Entertainment & Technology / New system time
« Last post by DEViANCE on February 11, 2024, 09:43:46 AM »
Hi all, its been a long time since I thought about this stuff, current system is mostly over 10 years old and I'm well out of the loop on PC stuff these days.


This is what I've got currently.

CPU Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz Socket 1150 6MB Cache

RAM G.Skill 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2400MHz TridentX Memory Kit

Mobo - Asus Z87-Pro Socket 1150 HDMI DVI DisplayPort Motherboard ATX Motherboard

GFX - Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 RAM PCI Expess 256 bit Graphics Card

PSU - Corsair VS550 550 W Active PFC 80 PLUS

I don't think much/any is going to be reusable, possibly the GFX as I don't play many high end games on the PC anymore. Don't know if that PSU is up to running a newer system?

I've always gone for the value/easy overclocking route rather than pure performance what is the best value CPU's these days?

Who's ahead in the intel vs amd battle at the moment?

Any tips/help/advice would be appreciated

Cheers

omg nige you'[re so old :-o

my little brother has a polstar2, he only took me for a quick spin in it, in the dark, and he drives like an old lady.... but seamed really nice and bloody quick, 0-60 in 4.1

he was considering a performance upgrade (optional extra)... but he borrowed my jag once and complained it was too fast 0-60 in 4.8sec so decided to stick with the normal performance of the AWD one, lol

So since the OP, I sold the Prius and leased a Nissan Leaf for a while (the refreshed 64kWh battery model). Can't really fault it. Lovely to drive and beat most things off the lights with its instant, linear acceleration.

Handed it back and I'm now driving a Mitsubishi Grandis Warrior (MPV) which so far has proven to be a luxurious heap of sh*t with neverending problems. The engine light constantly comes on for days at a time and the car alternates between driving fine, or getting no response or power when pressing the right pedal, almost like its 'jammed' somehow despite the pedal moving freely. The Mitsubishi garage have no clue what's wrong after many visits and lots of trial and error BS, so I'm resigning to living with the problem now as its a money pit.

Can't wait to sack off ICE cars and all their BS for good and I'll be going fully electric ASAP.

Mostly for racing games with a wheel and pedals. Did some flying games and star wars squadrons with a HOTAS as well. Used to do some beat sabre and other games that were not seated but its not easy to find the time and/or space to do it.

2016 Range Rover Autobiography (5.0L v8 supercharged)

how was that? I've got a 3.0 v6 sport right now

I keep getting tempted by the super v8 (loved my jag with it)... or going electric

I really like the upright sitting position in the range rover - only bought it because I hurt my back ad it helped
