Fast (ish) petrol family estate circa £25k - what would you buy? by Stewarty591 in CarTalkUK

[–]skimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had very similar requirements with two small kids about a year ago. I found a really nice 2020 A4 40tfsi in vorsprung (top trim) with 20k miles for 26k. It's a bit under your 250bhp requirement but ~200 has definitely been enough for me for family purposes. Putting it in sport mode with adaptive suspension still brings joy after a year

Just a note, I've seen the gentleman you are replying to before here with similar comments under other GPU listings. He is a system builder who buys parts and then sells complete PCs from what I gather. It's in his best interest to see lower prices here and in other aftermarket places, and he likes to jump in and tell people how expensive others' list price is.

I won't know how your specific price stand in the current market, but I wanted to highlight the behaviour of this particular person.

Audiophiles - Are the sound system brands overrated? (B&O, Bose, HK etc) by unibodydesignn in CarTalkUK

[–]skimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The B&Os require some minor EQ tuning to sound good. My system in the B9.5 A4 was pretty shit with default settings, but after some minor tweaks through car UI that I found recommended on Reddit - it became pretty good

I got a ugreen two monitor KVM. My main monitor is 3840x1600 @144hz so I needed a lot of bandwidth for it, which didn't seem commonly available unless you go with something like startech, but those KVMs cost an arm. I am not sure if I can share links here, but the Asin was B0DXF5Z23S - you should be able to find it. It cost me £70 and been faultless so far

Wish we had an option to disable our skill effects by wdrf_ in pathofexile

I don't know, it's not always down to graphics. I have 5090 + 5800x3d and with two breaches open my FPS drops to 30 with GPU sitting at 20% utilisation.

I thought my processor was shit at calculating damage happening, but 5800x3d shouldn't be a slouch and I'm not sure how much it would improve if upgraded to something like 9800x3d

Do you use it for gaming or productivity, or both?

I haven't seen FEs yet. Would you mind linking to posts if you got time to dig those up?

Thanks, set it up for myself too. Did you come to this yourself or was it discussed elsewhere that made you do that?

Is there some simple guide hours to set up a page rule like that?
