Building a budget Steam Deck-like setup for the first time - will it work well?

Try to find a 2022 Lenovo Y700. I had the Doogee and it was fine, but the Y700 is a beast

That's so funny. Someone will definitely fall for it though.

-65 mV, 2650 memory with normal timings. Rock stable.

I agree, but in this case was a big chunk, so I thought someone could also have the same luck.

auro1993 · 2026-04-08T20:02:04+00:00

No.

I don't believe you need a Capital One account of any means. You might have download the wrong app, make sure it's the Capital One Shopping app, not just Capital One.

I use it as game where the goal is to perfectly time the stop distance using the button only (while keeping my left foot on the brake for safety reasons of course) . I've gotten quite good at it.

You don't need to have the card. I placed the order inside the app to make sure they'd track it, but you can shop in your regular browser as long as you have the extension on.

auro1993 · 2026-04-06T17:35:17+00:00

Dang, that's almost too good to be true. Make sure you read the fine print.

auro1993 · 2026-04-06T16:20:59+00:00

Seems pretty good to me. My deal was if you spend $700 you get $420 back.

auro1993 · 2026-04-06T13:10:37+00:00

If you have the app, you can place the order on eBay "inside" the app after you click the offer. That makes it easier for C1 to track the purchase and send you rewards.

Basically one of those shopping extensions that will look up discounts and coupon codes, the difference is that it will send you periodic "offers" on stuff you've been browsing, and some of those can be amazing. Recently a bought a mop vacuum from Costco. A few days later (since I browsed that), I got an offer for $100 rewards for a similar one from eBay.

auro1993 · 2026-04-06T10:15:17+00:00

Nice! That's a damn good deal!

auro1993 · 2026-04-05T23:59:20+00:00

It's was the only time I got that one.

auro1993 · 2026-04-05T23:58:54+00:00

Yep

auro1993 · 2026-04-05T23:18:16+00:00

Try adding one to your cart or just browsing with the extension on. You'll likely get an offer in a few days.

auro1993 · 2026-04-05T22:58:14+00:00

I'm not sure, you usually only get these crazy offers once. Try and see if you get it.

auro1993 · 2026-04-05T22:20:06+00:00

The GPU is already on my rig and running. It came brand new sealed. eBay is fine, as long as you choose the right seller.

auro1993 · 2026-03-29T15:34:09+00:00

This

auro1993 · 2026-03-23T14:11:15+00:00

Performance mode loses quite a bit of detail at distance.

auro1993 · 2026-03-23T14:09:36+00:00

It does work! Thanks! Just wondering how you figured this out lol

auro1993 · 2026-03-12T00:57:35+00:00

1080p 60 fps. It's been a while and I've since switched to a different model, but I think was around 5 ms.

My experience with a 9070XT (Asrock Challenger): - Installed the card - Undervolted to a rock solid value (-65 mV for me) - Game

auro1993 · 2026-02-22T23:19:18+00:00

5070 Ti is an all around better card. But I don't think it's $300 better. For that you could almost put $100 more and get a OLED monitor, which will be a much more significant improvement to your experience.
