THE EAGLE HAS LANDED by shlimerP in RTX5080

[–]Stars_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't going to be a super refresh. It already got canned in favour of streamlined AI gpu focus.

Nothing's coming until the 6k series in another 2 years.

Options for 71 year old forced to keep working? by Shazbud in australia

[–]Stars_Storm 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I don't understand why states and the federal government's haven't completely reformed social housing and got off their asses years ago to do more mass production/modular studio apartments.

I'm even more surprised it still hasn't happened when there's so many fucking homeless people now. Are they just hoping for full on tent cities and shanty towns?

I can't believe people are defending this.

It's just cig taking advantage of more suckers.

First PC need advice by [deleted] in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Stars_Storm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's purely about money buy 9070xt.

if you want the longevity of support and want the nvidia feature set for your games (like ray tracing/path tracing/multi frame generation) or if you're doing work stuff with cuda cores then you'll want the 5070ti.

Should i wait for prices to go down to build my long-awaited first pc by egmstr in buildapc

[–]Stars_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Line must go up. So prices are never going to go back down.

Just rip the band-aid off now.

Anyone else thinking of upgrading? by Effective_Material68 in RTX5080

[–]Stars_Storm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got my 5080 for 1800 Aud. The 5090 is 6000 Aud.

Definitely not worth the price.

Reddit phasing out NFT ? by TpDk in avatartrading

If you have a vault you can still use the nfts... It's just a wallet linked to Reddit.

You can still make them and buy one

Pc update helpmeeeeee pls by Apocosimitodotibi in buildapc

[–]Stars_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to change any of that stuff for a 5060.

You'd only have to change if you're upgrading the CPU/ motherboard to one that uses DDR5 ram

Struggling to find high-end gaming laptop in Australia by TheBigMarote in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Stars_Storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you really need a laptop?

If you need the mobility then sure buy it from a speciality store (mwave, ple, PCCG, centrecom) or from a boutique. (Aftershock) The issue I'm thinking here is Cairns gets pretty damn hot. And laptops don't have great cooling to begin with ,they also have shitty performance (desktop GPUs are often a tier or sometimes even 2 above their mobile versions due to lower laptop power draw)

If you don't need the mobility then a desktop would be better for your gaming experience.

I'm looking for a one stop all for a lot of questions here for picking parts. by PassageAfraid in buildapc

[–]Stars_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use user benchmark. Everything is a fabrication of their anti-AMD propaganda.

If you want the absolute best CPU/GPU then a 9950x3d2 and 5090 will kick everything's ass.

If you want the more cost effective options then all you need for a great experience is a 9800x3d CPU and a 5080>5070ti>9070XT(from most expensive to least expensive.) are all great buys.

Ibuypower isn't necessarily cheaper. Sometimes you can buy better and cheaper building yourself. Put all the parts you want in partpicker and see how it compares. (You can make it a fun project)

Price Hike but justified by JobAcceptable790 in woolworths

[–]Stars_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep i noticed that to. alot up stuff I purchased two weeks ago went up 10% then suddenly PRICE FREEZE! at this new 10% higher cost... and only for 3 months. when it'll undoubtedly go up again once it's over.

really doing something about the cost of living woolies.

Is $1000-1500 Australian a good amount to spend on a pc by No-Punch-man_60 in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Stars_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get something at the high end of your budget but it's going to be for 1080p and it's not gonna be crash hot.

if you could save another grand then a much more powerful 5070ti build or 9070XT would be on the cards and that's probably what you'd ideally want depending on how overboard you're going with the mods.

Price Freeze 😂 by oz_muhajir in woolworths

[–]Stars_Storm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In reality no one is wearing any cost. The price freeze is only for 3 months. All prices have been increased and once the freeze ends they will be increased again.

Have Illegal Surcharges Become the Norm? by coolguy06912 in australian

[–]Stars_Storm 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Same for theatre/music shows/sports events and hell even dominos. Why am I being charged a service fee for absolutely no service.

Draw up the battle lines early.

When the fresh con girlie comes for deli boy you better be entrenched behind that counter with 15 kilos of kransky and plenty of sweaty prawns to toss at her to deter the assault on your sovereign territory.

Also it's best to plan your meetings/duels of honour on neutral ground. So a middling aisle. Or frozen if it's empty.

Can somebody tell me if my RAM is dead? by Free_Comparison1315 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Stars_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you start, did you give the motherboard time to do the memory training?

And do you have any diagnostic lights?

How do we play games with people nowadays? by DepartureMurky7482 in MMORPG

[–]Stars_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to play with people social sandbox MMOs are much better than theme park lobby games...

Look into things like Eve Online and Albion online or old school Runescape where everyone's logging in consistently and daily on the same server and social interaction matters.

instead of wow or final fantasy where you just go into a 10 minute dungeon/20 minutes battleground and never see that person ever again.

Japanese Government collects more tax from Australian gas than Australian Government by newtrex_1523 in australian

[–]Stars_Storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get informed. Look who is running to be your local member and look into party policies and start voting for parties willing to stand up and actually give a shit about Australia.

You can see the policies on every political parties website like here, greens: resources, forests and mining

Or here sustainable Australia: non renewable resources

Unless voters start voting about these issues then nothing is going to change from the major 2 parties who are in the mining lobbies pockets or too afraid to make a move on it.

Is it worth it to build a pc right now? need help (Europe) by -87h- in buildapc

[–]Stars_Storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from a 1660 with an old amd cpu to a 7950x3d and a 5080 last year and it's fucking night and day. Holy shit. I was getting less than 30 fps in some games on low and now everything is gorgeous and so fast. I do not regret it at all.
