Just compared the order that I made at Zero Shipping Zone to Price Angels, Zero Shipping Zone is cheaper. As for the service, Zero Shipping Zone provides better service. I orderd 10X Acekard 2i + 2 R4DS on Monday. Yesterday it already arrived at Hong Kong Post. My e-mail has a picture of the package that will be sent to me. My previous with Price Angels is similar to that of DealExtreme. The packaging is similar, as is the wait time.

Zero Shipping Zone
10X Acekard 2i + 2 R4DS + Tracking = $141 shipped

Price Angels
10X Acekard 2i = $ 140.90 shipped with bulkrate. No bulkrate makes it $156.21.

Zero Shipping Zone
5X Acekard 2i + Tracking = $72 shipped

Price Angels
5X Acekard 2i = $72.75 with bulkrate. No bulkrate makes it $78.11.

Apparently tracking number is free if your order is over $40 at Zero Shipping Zone, as well as you get reward points. I didn't know about that and paid $2 for tracking, and I didn't receive my reward points yet. It's not even pending. I sent them an e-mail about this just now and will update GBATemp soon.

I believe you mean $72 shipped on the 5x Acekards.

Anyways I should really really buy a freaking flashcart from 0SZ one day.

I placed an order for an AK2i from them the other day. Today, I got the same email with a picture of the package. Their processing speeds are a LOT faster than DealExtreme's, I've noticed.

Yes I did. Thanks for the catch.

I noticed that a lot of people are saying PriceAngels are the new DealExtreme. Well since I've used/tried all 3, thought I'd sum up my experiences. I hope I help the GBATemp people.

Why did you buy that many again? Is that both priceangels and 0SZ packages together or just one in the picture?
I resell? It's from 0ShippingZone only. That's how they packed the stuff that I bought, which is in the OP.

QUOTE(Dangy @ Apr 7 2010, 07:30 PM) Does 0SZ have long shipping times?
0ShippingZone shipping time is similar to DealExtreme due to Hong Kong Post.

Might try ndscardsale next time. Seems to be DealExtreme in disguise.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    amd is a bit cheaper though
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Year not yard lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
