https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/jbmh6m/has_anyone_used_the_shopblt_website_to_order_the/

just thought i'd link to people's concern about shopblt

they are supposedly real and not a scam

according to google

[pure crown]

heard its legit

just has long ass waiting lines for gpus

[grim talon]

Back order, nobody ever gets their GPUs lol

[lone depot]

i've bought from them

they're legit

its meant to be a wholesale store for smaller stores

ordered 4 5700XTs off of them, they come via cargo ship so it likely got delayed a tonnn by the suez

[acoustic lagoon]

Yea i read some reviews and such, so i believe it

[wise marsh]

3 bucks at goodwill

[hybrid garnet]

Turtle Beach, not a bad find. Just make sure to clean it.
Who uses that "-" key anyway

[wise marsh]

Oh definitely gonna be deep cleaning. I can just pop the keys off and put them back on, right? I've never done it before and I wouldn't wanna break it 😅

[nova geyser]

Yep

[wise marsh]

Thanks!

[nova geyser]

Yw :)

[dry nest]

just seems too good to be true really

would love to get my hands on a xc3 3080 but there's no way that could be legit lol

[hollow wolf]

just pop it in the dishwasher

I think I saw some dumbass try that on YouTube once

and it worked

[dry nest]

man got lucky

[hollow wolf]

it was that stupid Linus tech tips channel lol

as much as their videos make me cringe, I think they did it right

[sour brook]

So I need a new gpu. I have an and 5700xt it died today in a power surge. I know I'm going to over pay but I need something somewhat reasonably priced.

[hybrid garnet]

I suppose you aren't comfortable replacing the fuse that likely blew in the surge then?
We expect Best Buy to have some stock next week, and the 3070 ti comes out on the 10th if you feel like getting in line 2 days before that.

[humble schooner]

Best buy will have stock for the 5700xt?

How do you know this?

[hybrid garnet]

Umm, not for the 5700XT. That's out of production for a while now.
Based on historical data Best Buy tends to restock every 2 weeks, often on Thursdays but that varies lately. They can have either AMD 6000 series or Nvidia 3000 series cards, and an unknown quantity of any given card.

[humble schooner]

Ah okay

So do i just keep refreshing their site?

[hybrid garnet]

Basically yeah

If you sign up for a stock drop discord or something they'll notify you on drop days

[humble schooner]

Oh okay

Thank you

[lone depot]

me

i use it for deafen/undeafen

easy to press

[lone depot]

What model?

[sour brook]

Something comparable to the 5700xt. Id like to stay AMD because my whole build is amd

[lone depot]

no what model 5700xt

do you have

[nova geyser]

5700xts are gonna cost you a pretty penny on the used market my guy

[lone depot]

????

"something comparable"

[nova geyser]

Yeah the used markets are 💩 rn

[lone depot]

what..

[nova geyser]

It's very overpriced to get a new gpu basically

[lone depot]

[still apex]

It’s going to be for a long time lol

The economy is doodoo

Return to monke

[proud lynx]

Yeah you're better off getting something new. The price of my 5700xt used is $900. I bought it for 360 last march. If i were to sell it I'd get some good money back but its all i got and i don't even need a new gpu.

[nova geyser]

Should be able to get a 2070 super for that price or something yeah

[icy finch]

You could sell 5700xt for 900, then buy 3070 for 1100 ez

[wicked crater]

where 3070 1100

[icy finch]

They have gone down in price a decent amount from scalpers

[wicked crater]

ah ok

[wicked crater]

where have they gone down, i just checked ebay

[icy finch]

Idk maybe they went back up, sips told me they went down yesterday or something

[wicked crater]

eh ok

https://www.amazon.com/GA15DK-Desktop-GeForce-Windows-GA15DK-AS776/dp/B08ZRTRLR9 5800X + 3070 Prebuilt for $1569, heard cooling might be meh, can fix it yourself though.

[true furnace]

hey i have that one, but cheapest version lmao

5600x+1660s with only 8 gigs o ram

and yes cooling is meh, but you can add fans

provided you have a fan controller

only one case fan connector, which is also a 4-pin pwm

[humble schooner]

[tawny shoal]

those arent "normal 5700s" those are 5700xt's, and just because something is listed for an insane price doesnt mean itll sell for that

[humble schooner]

1. idk why it came up as 5700xt
2. no need to be rude
3. ive seen auctions for that much

[tawny shoal]

not trying to be rude lol

and also the auctions alot of time arent legit

you can put in a stupid bid and then not pay when you win it

ive sold ebay stuff before and ppl have done it to me

sadly

[hybrid garnet]

Auctions a lot of the time are bots and trolls with zero rep accounts

[neon jungle]

Hey does anyone know if $1469.94 is good for a gaming setup

?

[calm dawn]

Depends on ur target resolution and game types

[tawny shoal]

That doesn't help us lol

We need to know the specs and stuff

Since it could be anywhere from a rx570 build to a 3060ti build

[flat swift]

They cross posted in build chat

[tawny shoal]

Ohhh ok

[lone depot]

how much will a i7-100k or i9-100 build cost with a 3060-ti

my budget is like 1300-1450

im wondering if it would fall in my budget

[unborn phoenix]

i didnt know intel made 100 number processors

[lone depot]

idk the name

its like i9-1000 soemthing

without the letters

[unborn phoenix]

for 1300-1450 i would do an 11400f and 3060ti
you could def get something better but then you'd have money to spend on other stuff

[nova geyser]

Honestly prebuilds with an i5 would be easy to find but it honestly depends on how much you can get your 3060 ti for but you'd want to go i5 11400

[hollow prawn]

Just know that the "i3 i5 i7 i9" is the useless bit, and the numbers after that, like 10700k, 8700k, 9100f, etc is what matters

[calm frigate]

Can anyone tell me if there is an easier way to snag a 3060? Im dying to upgrade my machine!

[hybrid garnet]

Nope. Everyone is in the same boat. Have to get lucky and win Newegg shuffle or be faster than the bots on other sites.

[calm frigate]

Copy that. 😦 Good luck everyone!

[nova geyser]

Prebuilts are the easiest way atm unfortunately

[hybrid garnet]

Just not a Dell

[nova geyser]

Or ibuypower

[unborn phoenix]

and god forbid an HP

[nova geyser]

Nowhere near as bad as dell, hp is fixeable usually

[hybrid garnet]

At least you can strip the GPU out of a HP

The Dell one was BAD, in literally every possible way

[nova geyser]

Overheating a 1650 is hard but dell was like holy my beer

[wicked crater]

i....... dont want to correct you

[hybrid garnet]

Me neither, best typo so far today

[wicked crater]

yeah

[unborn phoenix]

holy me beeer

[nova geyser]

Damm auto correct lol 🤦

[calm frigate]

😆 I love it!

[wicked crater]

well i like this chat more anyway

[hybrid garnet]

Great. Looks like we might need to implement a verification step? Maybe a reaction to the rules post?

[unborn phoenix]

isn't this the server that uses Wick

or am i having a brain fart

[hybrid garnet]

Wick? I know we use mee6

[unborn phoenix]

bruh

try wick

trust

it's harder to set up

but it has so many more features

[hybrid garnet]

I'm not the one to talk to about that, I have no power here

[nova geyser]

I think an emote reaction should do

[unborn phoenix]

integrated captcha, anti-raid
normal automod
heat settings

its great

and the best part is

it shouldnt take more than like 10 minutes to set up

[hybrid garnet]

Keep in mind what we can and cannot do is very restricted since we're an official, verified discord server. More rules come with that little check mark.

At any rate you'd have to message an admin about suggestions like that, or at least ping one in chat

[unborn phoenix]

this is true

[hybrid garnet]

Along the same lines https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-ali416/p/N82E16883102994

[nova geyser]

yeah but 11400

[hybrid garnet]

Moar fans

[nova geyser]

True true

[unborn phoenix]

11400 more expensive than a pack of P12s tho

[nova geyser]

close enough but yeah better cpu

[hybrid garnet]

I personally have a literal stack of fans from previous builds and upgrades, so I'd go for the better CPU and change the case so it's less 🔥

I have at least 4 different sizes too

[lone depot]

can someone build me a pc

with a i7-10700k

and 16 gb ram

and also a 3060 ti

[wicked crater]

[nova geyser]

Probs gonna take 6 weeks XD

[dense solar]

Yeah true

But $30

[nova geyser]

That's so sketch looking, feels like they gonna ship you a figure of a gaming chair r sum lol

[dense solar]

I looked up some reviews on it, and it’s definitely not the best, but it’d be a decent chair if you really don’t have the money

Lmao, get a picture of the chair like people were of 3080s

[nova geyser]

Exactly what 30$ chair feels like it would get you lol

[dense solar]

It’s sold by the actual brand so I’d like to imagine they just have a huge stock of them and are attempting to mass sale either due to bankruptcy or not selling at all

Who knows

[nova geyser]

Probs yeah or get a load of good reviews cuz 30$

[dense solar]

True true

[icy finch]

One could buy that then instantly resell for like 200 dollars more

[unborn phoenix]

lmao

[hard ibex]

[dense solar]

damn

[nova geyser]

hyper taming

[nova geyser]

Hyperthreading

[unborn phoenix]

was close

[umbral trellis]

fr?

[nova geyser]

Yeah 3500 is 6c 6t

It's supposed to be like a chinese only cpu r sum

[umbral trellis]

Its available in India

[nova geyser]

Mb india instead of china, its supposed to be for some region in asia anyway can't remember exact and idk why they bothered with it

[umbral trellis]

SHEESH it costs more than a 3600x on amazon

[nova geyser]

Lol

[abstract prawn]

More 3600x's than some region locked product, so supply forces down price comparatively? Dunno

[umbral trellis]

got my 3600x for 16K INR... 3500 is 19k inr rn

tbf the price of the 3600x is sitting at 25K rn tho

[abstract prawn]

What currency?

Oh yeah, India, rupee, duh

[nova geyser]

Probs a weird Ryzen pricing thing or 3rd party seller lol

[wicked crater]

oh

what

i was just about to reply to someone

[lone depot]

Moving to gpu channel

[wicked crater]

ah k

[tawny shoal]

So like 220usd for a 3600x? Seems kinda not worth it to me tbh

But then again, I don't really know how good/bad the cpu market is down there

[finite fjord]

There has to be at least 10400 or 11400 available if you got a 3600(x) available. Decently likely cheap b560/h570 too. If so then that's the better option.

[long geyser]

Wow

[autumn thistle]

aren't the 1750 desktop pcs with the i7 10700f/3070 the best deal for a 30 series card atm?

its like paying scalper price but with a full pc instead

what do you guys think about it?

[hybrid garnet]

There's ABS (newegg house brand) 11400f/3070/16gb computers for $1400-1500. If you really need the extra cores that 10700f wouldn't be too bad of an upgrade.

[autumn thistle]

i can't find those on newegg.com or ebay, i only see the 10700f one

[hybrid garnet]

They might have sold out already, I saw them yesterday.

[autumn thistle]

makes sense, they sound like a way better deal

[umbral trellis]

The lowest ive ever seen a 3600x go is 14.5K inr

things dont drop much below msrp here pc wise

5600x going for 35k last I checked

which is what the 3700x was goin for last year

[true furnace]

Thailand has 3500 here

A bit cheaper than 3600

[tulip plank]

what are some good deals for a 1200 prebuilt?

god

the 3070ti looks

eh

you are better off saving your money for a 3080

[true furnace]

yeah lol

3070ti and 3080ti are a joke

[solar oak]

3080ti aint that bad its cheaper then the 3090 and in some cases better right?

its just a watered down 3090

[true furnace]

Kinda

Less vram tho

But still expensive

Still robbing the customers kek

[nova geyser]

Well idk but if you look it up only amazon india comes up lol

[solar oak]

lol

[nova geyser]

I mean if you get it for same price as you would have gotten a 3070 then it's fine lol

[solar oak]

tbh even if i win the newegg shuffle for the 3070ti i will not hesitate to buy one even tho itz kinda ass

[nova geyser]

It's only kinda ass price to perf

It's still slightly better than 3070 lol

[smoky cobalt]

In this market, you can't be too picky

[solar oak]

the sad truth😔

[true furnace]

I dropped like 860 and got much better specs

Not an hp tho, it's an asus rog strix ga15

3600X+1660S

[lone depot]

waste of money

disgrace to the ampere family

500 usd more for around 10-20 more fps than a 3080

[true furnace]

^

might as well jump to 3090

[solar oak]

its not always about frame rates i know 3D artist that need fast render times love the 3090 or 3080ti

[lone depot]

i want talking about the 3090, talking about the 3080 To

[true furnace]

Hm, then that makes sense

[lone depot]

makes more sense to go with 3090 either way, assuming msrp and availability is normal lol

[true furnace]

I die inside whenver I see 3090's price in thailand

Faaaaar from the msrp, worse than the us

ive heard super goo dthings about them, and i need a computer for college

[acoustic echo]

and the best thing, they died 1 week after warranty expired

[dense solar]

oof

[umbral trellis]

What were you doing with em lmao

[acoustic echo]

Just normal usage, not even gaming or gpu usage. We use them for programming in python. Turn them off one night next day one of the drives were dead, then about a week later the other nvme got corrupted in the second laptop. And about 3 weeks later, my personal one catched fire because of the mosfets near the battery shorted. So personally wont be getting any dell systems at least for a few years until they sort out the quality again.

[umbral trellis]

This is the first time ive heard of such a problem with the XPS lineup

but yeah avoiding dell ia always recommended

[hollow prawn]

Drives just dying like that doesn't really sound normal

[tawny shoal]

Lol prolly a chia-coin miner lol :p

[true furnace]

^

[acoustic echo]

who would mine chia in a laptop ...

is just rock bottom quality cycle, dell always been like that. Quality goes to hell, "they do kaizens and fix it, all high fives" then they start slacking again until the quality is bad again, and then do it again and high five again.

[hollow prawn]

thing is

unless the drive is proprietary

[tawny shoal]

Was a joke lol, the idea is that a bunch of chia miners destroy drives since the drives are usually consumer grade and not meant to handle full usage 24/7.

[hollow prawn]

it's especially hard to screw up other things that would screw up the drive

like, really hard

[tawny shoal]

Ye

[acoustic echo]

is just a really bad micron drive

[hollow prawn]

eh, prob some proprietary one then

[acoustic echo]

all 3 machines were identical and buy at same time, so I probably got a bad batch of them

but the third one catching fire I did not expect it. I tracked it to a mosfet very close to the battery

[dense solar]

pc?

[hybrid garnet]

What price for both?

[lone depot]

it is trade

not for sell

[hybrid garnet]

If they're about the same price I'd personally go for the laptop, even though the desktop offers more upgrade options later you'll need to do a full platform upgrade including the CPU, motherboard, and memory to move to the next generation anyway.
The laptop, in theory, is better than the desktop in performance but only by a small margin.

[lone depot]

it is not the same price

i have the laptop

i buyed it for 1.2k dollars

the pc worth 400 dollars

[lone depot]

without the screen

[hybrid garnet]

Oh well I'd keep the laptop then unless you had specific plans to upgrade it

[lone depot]

idk i dont want to regret it

[hybrid garnet]

Even taking into account it's the mobile version of the 1060, it still can beat a 1650, and the mobile CPU will match or beat the desktop one depending on a few factors.

[lone depot]

i ment the pc 800 dollars

[hybrid garnet]

Nothing changes based on that. The laptop is still probably better.

[sudden needle]

I am looking for deals on a New Windows Tablet. I do not care if it is Used, Refurbished or New. Anyone know of any Deals under about $400.00? It does not have to be super powerful or anything, just something I can do my work on and add an External Hard Drive and Upgrade the Memory in to Add Memory.

[umbral trellis]

tablet or laptop?

[hybrid garnet]

Upgrading the memory isn't really a thing in tablets, maybe certain tablet PCs that are just special laptops.

this is the i7 one

https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-pavilion-gaming-desktop-tg01-2285t-bundle-pc

[wicked crater]

5700g one a lot better I believe

[abstract prawn]

Eh, the 5700g tends to trail behind the 11700 in games but is ahead in most workloads, so technically both are about on par. Taking a closer look those specs should be on par in gaming since ram speed doesn't have too much impact, so just go with the cheaper, which does in fact seem to be the 5700g build, unless you plan on shoving in some better ram

Any good deals on Parts to Build Your Own Desktop (Building a Cheap Desktop to Upgrade Later)? Also looking for Deals on Pre-Built Laptops & Desktops.

[coral quarry]

There's always something, it's probably more a question of where you want to start and how much you want to spend...

That being said, pre-builts are probably a better value now if you're looking into anything with a latest-gen processor or graphics card.

[hollow wolf]

that would put you under canada iitc

@umbral trellis

[umbral trellis]

Canada is very far up north

Right below texas would be more accurate

[hollow wolf]

the earth is a sphere, not a flat map

india is in the northern hemisphere

depending on which part of india you're in you would be around conneticut ~ above montreal

like

wait

nvm

you would be dead opposite to about 300 miles west of peru if you're in delhi

if you're in Chennai then abt 200 miles west of ecuador

I don't know any of the cities towards the southwest side but the southwest side puts you at columbia

Eh too lazy to pull up a map

But yeah definitely not under canada

theres no newegg day cuz they dont need it

stuff just

so often

[prime stratus]

Yeah just not the monitors I want sadly the past few months

The linked above is a good monitor but looking for similair specs on an IPS. The price also on that monitor is normally 300. I hate that Amazon does that making it seem like a sale.

[nova geyser]

What specs you want for monitor?

[icy finch]

Get a M27q

[prime stratus]

Basically the exact specs of the M27q

Hoping that one goes down in price next week

[nova geyser]

Then just get an m27q?

Price wise, I've seen it at 270$ but haven't seen drop more

[cinder raven]

😦

[prime stratus]

I'm planning on it if it shoots down next week. If not then I'll just buy it as is unless something better comes along

If it hits 270 then I'm definitely smacking that buy button lol

[icy finch]

Watch Best Buy since you can find open box there for 270 usually

[stray nova]

I only sent a deal. This is tech deals.

[unborn phoenix]

That’s not even a deal

[stray nova]

3,500 MB/s

Also the 500 gbs is the only one on sale.

Wait. How come the normal price for the 500 gbs is 121.99?

For the one I sent.

[unborn phoenix]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stray nova]

You can also get an additional 15% off with the Amazon coupon.

So the 500 gbs is 63.74 before taxes.

[tawny shoal]

A 500 GB P31 for like 63 bucks isnt a deal? ok bud lol

[unborn phoenix]

It’s almost as if I didn’t know about the coupon until after I posted
Crazy how time works, huh?

[tawny shoal]

Huh

Sus

[glass mason]

barely a deal

oh they left

[nova geyser]

Basically noone should be buying a 500gb p31, either get a 500gb sn550/p34 or save up for a 1 tb

I'm just watching our for people, you can leave it up if you want and you've used them before i believe you then but was just saying that it looks sketchy lol, mb it's not

[austere thunder]

What exactly does squashed packaging entail though

Dented box?

First world problems

If the product arrives in good working order and as described, I'm happy

[nova geyser]

I saw a review where they said "squashed packaging" i assumed a big box meant packaging too big and squashed in shipping lol or mb poor quality box?

[nova geyser]

A lot of stuff said took 4 months if they even got it lol and awful customer service but idk they could just be karens lol

Well it depends on the sale

That's about to come on newegg

He might not even get the i5 10600k but I think he will

I know 100 is too much for him, the fuma 2 should be good enough

Does he want to overclock his cpu when he gets it?

[hybrid garnet]

3600 C16 with rgb, at 1.35v it's probably not a great chip but definitely good for the price

[nova geyser]

Non rgb ek is apparently nowhere near the same perf as ek rgb unfortunately

[nova geyser]

P300a if you're going to change the fans anyway

[pure pecan]

so like 3900x or 5800x

[nova geyser]

For gaming? 5800x for productivity 3900x cuz 12 cores vs 8

[abstract prawn]

What really? Are the fans really that different? Or did they derp the non-rgb version's pump or something?

Im not a big fan of lenovo tbh

Plus i hate the stupid extra buttons they add

[hollow prawn]

'huge discount' from a price it never should've been at

Wouldn't be surprised if it normally retails for like 1500$ and they set it to 3000$ to make it look like a big sale

its price raised to look like a deal when in reality it is around the price it should be

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DKB5LWY?pd_rd_i=B08DKB5LWY&pd_rd_w=gbHcp&pf_rd_p=ee186ce0-6bf7-4893-85b9-f3368b019e0f&pd_rd_wg=UvnGM&pf_rd_r=HB05C3GYGARZ3M87GND4&pd_rd_r=ce592a0f-5f18-4596-893e-897112f65a98

[dense solar]

Very good

[glass mason]

[flint kindle]

nice

[nova geyser]

I think some tech servers have "premade build lists" at certain price points and they can use % currency amount but that's kinda useless imo cuz lists only lasts for few days/weeks

Acer Nitro XV272U  for 255 vs the LG 27GL83A-B for 299. Same specs. Which and why? Too bad no 21:9 ratio with 2k reso are on my budget of 300. So it's down to these.

Lol

[unborn phoenix]

Not even sure if I have to mention this as a tech deal but ITS PRIME DAY

[acoustic lagoon]

ik bx500 from crucial is not as good as mx500.... but it's $65 rn on amazon for 1tb

[foggy ginkgo]

morning everyone, I am trying to choose between two monitors: AOC C27G2Z 27 and Acer Nitro XZ270 Xbmiipx 27

Any reccomendations?

[acoustic lagoon]

Those are 1080p?

[foggy ginkgo]

yup

I would like a 27 inch 240hz monitor - around 300 or below

[unborn phoenix]

someones gonna yell at me for rec M27Q

but look into the m27q

oh wait

they dont have 27in 240

nvm

:p

smoothbrain moment

sowwy

[foggy ginkgo]

no worries

[acoustic lagoon]

do you need 240hz?

moreover, do you care for graphics or just frames? bc 27in 1080p makes the pixels more noticeable

[wide trout]

1080p at 24 in makes me

27 looks 🤮

[nova geyser]

1080p 24" is good wdym lol

[unborn phoenix]

bruh

rich boi

[acoustic lagoon]

if you go 27inch, then you might as well go for 1440p

[wide trout]

1080p looks bad on my 24", too many jagged edges, have to run max antialiasing, but things get a tad blurry

[unborn phoenix]

my 1080p 27in looks nice

but TN

[acoustic lagoon]

your eyes bad then if you think it look nice

[nova geyser]

Sounds like a bad monitor lol

[wide trout]

or you are sitting very far away

[acoustic lagoon]

either or

yea

[wide trout]

its not, i would say yours is if its so blurry that you cant even see individual pixels

that, or your eyes

[unborn phoenix]

im about 2.5ft from my monitor

is that not normal

[wide trout]

yeah im like 1.5 ft

so its prolly fine at that distance

[acoustic lagoon]

1440p 27in tho

[wide trout]

agree

[acoustic lagoon]

means i can sit a bit closer to my monitor and not be bother by pixels like with 1080p 27in

[wide trout]

like, my 24" 1080p panel looks totally fine from a distance, i just dont have a very deep desk

so i have to be close

[acoustic lagoon]

yea, my desk is deep-ish, but i prefer sitting closer either way

[wide trout]

most people dont have deep desks, so in general 1080p greater than 22 inch is meh

[acoustic lagoon]

i had a 22in 1080p, gave it to my dad bc it's better than his cruddy 15 year old monitors

my dad hoards old ass technology and thinks it's still usable somehow when they're all falling apart and breaking

[nova geyser]

Looks good imo, can't even see pixels on desktop really unless i look extremely closely, and i already sit pretty close and just got an eye test and eyes are fine just fine lol

[proud lynx]

Got the vg27aq and love it

[acoustic lagoon]

some good deals for prime day on monitors

[proud lynx]

1440p at 27" is the sweet spot

[acoustic lagoon]

unless you're anti-amazon, which in that case, okay

debating on buying this 1tb bx500 for $65 rn

[nova geyser]

There's a p2 for 73$ if m.2 tickles your fancy, i think it's a decent amount better

[acoustic lagoon]

no more m.2 slots

already have 2 m.2 drives

[nova geyser]

Fair

[acoustic lagoon]

i really just want the storage to put my music on

[nova geyser]

In UK mx500 is 68 atm for prime day lol eip

[acoustic lagoon]

i have a large amount of flac files to move over

[wide trout]

at 2ft away the pixels are screaming at me

[nova geyser]

Idk man mb you have 25 25 eyes instead of 2020 r sum lol

[acoustic lagoon]

bruh i'm gonna scream, is it the 1tb variant?

[wide trout]

idk, last my eyes were checked they were just 2020

[acoustic lagoon]

i have 20/60

[nova geyser]

Yup

[acoustic lagoon]

WHAT

[wide trout]

so what, you got 3x optical zoom in your retinas or smthn?

smhmh

[nova geyser]

@acoustic lagoon

[acoustic lagoon]

i wish

non corrective

[wide trout]

mans got a focus dial built into his pupils

[acoustic lagoon]

i do have glasses with that actually

[wide trout]

damn really? that sounds cool

[acoustic lagoon]

monocular drilled into one of the lenses

used for driving

@wide trout

they hurt my ears, but i only wear them if i drive

[wide trout]

lmaooooo

WHY

that looks so jank

[acoustic lagoon]

i'm legally required to

bc i meet the bare minimum for driving requirements on eye sight

[nova geyser]

Holy what

[acoustic lagoon]

[wide trout]

oh is 20/60 not good? i honestly cant remember what the numbers stand for lmao

[acoustic lagoon]

yea, 20/60 bad

[wide trout]

oh :P

[acoustic lagoon]

not bad bad, but worse than 20/20

[nova geyser]

Idk i thought 20 20 was perfect vision?

[acoustic lagoon]

20/400 is legally blind

[nova geyser]

What does the 1st number (20) even mean lol

Just there for the craic (craic= banter/laughs btw)

[acoustic lagoon]

what a person sees at 20 ft

[nova geyser]

Ahhh

[wide trout]

oh so bigger is badder

[acoustic lagoon]

yea

my vision is actually worse than 20/60, but that's your central vision

that those numbers represent

my depth perception is thrown off course bc my eyes constantly move on their own

[acoustic lagoon]

sad, $95 in us, even if it's $20 off

[nova geyser]

Wtf there's no way it's normally cheaper than sn550/pilot e damm

[umbral trellis]

my vision bad as well

[acoustic lagoon]

pog, brother buying me the bx500

[burnt cedar]

I still don't know how you drive in those

[acoustic lagoon]

easy, i move my eye to look up and spot check for things like signs and obstacles

It's 85$ with a 20$ mir

[wicked crater]

no. raised priced and then fake "deal"

[humble schooner]

im p sure it isnt

iof you go to the dell site and spec an identical one

Unless im mistaken

[autumn thistle]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-ga15dk-ds776/p/N82E16883221675

this pc is a hell of a deal on today's market.

[tawny shoal]

lmao the one bad thing with it is that a crap cpu cooler like that on a 5800x is the definition of thermal throttle

im amazed asus even approved that lol

amazing specs for the price tho

[autumn thistle]

lol, i didn't think about that, i assumed asus would know better

[stable sandal]

I'm weary on the Mhz of the ram though

[tawny shoal]

same lol

[unborn phoenix]

Although an aftermarket would be what, like $50?

[tawny shoal]

around 60 prolly yea

[autumn thistle]

yeah

[tawny shoal]

ppl who buy this thing and leave it stock will easily thermal throttle at even stock speeds lel

[sand nimbus]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BY6F8D9?tag=perfecttechreviews-20 something like this for it then?

[glad meadow]

I have a 5800x, she gets toasty

so, yea. Dont skimp on the cooling

[tawny shoal]

depends on your airflow in your case, if you have good airflow, you could probably get away with a fuma 2 if you arent planning to oc it much

[sand nimbus]

oc?
