Apparently people didn’t get the notice. Mortgage interest rates are still >5% for anyone renewing now. Three new houses are being built right now in the street behind mine.

Weird how our neighbourhood didn’t see any new buildings from 2016-2022 but now it rains, it pours.

Enjoy it my dudes, blaze it.

From a Canadian who has access to legalized cannabis since 2018, it’s a game changer. It’s regulated and produced with known and checked ingredients, you don’t get fucked up shit with added cutters inside.

Not surprised in the slightest.

Everything that isn’t in line with Putin’s point of view is at risk of being classified as terrorist or extremist, as simple as that.

Me neither. I play at 1440p/120hz. Both cables can manage that resolution and frame rate.

The only difference I get is when I use DisplayPort and leave my computer alone for 20 mins, the GPU goes to sleep and the monitor won’t display anything although I hear background apps/games running.

Without changing any settings, using a HDMI cable solved that.

HDMI it is.

Funny price tag from a company that recently told its player base that owning games is becoming obsolete.

It’s never too late to learn a language. However, French is one hell of a step coming from English.

French is my main language and even if I’ve been speaking it for close to 40 years now, I still learn language exceptions and rules today.

Still, I’d give it a go if I were you, learning something new is always fun. Enjoy!

Too good of a deal to skip it.

Those two issues are normal in the gaming laptop world.

My Zephyrus G14 reaches 80°C on both the GPU and CPU, they’re not made to be running at ice-cold temperatures. I got it in late 2021 and it still runs like it’s brand new, even with high temps in AAA games.

Gaming laptop are made to be used while plugged in, on the move. You CAN play games on the battery but it’s perfectly normal that it drains faster than a soda bottle found by a toddler. If you use it on the battery to do light work (database, IDE, YT, Facebook etc.), there are battery modes that will disable the GPU and use the integrated graphics. I get up to 8 hours from light tasking on mine.

Enjoy your new acquisition!

First, you want to play on high/60fps but at what resolution? Paying over 1700$CAD for a RTX4090 GPU seems overkill while a RX6800 or a RX7700/7800 would let you play at 1080p/1440p at high settings at a fraction of the price.

SSD is fine.

PSU could be reduced to 850W.

64GB RAM is overkill for gaming right now but potentially useful in the upcoming years.

Bottom line, you could save here and there and still have a capable AM5 machine.

If you want value for your buck, build yourself an AM4 machine. Yes, AM5 is out now but your rig could still last you many many years with the right AM4 components.

Not surprised in the slightest.

Most of my immediate neighbours own houses way outside their budget/payment capacity. As you said, add inflation and bigger monthly mortgage payments to the mix and it’s no surprise they can’t save 200$/month.
