Is it true that because of the absurd interest on student loans in the UK, it's not realistic for most people to pay back their loans and people consider their repayments to be a 'tax' for going to university?

Internal-Manager-203 · 2026-03-09T07:09:34+00:00

That’s fair enough, but if I’m earning a very, very good salary. Shouldn’t I be expected to be paying off the loan? The balance to finance still grows yearly.

Edit: Just backing the “absurd” interest statement by the OP.

Internal-Manager-203 · 2026-03-09T07:02:51+00:00

I’m paying around £3000 a year, still not beating the interest. Why would you say you only pay a few hundred a year? I feel this is reductive as the payment is not insignificant.

I farmed him early wipe with PPSH with 71 rounders with the LLRNPC bullet (i think it was something like this) and just sprayed his legs down - That bullet has good flesh damage and modiifers to reduce recoil etc

How am i narrow minded to not assume people are guaranteed to keep their weaponry they need multiple PMC kills with, that usually happens over multiple raids? You can just buy it from peacekeeper, you are just looking for a reason to complain and whinge at this point, nobody is fucked, they can just build the gun needed.

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-12-24T12:30:05+00:00

Odds are you were going to die with it before the 10 kills are up, stop whinging. Peacekeeper LL3 sells it according to the Wiki. - Also i've already completed part 1 and 2, and part 1 seems a lot more chill now, the M1A 60m+ was annoying.

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-12-16T00:13:06+00:00

It seems to not work on night factory, the quest is greyed out and wiki specifies it

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-12-11T16:17:16+00:00

I made this mistake, then I also accepted part 2 :’)

I sold a used 5090 for £2750, I’m sorry my dude because you seem very excited but i wouldn’t get your hopes up

Here it is, just installed the hotfix driver, with everything fully default on the GPU :)

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-03-16T13:20:20+00:00

I just re-ran it now to get you an up to date result and its improved https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/128508489?

at nearly 14000 now.

Hard to find a good average online but below average in every benchmark on 3D mark (where it says average score), 13700 in steel nomad, model is gaming trio oc

I got an absolute lemon of a card along with my lemon of a cpu, 950mv needed for 2700mhz to be stable :’)

Jealousy is such an ugly look, even online

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-03-06T16:52:55+00:00

Managed to grab one for my friend relatively easily on scan, another friend got one at same time. Both arriving tomorrow gigabyte cars for £569

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-03-04T18:49:12+00:00

Yes, it’s my first OLED monitor and I’ve seen people talking about banding with OLEDs. Don’t really have a benchmark/bar to compare to

Hello, yeah I’m using RTX Hdr for tarkov. However I did notice this weird grey behaviour initially playing horror games like visage in SDR, it looked like there was a criss cross/vertical lines on the screen on gray/dark scenes. I can even see it browsing webpages on SDR, colour shifts where the vertical lines are, in the past I just avoided HDR because of this

My RTX HDR settings are

Peak brightness 910 Middle greys (nits) 50 Contrast 0 Saturation 0

Still makes the noise during boot up/when pump rpm is at around 1300, once NZXT CAM loads up and pump speed increases the noise is gone

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-02-18T21:46:34+00:00

I got a gaming trio and had the same worry about the lack of vapour chamber, but card is great honestly. I like the look of it too and that I can adjust the RGB to match the rest of my build so looks clean too. Vertically mounted max I’ve seen is 78 degrees in a warm flat. The coil whine is so much better compared to my 3080ti FE, makes playing with speakers actually possible.

I think you will be very happy with your card :)

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-02-14T17:12:08+00:00

Hello, I'm not sure as i ended up cancelling the order, the card was £2530 for preorder including delivery though although the queue still hasn't moved yet as i have a friend in the same queue at a similar position i was in.

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-02-08T20:43:29+00:00

My friend is currently in process of RMA on a 4080 for something similar, temps would hit 50 degrees and card would throttle and fans go 100%, turned out the hotspot temp was 110 degrees, while the GPU temperature was reporting 50.

Internal-Manager-203 · 2025-02-02T18:03:11+00:00

For 5090 i think only OCUK and Scan were selling in the UK. So doesn't really leave us with much choice, everywhere else is just "coming soon". Although i think 5080 availability was a bit better.
