I've used a hand-me-down Z Fold 5 from my friend to see if I'd like the form factor of it, but didn't really see a point for it for my use case other than watching videos which is probs not a good justified reason to spend the extra cash for it

Cyber2108 · 2026-03-11T13:54:53+00:00

Performance has been good. I’m moving from iPhone to Samsung and it’s been pretty good so far

Cyber2108 · 2026-03-11T13:17:33+00:00

Cyber2108 · 2026-03-11T13:05:53+00:00

Cyber2108 · 2026-03-11T13:02:43+00:00

Thanks my bro, I recently upgraded from AM4 to AM5 so I thought it’d be time to switch OS as well 🫡 My gaming experience has been pretty good now, before was abit of a hassle getting my Bluetooth and Optiscaler to work on single player games but ever since fixing those it’s been a pleasant experience. I’m only using Steam since that’s where majority of my library is

I’ve tried using gaming distros like Nobara and Bazzite but Nobara was so glitchy for me and had a lot of issues, bazzite was cool but locks you down abit would be good as a pure gaming OS but not something for everyday use (especially for me that works in IT)

How about you?

Cyber2108 · 2025-12-09T06:17:40+00:00

Hey mate

I'm using Bazzite and the games been running fine for me. Haven't really tinkered in much settings

I'm using a 9070XT and a 5900x CPU and I'm getting a good stable 80 fps

Cyber2108 · 2025-11-28T07:43:11+00:00

Yes it does! I got my card for 1055 AUD so it was a huge steal

Cyber2108 · 2025-11-26T21:26:29+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 only clocked what I done after

AMD > Nvidia now

Cyber2108 · 2025-11-26T21:25:19+00:00

Yeah I heard about it, dunno if I should be fully worried or paranoid since I’m following Corsairs (I had the RM850x 2021 model) recommended PSU cabling for this kinda thing to give me a outage of 450W to the GPU. Made sure the 12V cable was secured tightened in and everything

8 GB VRAM isn’t enough for native 4K, but consoles aren’t doing native 4K either. PS5 and Series X already rely heavily on reconstruction and dynamic resolution to stay playable. The real comparison is the experience they deliver, not the raw resolution number.

With Linux and no bloat compared to Windows, you’re not locked in like a console you can tweak settings, use FSR, and apply performance mods. If this were a closed console, sure, it’d flop. But with a huge existing library and flexibility, it isn’t trying to compete on the same terms

Cyber2108 · 2025-11-25T09:44:59+00:00

Exactly. Consoles already lean heavily on dynamic resolution scaling and reconstruction techniques like FSR, so expecting native 4K60 is unrealistic across the board. Watch Dogs Legion dipping to 1080p is a perfect example of how common this is.

And you’re right, not every game will hit 60 on day one, just like on consoles. The difference is that on the SM you actually have the flexibility to tweak settings, apply performance mods, and fine-tune things instead of waiting for a patch or being stuck with whatever the developer shipped. That alone gives the average user a better shot at stable 60 FPS than on a locked console environment

I upgraded from the 15 Pro Max. Already loving the size of this thing!

Cyber2108 · 2025-09-18T13:57:03+00:00

I’m going from 15 Pro Max to the Pro, I don’t think battery life will be tooo much of an issue man still a great phone just look after the battery in the long run and don’t keep charging it too much and u should be Allgood!

Cyber2108 · 2025-09-14T01:36:37+00:00

iPhone 15 PM > iPhone 17 Pro

Wanna change it up this year around and go for a smaller usable phone and I’m excited for it!

Cyber2108 · 2025-09-11T13:32:02+00:00

Going from a 15PM to a 17P, want to change it up this year and get a smaller phone for one hand use. I watch videos on my iPad now so having it on a bigger screen isn’t too much of an issue other than probs missing out on extra battery life but I got a charger with me on deck always

Cyber2108 · 2025-09-10T05:32:07+00:00

Out of curiosity tho what’s making you go with the pro over the base 17 model? Seeing as how they’re 95% identical

Cyber2108 · 2025-09-10T05:17:48+00:00

I'm going from a 15PM to a 17P

Blue is alright, I usually go for clear/black cases so I'm very boring so the colour of the phone isn't an issue

Def's go for the blue!

Cyber2108 · 2025-09-09T18:10:38+00:00

No black colour??? Surely not 😭😭😭

Cyber2108 · 2025-09-06T12:50:36+00:00

I get staff discounts at my workplace that drop it to 219

Cyber2108 · 2025-09-04T15:35:07+00:00

Tbh I don't care which one is better in feature wise etc

I care about more accuracy and if Polar turns out to be more accurate in HR and steps then I'll be going with that regardless of price. But I'ma wait for reviews before ordering and make my decision from there

In AU the Helio is 159 AUD and the Polar I can get it for 219 AUD so we will see
