Ctn on Inno3D GeForce RTX 4070 Ti X3 OC 12GB GDDR6X Graphics Card $1299 Delivered + Surcharge @ Shopping Express

Assuming 4090 is a true 3090 replacement is the problem. 608mm2 of 4nm is relatively much more than 628mm2 of Samsung 8nm. The uplift in…

In reality OLED on laptops tanks battery life, especially at high brightness. In a worst case scenario it can halve battery life.

dbmitch on Crucial P1 1TB SSD $99 Delivered, MSI GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING X 12G 12GB GDDR6 RGB LED Graphics Card $899 + Delivery & More @ SE

Price/performance is still about the same. If a 3060 is worth it to OP then a 3060 ti should be too.

12th gen will still be too power hunger for a 14” and iGPU is irrelevant when you have a 3070. Plus new models won’t be anywhere near…

brimmy11 on [NSW] Acer Nitro 5 15.6" i5-11300H/8GB RAM/512GB SSD/GTX1650 4GB Laptop $715.50 + $20 Delivery @ Bing Lee eBay

The 1650 is about on par with a rx470. That’s a perfectly good GPU for most games at 1080p. Especially for mobile.

Unless you’re buying B550/X570 AM4 is also dead, and according to AMD Vcache is only coming to ‘high end’ parts. Realistically a…

It doesn't really. A 75 W 3060 is going to perform substantially worse in games than specialised gaming laptops that run it up to 130 W.…

Strange times when windows PC makers and Samsung are making apple almost look like good value.

Managed to get a grey one, seems like there's actually a decent chance for people to get this unlike those $99 airpods. Seems like a pretty…

It's a decent quad but not amazing. Brushed motors are normally only rated for 5-7 hours of use. Good for an absolute beginner but decent…
