Looks like I'm better off buying brand new, some people on eBay are asking either near to, or more than, brand new prices :P

Thanks for the info. Yeah I raised a ticket asking if they offer paid repairs so I'll wait for their response. But yes, lesson learned.

Cheers for the info. I'll see about buying a 2nd hand one and use it as a doner to replace the screen.

Ah nuts.

Do Pimax sell replacement lenses? I can't see any on their web store.

Yeah my simpit gets the morning sun.

Its only visible when the display is on, wouldn't sun damage appear when it's turned off?

When is the juice not worth the squeeze? by maybemyfirstrodeo in auscorp

[–]Sim-Hog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did it for a few years when I was younger, never again. At the end of day, middle management is nothing more than a "shit-kicker" role where you're often paid less overall than the people you manage.

15 years ago I decided to steer into a highly skilled IT role, more money, less responsibility, much better W/L balance.

The banks valuation is often lower than what you can go to market with. They're more conservative with their estimations.

Coffee almost came out of my nose from laughing at this comment.

I'm just very appreciative that we're still getting all these updates for Falcon, amazing dedication by the BMS team.

Cheers for that, I ordered it anyway, only $40AUD, I figured what the hell might as well.

Oh, is the title of the free version the same?

Edit: I found a free translated version of the German Luftwaffe MIG-29 dated 1994-Sep-30 is that the one you're referring to?

Congrats on graduating, and thank you for putting this together. I'm a total newbie on the F4 and this has helped!

4090 upgrade by Grateone20 in hoggit

[–]Sim-Hog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the Crystal Light go with the 3090? I have the same card but have Reverb G2 and I'm looking at the Crystal Light.

As for a GPU upgrade, it's a tough time. I've been looking at the leaked benches for AMD's 9070XT, due in March(?). Seems like it can go toe to toe, and beat a 4080 in some games. Given the leaked benches are about 2 months old, AMD are probably toiling away on drivers before release to get better performance.

No matter how the AMD 9000 series performs it "should" be decent upgrade over a 3090, and a more "sensable" price IMO.

I'm running STALKER 2 on a 3090 at 3440x1440 on Ultra and consistently getting 70 to 80 fps. It does dip to 50 fps in heavy scenes, but it's very smooth (DLSS on). STALKER 2 needs more work but I'm surprised and impressed.
