What's better for 1080p gaming and using blender? 4060ti or 4070 super

Hi everyone, i have been planning to upgrade my pc sine August and have saved up Money ever since for a 4060ti 16GB along with improvements to my motherboard and CPU. I currently have a 1660 OC edition, and would like to know if a 4060 ti is a better option since I've seen many people reccomend a 4070 super. I just would like to know which I should buy so I can save my money accordingly. I will be using these 40 series cards to learn blender and play games at 1080p.

Edit: I should also mention that I just want to upgrade my pc for the long term. I really don't wanna have to change again within the next few years.

New Meta Quest 3S 128/256GB @Gamez Geek

I found this new meta quest 3 version and did comparative analysis The new meta quest 3S comes with Upgraded chipset, with the more powerful CPU/GPU from the Quest 3, so many games will look better. Price is almost the same . Its better to buy new version than meta quest 3?

Is Dragonball Sparking Zero Online playable in Dubai?

Does anyone know if Sparking Zero’s PvP is decent? or if there are too many ping robberies because obviously we don’t have a Dubai server (again..) and the game doesn’t have rollback netcode which in a fighting game means low ping has an insanely high advantage over high ping (us)..

Are gaming laptops actually cheaper in UAE than india?

I have been confused about the gaming laptop prices being cheaper in dubai or not. Cause I have compared the regular prices and at the moment on Amazon and flipkart the gaming laptops are cheaper than dubai here in india. I have compared it with noon, dg sharaf and microless in uae.

Is it possible that in December gaming laptops r cheaper in uae? When I say cheaper. I elam saying like significantly cheaper.

What u get here for rtx 4060 and i7 from good brand rn is for 100k. That should be less than 80k in dubai.

So plz if anyone has idea of shopping in uae lmk 🙏 during dubai shopping festival too. Thanks

Which laptop should I buy?

I've got an FA506ICB-HN105W, an ASUS TUF Gaming A15 with a Ryzen 5 4600h CPU and an RTX 3050.
I bought this from Sharaf DG tbh and I got it before I started understanding what hardware is good, so I just got the cheapest thing. It sucks now, and I finally convinced my dad to give me an allowance. It's 50DHS per week, so like 200 per month. so I don't care about how long I have to wait to save for it.

Any suggestions for better laptops to buy or should I just wait for the 50 series??

PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition

It seems Geekay is bringing in the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary edition. Just a PSA for those who're interested. It's not exactly a confirmed pre-order, but register to pre-order. Not sure how this is going to play out. Hope it's legit. The full bundle is AED 4.4K though. Quite a steep price.

Monitor Issues

Hi so I just bought a monitor which can output a max of 180Hz at 2k resolution but I just now checked that is only through the display port. Through HDMI, it only displays 144Hz max. My laptop which I'll be hooking it up to only has a HDMI port as well.

It does say on amazon it comes with a display port cable and adapter though I'm unsure if the adapter is for the dp cable or if it can even output 180Hz through hdmi. Does anyone have any solutions, is there an adapter that can do 2k 180Hz or am I just stuck on 144Hz??

Computer Care Al Ain Centre failing to fix gaming laptop. Need suggestions/solutions

I've got an Acer Helios Predator 300 (2020) RTX 2060 and it just up and stopped working all of a sudden. It simply does not power up or charge. Indicator does not light up. I tried opening it up and checking the ram and battery but as a beginner I'm not sure if I've done whatever is necessary to rule these out.

I took it to Computer Care and they first said the power chip was the culprit, then told me it was actually the mother board. A quick search on ali express says the motherboard costs like 2000 dirhams and I'm not even sure if this would work (just a couple of reviews on it, if any).

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

Nintendo Switch 2 Price

I just wanted to know the probable Launch Price of the Nintendo Switch 2 in the UAE.

I do have an idea, that electronics are more expensive in the UAE.

I know that the switch 1 costed 300$ (1,110AED) but was actually sold for 1,499AED.

The switch 2 is rumored to cost 400$ (1,468AED),

so do you think it can cost something like 1,800AED?

Where can I buy the AOC Q27G3XMN from?

I'm trying to buy a new monitor and this is the one I have liked most. The only place I've found it is on Amazon, but the issue is that it's being sold from US or UK. I can't seem to find it online elsewhere except for Neweegg, which I'm not sure is trustworthy. Is it available in any shop?

Build under 2500dhs

Hi everyone!

I am looking for a build under 2500 AED, mostly for gaming purposes but nothing too crazy. For example med settings 1080p gaming

Do you think its possible to build such a PC for this amount, with components that can be found locally, and what shops do you suggest? I am leaning towards Amazon (mostly components that ship within 1 day with Prime or a ~week delivery estimate)

If you have any suggestions regarding the build, and components which go for a fair price in UAE please let me know! Also I'd appreicate any suggestions for shops

Thanks!

Gaming set up and servicing

Inorder for me to not sound vague ill be precise in what I'm looking for:

  1. Help with cleaning the pc from the inside. (I know I can do it myself and I do the occasional vacuum on the vents and area around my pc leaving no dust around. But today I noticed the dust filter (bottom of the pc) had fallen off and I'm afraid dust has accumulated in the pc (more than I'd like). I just need a professional to do this as I know I might accidentally mess something up. Same for my ps5, I remove the plates and clean it but I can see dust inside the fan and I can't reach it with my mini vacuum.

  2. My gaming set up is a bit cluttered and i tried all sorts of cable ties and velcro and stick ons to make it neat but I'm not able to achieve it. And my pc and ps5 are always on accumulating alot more dust than I'd like. I have limited space in the corner of my bedroom so it is conjusted.

  3. In future I will be allocating a dedicated space for all my gaming endeavours and would like to know if there is someone or a company that can help me with the design and installation. Also a upgrade if necessary.

Again, I know I could do it myself and which I have untill this point and just need some assistance.

Also, if anyone can advice me on any gadgets out there that can help with the dust accumulation and cleaning the gaming setup with ease.

Game streaming app

Hello everyone - currently I’m console less and I’m saving and waiting for the 5 series GPu to release and then build a pc.

But I miss gaming and was wondering if there is any decent game streaming service which works in the UAE like GeForce now, Gamepass xCloud or any other regional service. I came across blacknut but the game catalogue was quite shitty.

Any recommendations would be great.
