It's a shame that the HDD couldn't be mounted with the label outwards and that the PSU has to be mounted upside down, in a Corsair case. After all, they have decided to make everything visible.
Also, is 16GB of RAM really enough for a £3000 PC? I'd expect all 4 banks to be filled with 8GB sticks, for the extra £90 that it would cost, at retail.
Deus Ex is a beast of a game.
Nice to see Hexus not pulling punches and showing how near-useless SLI (and CF) is at the moment.
/em not a fan of transitional periods.....
Lol..£3K, 5Ghz CPU, 1080SLI..and the performance of the latest Deus Ex game is still a joke.
How did they make it run so bad...oh yes, because you're still using that horribly CPU bound Gfx engine which makes hardly any use of more than 2 cores, that has been crippling your games for nearly 5yrs now.
Get with it Ubisoft, and start using a more up to date, properly multi threaded engine, for all our sakes.
Meanwhile, fans of the Civ series are watching as a team of devs - who are happy to throw every new API feature they can get at their games - implements DX12 for turn-based simulation and still can't get a pleasing level of performance out of it.Quote:

Its not just UBISoft.
ALL devs need to adapt to mGPU and low-level APIs. It's probably going to take a few years :(
Wheres the dvd writer ? . cheap way of backing up data. form over function again ?
To be fair, I don't think the target market for this machine are the frugal.Quote:

I had to stop playing Civ 6 because turn times are so bad. I even upgraded my CPU specifically for that game, and while it slashed 75% off the loading times, turn times were barely improved for early game.
I actually think it has more to do with the quick combat/movement implementation - even with it on, it still plays animations. If they enabled true quick combat/movement, turn times would be quicker
