics card thing is just a frustration too far for him, as I ordered it for his...

I have run those benchmarking apps which I thought would highlight a lack of power issue? As I have read diffing opinions on psu size, so I put it down to being ok if it’s a decent psu and maybe not so much if it’s a lower quality one. That’s interesting stuff, shows I should be ok if I do...

That’s all we could wish for really, a good step up from the old gpu. I did give it a good clean out when I fitted the 3060, so all fans and cpu heat sink is pretty clear from dust now. PSU wise, it’s a Corsair 550w gold can’t remember the exact model name (I’m out at work currently) so maybe...
