Sounds like a mixed bag at the moment. Do you think Vulkan has the potential to be a direct alternative to OpenGL? I've no idea if one or the other is easier to program for - but given the long life that OpenGL already has had - I guessing it has a much wider and accepted user base? I might...

I meant to ask you Andy regarding the Vulkan support in DOOM. I noticed that option within the settings, but had left it on OpenGL. I simply assumed that any Vulkan 'benefit' would be seen by the AMD users and not by the nVidia camp?

The flip-side of that @Silent_Scone - is there any benefit in the DP cable being shorter? Mine is currently the typical 1.8/2m affair - but the rear of the gfx card is literally about 30cm from the monitor itself. Apart from the obvious aesthetics of being tidier, would there be any image benefits?

I've actually got another issue now - lol. Now that the monitor and 1080 are fully in sync with one another, Geforce Experience wants to try to upscale everything to 4k then have it scaled back to the 1440 resolution. Personally, I think it looks shite - DOOM simply looked like the resolution...

Yep - it was the cable. Swapped it for the one that came with the Asus monitor and 144hz is there to select now. I'd simply thought along the lines of an HDMI cable (for the most part) - it works or it doesn't and that the problem was unlikely to be an inferior cable. Clearly I was wrong! :)

Cheers guys - the cable was just a generic DP cable from Scan - I couldn't recall if I had one at home (which it turns out, I do) - so I bought one at the same time as picking up the 1080. Could be that that doesn't support 144hz? @Gareth - I did try using the menu options on the monitor...

@Silent_Scone @SharkyUK @Gareth @Addicted @welshname Right chaps - what obvious thing am I missing? I've got an Asus PG278Q G-Sync monitor that when connected to my previous GTX 690, was more than happy to be set at 144hz. I picked up the GTX 1080 last week - connected up the DisplayPort cable...

Hahaha! You're a clone of me! Literally tried about 5 minutes of Witcher 3 - and held off when I knew I'd be upgrading. Looking forward to it :)

I guess it's the added security of a warranty too? A colleague at work has had his 970 based system water-cooled for quite some time. He said the build was half the fun of having it water-cooled in the first place. I guess a lot of people simply don't get that or CBA. Sorry, yeah - there are...

For me it was just over a month wait - I pre-ordered it on the 3rd June. The stock came and went straight away through Scan - even after I received the text alert that it had arrived, the ETA on their website was switched to the 15th July. @Silent_Scone - have you seen the price of the...

1080 FTW....... is, erm, FTW! :cool:

Hopefully after all that effort, the owner will pull away from the bushes and branches that caused havoc on the passenger side. You just know that won't happen.... :P

I'd agree with Andy here. You're really going to be scraping the barrel in terms of overall performance for that kind of money. You can get lucky and find someone selling kit that they don't really know the value of - but personally I'd hang fire and wait until you could muster £600-£700. That...

Does sound a good spec for the money - will be interesting to see what you think of it. Sticking with AMD, I can't believe how much money these have haemorrhaged - for a £1,300+ card from 2014. Just a shame you need your own Sellafield to power the bloody thing...

I've got the 5th July as quoted by Scan. Not getting my hopes up - these FTW versions seem like a Holy Grail. Twin BIOS win... :tongueout:

Miss it - got some more elsewhere, if I can remember where! :blush: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/over-10-years-in-waiting-and-my-day-finally-arrives.619953/

You know when Evos have got under your skin when you see ropey examples and you still get that 'pang' of wanting it! Oh how I'd love to be able to get a minty Scotia White VI in my mitts again...

Acid is a great colour when viewed up close. But knocking on for £40k -especially once the urgent work needs doing to it? Nice. But not that nice.

Ah - sounds good if you need an all-rounder, then. There is the option of outputting the image to a bigger monitor/TV - but I guess you're defeating the benefit of a laptop in the first place, doing that. One thing I've started to see creeping back in popularity are the docking stations. A...

Took a punt on Grim Dawn. Supposed to be quite good from the reviews. http://www.grimdawn.com/

Looks, s'alright..... I guess. ;)

Apart from the obvious 'gaming laptop' considerations - I'd have to ask whether or not you needed it after stating "...sold as I didn't have the time to use it and was devaluating day by day" Are you likely to use this any more just because it's portable? Just an observation....

Decidedly average sale so far.

I don't 'think' there's any difference in the boot lids - even through to the V6 model. The only difference I'm aware of is that the 182 Trophy and V6 models use shorter struts as they have larger spoilers on top and the aerial stem would hit it, otherwise. Don't take my word as gospel though...

Just had my remote delivered for the PC. It's at the far side on my desk at the minute - so this will make it a little easier to switch on/off - in theory.... ;) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019OBKWBC/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Exactly what you need in a driver when s**t like that happens on track. He's clearly aware of looking around him and in the mirror and not panicking. Good effort - a shame he didn't have the space to save it.

How rough is 'rough'? They aren't the smoothest of engines, but I actually like them for that.

The same thought had crossed my mind if it had been yours! :)

Has that taken a clout from the underneath? Maybe the knock was enough to crack or split the original paint coating and once that opening started to get wet - you were on a downhill slope. I hope you manage to get it sorted!

The full Company of Heroes 2 (with all the DLC included) is in the current Steam sale at £10.74.... http://store.steampowered.com/sub/84759/
