Old Alienwares usually go for pretty cheap if you can find them in decent condition. Will make for great Windows XP gaming machines :p

Yea sorry for spamming this thread, as mentioned in my last post I'll create a separate thread for this laptop soon :)

OK I know I said last post about laptop, but this is more to do with the RTX 3060 GPU so posting here. At stock settings, the RTX 3060 mobile got 6250 on Superposition 4k with turbo mode - which maxes out the fans making it a jet engine, and applies a 100mhz oc on core and 200mhz on memory. Without turbo mode the score was around 6000 points.

Now along with my CPU uv (-182mV on core, -87mV on cache) described earlier, I wanted to see how far I can push the GPU. But even after applying an undervolt via msi afterburner curve and using turbo mode, I never really broke 6300 points. So I flashed vbios from a Gigabyte G5 3060, and boy oh boy this thing smokes even my full fat Vega 64 LC, which scored 7150 points!

With turbo mode unlocking TGP to 105W, I now got a score of 7200 points for Superposition 4K, and 7050 with auto fans (and 95W TGP).
So with Turbo mode (and an oc of +135mhz on core and +333mhz on memory), my "laptop" RTX 3060 has the second highest Superposition 4K score for a 3060 in the world (you can check leaderboard here and filter for RTX 3060 results). It is beating out full fat 170W 3060 cards which have overclocks of +700mhz on memory even. My score is 7198, the highest till now is 7218.

I am no Nvidia fanboy, in fact quite the opposite, but I am mightily impressed by how well optimised this card is, and also impressed by Acer for their excellent thermal performance. Anyone considering a RTX 3000 series laptop, I reckon the RTX 3060 is the sweet spot in terms of price to performance, and if you can get a 130W TGP card around 1.2L, and your budget allows for it, nothing better than that!

Temps have increased by 5C on GPU and CPU each (82C on GPU and 80C on CPU both after 30min long RDR2 session), but very worth the performance gain. Avg FPS in RDR2 benchmark increased from 47fps to 57fps as well

Did you check your PIN? Or sent them a query mail?
They didn't reply back anymore. They said they will fix the website's "technical glitches" and go ahead with the sale. No other info including shipping issues.

I don't know why they are so particular about that link. Any prior experience anyone? I think @xkcd0137 also brought it up last time

Haven't received the mail so can't confirm. Actually there were trackers in that link so I thought that it might be of some relevance. Not sure though.

Edit: Just visited their site. Its still a shithole.

I have checked it before, it did show serviceable. But now since we are in lockdown idk if they changed it or not. Not able to check it now, it just keeps spinning after I click pincode check, will try in the sale anyway.

I think whatever service they are using for sending these bulk emails (vresp/VerticalResponse) is adding Safe Links and so Microsoft is blocking their own website!! If I understood this correctly. CMIIW

It returns a "Due to an internal error, this web page could not be loaded. We recommend that you close this page.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 has encountered an error." that you experienced last time. It's ridiculous!

You are in Chennai right? Ecommerce deliveries are functioning. But even if Amazon is technically not allowed to run, in a complete lockdown, certain couriers are delivering so will probably not be an issue as long as they can ship it.

Hope you're right, now only need to be lucky enough to buy it.
 
What payment options are available in this kind of sale if anyone has already been lucky?

Has anyone really got it in previous sales - if yes then how much time before the sale one needs to open the link?
