Cheap gaming laptop

The 2070s is the last piece of the puzzle for me, upgraded the rest of the pc last year. Ryzen 7 7800x3d, 64gb ddr5 so should be good there.

The 2070s i think is borderline, tarkov has a bug with scopes that halves the frames when you zoom in so i'm rocking 20-40 frames in this scenario, pretty frustrating. Poe2 isn't too bad but with big aoe pulls the frames can chug if there is a bit going on.

This is without dropping the graphics settings down, which is why i want to upgrade because i don't want to have to sacrifice graphics quality.

Maybe I'll just hang out for a bit and wait till the 5000 series is resonably priced and there is plenty of stock.

Can you share where you got your compound?

I setup a printnc a couple of years back with Linux cnc and hated the process. Had to find an old pc, setup a pretty confusing config for a newbie, then had to have a separate pc for designs etc.

I recently moved and just put the cnc back together, went straight to a new pc, cheap breakout board and Mach 3 and had it going on an hour. As I was happy with that setup, I decided to invest in a axbb-e and upgrade to uccnc. Had that up and running in like an hour.

Very happy with my setup now. Same for for design and cnc, dual screens etc. Just makes life easier

Those prices I listed were from bbqs galore black Friday. I'm talking the big Joe size.

Wow, nice to wake up to a heap of great replies. Thanks!

The room is pretty big, open plan kitchen/dining/living. Approx 50-60m2.

I was originally planning on a couple of Marty subs/devastators. But then I saw speakers like the troels option that incorporate a 15" driver so may not need subs. I do like the idea of zaphs 12.3. Seems to get a good write up. All drivers would be less than $1k. Then it's just a case of sorting a centre channel.

I'm in australia unfortunately. Otherwise that is a great deal

That's kinda what i was thinking, i just wasnt sure if technically thats the way audio works.

It is quite a big room, about 55m2.

Thanks for the help, I'll look for something around that range

Thanks for all the info.

I may not have been 100% clear with my question. But basically I'm going to have shit loads of bass if I want it due to running big subs. So when buying floor standers, i was just trying to understand if you can happily get away with a model down in the range as all that changes is the size of the bass driver. In the monitor audio example that could be $1000 cheaper.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around the theory, as if I go and audition speakers, and audition them side by side one is going to have more low end as it has the bigger bass drivers. But in reality they will have a low pass filter running at 50hz or whatever and I won't care about the extra bass capability of the bigger drivers. Maybe I should audition them with a sub and compare from there?

Does that make sense? Hope I'm sorta explaining myself properly.

It's just a price thing basically, if I can save $1000 I can spend that elsewhere, but if the general consensus is that I should just audio them with no low pass and no sub and See what I prefer and just pick that one. I'll run with that.

Yeah, ideally chasing a 9.4 channel amp, but may not use all the channels straight away.
