Huh. On my device it shows up as 0 AED. I wish it could be in $, I don't know how to exchange all that money

"The final cost depends on the availability of high-capacity memory modules."

Depends on the price, surely?

A 2080Ti is approximately on a level with a 5060Ti (from a quick search), though obvs does not support the newer DLSS features etc. Soto get a good upgrade you’re looking at a 5070 or better.

If this gives you a performance boost for less $$$ …

Yeah. Even a smaller town will have a random repair shop where a guy will replace phone screens, solder in a replacement power supply, and he seemingly has some kind of connection that can get him all these parts from Shenzhen. A comparable sized town in America won't have anything comparable other than a Dollar General selling phone chargers.

You mean, that if I could have used this service, it would have been a scam and that such scams are common in the UAE, so in the future people should avoid repair companies in the UAE regardless of the specific vendor?

That seems a bit of a stretch, but I have never dealt with the UAE, is this a real thing that people know about?

Scam has started to become overused like the word slop. Scam has a specific meaning. Sounds like you are complaining about a potential problem while a scam is a guaranteed problem
