    Indian Sites for Electronics DIY Tinkerers/Makers to Shop for Tools and Components

    Thanks for the reply. I see they offer COD option but charge 50 rupees extra for that. They also sell on Amazon but stock their seems limited and prices are higher on there. https://www.amazon.in/stores/page/5FBD97D8-D0AC-4EDE-AF01-27DC0F5D99B0 Will send them a mail to confirm stock before I...

    Some games benefit from DDR5 VS DDR4 tested on a i5 13400, Better fps and 1% lows in many games.

    21-30k Need advice on pairing peripherals for i5 13400F

    The DDR4 board you suggested in 14K - Where did you get DDR5 boards are 2K more ? If he was keeping his DDR4 RAM long term then I would say go with DDR4 mobo but since he is getting new RAM better not be stuck in the past with DDR4 mobo+ DDR4 RAM. The DDR5 mobo I suggested in 12.4K. This is...

    21-30k Need advice on pairing peripherals for i5 13400F

    Seems the board I suggested is wrong type for his CPU but still better to by a new DDR5 motherboard than a new DDR4 motherboard today. You can find cheaper DDR5 new and used RAM here on TE for less than 8K Updated post with LGA 1700 DDR5 WiFi motherboards. I suggest buying this than outdated...

    Why is the availability of Intel Arc GPUs so terrible in India?

    According to these results the only GPU capable of 1440p gaming in Stalker 2 are the 5070 and 9070 and they both don't even get good 1% lows Forget about 1440p gaming in 2025. :p I 100% agree about the VRAM but only if the GPU has enough power to make use of the extra VRAM. In-fact in...

    Why is the availability of Intel Arc GPUs so terrible in India?

    Please recommend a "New GPU" in the current market the will outperform the 9060 XT 8GB @ +/-30K @ 1440p overall. Not just 1% low but in AVG fps as well? Since 1% lows don't make much difference when you cant push a decent AVG fps in most games.

    Why is the availability of Intel Arc GPUs so terrible in India?

    I don't see the 9060 XT 8GB on those charts. TPU has been around alot longer than Hardware Unboxed and YT reviewers so for now I will still go with their data numbers. Whether the OP plays Stalker 2 or Farm simulator this is also a "Moot point" as you say. And once again read my whole post...

    Why is the availability of Intel Arc GPUs so terrible in India?

    Those numbers in that video you posted seems way off it shows Stalker 2 @ 11 fps @1440p which is completely ridiculous! Based on the video you posted I will stick with TPU aka Techpowerup for my review data numbers. For 30K no other card in the Indian market can beat it even at 1440p. End of...

    Why is the availability of Intel Arc GPUs so terrible in India?

    Take the 7600 XT 16GB version has an example its a 16GB card but performance wise its 24% slower @ 1440p compared to the 9060 XT 8GB version. VRAM has nothing to do with performance in this case. In fact the 4060 Ti 16GB which cost +47K in local markets gets beat by the 9060 XT 8GB version even...

    Why is the availability of Intel Arc GPUs so terrible in India?

    I would increase the budget and go with the 9060 XT 8GB instead because it is around 20% faster at 1440p VS the B580 12GB. The extra VRAM on the B580 does not help it in most cases. The 9060 XT 8GB version can be found around 31-32K. If you really want a 16GB card then get the 9060 XT 16GB but...

    The idea is to get an ESP32 device to play around with and learn about these devices. I don't need it to function has a wifi dongle. @rsaeon @Heisen Thanks for taking time to help your suggestions are highly appreciated. Went with the ESP32-C6 instead because its has Wifi 6 and BT.5 so better...
