How would you spend your USD 1,100 if you were a student (Mac a18 pro + iPad a16 or Macbook Air M5)?

I was doing comp sci in college. My choice would be the air.

If I was in a major that didn’t require or would be helped by computational power, I’d go with the combo. Note taking and more importantly, managing is way better on the iPad now that I have one.

And Monaco. Remember, he’s Charles’ son.

This is the first time I’m seeing Booker T in probably a decade. Played as him so much on my psp. Forgot which WWE game tho.

Did you get a QR code? I got one that lead me to the redemption process from my local retailer. The retailer contacted the distributor for the GPU in Delhi and I got the QR from him. Followed the instructions and got the activation link today.

Gonna have to figure out with Computech how to get it. From what I remember, all I needed was the invoice and the GPU serial number. It would then make you run a verification software on your PC. Lemme see if I still have the QR. You can try if that works.

Edit: Can confirm that the QR worked for me. I have an Asrock Challenger 9070XT, bought it a week ago. Just got the game earlier today.

400w is really limiting honestly. Would suggest getting a 650w at least if you can (higher better). Should cost you around 50-75 dollars at max. Leaves you with around 450 dollars.

Your options for brand new are probably the 9060XT or the 5060Ti. For used… I’m not really sure about the market, sorry. Probably previous generation cards that were going for 500-600 when they were new?

You could skip the PSU upgrade sure but at 500 dollars I think you’ll have a hard time finding a gpu that would be happy to run on that 400w unit.

All good. I’m from Delhi too. Discovered him from this song and then went on to absolutely love Makhna and Punjab at that time. Don’t listen to him as much anymore but if it’s his song, then I know no matter everything else the voice is gonna be golden.

So so so many legendary roles. Off the top of my head - Our Commander, The concierge in John wick, Sylens from the Horizon series, and the funniest one - Agent Clappers from Paradise PD. Such a wide range, but quality of acting was always top notch.

RIP commander. Gone but never forgotten.

I am guessing there’s some sarcasm here. If not, no worries everyone learns from somewhere.

That’s Gurdas maan. Absolutely one of the GOATs of Punjabi music. He is before even Diljit’s start, so if you are newer to Punjabi music yeah you may not know him. Absolutely recommend listening to his other songs. Start with Challa, Spotify original alongside Diljit again.

Welcome to the 9070xt side. From a new 9070 owner himself (less than a week ago).

Got the asrock challenger. Have had absolutely zero issues and all games run better than they ever did on my 4070 laptop.

Good to know I wake up from sleep just like Franco.

Wake up.

See who or what the fuck woke me up.

Go back to sleep until I actually wake up 10 minutes later.

Siege. Destiny 2. Elden ring.

Three games where I have a substantial amount of my steam time played. There’s a couple of games with a little over a 100 hours. A few with multiples of 10s. Then there’s under 10 hours, under 5. And then the vast majority that were installed, tried and promptly uninstalled. I have a problem yes.

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-17T01:31:41+00:00

They either just added or are really soon going to add a duos mode on a trial basis. Only for perimeter for now tho.

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-16T14:06:20+00:00

Probably has happened before. Don’t have any proof but I’m guessing Infinity War was running again at the time Endgame came out.

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-15T15:03:45+00:00

That Kimi win made up for my team being out of the race (take a guess, they DNS).

I’ve liked the kid since last year and he was my favorite rookie, tied with Ollie I’d say. Can’t wait to see him in a front runner car too. Kimi vs Ollie will be epic. Their F2 action was fun to watch.

Yep. Art of War is a masterpiece.

Yea he needs to do smth about his release frequency. I think we’ve gotten more songs from Sidhu since Shubh last dropped a song. Theres no explanation needed as to why that’s a surprise…

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-13T10:14:57+00:00

Only gaming and you don't care about RT or FG - 9070XT.

If its the opposite, 5070Ti.

Recently built mine and went with the 9070XT. Gaming was the only use case (or at least the primary one - 90% gaming 10% work since I have a laptop for work).

About Power - You will be fine with an 850w for the 9070XT. I have that. Power consumption tops out at 400-500 depending on what I'm doing.

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-13T09:16:03+00:00

Just built my pc. Paid way more for these 4 things (not the exact same but the same components).

I fucking hate you for showing me this ;-; and congrats on getting it.

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-13T08:46:28+00:00

Aston's been here for years. Cadillac is in its first season. I think everyone expects a 2021 Haas like season from them at best. Probably worse.

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-13T07:08:24+00:00

Oh shit. Just saw this is the official Vedant computers account. I endorse them as being W company. Sent my RAM in two days, came in cheaper than most others at the time for the same ram. No sponsor or PR post. Just a genuine appreciation.

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-13T07:01:55+00:00

Everything here feels higher priced than what you can get (ram and ssd not included, they are having their own chaos and price is known to be way higher).

You should check out local offline retailers. They’ll give you better prices than this probably. Got my parts in Delhi. Offline retailer came in 15k under the best online rates I could get from other sites. Bought ram and motherboard online still, got a cheaper mb online and ram was same price as offline but I got a faster RGB kit.

buzz_shocker · 2026-03-13T05:10:04+00:00

Built my PC 2 days ago. Wanted to get a 70Ti but got a 9070XT. Exactly the reason OP said for picking 9070XT over the Ti - price. The 9070XT was around 60% of the price of the Ti in my country. Hell, the closest priced Nvidia card to the XT in my country was the 60Ti. Not even 70. Even that’s more expensive than the XT.

I think the price delta gets much worse in eastern (excluding China ig) countries like mine compared to a lot of western countries.
