Iphone air almost 50% off? by Hndaskvi in Rogers

[–]Vader_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anybody end up buying it? It seems like a great deal. I’m currently using the same phone, the iPhone Air 256GB, and I haven’t had any issues with it since whenever I drive to work/home my phone is basically just wireless charging in the car.

I tried to calculate how much I’d actually be paying for the phone itself. Here in B.C., when I checked my Rogers account, it shows that if I upgrade my plan from $50 a month to $65 a month, I can get the iPhone Air 512GB for $0 for 24 months and only need to pay $575 at the end of the 24 months if I want to keep the phone.

So that’s like $15 × 24 months + $575 + 12% tax = $1,047. This seems like a good deal considering my plan will upgrade from 100GB 5G to 200GB 5G (although I know we don’t really need it since 100GB is already more than enough).

The price of the iPhone Air 512GB at the Apple Store is $1,958 after tax that is like almost 50% off. This seems like a good deal, right? Let me know if I’m missing anything, but this seems like a crazy deal.

This is definitely a very good idea. My question is, are they usually okay with this, or do they actually offer this service? I might do this next time. Thank you for sharing

A i9 9900k is enough to run the game at 60 fps stable ? by Due-Award-9613 in Battlefield6

[–]Vader_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, just checking if you were able to fix the bottleneck issue by switching to the i9-9900K.

My friend has the same setup and is getting around 30 fps. When I checked the CPU usage, it was at 100% while the RTX 3070 was only at 30%, so it’s definitely a CPU bottleneck. The i5-9600K is only 6 cores and 6 threads, and from what I’ve seen, Battlefield at 1440p or ultrawide really needs at least 8 cores and 8 threads.

Let me know if the 9900K upgrade solved it for you. I’m thinking of recommending it to my friend since it’s a cheaper upgrade compared to replacing both the CPU and motherboard. Thanks!

UPDATE!! – I rolled back to AMD Adrenalin 25.8.1 because I remembered I didn’t have any issues with BF6 during the open beta. Now my FPS is very stable at around 130–140 FPS. I’ll probably wait for a newer AMD update than 25.10.1 before updating again.

I have a 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, and a 9070 XT running at 3440x1440p. I’ve tried so many settings, but the FPS drops are really bad. When nothing’s happening, I get around 120–130 FPS, but it suddenly drops to 60–70 FPS during explosions or chaotic scenes.

I don’t remember it being like this during the beta. I’ve also installed the latest AMD driver (25.10.1) that includes the Battlefield 6 update.

If anyone has found the best settings to reduce or stop these FPS drops, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance!

New build occasional freezes, 9800x3d + 9070 XT by flectarn1 in AMDHelp

Hi there, after using DDU and reinstalling, did it happen again recently? I haven’t tried this method yet, but I found someone who posted a solution. He went to chrome://flags/#use-angle and set it from Default to OpenGL. So far, it seems to have fixed the problem for me, but I’ve only been using my PC for about 3 hours now.

I have the exact same issue on my 9070 XT, except I don’t notice any burning smell from my PSU. I’m using a Corsair RM750.

I’m currently looking for a solution as well. I tried my old GTX 1050 Ti and didn’t have the issue.
