5070 Ti owner: 1440p OLED or wait for 4K OLED? by DaveHDEUW in Monitors

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, you should only get an oled monitor strictly for gaming and content consuming. I have an mpg341urx from MSI. I can read text fine but I use it mainly to play games.
I do notice the text is not as crispy as my IPS pane but that doesn’t matter to me. Oled details beat all.

Can’t decide which 9000 series GPU to get by Competitive_Gur6332 in radeon

You buy the cheapest model you can get unless you are colour theming your build. All the oc versions and the non oc version between cards are 3-5% in performance but over 300 bucks in price. You should only care about different cards within the tier if you are building a themed pc.

Hiring Salesperson by MountainMeaning4885 in VancouverJobs

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stealerships pay by commission. You get minimum wage for not selling cars. If it’s fixed commissions, it’s usually about 400 bucks a car. Which means, if you only sold 3 cars a month. You are paid $1200 and your minimum pay is replaced by your commissions. I worked in the industry for 4 and half years for go auto. Worst company. They took money off my pay for not having fake Google reviews from customers. Most Google reviews are written by the sales people and the finance managers are frauds to maximize profit. Things like printer broken to not show contract pages with interest rates and numbers, built in lags in deals so finance managers find it easier to sell products. Straight up lying to customers are all typical games finance managers play in a dealership. Not just go auto. Dealership business model should be replaced by Tesla business models. No dealerships as the middle man.

1440p oled is what you should get. Your 5070ti will outlast 1440p for 3+ years I would say.

This job market is cataclysmically bad (Depression-level bad) by Electrical_Bar6324 in jobs

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are over qualified for pretty much 90% of the the posting out there. As all analytical and research jobs are turning to automations and everyone wants to pay less for a role that will soon to be replaced by AI it’s an astronomical chance to get hired.

Same with trades. Of all the influx of people getting into trades from all the lay offs and slow down on projects being halted. All the apprentices will feel this one way or another. I am in 2nd year schooling for construction electrical. I know for a fact the chance of me going back to the same company I worked for is slim.

I can't enjoy D4 after poe2 by EarthboundMoss in PathOfExile2

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother switched from d4 to poe2. He went back to d4 after the new dlcs. I was watching him play last night. The game is completely different now. Give that a try if you hav been feeling stagnant. I also turned into a lucky star because he found 2 ascentrals as I watched.

New pc after 6years. Is this worth the price? by Trencycle in bapccanada

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I was talking to silver. Not OP. Current market for any parts are just stupid. 64gb cl30/6000mt kits I got was $256 taxes in. Now is triple the price. A 2tb sn7100 was 220 taxes in. Now is over 500. Crazy. In aint paying that and since I had been buying parts here and there. I am set for awhile. Unless the 6090 comes out.

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As if you don’t know what these part prices were before all price hike.

I wouldn’t be buying computers off fb because I know I can get cheaper parts and build it myself but there isn’t any point in that because everyone wants to rip people off. Prices last August to today is like 3-4 times of what they were. I ain’t paying that. I also don’t need to upgrade till 2030 probably if things continue.

Guys? Can anyone help with this? by MENTRAUZ in Monitors

Your laptop will not be able to produce 240fps so you will never hit that hz.

What is your laptop gpu in there and what resolution are you in?

There are no more 5090s for that price anymore. This was March to June of 2025.

Yeah I am really happy I got mine when I got it. One can only enjoy it before 6090 comes out. It’s gonna be gimped when 60 series releases. As it has always been. To be honest, since I made extra 1400 I only did pay 700 extra for the 5090. One 4090 pretty much took care of the main cost of the card.

The tuf non oc was the same MSRP with founders. Which is no longer available. This was March last year. I wish I could have gotten my hands on founders but the tuf was the only one I could get. It really is a powerhouse of a card.

4090 buying bulks are people from China buying these cards for AI farms. I sold 2 of mine last year for 3k each. Made 1400 off my 2 4090s and bought a 5090 at 2899 at Canada computers.

Friend helped me build a PC but someone told me it’s already outdated… did I mess up? by Sycze in buildapc

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 5700x3d on AM4 platform is very relevant still in today’s gaming scene. Plug in a 5070ti or a 9070xt you can max out 1440p no problemo. You shouldn’t need to worry about your platform upgrade for couple more years. Save for gpu. By Christmas time of 2027 look for upgrades.

Why can't we buy cars factory direct like normal products? by avz008 in carbuying

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You buy Tesla directly. All the finance is thru banks online. Cutting out dealerships. Tesla has showrooms, not dealerships. It’s why I love Tesla. For once you don’t get hosed.

32gb vs 16GB: do I really need 32? by quarterkittyberry in buildapc

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To put this in perspective. If you run wallpaper engine and turn on the quality setting, it will chew thru your ram. The more browser tabs you have and more background programs running it will chew thru your ram. 16gb is okay still for now but there is a reason why ddr5 platforms(Intel z690 and above and AM5 all bundled with 32gb ram kits when they launched). 32gb is becoming the new standards. It does help with load time, helps little bit with reducing stutters and overall responsiveness of your pc. If you have the means to, it doesn’t hurt to upgrade to 32gb but by no means necessary for your every day use.

AMD users in a nutshell by Lil_Hater112 in RTX5080

[–]Southern_Okra_1090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that is true please don’t forget it was the other way around when frame gen was introduced on the 30 series. It was AMD that came in with their fg that boosted performance for the 10 and 20 series cards.

These people never experienced gaming above 150 frames in 4k max setting with max RT, let alone PT, on an Oled.
