    Jeez what CPU are you running? Edit: pcie Gen 3.0 was a thing in 2010 so you mobo must be pre 2010?
  2. Kirky2k15
    Have you overclocked it? If so put it back to stock and if it still does it then - well its time to RMA if under warranty or buy a new GPU
  3. Kirky2k15
    Those are artefacts - could be a sign that your GPU is over heating or you have bad drivers or its about to die

    I had a 4790k - is yours a non-K? I didn't know they did a non-k for the 4790 if so. I paired mine with a vega 56 but i did start to get the impression it was being held back slightly by my cpu looking at what other people's scores were on benchmarks... people with 9900ks and ryzen 5 3600s were scoring much higher than me with my 4790k overclocked to 4.5ghz on air

    I'm interested to know about how you've got that SM961 working... Pretty sure 4th gen mobos didn't run at x4 pcie lanes for nvme drives Are you running it on a riser card mounted to a 16x slot or something?

    Not on Virgin are you
  7. Kirky2k15
    you can get MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB MECH OC Video Card for €416.80

    its worth noting that your router or whatever is transmitting your wifi signal needs to support 5ghz bands as well as whatever device is receiving the signal

    g5 is the 15 inch g7 is the 17 inch - they don't do a g7 15 inch
  10. Kirky2k15
    Get the G7 with the same spec - it's a 17 inch and has better cooling - its also the laptop I've got so I can highly recommend it
  11. Kirky2k15
    Sounds to me like you've ran out of PCIe lanes - I noticed you have an NVMe drive installed that will be using up 4 lanes but intel 6700k have 16 lanes then the motherboard itself should have 16 so i have no idea why your gpu is only using 4 - i wouldn't worry too much about noticing any performance difference from x4 to x8 to x16 though.
  12. Kirky2k15
    Are you actually running anything when you open GPU-Z? - IIRC, your GPU needs to have some load on it for it to be able to report the PCIe lanes in use correctly. Usually it reports x8 at idle then x16 when under load
  13. Kirky2k15
    Dell G5 range should meet your spec and price with a 1660ti

    Time to upgrade your old monitor then
  15. Kirky2k15
    is your second monitor newer? most monitor within the last 5 years or so have multiple hdmi and DP ports some even have DVI and god forbid, VGA
  16. Kirky2k15
    Can't you just use separate cables for each piece of hardware connected to it. EG DP for your PC, HDMI for your PS4 and I assume switch then just press the input button on your monitor to switch between everything and disable auto input.

    580 is a bit weak - sacrifice a bit from the other less performance gaining components such as psu and invest that into the best GPU you can afford for your budget.
  18. Kirky2k15
    don't forget AHCI M.2 drives although these are thin on the ground
  19. Kirky2k15
    How much is it?? Looks like a direct competitor to pc specialist who are usually cheaper...
  20. Kirky2k15
    Just use MSI Afterburner if you don't like AMD's Adrenalin software
  21. Kirky2k15
    There are a lot of forum posts about setting a very slight over clock to prevent it black screening on you The issue appears to be AMD's drivers as they set the memory frequency too low when idling so setting a very mild over clock prevents it from running at its lowest state and therefore never crashing. i had similar problems with my Vega 56.....
  22. Kirky2k15
    I would try and go 3000 series ryzen and an ASUS b450 mobo if I could because SOME ASUS boards support PCIe gen 4 - just thinking about some future proofing...
  23. Kirky2k15
    Good but the AMD CPU isn't that great Try to find similar but with a 9750h I'd recommend Dell G7 7790 or the 15.6" equivalent
  24. Kirky2k15
    why do you need 128GB of ram and why 2x 2080s? Why not one 2080ti?
  25. Kirky2k15
    Yuk! A John Lewis special! Good luck gaming on that! It doesn't even have a discrete GPU Build one your self for the same money!
