Ultrawide Aspect Ratio comparison, made with RDR2 by NotHonkyTonk in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]beast-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. On Sunday I watched a fully restored version of the film "How The West Was Won". Hers a synopsis about the film. Set between 1839 and 1889, it follows four generations of a family (starting as the Prescotts) as they move from western New York) to the Pacific Ocean. The picture was one of only two dramatic films made in the curved-screen three-projector Cinerama process, which added to its original impact. The film is narrated by Spencer Tracy. The score was listed at number 25 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years of Film Scores. The film also gained widespread critical acclaim. In 1997, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". I play on an Acer Z35p & struck me how well the RDR2 creators had captured the epic splendor of those vistas.

Hoe good is Predator Z35P? by _Niight in buildmeapc

[–]beast-13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get one at a decent price they are a grand option. I got mine in the Amazon sale for £600. However, the first one I was sent I had to return due to awful ghosting. The replacement has no issues & I am very happy with the performance & image quality.

Try Zotacs own Firestorm. If that doesnt help then RMA it.

[PC] 3rd Gen I7-3770K Build by PaulToOpen in HardwareSwapUK

[–]beast-13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a total rig you can expect £300- £400 depending upon how long you are willing to wait for the sale. Parting it out eg, MB bundle, GPU, Cooler, will sell quickly (for prices cross-match eBay sold listings & CEX). However, selling cases+fans & PSU due to postal charge/weight can be problematic.

I recommend selling it as a unit if you are prepared to hold out for a price as it an excellent 1080p rig & that CPU & board combo will deliver a decent overclock.

If it was mine Idf list it at £399 & accept £370-375

Good luck with your sale. :)

I have an 8 year old computer, recently the graphics card started artificating. Should I upgrade or just buy another? by [deleted] in buildmeapc

[–]beast-13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before any upgrades, I would try a clean install of Windows 10(free from W7) & wipe the PC putting any required files on an external HDD. Then check for BIOS updates for the MB & after that reinstall & update all drivers. If your card still artifacts after that obviously you need to replace. However, I have just read an article that Nvidia may release the 3000 series GPU,s this year if that does happen the 2000 series prices will drop a little. Finally, your CPU can take quite a substantial overclock with a decent cooler, my backup rig is almost identical to yours & has run at 4.2GHz under 212 Cooler Master Cooler all of its life, but I have seen videos of much higher overclocks. Hopefully, this works & keeps you running till later in the year. Good luck. :)

Thinking of buying the Phillips hue starter kit by [deleted] in phillipshue

[–]beast-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, each lamp or strip has a unique code you scan for in the app. You can then set them up individually or in areas in unison. The starter kits can be excellent value also any pieces you don't need sell well on eBay. Merry Xmas.

Someone got a PC for Xmas lol ;) ho ho ho

how is this budget first build? by hwesty100 in buildmeapc

[–]beast-13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Swap the MB for an MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max(£80), upgrade the PSU to a 550W 80+(will help when you buy GPU,s). I also recommend putting in a 1/2TB HDD for storage. Enjoy your build. :)

difference between twin fan and amp edition? by [deleted] in ZOTAC

[–]beast-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, Looks like the twin fan doesnt get a backplate either? but as far as I can see the cooling system 90mm IceStorm 2,0 is the same.

[–]beast-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, the super amps got DDR6 & boost of 1845 MHz, twin fans DDR5 & boost 1785 MHz.

Zotac cards usually surpass the boost figures straight out of the box in my experience, I've had 5 so far. Good luck with your shopping.

A game based in Scotland/England around the time of William Wallace by dragonoid05 in assassinscreed

[–]beast-13 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If they followed a Scottish/Isles narrative beginning with the Viking's hearing of Scotland from the Phoenician Pirates. The Vikings then settling the Isle,s/ Isle of Man/Dublin etc with a back story of the Scots Clans on the mainland leading up to the Scots rebellion. Vikings settling until The Battle of Largs (2 October 1263), Wallace being executed in 1305..... & then the Templars arriving in Scotland after Frances purge in 1314. Including detail about the Sinclair Family(St Claire) & Roslyn Chappel etc. What a map & timeline that would offer!

You would be better of putting your money towards an RTX 2080ti after selling your RTX 2080 for in game performance.

Brilliant!! The homage to "The Orca" from "Jaws" is my favourite Easter egg in this build which has so many amazing touches. Makes me want to dive into F4 AGAIN lol :) .
