  1. Here are some images I got off of a few YouTube playthroughs (the RE3 demo is free on steam, if you want to check it out yourself), where the hair looks much more, well, hair-like, and much thicker in volume, in my opinion. Hope this helps.
  2. I have a GTX 1660 with 6GB of vram, but I'm experiencing quite distracting problems in a few games, where beards, hair or facial hair, just looks really jagged and ugly (almost like there's no AA). I'm trying to combat this by using the highest settings I can at 1080p, without execeding any VRAM limits if there are any. I try to use the maximum anti-alaising setting, but this issue, still is prevailing. I've used programs such as OCCD and memtest, to test my graphic card's memory, but there doesn't seem to be any problems. I'm running my games off of an SSD, and have installed and reinstalled the games concerned. Here is a link to some example photos from Civ 6 and Resident Evil 3 to demonstrate my problem: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZBzMutbEGfcNn8rF6. I was wandering if anyone here could help me find a solution to my technical issue. Thanks for your time.
  3. Well, I have a 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM drive, which I bought last year for my computer, but after installing most of my games on my 500gb A400 SSD, I feel like the hard drive is lethargic and just generally sluggish. I was think about selling it for about £25, as the RRP is generally around £35. and I would use this money towards a better cooler or towards another 500gb SSD in the future. After the Coronavirus dies off, I'm strongly considering selling it (probably on ebay, but I'm not sure how high the shipping fees would be), but do you think that it would be worth trying to try some kind of 'SSD' cache. I have a B450 motherboard, but AMD seems to be stopping supporting for StoreMI, recommending Enmotus FuzeDrive, which costs about £20(!). Do you think that I should keep it for a bit longer, or sell it and possibly put it towards something else? (The WD Blue 500gb 5SD, is a great price in the UK atm, and for £60/65, I might put my money towards getting one).
  4. My mother wants to upgrade her really old 'home office' PC, so I put together a plan for a Mini ITX 2400G build. I don't really wan't to add a GPU, to compromise on the small form factor design, but I was wondering whether the Vega 11 APU, is capable of two 1080p monitors/ one 4K monitor fine for non -gaming use?
  5. One of my friends (J), isn't really that tech saavy, but wants to join the PCMR (primarily for gaming). He said he had a round about £900 budget, so I put together this list for him, as a start for him to inquire into: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor £119.00 @ Amazon UK Motherboard MSI B450 Gaming Plus ATX AM4 Motherboard £83.25 @ CCL Computers Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory £72.78 @ Aria PC Storage Crucial MX500 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive £41.44 @ Amazon UK Storage Seagate Barracuda Computer 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive £52.50 @ Aria PC Video Card Sapphire Radeon RX 590 8 GB NITRO+ Video Card £203.46 @ Ebuyer Case Corsair SPEC-05 ATX Mid Tower Case £43.99 @ Amazon UK Power Supply Corsair CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply £70.68 @ Amazon UK Wireless Network Adapter Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I PCIe x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi Adapter £25.40 @ CCL Computers Monitor AOC 24V2Q 23.8" 1920x1080 75 Hz Monitor £117.97 @ Ebuyer Keyboard Redragon K552-R KUMARA Wired Gaming Keyboard £45.00 Mouse Logitech G402 Wired Optical Mouse £24.99 @ Amazon UK Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total £900.46 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-08-10 19:31 BST+0100 What do y'all think of this? Any things I should cut down on, or re-adjust the prices any way? I don't think he really needs more than 60/75hz, for the type of games he plays. ,Thanks
  6. In my setup, I've decided for a 2TB HDD, along with an SSD boot drive. I was deciding between the 240gb MX 500 for £40, while the Kingston A400 (480gb) in my country is only £45. Is the DRAM controller significantly worth it? As the double capacity does seem pretty attractive to me.
  7. SLI's basically dead, would definitely recommend re-selling, and getting a 5700 or 2060 Super. Much better value, performance, and compatability, especially for a nice 144hz experience at ultra.
  8. I was wondering if anyone could recommend to me a budgety 23-24" IPS Freesync monitor at 60hz (preferably with speakers, even if they're pretty bad). I''ve been looking into monitors like the (Philips 246E9QJAB/00 23.8" ), but many of the ones I've found have little reviews, don't appear in PCPartPicker, and some seem to have build quality issues, like ones from AOC. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could recommend a £100-ish ($120 USD), thanks.
  9. I have no clue how this topic lasted so long but here is an important piece of information to consider:
  10. What card would you call 'better' at that price. Apart from the Vega 56 with 8GB, no cards until the 2070 come with that much VRAM. I wouldn't either want to have worse upgrade to the 590, which comes no where close.
  11. I was thinking to pick up the 1660TI Windforce for my new build for around £240, but one of my key concerns is the measly 6GB of Vram. I would only be playing at 1920 x 1080, but I wouldn't be upgrading for around 5 years or so. Should I get the Vega 56 for about £40 more, for the 8G Vram, when it performs the same if not worse in non- Vulkan games. What do you think?
  12. I was deciding between two different gaming monitors: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/hqmxFT/aoc-monitor-g2260vwq6 , and the https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/GLm323/acer-sb220q-bi-215-1920x1080-75-hz-monitor-sb220q-bi. They both are 75hz, Freesync with the TN at 1ms, with the IPS at 4ms. They're about the same price at £90 (around US$110 according to Google). My main issue would be the smaller 21.5" size, but what do y'all think? Additionally would you know any 60hz IPS 24/23"s with FreeSync , because that would be a good middle ground, even if it is a bit more expensive. Thanks
  13. Assuming that AMD will continue to suppport AM4 untill R 4000/5000, what do you think would be a safer bet for the long term? A higher tier B450 board (that may be discontinued by Ryzen 5000) or a lower end X470 Board for the same price. I was considering the MSI B450 Tomohawk (for around $110 USD) but I would be interested in any X470 boards you all would consider 'goodish/moderate' for the same price point, as a starting point for my research. X570 seems off the table for now, considering that most of them start of at around $200- 250. Thanks, AC.
