I was looking at the Steam Hardware Survey and just 2% of people game in 4K and 6% at 2560x1440. 65% still play in standard 1080p. 4K is still way too expensive and far too costly in terms of performance on most games. 2K is a nice sweet spot if you have a good GPU - some users would rather play at 140+ frames at 1080p at higher settings rather than 50fps+ on lowered settings at 1440p. I think 1440p gaming will become very popular in PC gaming in the next 3 years especially with quality monitors being so affordable plus improved panel variety, quality and performance so you aren't tied to primarily just to TN's. Hardcore competitive gamers will probably remain behind and lap up the 280hz/360hz new monitors that will be coming into the market. Casual gamers will definitely be looking for 1440p 144hz 1ms IPS type monitors for around the £300-400 mark. High end gaming is definitely not worth it unless you have money to burn and people will always be priced out. The GPU market never moves down in price significantly when new series of cards are released because the old ones are still viable. High end gamers will always have to spend £2000+, midrange is usually £1200-1500 and low end is between £650-1000. The market doesn't change massively even if the tech does.

With my 2 year old 1080ti and one year old i7 8770k I can get 4K in most games and it would be between 30 and 60 frames per second. But forget about raytracing, it can't cope with that. When I recently bought a new monitor I kept to 1440p, with a high refresh rate. I get 120+ frames on most games with ultra settings. For me, that's perfect. Looks great and plays great. I'll look at 4K when raytracing GPUs can hit 100 frames on ultra. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I do too. Maybe cos we have to admit their style of play shook everybody years ago. For me it was more because they had annoying players back then. Ronaldinho, Xavi, etc. Players that really should've been shown the dirt when the time was right to put a tackle in but people seemed to be in too much aura about them. And then there is Messi. I just wish he'd have tried it at another place, it might've have stopped the Ronaldo/Messi debate. I still can't believe Man City blew it last night too. That club is destined not to win it. Didn't think Sterling misses chances like the one in the 85th minute.

Oh my, i think we all bought this randomly one evening didn't we? Then ended up never really ever playing it i'm sure. Happy to have a look at it with you guys!

I don't mind that idea. Although, you'll then see how little i'm doing of late 🤣 Profile link below: Strava Runner Profile | Lee Garratt WWW.STRAVA.COM Lee Garratt is a runner using Strava.

Time to revive this thread maybe? @LordBaguette , @J&B , @Nutcuttlit

I love seeing Barca lose. Ever since they started with the boring tiki taka football they just stopped being entertaining. Hopefully Messi fucks off when his contract ends in 2021 😂 Also, Thomas Müller is still the best player in the world when it comes to movement and positioning. Always at the right place at the right time.

This aged well

Joking aside, I think one or more of you guys ought to do a Idiot’s Guide to 4k / high end gaming...is it worth it, what you need in the way of GPU, when do you need to step up to liquid cooling, how to work out if your CPU is suitable for use with an upgraded GPU, explain the monitor refresh rates, comparison with other video formats e.g. 144k (?), best monitors for use with the upcoming PS5, etc. I know it’s a big ask but I think it would be a great help to many of us here and we could possibly sticky it to use as a Q &A thread @J4MES OX4D @phil bottle @Greboth@crispymorgan @Diddums @BO7H B4RRELS and anyone else I’ve missed

Y'all should use Strava. We can form a club/ group or just follow each other's runs/rides.

Well done @Dan94 & @Baabcat Taking my wife out on a C25K and tonight was her first run to which i said she will be jeffing(run walk) Only did 1.5k in 15 minutes but told her each run the amount of time she will walk will get lower and at times the distance will increase and with the increase so will the walking till she gets to 5k then it will be a matter of time a 5k run with out walking. After we got back from the run i went out on my own for what was supposed to be a 5k run but ended up doing 10k in 55 minutes but need to kick my ass and get back out 3 or 4 times a week as in october i have a half marathon trail event.

The Man Utd game last night was a weird one, probably stressful for fans but they're through.

I just saw a quite sad and pathetic character while watching the film that people possibly wouldn't really be scared of, contrast with the Heath Ledger character from the Christian Bale batman trilogy came across as avreal psychopath, even the one from the TV series worked better imo.

From an FG point of view, a way to bring more people to the community but from a DayZ point of view it gives us more control of the server, plus: 1. We can decide which mods we want to use. 2. Ban cheaters, scripters etc. 3. Whitelist/password it if we feel the need There are more benefits but we do need to weigh up if we want or need to do it, as it will cost both time and money. One place I've looked at it's around £16 a month for a 30 person server. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
