incipient replied to Douges on Anker USB C (Nano II 65W) 3-Port Gan Charger $33.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ AnkerDirect AU via Amazon AU
Usb cables only really matter over 60W, so for this charger, it won't matter. General rule is just never buy anything unbranded. Cheap…

incipient commented on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 Laptop: Intel Ultra 7 155U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD $1899 (Was $3739) Delivered @ Lenovo Outlet
In before this gets compared to an IdeaPad for cheaper. But to be fair, all lenovo rrps are a joke. Arguably less believable than luggage…

Pretty amazing mid end card for $550 lol. I mean, given the alternatives. Or $399 if you went with the 8gb version. But I meant the dual…

The dual fan version is actually a good balance of size and cooling - at least on the 9060xt card. Fits in a fairly small case (just) and…

Yeah but it's Amazon. Their reviews are all crap. Any fake brand has fake reviews. There are literally guides on the internet to fake…

You have to re-download the config file every 15 minutes (legit). It's entirely useless haha.

I use 150% scale (which is equivalent to qhd I think?) which looks good at 27".

You could definitely go either way, but honestly even at FHD with new-ish games, 8gb is a big risk. Id take a 25% performance hit to avoid…

Unless you had a very specific reason to get this card, the 7900xtx was a MUCH better choice. So good, that it was probably a pricing error…

These things are truly awful. 3 for $3, and I still felt ripped off. Are only one.

Technically FSR4 can run on older cards, but lack of FP8 support makes it a bit slower. And it's not official haha.

Yeah, so they take a ryobi design, with verified components, swap them out for whatever is a 10th of the price, and sell "the same thing".

You're absolutely right! That's how probabilities work. It's just not worth taking the risk that a random brandless product, with no…

Appears you're mostly right. It depends HEAVILY on how 'good' the modified sine wave is, and how much of a spike in amps it has when…

Does anyone else find these don't break well along the perforation and you rip off random sizes?
