New notebook

I need something that can fit a 2.5" hdd in addition to a ssd, has 5g wifi, at least 1080p display, and its insides are fairly average so that it can run games like warthunder on low details. Its basically a notebook for traveling and...

Re: Preliminary research on my rig upgrade

So I did a little performance test... I have two screens, one is 2560x1440px plus a 1920x1080px. I launched IL-2 on the big screen with ultra settings (not full ultra, I have it tweaked a bit for spotting reasons) and 144 fps target (dunno what that does as my screen is only 60Hz). Then I started Ci...

Preliminary research on my rig upgrade

Time is slowly coming for me to make an upgrade, but I am not yet sure where. Thing is, I am flying an old-ish T16000 and using a non IR freetrack for viewing. This is getting a bit outdated for the amount of flying I do, question is, where should I put my money? Mind you, I am a student with limite...

Re: Post code lottery - Monitor

Do you want to use it for gaming or just for stuff? If yes, it is worth going into the 144Hz frequency monitors, but they are more expensive. Also check if it has anti flicker, night mode and other stuff that protests the eye, its a must if you plan on spending time on it. PS: try buying one that ha...
