I'm in the UK. I've been running the game at 1920 x 1200 and I get a pretty good frame rate now. But I get some kind of visible refresh line flickering on the screen a lot of the time. You can see it on the attached screen shot at the bottom of the screen in the attached pic. The card I'm...

Thanks, that's a good point. Is there not a bottleneck issue? I think I'm ok to spend close £200 or $250.What's the most powerful card I can get for that? I tend to prefer NVIDIA but if AMD are smashing it then I'll go with them.

I’m looking to upgrade some components in my Desktop PC so it can handle the graphics work load of ‘Escape from Tarkov’. I suspect I might need to upgrade my graphics card and possibly my RAM type but I’m not sure. I would appreciate any advice on: 1. What component or components should I...

Here is an update. It didn't work. This is the process I used. Downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium from this link http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=32979735&postcount=3 But the ‘Windows 7 USB-DVD tool’ wouldn’t recognise it. So I directed it to the Win7 that I...

Thank's I downloaded the program. I'll get a 500gb external HD as the one on my laptop is 320 GB. I don't think I can imprint that onto an 8GB usb with all the content. You are right. I think I have the basics now so I'm confident I can do it. Thanks.

thank's guys. @JackMDS: I'm not sure what 'enclsosure' means? I'm going to buy an external HD a i need to save a lot of stuff from my laptops HD before I format it. Sorry for being a noob but what does 'image your current drive mean? Does it mean I just transfer the entire drive adn...

@Dahak I downloaded Win7HomePremium 64 bit from the link you posted but does it make a difference if it is OEM or not regarding my activation key? Also, do I have to make a bootable DVD from that image or can I install it from a USB or external Hard Drive and how do I do that?

Thank's guys. That's alot of help. Appreciate it.

How do I get the UK 1-800 number just in case? Will the software display it when I try to install if needed? Also, what will happen? I can't exactly tell them that I formatted my disk, including the partition that Win7OEM was on and downloaded a copy of it from Piratebay to use with my legal key...

Thank's guys. I don't know which will be the case but my 8 gigs of ram arrived this morning so it's too late to turn back. I downloaded an OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and will save all my files and format my hard disk (this means erasing the copy of Win7HP that came on the 20 gig...

Also considering a Monitor alternative. I'd like the monitor to be 27" or above and between £300 - £500. Also, do any monitors have a usb slot like TV's do so I can just watch movies on it without having to have my laptop booted up and connected?

Hi. I have an OEM Windows 7 home premium on my laptop. It came on a partition. I have just ordered an upgrade of ram from 3 to now 8 gigs. However I need to have Windows in 64 bit for it to recognize the 8 gigs. So I will format and reinstall the OEM windows. I just did a scan of my computer to...

Hi. I have modest laptop. It's a HP Pavilion dm1. For what it is it's an ok little laptop but I'm not keen on the screen and would like to have a TV for use as a second, larger screen. I'll use it as extra screen real estate while doing stuff like writing, editing video/photos on the laptop...
