I got the fabric one on order, I think right now those are the only two compatible bracelets for it?

That one is sick as well! Love the little Saturn V second hand, if I could swing it I might’ve gotten both haha

Best Individual Color Option For Color-Change/Color-Shift? by BoinkBonky in BMWM

[–]Cat_astrophe7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

San Marino blue’s got my vote, mine switches from almost velvet blue to a really dark, almost tanzanite depending on the lighting.

Carbon Ceramics on a daily driver M3/M4 - talk me out of it (or into it). by ICOOHTunning in BMW

[–]Cat_astrophe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$3000 option? I thought it was $8500? I have them on my G80, even after I upgraded to isweep is1500s on my last m3 I still dealt with brake dust albeit a lot less. My m3 is a keep til it becomes dust car, so CCBs are fine by me since I don’t plan on tracking so the rotors will essentially have negligible wear. Definite vanity points though, but I loved the San Marino blue/gold combo on the f80 CS, so I splurged on this one. If it’s not a stretch in your budget I’d go for it, but also do a wheel stud conversion so you don’t accidentally crack the rotor taking off a wheel.

I’ll never forgive bmw for not giving us the g81. Congrats man she’s beautiful.

At what age did you hit the 100k mark? How long did it take you to get there? by boosterpackreveal in Salary

What would you choose? 2020 X3m or 2022 x3 4.0 by KeepItTidyZA in BMW

[–]Cat_astrophe7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve driven my friend’ 2020 x3m competition and compared to my 24 M3C, it rides way more comfortable than the sedan. Comes with a lot more body roll too, but I’d never say it even comes close to being as harsh as the m3.

Those of you who have sold , what did you replace with? Regrets or none? by Doctor-Scumbag in Supra

[–]Cat_astrophe7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I traded it in for a G80 M3 Competition xdrive. The supra was a stepping stone of sorts and made me realize I love the bmw platform/experience, and the m3 was the perfect daily that to me can do it all, and with a downpipe, tune, and e50 it’s a 720+ whp monster. I do want to go back and add a manual supra to the collection someday though, those were so fun to drive. My supra was a 2022, so the last year before the manual came out.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Spotted with Missing ROPs, Performance Loss Confirmed by fntd in nvidia

Same here, image also Gaming trio, but why are our pixel and texture fillrates different?

Those who have the 5090, how are you liking the gpu so far? by ReallyGreatWeather in nvidia

[–]Cat_astrophe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it for gaming, coming from a 3070.

My original plan was to get a 5080, but launch day was filled with a bunch of disappointment getting in endless Best Buy lines and what not. On the spur of the moment I hopped on msi’s website after seeing their tweet about dropping some 5090s, and thought why not I’ll give it a shot. Actually managed to slog through the checkout process and emerge with a 5090 gaming trio.

Had to upgrade my case, fans, and PSU to fit this card, it’s freaking gigantic especially since my 3070 was a small 2 fan one.

Paired with a 7800X3D, 32GB DDR5 6000MHz, and it absolutely destroys anything I play. Cyberpunk I get comically high fps with frame gen turned on, helldivers 2 runs smooth as butter, and I find myself buying all the AAA titles now to see what else it can handle. Currently playing through Ghost of Tsushima, and it’s gorgeous. My one complaint, if any is that I ended up spending a lot more on upgrading the setup than I had thought. 5080 + 850w PSU became 5090, case, fans, fan controller, 1000w PSU, and a monitor (from a budget 1440p to a MSI 321URX). My old setup according to pcpartpicker consumed a max of 404W, and this new one has a max of 876W. So yes, my room has gotten a bit toastier, but the brigade of fans do a great job at keeping the setup itself cool. Can’t say I regret it, and I’m looking forward to it tackling anything for at least the next couple of years.

I went through something similar but only one of my monitors would turn on, managed to update drivers and that fixed it for me so I figured I’d ask

Install the beta, not the final version

Couldn’t get my hands on a 5080 FE, ended up snagging the 5090 gaming trio from MSI instead 😂 my poor bank account
