Possibly just a windows thing? I have a 7735hs laptop which sleeps fine using s2idle on linux

True, though it does have a few benefits which may become apparent for workstation uses - quad channel memory, ecc, avx512...

This is realistically for those who want the 3090 specifically, e.g. for vram capacity. This deal isn't bad for that, given the inflated…

Another issue with certain VA panels is that they can flicker rapidly with a changing refresh rate - e.g. if you have freesync enabled. I…

We obviously pissed off the downvote brigade lol. The tribalism and lack of critical thinking around this stuff always surprises me.
27/05/2025 - 11:04
Yeah, if you expect to lean heavily on DLSS and/or CUDA features obviously that more or less makes your decision for you. It just annoys me…

Worth considering a 7800XT at $749. On average [+13% over 5060 Ti 16gb at…

I have a Dell G3223Q (6kg) on this same model without any dramas

Hmm, replaced your entire comment with an edit? Re. what you were saying, I don't think it's true that PNY models are more expensive in the…

Aren't gpus likely to be exempt? Not an expert, but current exemptions listed…

Good post OP. A decent option for those locked into nvidia. Though seems to be a mistake in your performance calcs, implying that 6700xt is…

Obviously strix halo is in a totally different class, but it's also been very expensive thus far. You're right, 140T is a strong igpu. Like…

Medusa point is a year away from current rumours. If graphics performance is a priority, you should probably look at models with beefier…

I just wouldn't pay more for the intel chip here. Arrow lake has not exactly been a successful arch. Despite having compute tiles on a…

I'm not able to get the extra discount in cart you're mentioning, while logged in on multiple browsers. Perhaps expired? For me, 32gb ram…

No worries, easy mistake to make when the names are the same. Don't get me started on RX 7600 vs Ryzen 7600 etc...

That's an Nvidia GTX 860M in the video you linked, not the radeon iGPU. Totally different thing.…

The M1 max would be a great platform to mess around with. Decent amount of space to fit some more competent models

Per [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2en927054o): > Experts say there is a 70% to 80% chance of a magnitude 8 or 9 quake striking…

Generally, go with the most amount of vram for the budget. Used 3060 12gb is a decent place to start. 3090s keep getting more expensive but…

At least 48GB? You absolutely don't need that much to run an okay quality local LLM. Plenty of decent models under 30B params which take <…

Potentially, it certainly has more cores. What do the benchmarks say? One thing I'd note is that the PL2 for the 225H is 115W, whereas the…

This is good advice if you like filter/black coffee. Had many good years from my aeropress and still use it for travel/hiking. Re. the…

Nice price. Might as well grab a 7700 for less though if you're just gaming.
17/04/2025 - 21:16
"Genuine Intel CPU" an upgrade? Is this 2016 haha I jest, but the 228V is a pretty major downgrade, around half the speed in multicore per…

Definitely Switch 2. You can play Mario kart, then get your performance review call from your boss over GameChat.
