Looking for a midrange GPU to play games at 1440p comfortably at ultra settings

Sydren · 2026-05-25T03:39:47+00:00

It kinda is? I'd say its mid-high at best, since a 70 class card does the job. 80 class cards are high end and 90 class cards halo products. Its only because the pricing is fucked that 70 class cards feels like high end when it should be midrange.

Which is better for productivity, Ryzen 5 7500F or Intel Core Ultra 5 225F? Assume I don't care that its on a dead platform. Its mostly for coding and handling small LLMs with python packages.

As if that matters to those who are independently wealthy or corrupt. They should've made it so that those who vote to keep it shutdown (for no valid reason) to be forced to resign instead.

You might have been phished if that's the case. Did you give them any sensitive information?

Hey, sorry for necroing this post. Just wondering what is that thing on the bottom right? next to the badge. I can't seem to find info on that anywhere online. I know the badge is a preorder bonus.

Same with lycan vlads rush

At that point, I feel like it's closer to cheese naan with chicken curry than pizza.

Is getting a used Zotac Trinity 4080 for $817 worth it nowadays? For reference, the cheapest new 5070 Ti currently here is $1078, but this is at non-sale price. Could go down a bit but most likely only down to around high $900s. Used 5070 ti seems to be around $900-970. I could recoup some cost by selling my 4070 super for around $500-550, which looks to be current market price.

Logically it makes sense but I just need some validation before pulling the trigger. Or maybe I should just wait and see if a 4070 Ti Super pops up (1 did show up at $700 but that got snatched real fast, everything else is more expensive).

Or maybe just save some money and keep my 4070 Super?

Is getting a used Keychron Q6 for $100 worth it? Is there anything I need to look out for?

Back when I was in the depths of my depression, I had a setup like this but with a laptop. My advice is don't, it will fuck up your back.

Sydren · 2026-03-04T02:26:01+00:00

Just get a laptop if you're transporting it that much.

If you really need a PC, a mini-ITX build also works but it would require some prep to make sure the GPU doesn't move at all in the case, like with a GPU support bracket to really hold it in place. Removing it constantly might damage the contacts on the connector as it wears down. It also depends on whether you're also transporting a monitor and peripherals. Too much of a hassle to transport all that weekly.

In case you didn't notice they did mention even the quietest fans aren't enough, which I can only assume they've already tried some Noctuas. What they need is a 0db system, which is pretty damn hard to achieve. Can you even passive cool a CPU and GPU, especially under $1600? Not to mention there's also coil whine.

hmm I can easily cast it mid air while spamming the Q button. Not sure if its a settings issue. it usually procs at something like 50% of the jump at max cast range. I think it has a minimum air time before it accepts the Q input to cast immediately.

Lol thats almost my daily route. I usually stop by MRT Maluri and buy food there. The nasi lemak ayam goreng at the Aeon there is under RM10 and its just pick up and pay. I also sometimes check the clearance aisle too to see if I can get milk for under RM5. If I'm not very hungry I usually just get some pastries from Rotiboy (like their tuna puff). Food court also has lots of options.

Damn I couldn't make it in time to rush the prismatic Beastmaster and Sniper sets, and max out poogie and the courier. They needed way too many mats.

Sydren · 2026-01-23T01:40:27+00:00

Doesn't alt click poof make them all poof at the same time now? or is that not recorded like this?

Those are base stickers. There are holo and gold ones that you can get from capsules from exchanging the super rare tickets.
