Sony themselves recommend not to use DRAM-less (HMB) drives in PS5 (all the way down the bottom) so take that as the official…

The expected price for 8800XT will be 900 AUD or more though (looking at 7800XT and 6800 non-XT launch AU MSRP). Mid-tier card or not, AMD…

Yeah same, I was considering buying it then as well. But I'm just waiting to see what next gen from all 3 brands (Nvidia, AMD, Intel) will…

ATL for Asus Dual 7800XT was $629 Src: https://www.pgrid.com.au/gpus/radeon-rx-7800-xt

Apple vs orange though, Harpe Ace has a comfortable symmetrical shape with a medium-sized hump towards the rear, well-suited for all grip…

Sony recommend drives without HMB to achieve satisfactory performance because PS5 OS doesn't support HMB (scroll all the way to the…

Some people on Tapo forum said they encountered issues using SS Evo SD cards for Tapo line. Not sure about Gen2, but better stick to…

Nah DDU only really required between major jumps (3 or more generations) or between brand (Nvidia <-> AMD). Usually driver updates, you…

Well, it launched at 1119 AUD in Jan this year, so down to 863 in <12 months isn't so bad.

Did you use DDU to uninstall previous drivers before installing the 7800XT? I remember having to do that for my nephew, moving from 1060…

No rumours of 5060/Ti launch yet, so I'm not expecting below 1.1k+ AUD for new 5070/Ti series (and leaks point to only 5070 Ti and above…

For Windows HMB (non-DRAM) is "fine" (not great, not terrible) for basic non write-heavy tasks. The issue is if you plug this into…

The original title didn't have the "+", it was "$229Delivered"

Have used this monitor, terrible contrast (black looks grey) and stand has no height adjustment, only slight tilt.

Tim from Hardware Unboxed says to hodl, but I kinda disagree. People who buy mainstream card below 1k AUD imo should buy **heavily**…

Yeah, I would have bought that RX 6800 but it's a tight fit for my mATX case (Kolink Citadel Mesh mATX) without completely removing RAM and…

Which sub-800AUD 1440p 360Hz OLED are you referring to?

I'm not saying one is better the other. I'm just answering your question of "Why people buy A over B?" If multiple reviews rate model A as…

Average person who don't know much about OLEDs or monitors in general would look up reviews than buy on a hunch or read the spec sheet and…

Probably because this model comes up as top recommended gaming OLED monitor on review sites like Rtings and Monitor Unboxed.

Check out and bookmark https://gaminglaptop.deals/ It's the website by Jarrod's Tech on Youtube, he reviews hundreds of laptops and put the…

I saw some can be pretty loud: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/J2SyB6LMBXs That wouldn't be usable in my living room Plex PC

That one is SMR, pretty slow for write-heavy use like NAS or surveillance.

Are these too loud? I'm considering putting one in living room PC but not sure about the noise level.

The WD Blue 8TB is CMR and goes down to 190 from time to time as well. This is still decent deal for non archival/write-heavy use.

It is expected that xx70/Super/Ti will be AU$1.2k+ msrp again so even if it's 30% faster than 4070S, this deal is still OK for those who…

For pure gaming just can't beat the current value of AMD lineup. Though the 3090 is a good card for people who work with software…

Kingston NV1 is DRAMless also, not great as OS drive, can be OK for large storage drive (1TB/2TB) to store photos and videos that get…
