    Actually if anyone wants a steam code for devil may cry 5 and resident evil 2 make me an offer. Think you need to have an rx570 or 580 in your system

    Is there a PC store in Dublin with normal prices which have stock on the spot? A friend of mine is looking for a last minute gift, a RX580.

    Looks like it's primarily aimed at laptops. Interesting all the same.

    My suspicion is that that'll just be the start. Mobile devices are the low hanging fruit when it comes to mixing and matching. Long-term, I expect this to show up in desktop architectures from Intel as a direct 'our package is better' answer to Ryzen's design.

    As per Geizhals price history, they've only been going up in price since August/September

    If you're looking to upgrade, check with your motherboard vendor if it supports i5-9600K / i7-9700K

    I'll be getting a new motherboard and ram too. I'll probably just splash out on the current price on either 8700k or 9700k. I'm upgrading from a 3570k and hope for it to last me another 5 years like my faithful 3570k did :)

    Why not get a Ryzen 2600/2700 instead?

    That socket is good for another 2 years at least (i.e. Ryzen 3000-series will slot right in) and tbh you're better off spending on a good GPU than worrying about your CPU these days.

    I'm still undecided really, but am a little bit of an Intel fanboy.

    I have a 1080Ti so I'm good in the gpu department but the 3570k is currently bottlenecking me hence why I'm currently looking to upgrade.

    Agreed, use them for the weekly shop, and spend the cash saved on tech goodness, that's what I do. Shame they are capped at €500 a year tax free :( It used to be soo much better many moons ago.

    Ah ok, Intel seems like it's for you then.

    Unless you want to wait it out until CES (January 8th-12th) to see what metrics/release date AMD 3000 brings.

    Just tried it on my Gaming X 1080, average OC its said was 97Mhz and the dominant limiter is power. I've had 100Mhz manually applied to mine with no issues since I bought it. Never bothered going higher.

    Testing it added 113Mhz with temps around mid 70s.

    I haven't looked into this yet but wondering does this work well with 1070ti cards.
    Something to do with clocks locked on 1070ti cards to 1070 card levels unless you run something from the manufacturer to unlock...

    Dont know. Didnt hear anything about that happening.

    It is still in beta though so maybe just avoid it till full release.
