I'm trying to have a measured take. The risk with buying Intel dGPUs still remains, that if they shutter the GPU division then future…

To me it feels like the Rotten Tomatoes effect - 6/10 is still a positive rating so mediocre movies can get 100% score rating. Imo the B580…

If you've watched the GN vid, the B580 can stutter much more than the 3060 TI in modern and legacy titles - it's extremely game dependent…

That was a profit in the December 2023 quarter, which breaks even over the losses in the earlier 3-6 quarters. The previous September 2024…

The company is in dire straits, it's not really comparable to Google given the financial situation of both companies. Intel has seen year…

It is a return of the value we once treasured and people are getting nostalgic. Intel is still a corporation and this is the move they…

Yes I was referring to the second hand market - it's a 4 year old card at this point as I said. In terms of new, see recent 4060 deals for…

Intel HAS to compete (or their GPU R&D would be for naught). We shouldn't hype it up because they are doing what they need to do to break…

Good point on the node being TSMC manufactured, that would certainly limit the pricing. I'd say the primary issue is the fact that AMD and…

"It feels like there's WAY too much hype going on here." Literally this. I am not super hyped, it's a good step in the right direction for…

Bad math on my part, my main point is, as reviewers have said (Steve from HWUB etc) - if the card launched at ~220USD it would be a…

I agree that 8GB dGPUs should only be absolute entry level products, and I'm happy there's 12GB in the B580. I'm saying Intel is bringing…

The 3060 ti had nigh identical bandwidth. I'm just saying if you listen to the reviewers they all say Intel is late to the party and that…

3060 ti is directly between those two cards (4060 and 4060 ti). Interesting that I'm getting significantly downvoted for stating the actual…

The issue is, the 3060 TI released 4 years ago and this just about matches that (yes you get 4GB VRAM but you're still bandwidth limited).…

I was close to buying the Longshot but heard about all the plunger issues and decided not to grab one. Glad to hear it worked out for you!…

I'd chop them if you want more FPS but it doesn't significantly increase accuracy. Thought for consistency I'd just buy half length bamboo…

The Maulr has some issues - especially with ergonomics (not great for adult or even child hands), the Gameface Trion was on sale under $90…

Yes but they fly with great inaccuracy - best to fire half-length/stefans if you want to do some target shooting.

I wouldn't call it an ultra 144hz 1440p card in 2024, as it sits around a 6800XT (slightly worse in some games). Sure if it released back…

I paid 4K lmao, but got it through work salary packaging so it was more like 2.5K. You can get refurbs under 2K but that's always rolling…

Sell your kidney lol. Afaik the 4060 8GB hit 3K before they all sold out, one example here:…

Last year's Zephyrus G14 was 1.7kg 1.85-1.95cm with 1 upgradeable SODIMM so you can definitely do better than the above Lenovo. Also topped…

I'd steer away from that model specifically as it has a 5900hs, this was before AMD honed in on efficiency. At the bare minimum I'd get a…

Asus Flow X13 and ProArt PX13 are both better laptops, so it's better to get those on sale imo. Otherwise there are many 14" laptops that…

Something like the following laptop would completely thrash the Z13 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/871841. You'd gain OLED, an extra…

I actually daily drove an X13 with the 3080 XG Mobile for 2 years - the main hassle was activating/deactivating the eGPU every single time…

The i9 will be heavily bottlenecked by thermals anyway, this whole system is extremely niche. Plus 13th gen isn't known for its efficiency…
