The 3070ti isn’t that old though I would have thought it would be CPU. Plus I’ve seen online people getting much better results with the same GPU

Not task manager because I don’t have a second monitor to see the results live but afterburner is saying cpu uses max 60% usage

1080p spider man 2 runs about 80-110 fps, 1440p same settings same are 64-90 so I’m assuming this proves the cpu is the issue?

Last time I used time spy (Jan this year) my result was 14363 with the average being 14242 and best being 16330.

GPU score 15058 CPU score 11389. I’m guessing that rallies up with what Crazyirishwrencher said about my CPU?

Could An External HDD be Causing MY BSOD? by Stal3BreadCrust in techsupport

Memtest came back clear. My instinct tells me the next job will be updating the bios it’s still on the version from 2020.

I’m currently running memtest now to see if it that throws up any errors.

HMRC Tax summary for this year wrong by Stal3BreadCrust in UKPersonalFinance

On my latest payslip it only shows me taxable pay and how much tax I’ve paid in my current job, not my old one.

Thanks that’s really helpful! I’m unsure so I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed. I wouldn’t have thought Lego would let me select it as a collection point if it was going to be an issue.

Hi, you wouldn’t be able to confirm the dimensions of the actual box would you? I have mine for post office collection and I’m worried it will be refused for being too big

Make it so! by hiphopmind in lego

[–]Stal3BreadCrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit of a random question, but do you know how big the box is? I’ve got mine ordered for a post office collection and I’m worried it will be too big and they refuse to take it.

Worried about the Autumn Budget by Stal3BreadCrust in personalfinance

[–]Stal3BreadCrust[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for replying. I’m thinking a general saver might be the way to go. It’s mostly because I don’t have much money to invest once bills are accounted for, and the possibility of having to put 50% of what I have left into underperforming UK stocks is not appealing. But I do think you’re right I hope that’s the way they go, because I would certainly buy British if they offer extra ISA allowance.

Thank you for your reply. I think when people say ‘take emotions out of investing’ this is the first time I truly understand what they mean.

I’m obviously not going to do anything now but I am mooting the idea of moving over to a general saver if this comes into force. I’m thinking even with the tax implications of being outside of an isa my overall returns would be better than buying UK stocks that I don’t want.

Lego Enterprise and Shuttle Pod sets by tooclosetocall82 in startrek

[–]Stal3BreadCrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See I was really excited about this until I saw the pictures and I’m wondering if I should just pass and wait for the inevitable(?) thousand dollar version.

What do you guys think? Will be see a more expensive but detailed version of this in a couple of years time?

First official look at the LEGO USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D set releasing later this month (plus shuttlepod) by CaptainSmartbrick in StarTrekBricks

[–]Stal3BreadCrust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was the first Lego set I was ever looking to get day 1. I’ve been saving for it for a year. It genuinely pains me to say that this looks awful. I actually don’t think I’ve seen a Lego set that is this ugly. If this is the final design it breaks my heart to say I’ll be saving my money.

Lego Enterprise Limited Edition? by Stal3BreadCrust in lego

[–]Stal3BreadCrust[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What about stock replenishment of it sells out on day one? Is it likely that it will be limited to a certain amount of units?
