I just upgraded to this from a 5600X. I'd say the real world difference is around 15% or so, but it also depends on what resolution you…

I bought a 5700X3D a few weeks ago from a different seller ("cp u Store") and it performs perfectly -- arrived in a small bubble-wrapped…

This is an amazing deal. I recently got this CPU from another seller from AliExpress and it's working perfectly -- great for games like…

Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE CPU Air Cooler $50.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ suomole via Amazon AU
This popular leading CPU air cooler is back on sale, and performs a tiny bit better than the venerable [Peerless Assassin 120…

Retro games, for sure. For modern games it really struggles, even at the lowest graphics settings -- definitely wasn't meant for playing…

Yep, it's their proprietary upscaling solution. Whereas AMD's FSR is open source and runs on just about any graphics card, but the downside…

I played around with RT for a week or two but found it doesn't really make games look spectacularly better, it's a fairly subtle effect…

Honestly if you're happy with sRGB then it sounds like this Dell would be a great monitor for you. As an amateur/hobbyist, a wide-gamut…

> It's a great monitor and don't know if it's related to the MacBook or not but it can get really flickery at night under certain…

Depends how picky you are. It's a decent quality budget productivity monitor, but was never designed for colour-accurate photography work.…

> Also, it came in a very plain brown box that doesn't mention the word "NERF" anywhere on the box at all. I wonder if this is a made for…

Thanks for the info, I will have to look into this some more! Here is the Whirlpool discussion thread if anyone else is interested:…

Wait, I'm really confused. So Vision Network is using TPG's infrastructure, but is not sold by TPG themselves but through a 3rd party known…
22/05/2024 - 16:35
Depends on the TPG infrastructure in your building. If you're lucky it has the newer equipment which supports the faster speeds. In my…

No it does not. It tends to be only the cheap generic brands that include a USB C charging cable in the box.
20/05/2024 - 14:57
There's the Belkin 100W charger which drops down to around $80 every now and then:…

They probably meant the 3rd party aftermarket springs -- you can get some pretty bulky ones which require a hefty prime. To be clear, the…

Same. I'm crushed, was so looking forward to it, bah!

Just got this and loaded up Hi-Fi Rush on my Steam Deck OLED. Phenomenal game, and runs like a dream at a locked 60fps. This bundle is well…

I reckon you'd be better off getting a proper IPS panel 32" 4K/144Hz monitor like the Dell G3223Q. RTINGS review of the M70 seems ok, not…

Oh dang I misread, right you are.

100%. Having automatic filament run-out switchover is a lifesaver. And the sealed box makes it easier to keep filament relatively dry while…
06/05/2024 - 23:12
I honestly can't say since I've never played the original game (heresy, I know!), but judging from the reviews I've read and watched,…

No. USB C dock functionality usually adds a lot more to the price of the monitor.
03/05/2024 - 11:05
The OLED model is a significant hardware refresh, they updated a tonne of stuff for it -- there's various videos about this, e.g. Skillup's…

I just received my Tomtoc case today and agree 100% with your review. It's not "much slimmer" than the bulky original Steam Deck case at…

Separate Ways is fantastic and definitely a must-own. The other included DLC is not necessary, just some nice to have bonuses and…

That's an amazing price and most likely an all-time low. The game is incredible as well -- it's even better than the original.
