FYI Im Data Analyst/BI developer with 3 years of experience. My main tools are Power BI, Power Query, SSMS, Power Automate, Visual Studio Code. "Programming languages" include DAX, SQL and Python.

AMD HYPR-RX / NVIDIA DLSS

toya02 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 12:04:47 +0800

From what I understand, if the pc is powerful enough and Im satisfied with the performance, HYPR-RX / DLSS is irrelevant, only enable it if I need more fps. Is the statement correct? Or is there any specific function (like AMD anti-lag+?) within these technology that makes gaming experience better without any downside?

Rate RM8k build. Where is Sapphire 7800XT Nitro?

toya02 — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 17:11:56 +0800

Before getting into juicy part, there seems to be near to no stock for Sapphire 7700/7800XT Nitro in Malaysia? Some shop in Shopee just recycling old gpu listing to 7800 xt nitro, making shopper thinks it actually sold some quantity. Surveying a few big players around lowyat, they told me there is no news yet/no demand for it (bruh seriously?). Hope any gurus here can point me to the legit physical store to get one.

Now comes the main dish, I think I got an ok price for the build, do comment if any of it is overpriced or bad in any way.
i5 13600k - 1,399
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Black - 139
Corsair Vengeance 16gb x2 5600mhz non-rgb - 469
MSI B760m Mortar Wifi DDR5 - 960
Samsung 990 Pro 2TB - 740
Sapphire 7800XT Nitro (waiting for stock) - 2900?
Lian Li 205M Mesh - 232
Thermalright TL-C12C-S Black (rear case fan) - 20
Corsair HX750 - 539
Window 10 license (get free upgrade to W11 that would cost 500) - 409

Total Price = 7,807

Average DDR5 motherboard price really suck ass, got no choice but to swallow the price.

Steam Wallet USD/RM

Steam Wallet USD/RM

toya02 — Sun, 08 Feb 2015 13:13:11 +0800

First of all, I have no idea which section should I post this at, so moderators please feel free to move this topic to an appropriate section.

Back to topic:
When you are buying Steam Wallet Code through online, you will see there tons of options like

RM30 coupon= RM27.33 in steam profile
USD10 coupon= RM30.95 in steam profile

The above are only examples made by me, but similar to real case. Now the question is which coupon should I buy? USD or RM coupon? Bear in mind that I buy these through cybercafe outlets such as OMG, Orange and etc as I don't have credit cards, nor intend to do so even if I have one. I know that I should calculate and choose the best value per USD or per RM, but really, you don't expect me to bring out the calculator and do it on spot in front the cashier right? So generally which one has the best value to buy? USD or RM coupon? Apart from that, is there any 'benefits' to choose either one?

Thank you for any helpful advises

Dota 2 screen freeze

my Dota 2 had this issue after around the techies patch, screen will freeze 1~3sec for every 10sec. Basic solution including: reinstall, verify cache, network connection, restart computer, restart router, update latest video card patch, tuning the graphic setting and etc, the answer no , it wont work because i tried it all. My average ping is around 30ms, no package lost at all

edit: not sure where i should post this, please feel free to move to appropriate section

toya02 — Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:40:36 +0800

Are we looking at older gpu price drop in the next few weeks? Starting from 700 series (I have no idea why they skip 800 series, hopefully not the excuse of 800 series on laptop) Been holding back my wallet to purchase any nvidia card now to wait for a price drop, hope it will

Suggestion for quality budget monitor

toya02 — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:55:57 +0800

my budget is around rm500 or preferable <rm500

I plan to get 23" or 24" with 1920x1080, BenQ GL 2450 seems to be the cheapest 24" now(based on web) but of course comes with a few downside, is there any similar price range yet performing better monitor?

Games I normally play are quite wide: Skyrim, Borderland 2, Star Craft 2, NFS: Most Wanted, Metro 2033, Battlefield 3, Civilization V and etc etc..
Games that I plan to play: Far Cry 3, GTA V, Metro Last Light, Crysis 3, Batman: Arkham Knight, Bioshock Infinite and future similar games.

TN or IPS doesnt matter, but preferable not higher than 5ms respond time. DVI is a must
