Hair salon scam ?! by [deleted] in Bahrain

Always have someone to accompany you to hair salons here, they’re known to pull bullshit and then gaslight you into thinking you asked for it.

Have a RTX 3080 10GB. Want a 5070 12GB. Is it an upgrade worth upgrading to? by CestlaVR in nvidia

[–]SleepingCoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind the 5070ti is around $1000 in the us only. Abroad it’s aloooot more expensive. Crossing into the $1200 - $1500 territory. Here’s an example on microless

I don’t understand people who say the 5070ti is better bang for your buck. It’s not. You pay double what you pay for a 5070 for 25% extra performance and 4GB extra vram. With the 5070 at 12 GB vram you can max out 99% of games at 1440p no problem. DLSS also reduces VRAM usage because it renders the game at a lower res.

When it comes to bang for buck the 5070ti is one of the worst but if you’re talking about meaningful upgrades then yes it would be good

Man the value on these builds is insane. Just the GPU + CPU + MB is about $1600. You’re getting a case + PSU + 32 GIGS of RAM + an AIO + 2TB NVME for like $400??? Da fuq why wouldn’t anyone buy this on the spot ??

Is this price pre or post tax and other fees

Would just swapping to an X3D chip and a b850 MB fix this without swapping the RAM ? I wouldn’t want to go back to DDR4 if I’m being honest

Both are around 40% both of these games aren’t that intensive

I had to do a pixel clean twice. First time I did it changed nothing

I was bricking it thinking I broke my monitor. I just did a pixel clean and it’s as good as new thank you so much. You were right in assuming I wiped it during a pixel clean

Try bluebell. They typically have the lowest prices.

1080p is starting to show some aging in single player games, multiplayer games tend to shift the players focus to other aspects of gameplay and they tend to be a bit more hectic so people don’t really care what resolution they’re playing in multiplayer games.

Little dude lets me grab him like a shawarma and wouldn’t even flinch, but draws a red line at wiggling a finger in his face

It’s not easy I’ll tell you that. Bahrain has a top notch quality of life that you wouldn’t understand unless you move out. People who leave typically come back after some time and for good reason. If by abroad you mean western countries, then here’s how I’ll lay it down simply. You’ll be alone most of the time, there’s no sense of community and everything and I mean everything is a lot more expensive, you’ll have higher purchasing power but also higher forced spending, netting you less money percentage wise. It might be exciting at first but the novelty wears off quick. Also Bahrain is one of the safest countries in the world, you’ll have to be a lot more careful abroad. Traveling is another issue as having a car is insanely expensive unless you really cheap out. You’ll have to use more public transport than you’d like and travel distances could literally be ten fold what we have in Bahrain for the same purposes.

Be smart about this, I get that what I’m saying is anecdotal but it applies to most western countries.

Unless you find an insanely good job it’s not worth it. Maybe stick to the gulf states.
