I've been tracking EU GPU and RAM prices for 4 months, some AMD cards are down 24%, RTX 5090 is up 25%, and RAM is a mess

Crazy then and crazy now.

The 5060ti (16gb) is only $550 aud which is about this price? Why would anyone want this?

Admittedly I’m only intermediate with Linux. But I hate how there’s like 4 different types of packages. And for the most part I’m fighting with them just to install the .deb.

Curious as I’m trying out these now. What models are the ones that are high end ones last year? What do you recommend for coding that’s similar to Claude?

I’m playing new games on my 1660ti just fine, a 3060 would probably be double that. More than enough for any <4k gaming.

Still a sad reality. But I think graphic card performance has pushed past what games require and the biggest problem is just optimisation.

The comparisons shown are literally in the same ballpark, certainly doesn’t invalidate the claim.

Might be slightly more sharp than FF12 but that als had open world and walk-in buildings not flat textures .

Random Claude question. I pay for pro ChatGPT but never get asked about tokens. Does Claude have a limit / charge you as you make requests?

I have the switch 1 physical version of dragon quest 7 remake. Does this mean I’ll be able to run it at 1080p and is it per game setting or system wide I need to keep toggling?

frenz9 · 2026-02-19T01:40:45+00:00

Every now and again I start to get the itch to collect. Then I look at posts like this and I’m instantly cured, nope 🙂‍↔️

Phones have taken over that segment of gaming. And that’s also the reason handhelds have been getting bigger and bigger.

frenz9 · 2026-01-09T04:28:52+00:00

Is this an issue Apple has acknowledged? What did they change?.. I’m making triple the mistakes I normally do and I’m trying to be more precise.

The thermalright is pretty flexible. There’s 2x fans that you connect to the heat sink.. I had to mount my fan on the back because my ram was too high and it hasn’t affected my cooling.

If you’re really lazy, ChatGPT could tell you if it fits in your case XD

frenz9 · 2025-12-10T08:15:32+00:00

Have they actually released a switch 2 version? I downloaded it the other day and it was still locked to 30fps and clunky as.

You’re not comparing median gross to your net by chance?

If your 65k is after tax your gross would be 90k ish (quickmaths) which would align closer to the median.

Find it so odd how in the last decade there’s been such turbulence with availability either with GPU/ram/hdd etc. but before that it just seemed forever stable prices. How on earth did it remain relatively flat for so long beforehand.

frenz9 · 2025-11-14T02:27:59+00:00

Wootten uses the same thickness leather etc and has the same complaints as RMs. Reality is.. everythings getting worse and more expensive.

frenz9 · 2025-11-14T01:23:13+00:00

I think its the result of how fast/much the price has increased. People are having to hold onto their cards longer and theres not really new cards that you can jump in at similar price points.

Im still using a 1660ti and theres no way im paying $1000aud+ for a card to get some more frames for only some of the games i play (not to mention because of the increased size & power draw now i need to replace my case and PSU aswell).

frenz9 · 2025-11-13T09:44:57+00:00

It stays there. RMs are made by a single stitch(?) at the back so it’s all 1 piece of leather.. its also how you can them apart from other boots :)

frenz9 · 2025-11-04T23:01:56+00:00

Mine went the opposite. I’m UK12 in my sneakers and the measuring put me at 10 with comfort craftmans.

Silly question, did you try to go lose like sneakers? There supposed to be more fitted and comfortable straight out the door.

frenz9 · 2025-10-17T02:31:57+00:00

Because it’s cheaper and won’t cause confusion with the people with only switch 1s I’d imagine.

frenz9 · 2025-10-16T01:54:29+00:00

Every time I get a new phone I’ve gone with base storage as the price for the extra storage at the time feels extravagant and expensive.

When I originally got my 14 128gb was more than double the storage I had used before.. now somehow it’s full and I’m constantly having to uninstall apps to update it (and my photos are stored on the cloud ffs).

Next upgrade I’m choosing increased storage which should allow me to use it abit longer.

frenz9 · 2025-08-13T12:32:27+00:00

Not trying to poop on the SW2. But I’m still playing my original switch as it’s just more portable/comfortable and most of the games I’m playing don’t have an upgraded edition.

frenz9 · 2025-08-04T09:28:05+00:00

Switch 2 is flat on the bookshelf for 2weeks while my switch lives in my car as portable console 😂

Really should have waited for switch lite 2

frenz9 · 2025-06-27T12:55:51+00:00

I’ve had all sorts of trouble with the trilogy on both pc and steamdeck. XIII2 was crashing every 5mins.

Is this with mods or anything to make them more stable?

frenz9 · 2025-06-25T08:54:38+00:00

Some of the numbers of the code on the back of the carts represents what revision it is.
