[gloomy sleet]

who isn’t using fsr and fg?

[elder quarry]

9070 is illegal

[latent pasture]

people with nvidia gpus /s

[lapis talon]

Uhhhh, how big of an improvement is the rx 9070 xt over the rtx 2060super 💀

[blazing onyx]

???

[elder quarry]

Like, huge

[thin plover]

Look up Tom's hardware for gpu comparisons

[gloomy sleet]

fsr dlss same shit different name

[elder quarry]

49.99$ for way worse performance

[lapis talon]

Ok

[cosmic stratus]

youtube? if I dont have the information on hand I say just go look. better than a possibly wrong answer from here.

[blazing onyx]

ah, fair enough

[proud jay]

not worth the upgrade

[random gyro]

no idea safe guess would be at least 10% in my OPINION

[proud jay]

:0

[blazing onyx]

how much better percentage wise is the 9070 xt compared to like. a 7700xt?

[latent pasture]

9070 non xt reviews came out at the same time

[plucky frost]

im not asking you specifically, im asking in general, if you dont know the answer then dont respond and leave it to the people who do

[cinder raptor]

I dont

[gloomy sleet]

why

[elder quarry]

Way better

[elder quarry]

Thank god

[random gyro]

most people

[thin plover]

this should help

[lapis talon]

How's the xfx swift 9070xt?

[proud jay]

9070xt > XTX in RT

[cinder raptor]

I run a 7900xt, why would i need to, it gets 100+ fps in everything i play

[gloomy sleet]

why

[blazing onyx]

wait it just has better OVERALL performance than the 7900xt?

holy Shit

[gloomy sleet]

to get 200fps+ in everything

[thin plover]

I don't use fsr either

[elder quarry]

It’s like actually nice, can’t see much difference performance wise

[cosmic stratus]

its still good advice tho. Generally if I wanna see performance difference between two cards I look on youtube. it can depend on your own workloads too so

[thin plover]

I'm too lazy to enable it

[cinder raptor]

My monitor is 170hz i dont need 200fps

[lapis talon]

Anyone

[elder quarry]

Resolution?

[latent pasture]

i use fg to turn 30fps minecraft with shaders on my igpu to 60

[random gyro]

frame gen is "better frames" thats if needed and fsr hasnt really ever been super "good"

[gloomy sleet]

i like far and fg

[cinder raptor]

1440

I play older shit

[cosmic stratus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/368511087139618830/1280846304334843984/makesweet-u7a92f.gif

[gloomy sleet]

i find the visual difference very minimal

[random gyro]

u will notice a difference dont let the old hz=frames fool you

[cosmic stratus]

thats wild

[blazing onyx]

im actually surprised that the 9070 beats a 4070TiS

[gloomy sleet]

same i also run 1440p170hz on my 4060

[cosmic stratus]

[gloomy sleet]

no you won’t

[elder quarry]

I use 7900GRE at 1080… many fps even without frame gen and fsr

[random gyro]

if ur on 144hz u will still notice a signifacnt upgrade from 144fps to 250

[elder quarry]

MANY (ultra)

[gloomy sleet]

anything past 170hz literally won’t be displayed

[random gyro]

...?

[proud jay]

it's faster but its not worth it if ur already on a 7900xt tho

[gloomy sleet]

no you won’t

[cinder raptor]

Solid 1080p card

[gloomy sleet]

144fps on 144hz will look literally identical to 250fps on 144hz

[long brook]

Aussie pricing

[random gyro]

u seem very passionate look it up

[blazing onyx]

i dont. i own a laptop 4070 and a broken rx7600

[gloomy sleet]

you look it up

[random gyro]

not exactly actually

[strong orbit]

What’s a solid 1440p 120fps+ card

[proud jay]

oh lol
cheers

[cinder raptor]

You seem very ignorant, look it up

[gloomy sleet]

yes exactly

[latent pasture]

on what game

[gloomy sleet]

my 4060 does that

[elder quarry]

[strong orbit]

FPS shooters ig

[latent pasture]

you cant say any game cuz ppl will chime in with mh wilds or indiana jones and 1440p 120fps means rtx 4090

[elder quarry]

[gloomy sleet]

GRE can do 4k fine

[cosmic stratus]

170fps FRAME LIMIT (not Vsync) and 170hz isnt better than more frames and micro STUTTERING from not matching refresh rate

[blazing onyx]

probably a 4070TiS or something

[gloomy sleet]

you can run richard burns rally at 120fps 1440p on a gt710

[gloomy sleet]

i know this because i’ve done it

[elder quarry]

Ofc… almost any card can do 4k@60

[plucky frost]

nvs 300

[blazing onyx]

HUH?

[thin plover]

first person shooters shooters

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[elder quarry]

?

[blazing onyx]

alright e is full of it apparently

[strong orbit]

Omg I’ve got that card at home I’ll use it for my rig then

[elder quarry]

What do you mean

[blazing onyx]

your saying almost any card can do 4k60?

[elder quarry]

Learn about hardware

[plucky frost]

same, i use it for my main pc, its really good for triple a games in 4k

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[random gyro]

Seeing more fps than Hz if your monitor, yes you do see more up to date frames even though not more because Hz limit, still dependable game by ... this is from LTT website

[blazing onyx]

4k60 on what? youtube??

[thin plover]

4k60 on Google

[elder quarry]

Most decently modern

[gloomy sleet]

no

that isn’t how it works

[random gyro]

ok

[strong orbit]

The 1gb of VRAM will have great performance

[grizzled frost]

It actually is how it works

[proud jay]

my 1650 could do 4k60 on Terraria

[grizzled frost]

you don’t see more frames, but you do see more up to date frames

[gloomy sleet]

my 4060 does 4k60hz fine on most games i play

[plucky frost]

512MB

[blazing onyx]

in its defence. thats terraria. i could run that on an 8gb potato unless i have calamity installed

[grizzled frost]

it’s basically completely pointless, but technically true

[latent pasture]

calamity works on 8gb potato

[proud jay]

probably Minecraft too

[strong orbit]

Damm my own at home says it has 1gb

[gloomy sleet]

i get 500fps 8k on that game

[random gyro]

your game will feel smoother ask anyone who plays 144hz with 144+fps im one of them and 144fps and 250 250 feels smoother and faster

[blazing onyx]

No, No it dont lmao

[gloomy sleet]

placebo

[proud jay]

Vanilla

[elder quarry]

Bandwidth wise

[grizzled frost]

that is absolutely placebo

[plucky frost]

damn you can probably do 8k then, lucky u

[proud jay]

with no Sodium

[gloomy sleet]

your monitor is quite literally displaying the EXACT same frame rate

[grizzled frost]

technically it is more up to date frames, but it’s completely imperceptible

[blazing onyx]

you absolute monster

[elder quarry]

3d shareware

[blazing onyx]

GOD i miss old optifine ;-;

[random gyro]

try it lmk

[proud jay]

true i'd be jailed for that

[gloomy sleet]

the only difference is the 1% lows

[grizzled frost]

I have

[strong orbit]

I’ll play marvel rivels at 8k 60fps on the NVS 310

[sacred meadow]

i love OF

[latent pasture]

yes it does
i finished several playthroughts on my laptop that had like a9 9420 dual core (but really single core bc bulldozer) with its igpu being crossfired with an r5 m330 or whatever it was

[gloomy sleet]

i have there is no difference from 170fps on 170hz and 500fps on 170hz

[cinder raptor]

Good god

[gloomy sleet]

i ran that game on a N4500

[proud jay]

if only Sodium had zoom and dynamic lights built in

[dapper light]

Aldo still not in this server :(

[gloomy sleet]

you can run terraria on an apple lightning to hdmi connector

[proud jay]

whose

[elder quarry]

Huh

[thin plover]

aldonist

[elder quarry]

No context

[plucky frost]

awesome

[dapper light]

needing to put one extra jar file is nowhere enough of an inconvenience to use OF instead of Sodium/etc

[sacred meadow]

steve

[cinder raptor]

He lurks the pirate software discord

[latent pasture]

they probably think calamity doesnt run on lesser hardware bc they install it along with the enhanced graphics mod that turns it into rainvowmit

[random gyro]

Seeing more fps than Hz if your monitor, yes you do see more up to date frames even though not more because Hz limit, still dependable game ... once again this Linus online site

[blazing onyx]

I remember, running around 200 mods on my 1.12.2 save, on an old school-owned dell lattitude with a pentium silver n5000.

8gb ram, optifine at low settings. shit ran at a solid 40 fps even on the integrated graphics

[thin plover]

or just use vsync

[random gyro]

go to ANY reddit page and they will say u can notice it

[latent pasture]

now you get banned a 2nd time for circumventing filter

[dapper light]

You get more up to date frames yes but it would be a super-warp of screen tearing

[latent pasture]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/695582978092564530/1230583151307522161/conglaturations-ezgif.com-resize.gif

[blazing onyx]

i didnt, i put fargos soul on it as well and my cpu shit itself

[random gyro]

still is noticebale smoother once again IMO

[spare hinge]

Quick question, how do I turn this on? I’m really clueless here

[random gyro]

u can say its placebo idk what to tell u i have no reason to lie

[blazing onyx]

who knew. having calamity weapons with double fire rate and triple projectiles made my cpu angry

[dapper light]

short the power pin on the front panel header cluster

[thin plover]

there's two pins you need to short, look in the manual for which pins

[long brook]

another retailer stock list

[latent pasture]

what pathetic cpu do u have
ive had quite the range from 2(but rly 1) core amd, 6 core amd, 2 core intel and 4 core intel and they all ran it fine

[lapis talon]

is this alright? (probably wont get it from best buy but asking if this specific variant of the 9070xt is good or not)

[random gyro]

yes it is alright

[blazing onyx]

it was a i5 10300H that shit itself

[spare hinge]

The manual is gone

[blazing onyx]

but hell even my core 9 ultra wasnt happy with that many projectiles

[lapis talon]

what about the other non oc ones out there

[latent pasture]

yes

[thin plover]

if you look up the motherboard make and model you can download one

[lapis talon]

is the "cooling system" good?

[random gyro]

get a 9070xt. no oc version. and you will be good dont pay anything more then 650

[blazing onyx]

its got 3 fans, you should be fine

[random gyro]

sapphire has the best cooling from what i know but its nothing noticeable

[blazing onyx]

but be warned. last time i got xfx i got 2 broken cards in a row ;-;

[random gyro]

DONT DO THAT TO ME BRUH

[thin plover]

I never had an issue with xfx

[blazing onyx]

????????

[valid fiber]

is anyone livestreaming at one of the microcenter locations?
i kinda want to see thew chaos

[random gyro]

im ordering a xfx in 6 minutes fuck u LMFAO

[lapis talon]

no like does the "thermal compound" or "vaporchamber" thing matter?

[blazing onyx]

probably just black friday on crack

[random gyro]

nah man just order one

say xfx is a good brand

[blazing onyx]

i kid you not, my first one went up in smoke and now this one has 2 corrupted vbios

[tidal geyser]

It is

[cosmic stratus]

those beautiful big double digit numbers

[hoary tree]

5G 🔥

[tidal geyser]

Anyways product not brand

[random gyro]

FUCK OFF LMFOAOFOFA

[thin plover]

with a gpu? then it's just marketing

[blazing onyx]

That was, the wrong reply lmfao

[lapis talon]

ah alrighty

[blazing onyx]

xfx, the brand

[cosmic stratus]

does it have a bios switch

[blazing onyx]

Yea

[cosmic stratus]

you can use that to re flash currupted bios if you havnt tried that already

[blazing onyx]

i tried that, within 2 boot cycles the second vbios got corrupted as well

[thin plover]

sim means judge by product instead of brand

[cosmic stratus]

thats crazy 💀

[long brook]

ngl XFX Merc with magetic fans looks really nice

[blazing onyx]

i mean its also an xfx swft

[long brook]

and a good sound profile

[blazing onyx]

sorry ys lmao

[thin plover]

not a product but a product line

[cosmic stratus]

@proud jay wassup

[thin plover]

my xfx swft works fine

[random gyro]

im sure my xfx will be amazing

[tidal geyser]

You have the cheapest version of the card or at least has been for most of its life

[blazing onyx]

xfx swft 210 rx 7600

[blazing onyx]

and? i still expect it to not break after like. a month of use

[tidal geyser]

Also was your 2nd card confirmed replacment and not repair?

[blazing onyx]

at least the first one LASTED a month

[latent pasture]

how did they even determine it was the vbios that was the problem lol

[blazing onyx]

Yea, which if anything makes it worse

[tidal geyser]

How do you know it was a new card?

[blazing onyx]

i did. because the problem was fixed for like. 3 boot cycles at soon as i switched the vbios

and then after that it went right back

[cosmic stratus]

did you try a second gpu already

[tidal geyser]

That confirms nothing

[blazing onyx]

i went back and looked at the RMA ticket

it was not a repair. was an entire replacement

[blazing onyx]

the issue temporaily went away when i went to the other uncorrupted vbios

thats pretty confirming

[tidal geyser]

How did you receive back your 7600 as in what was the condition when you got it?

[blazing onyx]

something else is corrupting the vbios though

[tidal geyser]

But then does the same thing

[blazing onyx]

it was in brand new packaging?

[blazing onyx]

after 3 boot cycles

[cosmic stratus]

do you have an igpu

[blazing onyx]

no

[lapis condor]

Gotine

[cosmic stratus]

just to be clear, you tried a second gpu and the same thing happened?

[blazing onyx]

If i did i would have just yoinked the gpu out a while ago and just used the igpu. all im wantinig to do with this desktop for now is use it as a debian servery

[elder quarry]

<@&750150305383186585> mildly breaking rule #14 (moderation discussion)

[cosmic stratus]

oh, here take my nvidia nvs 310 for free in that case

it offers basic display out performance 💀

[blazing onyx]

the first gpu just up and died. got a full replacement.
second gpu. first vbios has bios artifact. switch the bios. fixed for about an hour. then goes back to the bios artifacting

[tidal geyser]

Do you have any friends with a gpu you can test with

[plush wren]

this has to be the weirdest shit you can do 😭

[blazing onyx]

i do not

[elder quarry]

Got you 😂

[blazing onyx]

i have a quadro 4000 behind me. but no displayport cable to use it with

[latent pasture]

guy put 3 gpus into their pc and all broke even brand new ones
must all be the gpus fault 3x in a row

that's what they are here too

the only 9070 thing I could find on amazon rn

[austere imp]

and theyre gone

[cosmic stratus]

lmfao

[hard wren]

I guess I'll be going to microcenter this weekend

[austere imp]

$720 for the ASUS prime 9070XT is the best

[hard wren]

if they still have stock

[indigo lintel]

bruh there's a 9070 for 1000usd in sweden

[elder quarry]

Ew

[cosmic stratus]

I guess having 70 cards shelved is not enough

[austere imp]

still in stock though

[cosmic stratus]

thats a 7800x3d

I think its a decent deal for 2k

[elder quarry]

Huh

[elder quarry]

Oh I thought it was a way too overpriced case

[cosmic stratus]

bc its inflated price tag

[cosmic stratus]

oh lmao

[austere imp]

correct, but its less than MSRP of the 5070Ti still

[cosmic stratus]

oh yea

man fuck market inflation. as a poor person this sucks!

[sage vector]

guys i just b ought a 9070 xt for 765 usd is that good

[austere imp]

its the best youll get

[elder quarry]

For a while

[hard wren]

should I just spraypaint the xfx 9070 xt white cuz I kinda dont wanna overpay 130$

[austere imp]

well not really the ASUS Prime is $720 (pre tax) on newegg

still in stock

[sage vector]

i got the asus prime

it was 765 with tax and its coming 3/12

[elder quarry]

No

[sage vector]

is asus prime the best

[random gyro]

got it

[austere imp]

then you did good my friend

[elder quarry]

No

[latent pasture]

you did horribly

[glass scaffold]

Wow, over a 300$ markup here in Poland for the 9070xt, looking like a 7900xt angle instead

[random gyro]

got it 770

[latent pasture]

buying any 9070xt above the $600 one is justifying to amd that next time they should price this even higher

[grim pasture]

r7 7700 + 9070 good combo 1080 p?

[sage vector]

ok

[sage vector]

what is

[austere imp]

7900XT is like the same card so go for it if its cheaper. XTX is better if you can do that

[latent pasture]

guaranteeing that theyll never do a release like this again

[austere imp]

you can 1440p with that

[grim pasture]

i dont want a better monitor instead high fos

[sage vector]

how good is the card i bought i bought ts

[grim pasture]

I already got a 240hz 1080

[plucky frost]

ASUS TUF Gaming AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC is 10990 NOK where i live, translates to 994 usd

[tidal geyser]

It's a 9070 xt

[sage vector]

its asus prime too does any of that make a difference

[blazing onyx]

720 for a 9070, not good lol

[tidal geyser]

That's not a good price

[grim pasture]

in my country it launched for 695

[hazy oracle]

Look at this ship prices in eu

[tidal geyser]

Should be about 7500nok or so

[plucky frost]

its very expensive on komplett

[jolly harbor]

I GOT A 9070XT 😄

[austere imp]

with the 9070XTs at $720 the $550 9070 looks good now

[plucky frost]

i am happy with my 7900 xt tbh

[grim pasture]

Is a 7 7700 + 9070 a bottleneck for 1080p?

[tidal geyser]

So not use komplett

[austere imp]

AMD for the win to the bottom line

[sage vector]

too late i already paid 765 usd

[tidal geyser]

Prisjakt for the win

[hazy oracle]

9070 in my country are 860euros +

[sage vector]

is that overpay for this card

[plucky frost]

i just checked the price

[acoustic mantle]

I’m wondering if I made a mistake buying this one because it’s still in stock. I was too slow to buy the sapphire pulse https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-r9070xtgaming-oc-16gd-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16gb-gddr6/p/N82E16814932751?

i got 9070xt overclock gigabyte 770!!!!! LETS GOOOO

[latent pasture]

£700 for a midrange card… lol

[random gyro]

i got same one

cro9atia

[latent pasture]

any 9070xt bought in USA that isnt the $600 ones is a mistake

[random gyro]

tax exists

[austere imp]

just saying they will probably sell out the 9070s too for today

[acoustic mantle]

There’s no way of knowing if this is going to be the best it’s gonna get

[hazy oracle]

and i see germyn prices arent much better
https://geizhals.de/?fs=9070+xt&hloc=at&hloc=de

[cold skiff]

Retailers creaming the profits

[acoustic mantle]

They said there was plenty of stock and the sapphire pulse sold out instantly

[grim pasture]

what do you mean cheeese?

[plucky frost]

cheese

[austere imp]

powercolor and XFS reg 9070s already sold out

[random gyro]

i payed 770 for a gigabyte overclock version is that valid??

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/steam-cat-cooking-wet-cat-gif-27103530

[acoustic mantle]

My original plan was to return my 7900 xtx to save some money cause the 9070 xt sounds like better price to performance

[grim pasture]

no but seriously is it a bottleneck

[cold skiff]

I will buy a graphics card again in a few years when bots have hopefully gone away

[tidal geyser]

Yes it will kill the computer because the bottle neck is a bottleneck

[jagged hazel]

how about 5070 for 550$]

[austere imp]

Id keep the 7900XTX if you paid less than $1000 for it

[acoustic mantle]

After tax it was like $1026

[austere imp]

look at the benchmarks. 7900XTX wins on performance still, unless you really need that $250 back

[scarlet arrow]

Successfully bought a 9070 XT!

[acoustic mantle]

The 9070 xt performs well enough for me not to spend that extra $250

[indigo lintel]

what'd you get it for?

[random gyro]

how much?

[tidal geyser]

price?

[scarlet arrow]

I don’t know in dollars but 9790 SEK roughly 890 dollars?

[austere imp]

wtf is going on at B&H?

[scarlet arrow]

But it was a white sapphire

[acoustic mantle]

I bought a 9070 xt for $729

[median warren]

oof

[indigo lintel]

Not bad

those were already gone by the time i got onto the site

[random gyro]

GOT MY GIGABYTE OVERCLOCK 770 USD!!!!

[austere imp]

I support your choice

[tidal geyser]

considering there are rtx 5070 for like 11k yeah that was good'

[scarlet arrow]

This is the one I bought

[jagged hazel]

5070 for 550$ tho

[wanton lynx]

Got my Gigabyte OC for 789€ 🙂

[indigo lintel]

cheaspest here is 790 usd tho

[scarlet arrow]

Yeah and it’s more expensive here compared to what you would pay because of my country’s tax but yeah

[indigo lintel]

i payed 1300 for mine 🥲

[tidal geyser]

25%

[random gyro]

GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 5.0 x16 Graphics Card GV-R9070XTGAMING OC-16GD this is good yeah??

[jolly harbor]

got my 9070xt Sapphire PULSE for 600 ezpz 😄

[tidal geyser]

its meant to be about what 750USD

[jagged hazel]

i don't have one lol i have Rx 6700

[scarlet arrow]

Yeah 750 is probably close

[tidal geyser]

so about 7600SEK

[median warren]

thats still above msrp tho, isnt msrp 600?

[scarlet arrow]

Yeah

[tidal geyser]

no 600+25%

[random gyro]

msrp isnt real

[scarlet arrow]

Tax was like 189$

[tidal geyser]

aka 750

[median warren]

it is if you wait like 6 months

[tidal geyser]

o shit EU tax toooo

[random gyro]

its like asking a girl her body count always just add more

[indigo lintel]

there were like two cards at 8000, the rest are wayy up there

[scarlet arrow]

Yep

[jagged hazel]

but again i do see a 5070 online for 550$

[tidal geyser]

sounds about right

[median warren]

no i dont think thats a good comparison

[random gyro]

i do

[median warren]

no bc prices will drop and body count wont

[indigo lintel]

some was more $$$ than the 5070tis

[random gyro]

@tidal geyser would you say a gigabyte overclock for 770 is good?

[tidal geyser]

770USD?

[random gyro]

yeah

[indigo lintel]

xt or non xt?

[random gyro]

xt

[gloomy sleet]

literal fastest its ever been

[indigo lintel]

a steal

[tidal geyser]

uuuuhhhhhhh, considering you are able to buy it yeah good enough

[random gyro]

thanks u just took the gut feeling outta my stomach

[median warren]

thsi includes tax

[tidal geyser]

the entire gpu market aside from LOW end is just FUCKED

[random gyro]

gigabyte a good brand? didnt consider it for some reason thought id be able to choose

[tidal geyser]

product not brand

[random gyro]

so yeah?

[tidal geyser]

yea

[indigo lintel]

lemme ge tmine

[cosmic stratus]

getting sold out immediately

[random gyro]

its 3 fan so

[cosmic stratus]

bruh im going to microcenter friday or sat to celebrate my bd, I PRAY there are well priced 9070XTs available 😭

[indigo lintel]

Ahh

[gloomy sleet]

nice

[austere imp]

for people asking if a sub $800 9070XT is worth it, look at the comparable 5070Ti; you cant find it in stock and it costs over $900 so yes AMD wins a sub $800 card is now "worth it" because its the best deal youll get for a new GPU

[gloomy sleet]

thats what i usually get

[median warren]

why not just buy a 7900 xtx at this point?

[cosmic stratus]

its still expensive tho

[indigo lintel]

there's like 2 at msrp

[tidal geyser]

way worse RT

[median warren]

.

[tidal geyser]

and upscaling

[cosmic stratus]

and encoding

[median warren]

gotta accept that with amd

[random gyro]

cus i got a 9070xt for 770 USD and its cheaper

and better rt ai

[tidal geyser]

mmm not with a 9000 gpu

[random gyro]

cores rdna 4

[austere imp]

Get a used 3080Ti on ebay for $400-$500 and youll get the same performance

[median warren]

there is still some available

[cosmic stratus]

they're on 9000 series its about time they got it together with rt

[median warren]

this includes tax btw

[indigo lintel]

They're not there yet, but catching up.
Next GPU might be an amd, Tho that'll be in 7 years

[random gyro]

8gb of vram no thanks

[cosmic stratus]

im going to microcenter

[austere imp]

12GB of VRAM on the 3080 TI and there are 10 and 12GB models of the reg 3080

[median warren]

since when did asrock make gpus btw?

[indigo lintel]

wait what

[cosmic stratus]

if a platform upgrade is too expensive ill just pick up a gpu in the 300-500$ range

[random gyro]

hmm well 12 still to low even tho i just bought a 9070xt i would say 12 is BARE minimum

16 is pretty good 20+ is great

[plush wren]

bargain

[median warren]

12gb vram is alright if youre in the mid tier

[cosmic stratus]

12gb is just right for me.. im not playing games at 1440p

[indigo lintel]

i've been doing alright with my 1070

[cosmic stratus]

even 8gb works fine

[random gyro]

selling my un used 7900xt sapphire 1100 usd on ebay

[jagged hazel]

i need a lil more than 10 gb rn cuz 1440

[median warren]

😭

[cosmic stratus]

[indigo lintel]

are u mad

[median warren]

that is horrendous

[lapis talon]

uhh

[random gyro]

be mad why? i can return it amazon for 650 right now

[jagged hazel]

who cares if someone buys it

[random gyro]

gonna try my ebay luck firsst

[indigo lintel]

gotta be max verstappen for a few min

[cosmic stratus]

is this microcenter

[random gyro]

me i paied 650

pay

[lapis talon]

idk what to dooo

[median warren]

the problem with gpu prices already being high, youre just making it worse by also putting your gpu at a higher price than its worth

[jagged hazel]

i mean if someone buys it at 1100$ youd be doing pretty good

[indigo lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/wrc-gif-11894242591418385505

[cosmic stratus]

OMG BRO

[random gyro]

yeah well its okay cus ive had a 2060 for 6 years

[indigo lintel]

you can fkn get new ones for 900

[cosmic stratus]

MICHIGAN GOT HELLA STOCK🗣️

[jagged hazel]

better get movin bro

[indigo lintel]

and thats in sweden

[proud jay]

Hutafak just bought a 9070.

[cosmic stratus]

W

[proud jay]

non Xt

[cosmic stratus]

imma get one for my birthday

[jagged hazel]

i sold a pc with a 1070 and r 5 5500 for 470$ a few weeks ago

[cosmic stratus]

mmm

[random gyro]

prob not updated could already be sold out

[proud jay]

Get the Xt

[median warren]

im in class, only me and 1 other person turned up, the other person left and my teacher just walked out, im alone in class now, do i just go home?

[indigo lintel]

sell another one and you got enough for a brand new gpu :))

[austere imp]

Just meant price to performance. The 3080Ti is like 5% behind the 9070XT and you can get them sub $500

[indigo lintel]

tell the teacher you got shot

and had to go buy a gpu

[jagged hazel]

when really it's worth a fair bit less than that

[cosmic stratus]

its not

[indigo lintel]

lucky son of a

[glass scaffold]

Yeah currently the 9070xt is fully sold out, i think it’s fine if I just get the 7900xt at this point

[cosmic stratus]

I have like more than 40 9070xts here in Michigans microcenter

[random gyro]

9070

[cosmic stratus]

Im coping for a in store price drop

[median warren]

bet

[jagged hazel]

but he loves it and is happy with it so no complaints. he is playing games as old as me and will prolly handle any new game he would want to play

[austere imp]

Like that is a great deal on a 3080Ti

[latent pasture]

surely u meant the non xt because the 9070xt is like +30% better than 3080

[median warren]

it says 3080

[plush wren]

cad?

[latent gull]

Need a heavy does of copium for that one

[median warren]

an evga card is rare

[random gyro]

i have evga 2060

[dapper light]

developers and their addiction to cluttering my user folder

[cosmic stratus]

parents are buying the gpu (im fucking 18 with no job still) the chances of success are low

might pick up a 7800xt instead

[jagged hazel]

7800xt

[median warren]

cherish it

[latent gull]

7700xt?

[cosmic stratus]

nah 7800xt if I find a good deal

[jagged hazel]

quick with it

that's what i wanna do

because i have rx 6700

[austere imp]

youre right, i got confused with the 12GB

[median warren]

solid card for mid tier tho, 12gb vram helps

[latent pasture]

3080 10gb 12gb and ti are all within like 7% of each other anyway

[blazing onyx]

Aren't 7800xt's still like, 700 or something?

[austere imp]

Im saying for $500 the 3080s are a good deal these days

[jagged hazel]

we have had multiple arguments in this chat about 7800xt vs 3080 im glad nobody is saying anything

[latent pasture]

old review but its the same ampere gpus i highly doubt the rankings would change (1440p avg)

[glass scaffold]

Would it really be worth me waiting to get a 9070xt over a 7900xt? Like how big of a difference is it between the 2 cards

[austere imp]

although microcenter in NJ near me has tons of stock

[plush wren]

real

[blazing onyx]

For half the price? The performance difference is insane

[random gyro]

price man 7900xt new is 920+ goodluck

[latent pasture]

ti is +1% over 12gb which is is +4% over 10gb

[glass scaffold]

No, for the same price on both.

[blazing onyx]

?

[random gyro]

7900xt is crazy expensive

[blazing onyx]

Isn't xtx like, 1000 msrp?

[random gyro]

more

[blazing onyx]

Exactly

[austere imp]

get the new new then

[random gyro]

1200+ for a brand new xtx

[glass scaffold]

Not xtx, just the xt

[latent pasture]

xt no 2nd x at same price, 9070xt is just better

[random gyro]

i have a sapphire 7900xt and i got it brand new 650 cus ima sniper

[austere imp]

pew pew

[random gyro]

but it goes 900+ used i havent even plugged it

[glass scaffold]

Noted, noticeably so? Or would i really not be missing out on much

[blazing onyx]

Goddamn didn't realize that extra x was worth so much lmao

[gloomy sleet]

7900xtxs go for like £750

[random gyro]

its also a lot better to be fair

[austere imp]

you wont notice unless you like ray tracing

[blazing onyx]

I mean yea but my god

[random gyro]

9070xt 770 usd i just got ima take it as a win

[latent pasture]

in non raytraced games 9070xt is almost equal in perf
in raytraced games its up to +50% better

[jagged hazel]

should i just buy 5070 for 550$

[median warren]

ray tracing is worth it for minecraft

[blazing onyx]

Your also getting rdna 4 and just straight up better performance

[pale vigil]

If you can afford to pay like 100 over, that's fine

[austere imp]

you deserve a win today

[random gyro]

thank you guys

[austere imp]

correct

[median warren]

that actually doesnt seem that bad, for 550 usd

[blazing onyx]

Man where's my win at lmao

[random gyro]

i was nervous i wouldnt get it but i did so im happy and i still have a brand new 7900xt to sell

[blazing onyx]

Don't let my luck affect you /j

[random gyro]

its gigabyte so

[blazing onyx]

Oh

I thought you were getting xfx?

[random gyro]

sold out

[austere imp]

ok gamers im out! Go to Microcenter if you can to get your cards! they have $600 9070XTs!

[blazing onyx]

Already? Holy fuck

[random gyro]

panicked bouggt a gigabye OC

[latent pasture]

mfw too concerned to get a cooler thats 1 decibel louder, runs out of the $599 stock

[gloomy sleet]

4060 is currently pulling sub 90w getting 60fps in gta 5 enhanced RT on high preset (with dlss at 1440p)

successful power limiting

decent stats

[latent pasture]

how much perf do u get if u leave it uncapped tho

[gloomy sleet]

70-90

[edgy valve]

is it possible to play beamng drive in vr?

[gloomy sleet]

but 100-110w power draw

[random gyro]

yeah i hope gigabyte was the right purchase

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[edgy valve]

does it require beefy pc specs or nah

[random gyro]

prob slightly

[gloomy sleet]

not really

[edgy valve]

oh ok

[mortal mantle]

how the fuck did a fuse on my PS2 blow

[gloomy sleet]

what do you have

[random gyro]

u play bmg drive vr cus u hate your self? that would be horrifying

[gloomy sleet]

[edgy valve]

r7 9700x and rtx 3060 12gb

[random gyro]

ur good

[gloomy sleet]

your fine

[edgy valve]

oh ok

[random gyro]

amazing cpu

[gloomy sleet]

60fps atleast completely playable

[latent pasture]

ur fine but howd u get a pc that skewed

[edgy valve]

i just upgraded my cpu cause it was really bad before, but im gonna upgrade my gpu soon

[mortal mantle]

so it's fucked

[random gyro]

9070xts are officially sold out i believe

[gloomy sleet]

id get a 9070xt if you can

[edgy valve]

is the 9070 or 9070xt good for the r7 9700x?

[gloomy sleet]

unless you can fix it yes

[random gyro]

9070xt

[mortal mantle]

I don't think they need a GPU upgrade

[blazing onyx]

R5 5600 should be fine for a debian game server right? Just like, modded mc or factorio or something

[edgy valve]

ok

[gloomy sleet]

that cpu can run a 5090 perfectly fine

[strange atlas]

I just want to make my mind clear any help would be nice https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1347207005479239681

[edgy valve]

i cant afford that

[gloomy sleet]

thats fine for 5-10 people

[blazing onyx]

32gb ram

[gloomy sleet]

past that a bit dodgy but still playable

at least for minecraft

[blazing onyx]

Well i have maybe 4 people that would be on at any given time, so

[blazing onyx]

Even with like. Create?

[random gyro]

chat gpt tellin me gigabyte has a QC problem we believing this?

[gloomy sleet]

probably

[gloomy sleet]

100% fine

[gloomy sleet]

itll be fine

you bought it new you have a warranty

also when is gigabyte becoming terrarbyte

[random gyro]

i know a good amount about pcs but everyone has a grey area mine is OC, since i bought a OC version what is better then a Non oc? will i even notice

[mortal mantle]

if this is fine a R7 9700x, RTX 3060 12GB is too

[glass scaffold]

Anyone know if the brand makes a big difference? Found a slightly below average price one in Poland “9070xt reaper”

[mortal mantle]

i know a good amount about pcs but everyone has a grey area mine is OC, since i bought a OC version what is better then a Non oc? will i even notice

mb for re commenting it but i need help

[spiral estuary]

fun

[tidal geyser]

price of the card you wanted to buy

[elder quarry]

no

[blazing onyx]

Perfect, now the only issue will be the fact that I'm running a server on wifi ;-;

[elder quarry]

get a new fuse

and replace it

[elder quarry]

install drivers

[indigo lintel]

no that wasnt meant for u lol

[tulip sparrow]

Looks like all the 9070(XT)s are quickly selling out all over the place which is what I was expecting

[tidal geyser]

you too did a combo switch thing to be in wifi bridge mode

[random gyro]

gigabyte or xfx

[blazing onyx]

Huh?

[blazing onyx]

??

[jagged hazel]

still lucky regardless

[indigo lintel]

yup

[tidal geyser]

not me, i really did think they would have enough stock for at least a day

[elder quarry]

install wifi drivers?!

[indigo lintel]

why not both

[blazing onyx]

It's debian, I don't know how

[tidal geyser]

there is no good server OS that will really allow you to do wifi

[spiral estuary]

where i am they are being sold for well above msrp

[blazing onyx]

Desktop debian 12

[elder quarry]

oh then it should already been installed

[tulip sparrow]

Scalpers/Miners likely buying them all up again

[tidal geyser]

then its not a server

[indigo lintel]

same here

[random gyro]

but seriously

[tulip sparrow]

that as well

[tidal geyser]

miners?

[elder quarry]

huh

[blazing onyx]

I'm only installing desktop debian for wifi, I'm going to only be using it as a server though

[indigo lintel]

gigabyte has always done me good, no idea what xfx is

[tulip sparrow]

Don't kid yourself Miners are still buying GPUS

[jagged hazel]

i could drive ~2 hours and and get a 9070 xt for about 600$

[random gyro]

gas money

ur getting it for 700 plus tax 750

[tidal geyser]

why not ASICs?

[strange atlas]

I have gen3 pcie slot on my mobo people says dont get sn580 it gets too hot in gen3 is that actually the case seemed so weird

[tidal geyser]

what??

[indigo lintel]

thats only 20 bucks or something

[jagged hazel]

i could go that 2 hours and back on about 15$ of gas so

[indigo lintel]

well call them up and have them put it away for you

[tidal geyser]

it would actually be cooler in a gen 3 slot

[random gyro]

hmm so only 680 ish? good deal i say

i drive a diesel truck so

[strange atlas]

i'm reading amazon reviews they say dont get sn580 if you have pcie gen 3 slot it gets too hot i do not know why i havent used m2 in my life

[jagged hazel]

I don't have the money for that lol

[mortal mantle]

I don't know why it blew

[strange atlas]

also seemed weird to me since you cant use all of the w/r speeds

[tidal geyser]

well thats a skill issue

[light oriole]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/THVWKq

this is the plan here

[random gyro]

get 5600x

[jagged hazel]

why is everone using the 5 5600

[cold skiff]

Why are you getting an sn850x when you can’t use the full speeds?

[tidal geyser]

why?

[light oriole]

no this is my current setup

[random gyro]

ohh

[elder quarry]

it's cheap

[light oriole]

just planning to change my 3060ti

[blazing onyx]

Because it's cheap and still damn good to this day

[tidal geyser]

5600x costs more

[random gyro]

5600x is better def worth it

[jagged hazel]

sobbing

[random gyro]

barelyyyyy

[tidal geyser]

not really?

[light oriole]

yeah at the time it was a better deal for me

[strange atlas]

why tf is this ssd so expensive

[blazing onyx]

5600x is just 5600 with slightly higher base clock is it not?

[strange atlas]

317 dollar for ssd is crazy

[light oriole]

only 10 percent from what i remember

[edgy valve]

if i cant afford anything more expenisve is the logitech g923 sim wheel a decent option for a first sim setup

[random gyro]

5600x is ten dollars more

[tidal geyser]

so tiny you will not notice it

[jagged hazel]

i don't think I'll ever go back to the 5's since i currently have a r7 9700x

[blazing onyx]

I don't believe amd limits cpu overclocking. You can do the same shit with the 5600

[cold skiff]

You’re in Turkey

[tidal geyser]

so then the non x is more worth it

[cold skiff]

It’s like living in Sweden

[tidal geyser]

amd aint assholes

[cold skiff]

Electronics just expensive

[blazing onyx]

Exactly

[random gyro]

why wouldnt you pay the extra tennnn

[strange atlas]

You are right but 317 dollar is too expensive even for here

[random gyro]

ten more for a x? take my gas station hotdogs

[blazing onyx]

Because people don't know how to overclock

[random gyro]

understandable

[strange atlas]

I can get an ssd starting price of 59 dollars here not saying its great but you can get it

[cold skiff]

The thing is you don’t need to overclock

[random gyro]

depends no?

some people it prob benefits a lot

[light oriole]

the base ones are sold out 😭💀

[blazing onyx]

5600x is just an overclocked 5600,
But amd doesn't limited overclocks on their cpus

[cold skiff]

If you’re overclocking newly bought older hardware you’re doing it for fun or not buying right

[random gyro]

i say spend the extra 10 come onnnnnnnn

[jade kestrel]

Go for 5700X3D the 5600X is to weak for 9070XT

Unless you play 4k

[light oriole]

still am4?

[jagged hazel]

why not go up to 7?

[strange atlas]

If one of you all understand of ssds can you all help me https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1347207005479239681

[blazing onyx]

Better yet,
Have half the money and get a 5500 /j

[random gyro]

or hear me out

[jagged hazel]

i just sold a 5 5500 pc lol

[random gyro]

sell ur gpu buy a 9800x3d run intergrated

[blazing onyx]

That's like the 3rd time you've said that can you just be patient

[cold skiff]

Honestly it doesn’t matter too much anymore what you buy. Speeds are insanely good you don’t notice much different unless you doing something professional

[strange atlas]

Sales will be down tonight thats why i was like that sorry if it disturbs

[gloomy sleet]

getting a 5500 for half the money is a better idea imo

i got mine for £40

[blazing onyx]

I got my gf a 5500 and an rx 580,
She doesn't play that many heavy games so I just saved her some money

[blazing onyx]

It's a joke. Don't do that

[gloomy sleet]

yes do that

[jagged hazel]

i sold my friend 5500 and 1070 and he is playing games that are as old as me

[jade kestrel]

Yesh but honestly if you buying everything new i would go AM5 with 7600 the price difference isn't big at all and you get modern platform which means you can upgrade the cou in 3-4 years without changing motherboard,

[light oriole]

my 750w should be fine

[cold skiff]

Sounds like your gf plays Sims 4

[blazing onyx]

It only has pcie 3 instead of 4, and also half the cache of the 5600

[gloomy sleet]

buying a cheap 5500 isnt that much of a problem

[blazing onyx]

Valorant, overwatch, factorio

[jade kestrel]

Yes

[light oriole]

this isnt new this is what i currently have but just bought a 9070xt

[cold skiff]

I wasn’t far off then 😂

[gloomy sleet]

i found this affected performance so little in the games i play that its not even worth considering a 5600

[blazing onyx]

Honestly no you weren't lmao

[jagged hazel]

if possible we should be going am5 anyway

[tulip sparrow]

Speaking of "Sims" Inzoi will be out later this month hopefully it can carve into EA's dominace of the genre

[gloomy sleet]

the 5600 is literally a sub 1% increase in performance in the games i play

[jagged hazel]

factorio can be intensive

[blazing onyx]

Yea but that's expensive

[jade kestrel]

Oh yeah makes more sense then but i would recommend getting 5700X3D it wll be nice bump in performance.

[jagged hazel]

i got my mobo cpu and ram for less than 500$

[blazing onyx]

It's not too bad, I remember my i5 3230m running factorio on integrated at a solid 60/60 with a full LTN megabase

[light oriole]

yeah setting this 3060ti to get that more than likely

[fresh escarp]

i got ma gpu for 185eur

[jagged hazel]

but i kept my rx 6700 cuz gpu's wouldve put the build at like 1200 instead of the like 800$

[iron glen]

which gpu is it

[fresh escarp]

sapphire pulse rx 6600 xt 8gb oc

[random gyro]

my 7700x 9070xt is gonna slam rainbow six and black myth wukong

[median warren]

if you steal money from someone, you have more money for your budget

[light oriole]

even if i get that cpu tho i wouldnt have to upgrade my psu?

[strange atlas]

Kinda when i'm unpacking things for the game engine it uses really high speeds but like its okay for me since i'm currently using hdd so it will be upgrade no matter what

[jagged hazel]

i mean i kinda did lol i sold r5 5550 +1070 for 470$

[inland perch]

guys

[jade kestrel]

Should be fine as long its high quality one

[inland perch]

is i5-13450HX worth 100$ more dollars than amd ryzen 7 7435hs

[jade kestrel]

I'm fine with 650w psu and i have 9800X3D and 6900XT currently

[light oriole]

its a rx 750w corsair gold

[jagged hazel]

yeah lol

[jade kestrel]

Yeah that's fine

[light oriole]

oh neattt

wattage about 555w

[tulip sparrow]

For Laptops is AMD still the one to go with over Intel or has Intel closed that gap/leapfrogged yet?

[inland perch]

@tidal geyser

a friend's getting a lenovo loq laptop

[tidal geyser]

nice

[tidal geyser]

o yeah no the hx laptop from what i remember will kill itself

[boreal vine]

oh god

why does sapphire do this

[tulip sparrow]

I may as well look into replacing my old i7 7700hq+1060 3GB based Sager(Clevo)

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-thousand-yard-stare-stare-tiktok-wtf-gif-12206044702998985154

[fresh escarp]

sapphire is awesome

[strange atlas]

how are we suppose to unplug it

[blazing onyx]

a 13th gen i5 should be fine, It was mostly an upper i7/i9 issue

[tulip sparrow]

Haven't really been paying attention to the laptop market for a while now

[tidal geyser]

not like that

loq HX laptops are just known to die

[blazing onyx]

But yea amd is almost always better for mobile it seems like

[tidal geyser]

well its using a zen 3 cpu

[sinful cobalt]

"oh yea, so how do we get it out?"
"we dont."

[boreal vine]

you have to take off the top panel to remove it

[blazing onyx]

Oh, I thought you meant the whole 13/14 thing

[inland perch]

yeah we were in an arguement about this since 7435hs only has 4 cores while i5-13 has 10 😭

[blazing onyx]

Also I feel cheated lmao

[rapid quarry]

I guess you plug in the power cable and then slot in the gpu

[tidal geyser]

no they have the same amount of cores at least while gaming

[strange atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-soda-sleezeymir-gif-23333267

[tulip sparrow]

There is ZERO way I am affording something like the AI 395 from AMD at this point in time since its in $2k+ devices

[lapis talon]

When will the card restock?

[blazing onyx]

I've got my laptop with it's mobile 4070 and core 9 ultra, and now strix halo exists 🤣

[strange atlas]

AH HELL NAH

[inland perch]

hmm,okay thanks <3

[tidal geyser]

i lied the ryzen has 2 extra cores on top of that

[sinful cobalt]

thrice the price for the performance of a rtx 4060

[tulip sparrow]

Just wondering if AMD is still "KING" in the mainstream laptop market

[lapis talon]

sim, you got any idea?

[blazing onyx]

You also have to remember, most of those cores on the i5 are shitty e cores

[boreal vine]

integrated ARGB controller though is pretty fucking pog

[tulip sparrow]

Those 10 cores don't mean SHIT when most of them are Low power cores

[blazing onyx]

^

Oh wait nevermind

[boreal vine]

They kinda still are

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure I need at LEAST 6-8 HIGHEND cores on a laptop the rest can be whatever

[blazing onyx]

I thought it was less, i5 13450hx has 6 p cores 4 e cores

[boreal vine]

just because they don't tend to run as hot as intel equivalents

[inland perch]

yeah

[boreal vine]

and use less power

Though remember that they don't tend to clock down and have an extensive PL mapping as intel based laptops

[blazing onyx]

They made strix halo and the 9070,

Amd is just beating the shit out of everyone lmao

[boreal vine]

so you win some you lose some

[long brook]

I like how the connector is at the end of the card like EVGA would of done

[tulip sparrow]

NOT everyone is purchasing Strix Halo devices tho since that is priced out of the "Mainstream"

[zinc widget]

Gtx 1080 strix ahhhh feature

[blazing onyx]

Still, a mobile processor with an igpu nearly the power of a 4060, that's fukin impressive

[plain cypress]

Laptop OEMs don't bother with AMD dGPUs

[tidal geyser]

if you cant go to a local MC then a while, with some luck 1-2 weeks

[plain cypress]

The vast majority of dGPUs in laptops are Nvidia xx50/xx60 class

[tulip sparrow]

Apparently Strix Halo is a BEAST for LLM(AKA AI workloads) and thsoe will likely be the vast majority of users

[blazing onyx]

Unfortunatly

[plain cypress]

RDNA2 was okay for laptops cause it was decently efficient

[blazing onyx]

I do believe nvidia is more power efficient isn't it?

[plain cypress]

RDNA3 was a terrible laptop product

[zinc widget]

https://tenor.com/view/high-five-walter-white-jesse-pinkman-breaking-bad-4k-gif-21661584

[blazing onyx]

If so that makes sense for laptops

[zinc widget]

Is that a freaking12 PIN

[boreal vine]

yes

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah mainstream tens to be i5/i7/R5/R7 paired with a 50/60 tier Card

[zinc widget]

Finally AMD is good

[tulip sparrow]

and those are the VAST majority of users

[blazing onyx]

Fair, I have intel nvidia unfortunately

[plain cypress]

And laptop buyers are least concerned with price to performance
They know Nvidia is Nvidia

[tidal geyser]

?

[blazing onyx]

Apparently the alienware m16 with amd cpu was "outdated and not available"

[zinc widget]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-notebook-gif-26935393

[tulip sparrow]

Basically the $500-$1500 market is the VAST majority of laptop sales

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/black-guy-suit-black-guy-funny-guy-in-suit-skuffed-notskuf-gif-25390799

[blazing onyx]

So I end up with corr ultra and nvidia

[lapis talon]

Any estimate in when the 9070xt will restock?

[blazing onyx]

[plain cypress]

I bought a gaming laptop for the full power CPU and ram

[blazing onyx]

We don't work for the companies, we don't know what or when their deliveries are

[plain cypress]

Throwback to when 16gb of ddr4 was like $150 💀

[random gyro]

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/artificial-intelligence-comes-to-smart-pens-includes-handwriting-to-text-and-chatgpt

[lapis talon]

Any chance of it being within a month?

[random gyro]

I need 🤤🤤🤤

[blazing onyx]

It's not full power I'll tell you that

[zinc widget]

By that time Nvidia will have dropped the 5070 ti price by $75

[tulip sparrow]

I managed to get a $1300 i7 7700hq+1060 3GB based laptop for "half off" and only paid $650 out of pocket it for it

[blazing onyx]

Not bad

[plain cypress]

It was a quad core i7, close enough
I wanted an H sku vs dual core U sku

[blazing onyx]

Beats the 1650 laptop is was using lol

[blazing onyx]

Fair enough

[lapis talon]

Don't care about Nvidia, going for the 9070xt

[blazing onyx]

I will say I am loving core ultra 9 though

Power and efficiency is honestly amazing

[plain cypress]

The chip was capped at 45w vs 65w equivalent on desktop so not too bad

[boreal vine]

dawg what the fuck is that power spike

[tulip sparrow]

Now the laptop needs replacing because of performance. The performance of it was on on par with my i5 3570k+970 based desktop

[plain cypress]

I wonder if the more basic models show the same spiking as the nitro

[drowsy kestrel]

Hello! Is updating bios using the internet feature safe? I don't trust my usb since it keeps disconnecting randomly. Safe to update? ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING, amd ryzen 53400g. Bios is from 2019 and i'm trying to get resizable bar. Thank you

[zinc widget]

That’s an interesting thought tho. If Nvidia dropped the 70 ti price by $75-$100 would you pay the extra $50-$75 for DLSS and nvidia drivers?

[tulip sparrow]

Now if I could find something in the $500-$750 range that can spank it that would be best lol

[lapis condor]

Furmark moment

[random gyro]

850 watt gold plus is good for 9070xt yeah?

[tidal geyser]

moe then plenty

[tulip sparrow]

LOL The MSRP of the 70 ti means SHIT when most cards are well above that

[blazing onyx]

Seeing recent nvidia drivers, HELL no

[zinc widget]

I really like the 9070 xt, but I’d probably pay that

[plain cypress]

Let's say 5070ti MSRP existed vs a premium 9070xt at same price
What are you getting

[boreal vine]

truly a furmark moment

hilarious as fuck tho

[tidal geyser]

paying more for nvidia drivers XD

[boreal vine]

I stopped using furmark entirely due to that

[blazing onyx]

Specifically a laptop?

[tulip sparrow]

The 5070 Ti is a $900+ card at this point in time and it sucks

[lapis condor]

1.5 hours later and ocuk is still on fire

[tulip sparrow]

@blazing onyx yeah I already have a 5800x3d based desktop with a 3070 Ti

[brazen glen]

They’re not even listing the 9070 xt as on sale at my microcenter yet

[tulip sparrow]

Need something to replace my old i7 7700hq+1060 3GB laptop

[blazing onyx]

Hell idk if your getting a better laptop for 700

[distant frigate]

Wonder what that orange wire is

[zinc widget]

Considering brand history it’s not a completely unreasonable thing. Also more games support DLSS then the versions of FSR that require AMD gpu.

[lapis talon]

How much were you selling it for again

[tidal geyser]

what

[blazing onyx]

I would just get a cheap laptop to remote desktop with, spend the rest improving your home internet

[random gyro]

selling my 7900xt?

[tulip sparrow]

@blazing onyx I was talking about a laptop replacing a laptop LOL

[brazen glen]

Best Buy is sold out and the only place I can find an msrp model is Amazon for a 9070 OC from xfx

[tidal geyser]

amd drivers have been good for a while now

[lapis talon]

Wasn't it 9070xt

[random gyro]

im keeping my 9070xt i game a lot i dont scalp

[tidal geyser]

while nvidia is just getting worse and worse

[brazen glen]

AMD drivers are totally fine now btw

[tulip sparrow]

I know I am NOT beating my 5800x3d desktop with a laptop in that price LOL

[blazing onyx]

You said the old laptop had a 1060 right?,
That's still gonna be hard to beat for 700

[lapis talon]

Sell it for what you bought it for then, won't be scalping 💀

[brazen glen]

At least this seems like an actual rush to buy a good product and not a paper launch scalper fest

[tulip sparrow]

and even then highend laptops aren't beating this thing LOL

@blazing onyx yeah but the 3GB variant of the 1060

[random gyro]

nooo not selling my 9070xt im selling my 7900xt

[brazen glen]

How much

[lapis talon]

:<

[zinc widget]

How premium we talking? Like just a basic aftermarket cooler or a Suprim vs a FE or a basic aftermarket. Because the 5070 TI FE cooler is terrible.

[random gyro]

prob 900 its brand new un open

and a sapphire

[brazen glen]

Lmao good luck have fun

[tulip sparrow]

1080p@60 is MORE then fine on a laptop for me
