    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Help! Can't get any display output from new PC

    Ok, that has sorted it, but the GFX card seems to be damaged -- the 'catch' part of the board was broken in the catch lock on the MB and there is a dent in the GFX casing at the same point. I think I'm going to be OK, though, as damage looks superficial.,

    Yes, Monitor is on and in standby before I try and start the PC. Monitor is also set to pick up the correct input channel -- tested on this working PC.

    The GFX cars (Gigabyte) is also drawing power -- it's fans are working and has LED illumination.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Crysis Remastered

    Yup, it is the first one. I believe the success of the remaster is partly what prompted 2 and 3 to be updated.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New pc build build time

    I would expect you'll get this within 4 working weeks, but a lot depends on part availability, number of orders in front of you, etc. I put in an order for a 3080ti system on 18th September and it will be delivered tomorrow (15th October) so pretty much on 20 working days total. Regarding your...

    PCSPECIALIST 4k Monitor suggestions

    Yup. It is larger than you think it will be! I've just had a G9 turn up for my new build (based on a 3080ti) and the monitor is huge -- 115cm from edge to edge. It is in effect two 27" 1440p monitors side by side, but without the bezel. Pixel count comes in at about 10% less than true 4K so you...
