Apparently an Electronics company in Sweden is so sure their products are a new form of contraception, that if you fall pregnant within 30 days, you can keep their TV or Computer, and they will refund your money.

Would you trust this form of Contraception?

I know that there's cheaper options like RX 9060 and RTX 5050, but 8GB VRAM is a joke and those GPUs are basically rebrands of RX 7600 XT (with less VRAM) and RTX 4060 respectively. Obviously I'm gonna go for the 16GB variants of RX 9060 XT or RTX 5060 Ti for a future PC build, although if my startup does take off soon and I get rich, then I'll go for a more high end build. I would go for a GPU with 12GB VRAM, but the RTX 3080 and RX 6750 XT are a bit outdated now. Meanwhile RTX 4070 and their variants are expensive, and RX 7700 XT doesn't really have any RT gains over RX 6750 XT.

People tend to prefer one or the other without switching more than once. What’s your preference?

I already updated iGPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and dGPU drivers manually (some other drivers Windows updated them); disabled or at least forced many new processes and apps to run manually instead of automatic; and I'm considering to bypass Optimus by connecting an external monitor via HDMI so the iGPU will no longer bottleneck my laptop due to some system resources being given to it instead of my CPU. Sadly my gaming laptop is almost 6 years old and it started to degrade in performance a bit over a year ago, with the thermals suffering from age and heavy use, along with me switching from Windows 10 to 11 as the latter has more CPU overhead and isn't fully optimized for older chips like mine. I previously mitigated performance loss by re-applying thermal paste, undervolting and power limiting both CPU and iGPU (dGPU can't because Acer locked those at vBIOS level), and use a cooling pad that also elevates the PC; sadly now with 24H2 adding even more overhead, I have to do everything else I can to save it.
