    Hi - excuse any ignorant or noob questions as l'm only just learning the technical stuff for home networking etc. I have bad connection upstairs where I have my gaming PC and so I'm planning on running an Ethernet cable from the router downstairs (which can't move) upstairs under the carpets /...

    Struggling to find a HDR 1000 monitor

    Hi I am struggling to find a HDR 1000 monitor in Europe/UK…it’s for gaming, can anyone recommend any? Just want a reasonably priced one - if not, anyone got any other suggestions? It’s also to hook up to my gaming laptop. Cheers!

    ‘Use HDR not supported’ / HDR video streaming supported’ confused - monitor query

    Thank you - they both look like great options - I was actually going to say I’d get a TV but Id like a curved monitor. Doubt I’d spend that much though on the Samsung although it looks amazing. I probably wouldn’t look at higher than 32”

    I think I have an issue with my graphics card

    Cheers - I’m not sure if it does use GPU tweak 2 - if that is a separate application I haven’t installed it though…should it be obvious if it uses that? I also tried changing the setting from toms hardware and it’s not helped - the error message came up and I clicked an option and it’s jammed...

    I think I have an issue with my graphics card

    Hi I have an Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop. It has two graphics cards, but the one I utilise for gaming is the AMD Radeon RX 7600S. The laptop swops automatically between cards depending what you’re doing. The laptop has been a dream since I got it in October. A few nights ago I thought I’d see...

    Call of duty black ops Cold War - struggling to find a match?

    Thanks v much - I did think that but thought people had given up on MW3. I was tempted to buy it but didn’t want to waste my money. Cold War is really good. I’ll stick with it…I managed to get into 3 games last night, quicker when plugged in via Ethernet though my NAT had changed from open to...

    Call of duty black ops Cold War - struggling to find a match?

    Hi- I bought BOCW as the new COD reviews aren't great. I'm on pc. I played it online when I first installed it and found a match fairly quickly. Put it down until yesterday and it took me ages to find a game in TDM/kill count. I had to connect via ethernet (which is a pain) and eventually it...

    First time building a PC - can you build it over time?

    Hi - I want to build my first PC however I was hoping to do it over say the next year due to cost. I know it’s obvious that you have to ensure the parts are compatible and work together. However the more I read about building a PC, the more I think there’s a chance certain parts may unexpectedly...
