(among other variants) there's one that's [just a headphone…

I assume you mean 7900 XTX (1 generation old), not 6950 XT (2 generations old)? The gap was not substantial at launch, and seems to be…

While including that information makes the post better, I don't think it needs to be mandatory. Someone in the market for a specific…

Haha I assume you mean Umart both times, not just the latter. Otherwise this would be some _extra_ fun trivia!

There have been last-minute switcheroos (even on confirmed-coming games) before, but in this case it looks like we really are getting it.

Did you just cite gen AI lol

> just black and silver No, The Peerless Assassin (your link) and the Phantom Spirit (the original deal) are slightly different models. The…

Scorptec also has it, also with free shipping: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/nvidia/118277-ne75070019k9-gb2050s

I know, but that doesn't mean it at all follows their established naming conventions. At no other point has Ryzen non-X / X / XT meant a…

I had forgotten how truly atrocious the naming scheme for that SKU was, even by AMD's standards

Heh, fair enough then. If you play sim games you'll probably still see enough uplift to justify it but yeah for anything else native 5K…

If you're gaming on it regularly at anything other than 4K native (e.g., 4K with DLSS), I think you should really consider swapping to an…

It probably won't be back at that price again anytime soon because they bundled three DLCs into it and raised the price last year:…

Damn, well I wasn't going to bother but since it's Ultimate I threw my 12 bucks away lmao

Currently a couple bucks cheaper ($11.98 AUD) at Fanatical, which is still a Steam key:…

The OpenCritic reviews are really confusing because they're for a _completely different game_ with the same name lol

The GPU in laptops is usually a "mobile" version which is less powerful than the desktop version. Sometimes the difference is small,…

Still one of the cheapest ways to get onto the AM5 platform though, so if that's too expensive then it suggests that the "just get AM5"…

They sometimes just repeat some of the text from the deal lol: - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/911473#comment-16639511 -…

Got mine today, pretty happy with it for the price. Condition was about what you'd expect if a laptop was used near-daily for a few years -…

Used it today for cleaning!

Damn, surprised with the random extra freebie - the one time where waiting it out makes the deal get better instead of making it expire lol

Agreed, the ambiguity is a mistake by their marketing imo - stuff like that shouldn't be difficult to figure out when looking at the…

If you scroll down to the images just above the reviews (not the customer ones, the official promo ones), it shows that it will do either…

It feels like you might be both over-prioritizing VRMs and also misusing this tier list, which is explicitly not a VRM-only ranking (!)…

You can just strip all the tracking at the end to get a usable link:…

Miscommunication over a standalone 5080 vs a 5080 laptop lol

Not that I'd particularly recommend anything except the highest tier: **$4.70 AUD ($3 USD)** (these are the "old" XCOM games) * X-COM:…

Yeah, that's basically why I brought it up - if I actually thought it was an irrefutable source of truth then I wouldn't have needed to ask…
