Hello!! Happy 2024 I guess! In this short video I sought to answer the question of if you can use a Thermal Grizzly WireView GPU unit on graphics cards that only have a 6 pin PCI-e connection. 'Wait a mo' I hear you ask, 'what the heck is a WireView?' Well all is explained on...

I found this locally earlier in the year, and seeing as how it had what looked like 'light' graphics card problems I figured I'd try and fix it. This laptop has a trick (well lots actually) up it's sleeve you see - YOU CAN REPLACE THE GRAPHICS CARD.. I know! Right?? Well apparently it isn't as...

The epic hardware battles of the early 2000's claimed many GPU tech houses that couldn't keep up with the superior muscle of Nvidia and Ati. The PowerVR Kyro II was one such fallen soldier. Let's see how it does 22 years later with a system far faster than it was ever expected to run in...

On February of 2011 EA released 'Duty Calls: The Calm Before The Storm' - a playable adgame parody of some of the times most serious shooters. It is a fully playable FREE downloadable game that is very silly, and very short, and was made to advertise Bulletstorm to underscore how it ‘puts the...

A lot of people seem to be looking forward to a Star Wars total conversion. That'll have to wait, but there are plenty of things to get half way at the mo like security guards all wearing storm trooper armour, Imperial flag replacements and dialog changes. Oh - and lightsabers!

It is effectively Skyrim in space. If you like their other games like fallout then you'll likely enjoy this as well - I do! And yes - like Skyrim - masses of mod support, but it'll get bigger when the official modding kit is released, which I think is next year

I've uploaded my latest, and this is how I dealt with the copyright notification on the Robocop segment! -

Cripes - It's been over 10 weeks since I list uploaded anything - I blame Starfield and life getting in the way! Anyway, i'm back with the conclusion to my 3060M investigations. In the first video comment section, @ge2565 asked 'can you play another online games like maybe Valorant? since the...

A very good point. I'll continue to use copyright free tunes from humble bundle!

I'd agree that it is semi-useful. I thought i'd finished my latest, and brought it in on usb to upload using the work internet. After uploading and processing, it then told me that there was a claim on the segment of audio from the new Robocop: Rogue City demo gameplay I was including. So...

Interesting. I actually uploaded the intro to my next one privately to see if it might get hit - just so I wouldn't go through the hassle of replacing the audio once it's fully done! I wanted to know if I'd circumvented its checks by using a midi tune of the back to the future theme, and I...

Now live! Why wait?

I’m back with the 3060m In a shameless follow-up to capitalise on the interest I saw in the first video. Before, I was trying it with a PC being thrown away by a neighbour – it is probably the worst example of a PC with a PCI-E slot that I have - but I’ve now popped it into the fastest PC I have...

Tell me more! During the height of the crypto mining GPU drought some enterprising Chinese companies started putting laptop graphics chips in desktop cards.. This was to circumvent Nvidia's low hash rate tech they implemented, as they didn't bother doing that with laptop graphics. I bought one...

June 16th was my birthday and the UK cinematic release date of the flash so I went to go and see it with my wife. We both quite enjoyed it, but some parts like the baby in a microwave section took us out of the film to question what we just saw.. some of the effects work was.. questionable. This...
