    Well well well, it’s finally been announced! Due to launch on the 3rd June with a retail price of £1,049, but how does it compare to the 3080 and 3090? Well it’s as close as you can get to the 3090, just with less VRAM, would you say the price is right for this card? A jump from £649 MSRP to...

    Hello :) Purchase isn't for me, is for a friend. They were just about to spend £800 on a laptop with 8GB of 2133MHz RAM and an awful CPU...I just could not allow it!! I've asked them if I can try to find them anything better and they accepted, so here we are. I personally don't know a lot...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Big budget PC builders...assemble to my build!

    So I recently made a post that I'd be wanting to upgrade to a 3090 at some point and was advised to go for the 3080 instead, which is fine by me. I'd also need to upgrade my PSU and also my case for better airflow, which is fine. HOWEVER, today I've received a very pretty looking email from my...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Will the RTX 3090 be beaten?

    Had my PC for about a year now, got a 2070 Super and it's running good! However, in a year or so when hopefully the shortages get...shorter...I'll be looking to sell the 2070 Super and upgrade to the 3090.

    Hey guys! My dad has just purchased a laptop as he wants something better than something from PC World but also something that isn't at all expensive. His budget was around £350 as this is understandable when he only needs it for work - he just needs to have lots of word documents, download...
