That said, after watching some videos I think this is something my boy will absolutely love, me also having been a massive destruction derby fan back in the day.
I'd go GPU (For extra pretties) as your CPU is still capable of reasonable FPS. I'm currently playing Sea of Thieves on our PC and on Ultra @ 3440x1440 the GPU is running between 85 and 95% @ 100 FPS.
They say that the 1070 is the card for 1440P but if you want 1440P at anything above 100FPS with everything "ultra" a 1080 is required. Then if going 1440P ultra wide you need a Ti to stay at 100 FPS.
Provided you get the stainless steel one it's pretty tough. I've bashed/battered mine off of so many sharp, rusty hard edges in work and its still unmarked.
Managed to finally get to the bottom of this. When I bought the 34" monitor I just reused the display port cable that I had installed into my 27" monitor. Fired the PC up and pressed DELETE to get into BIOS and the same thing happened on the new monitor.
Swapped over to the DP cable that's...
Free time there if you take Clarke's (corner after the chicane) with a later turn in giving you better exit and extra MPGs all the way down the back "straight".
Quick beast though.
Both PCs are now up and running. Mine of right my boy's on the left:
Of course there a wee things needed to finish his setup off. Namely another SSD as I only got him a 250Gb one to get it up and running. As long as theres space for Fortnite and Forza Horizon 3 he'll be happy. I still have my...
With manual the voltage says the same regardless of clock speed but adaptive goes up and down as the clock goes up and down? So adaptive would be best if you can get it to work?
Cheers. Jumped the gun and ordered one this afternoon ?
Bit will be here tomorrow. Can't wait to get it together now. Managed to get a good deal on a 4 month old EVGA 1080 FTW off of some old guy on Gumtree which I collected on the way home from work. Just need a mouse and an SSD and the wee...
Only issue with monitors over TVs is that the built it speakers tend to be utter guff. Not a problem if you use a headset but sepearate speakers are essential if not.
Keep trying to play this but it does my tits in. I keep trying because the wee man wants to play duos but I honestly suck. Its just a kangaroo fest of people bouncing around the map.
Anyone know how to get cross play working? I'd rather play it on PC while my son is on his Xbox. It is possible...
IMO, the game runs as bad as it ever has done on Xbox. I managed to crash twice in a 3 minute spell. Frame rate at the start is single figures also. Played it for the 1st time in a long time on PC last night. What a difference. Managed a 2nd place finish on my first game and only lost as I...
Not the best pic but you get the idea:
Definitely has the PC working hard now. Played about 4 hours of Sea of Thieves on it late last night and it was belting out some serious heat. Ideally I'd like to go back to my 240mm CPU AIO but due to my current RAM modules being too tall I can't. May...
