    Info The M1 tank engine can use multiple fuels.

    More recently Jaguar showed a concept car which was powered by two gas turbines, the Jaguar CX75: As mentioned above the traditional problem with gas turbines is their inefficiency at idle and the lag in delivering power but the hybrid battery setup counters both as the turbine can recharge...

    RIP: EV's outsold manual transmission cars in the US last quarter

    It's getting increasingly hard to find manuals here in the UK as well with more and more moving to automatic, it's a Mazda6 2.5 I have now but if I want the new Mazda 6 2.5 it's auto only. Similarly a Skoda Superb with the two litre turbo is also auto only and looking at the second hand Skoda...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    I don't like Teslas, electric cars or pick up trucks but I think the Cybertruck looks brilliant, just so different to anything else out there and straight off a sci-fi set. That said I do wonder if they can ever release it without making significant changes, I can't see how the body design is...

    Question New 3900x build for Lightroom, video editing, gaming and VM's

    I found a Fractal Design R6 fit almost perfectly in the area I wanted and offered an optical drive bay and plenty of HDD bays. I'm very impressed with the build, design, looks and the handy range of ports on the top. The final build was as follows: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 9...

    Solved! 4x16GB not on QVL for AMD X570 3900X, is that an issue?

    I went ahead and bought the four sticks of Corsair LPX Vengeance 16GB 3200 ram which I've just finished building the PC with and it's working great, booted up straight away and seems fine with gaming. Thanks again for the prompt assistance which is just what I needed to go ahead with the build.

    Solved! 4x16GB not on QVL for AMD X570 3900X, is that an issue?

    Thanks for the reply and you're right Corsair haven't updated it for the motherboard I want to use. I appreciate the prompt responses and have ordered the memory and the rest of the system, it can be tricky searching online as you're much more likely to find people with issues giving a...

    Solved! 4x16GB not on QVL for AMD X570 3900X, is that an issue?

    I've been going in circles trying to work out compatibility and figured I'd just ask. I'm planning a new system with an AMD 3900x, Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Wifi and two sets of 2 x16GB Vengeance 16GB 3200Mhz memory to give 64GB total. Unfortunately while a single 2x16GB set of ram is shown on...

    Question New 3900x build for Lightroom, video editing, gaming and VM's

    After all that I stupidly hadn't checked the case size and assumed it would fit on the desk but it doesn't and I don't think I'm going to get a mid-tower case that has optical drive bays and a suitable number of HDD bays so it looks like a full tower is the way to go.

    Question New 3900x build for Lightroom, video editing, gaming and VM's

    Thank for your reply, is there any particular case series you would recommend looking at? I'm finding it difficult to identify cases that do what I need as many of them don't have space for optical drives or a decent number of hard drives.

    Question New 3900x build for Lightroom, video editing, gaming and VM's

    I have an old i7 3930K system and I've been waiting to see how 3950x prices looked but although they're now on preorder here they're not showing availability for a couple of months so I'm thinking of going ahead with a 3900x build instead which I'm sure will still be a big upgrade on what I have...

    Using US PC in UK - dual voltage

    Definitely states 50Hz, specifically on the Shuttle it says AC 100-240V, 5A/3A, 60Hz/50Hz.

    Using US PC in UK - dual voltage

    I've read through the sticky thread but would appreciate some confirmation on this. I have four PC's from the US (two Lenovo M57's, two Shuttle SS59G's) which I want to use in the UK, I went to hit the switch to move them to 230V instead of 110V but there's no such switch. The stickers on the...

    What non-gaming Virtual Reality applications are you most interested in?

    As others have said, I think VR is superb for experiences - Valve's the Lab has a few scenic spots you can view in VR and it's incredible how immersive it is particularly Vesper Peak which I've had people scared to moved as they feel like they're on the edge of a mountain. I also think VR could...

    16 vs 32 gbs of ram

    I'm in a similar position with an 8GB X79 system which I always planned to upgrade when I needed it but so far I haven't seen it run out of memory during Vegas encodes, blu-ray encodes, Lightroom/PS work or gaming. It's a bit odd now the GPU has as much memory as the entire system but the ram...

    How old is your primary GPU?

    I've a single AMD 6950 2GB which started off as a pair but its partner died some time back, I haven't been up to much on the PC so thought no point in upgrading but if I can decide between an FE and open air cooler on a GTX 1070 then the PC will have a new GPU shortly. John

    KFA2 Nvidia cards any good? (UK)

    KFA2 Nvidia cards any good? (UK)

    I'm in the UK and on the hunt for a 1070, I've found a couple of KFA2 cards a bit cheaper than the rest (cheapest FE cards here are around £400, the Gigabyte G1 1070 is one of the cheaper custom ones at around £419-£430)...

    Upgrade: 970 or 980 (1080p/60fps/high-ultra)

    That's what I find odd, I expected the 980's to have dropped in price a bit by now but they're still largely around double the price of a 970. Although the 290's have plummeted in price the lack of a decent blower option I think rules them out for me as space in my case is tight so I think a...

    PCI-E riser card problems

    It's definitely a PCI riser, you can't put a PCI-E riser on there as the base slot is PCI. I have put graphics cards in these PC's mainly to get dual link DVI output but the problem is the riser isn't really designed for graphics as there's no airflow for the card and there's virtually no space...

    How does Crossfire handle a failed secondary graphics card?

    It's looking increasingly like it's the second graphics card, I tried Titanfall again tonight with Crossfire disabled and it ran without issue. John

    How does Crossfire handle a failed secondary graphics card?

    I don't think so as both power connectors were still firmly plugged and it's difficult for them to come loose as there's a plastic cover across the top of the graphics cards which clips into place and protects the cards. The cards were still secured at the output end (they have screws rather...

    How does Crossfire handle a failed secondary graphics card?

    I have a pair of AMD 6950's and today out of the blue, the PC stopped booting - it initially powered straight off when I pressed the power button and then when I tried again it switched on and put all fans to full then did nothing else, no output on the monitor and no beep to indicate it had...

    How prevalent are multi-GPU configurations?

    I have a pair of 6950's which I went for at the time as I wanted to be able to game at 1440p at high settings, I'm looking at replacing them now but planning on a single card for now mainly due to cost and noise. John

    [VC]NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, GTX 980 SLI, GTX 970, 3DMark performance

    I've preferred AMD cards for a while but I'm seriously considering Nvidia this time around for their better coolers (assuming the new cards have decent blower units) and better 4K support. I currently have a pair of 6950's and one appears to be failing (or failed), the 290's don't appeal as the...

    [H] SLI vs Crossfire GTX 780 OC 6GB vs. R9 290X 4GB Overclocked at 4K

    I've seen Accell cables mentioned elsewhere when another user was having trouble with an AMD R9 card and the Samsung 4K monitor although I'm not sure if they're available in Europe. For whatever reason, the AMD cards seem to be a lot more sensitive to the cable - the ones tested were both DP...

    [H] SLI vs Crossfire GTX 780 OC 6GB vs. R9 290X 4GB Overclocked at 4K

    It happens with a single 290x (either card) and with crossfire 290x's and it happens with different cables whereas the 760 worked perfectly with each one straight off the bat. The 290x's work fine with the screen over hdmi but at 30Hz. According to one of the cable manufacturers (Lindy)...

    [H] SLI vs Crossfire GTX 780 OC 6GB vs. R9 290X 4GB Overclocked at 4K

    At the moment I'd be more inclined to choose Nvidia for 4K, I've been trying to help a friend who is having issues with 4K on a pair of 290x's and a Samsung U28D590D monitor which is still not working while an Nvidia 760 I have works perfectly with each of the cables. People on this forum don't...

    Sapphire R 290x CF and Samsung 4k U28D590D issues

    The person has tried a variety of drivers and they've all been the same, there's no other issues with the cards (no instability or other similar issues as you'd expect from a bad driver install) so I don't think it's the drivers. This is the forum thread on the Sapphire forums, they're...

    Sapphire R 290x CF and Samsung 4k U28D590D issues

    The friend who owns the monitor also wondered if it was something to do with SST/MST, he's spoken to Lindy and they've said there's known compatibility issues with the monitor (I've asked him to see if they can clarify if it's a graphics card issue as well). They've advised returning the cable...

    Sapphire R 290x CF and Samsung 4k U28D590D issues

    I've a friend with pair of Sapphire R9 290x 4GB cards and a new Samsung U28D590D (28in 4K monitor) which isn't working properly, with the supplied displayport cable (connected displayport to displayport directly) the image is low quality showing constant artifacting and snow effects while an...

    R9 290 Price Rant

    Did you actually check your links before posting? You blatantly didn't check any of mine and you don't even seem to have checked your own, the UK site you've posted shows no 290 stock aside from a couple where the stock checker doesn't work or that one on Scan just as my links showed and I'm...

    R9 290 Price Rant

    Where exactly are you referring to? Definitely not 'all across Europe', 290's are barely anywhere here and they're mostly well over the RRP. I've been checking some of the PC stores in France, Germany and Italy who are also showing little stock and what there is has been priced well over RRP...

    1080p @ 120Hz VS 1440p @ 60Hz

    Your analogy was certainly not perfect, it was completely bizarre - I've never read a discussion about cars that don't have wheels but particularly recently with a few new monitors going wider than 16:9 and in the same class as the 27in 1440p and 120Hz monitors, there's been a few discussions...

    R9 290 Price Rant

    This is not the case in the UK, stock is starting to slowly come in but there's certainly not masses of the cards in Europe - 290's are very rare and the 290x's available are mostly the ones with reference coolers. The 290's available with custom coolers are generally being sold with a huge...

    R9 290 Price Rant

    I'm not finding that the case in the UK, there seems very few 290's and 290x's in stock at big retailers and those that are in stock are reference coolers. The smaller companies that have stock seem to be price gouging, the only Sapphire Tri-X 290 (not even a 290x) in stock on Amazon is a hefty...

    Steam machines official brochure

    Of course Microsoft would like you buy all your software through their store but they don't have a chance of forcing that any time soon on their X86 operating systems as it's also one of their biggest advantages currently. Still it's understandable Valve want to have their own OS they can have...

    Is a AMD R9 270X one of the best midrange?

    I've been keeping an eye on Amazon stock levels on some different graphics card and noticed the stock display is a little wonky. I was going to go for a 270x as it seemed a good midrange card but the lack of cards with a blower type cooler (I could only find one on an HIS card but it's too...

    "New" Alienware X51

    The top level X51 comes with an AMD R9 270 but if you check the options you can choose an R9 270x and an Nvidia 760Ti although I didn't think they sold a 670, only the 660Ti as they mention a few times that they don't support the 670. From reading around people seemed to be running the 670 ok in...

    Good mITX case for MSI's new 17cm N760 2GD5/OC ITX (GeForce GTX 760 GAMING ITX)?

    Useful topic as I was wondering the same when I saw the announcement, I like the look of the Alienware X51 as it's a fairly compact design with the graphics card on a 90 degree riser but can't find anything similar to that to build myself. John
