Yeah I saw damn the prices are high right now. I mean I bought my nvme for cheap on Amazon last year. $70 all inclusive with a lower exchange rate now. The thing is 70usd base price.

Looks like this one?

Yes i kinda looks like the one chickenbeef posted here. Just not with the bronze accents on the side tho.

Box contents was the dash cam, rear view camera, car charger (adapter that fits into cigarette ligther) and the rubber clips also seen in the link above to fit the dash cam to your mirror.

I just quickly scanned through the settings earlier. Seems to have HD and FHD recording, 5mp image capture but can also set lower to 3 and 2 mp if I remember correctly. Parking mode where if car is parked and camera senses a nudge to the car it will automatically turn on and start to record. Collision detection and few other settings where you could set the length of the clips that it records.(sorry if some of these features is common in dash cams, first one I ever bought).

Awww well while I wait for prices to come down a but on nvme I will be using my old Crucial 240GB sata ssd. Better than the internal drive the laptop came with.

Definitely better. I'm using a sata on my desktops for Windows and it's still pretty quick. Don't notice the difference really between the nvme in my laptop booting and the sata.

I have noticed 1 issue. Running 144, Gsync DP cable. I am running an older game at 3840x2160x144 DSR, scaling to native 1080. However every now and then the screen goes black, flashes and comes back on. Any ideas?

Where did you get the cable? Which video card do you have?

It's a DP cable, I got it from my office, not sure the version of it, and I'm running a GTX 1070. It seems now any game I play, the load screen spazzes out, screen goes black and then back on with the DP display showing, as if setting were changed. Then, rarely but randomly in game the screen will do the same, black out and come back on. I have played around with settings but doesn't seem to help. Works on 60hz though... I wonder if the monitor is faulty?

HDMI works perfectly... It must be a DP cable issue. So no GSync for now, will go look for a good DP cable tomorrow. For 1080p 144hz DP1.2 should suffice?
