Do you wanna move to dms if its easier cause i have quite a few deals that i found but im not sure which is best

thats the only reason i am even asking because windows defender has failed me many times with mods. not so much exe's but mods it fails and thats the only thing i need on my main computer. on my VM it dont do shit for half the the trojan exes i have downloaded either lol.

pretty good card for a metal/black build

it is

the gaming oc sucks balls

is the tuf all metal or is it only metal braced

The shroud around the sides and back are plastic nvm

but the area around the fans and the backplate is metal

brisk jolt

the tuf 5090 looks good

the fans look better than whatever the gaming OC was

With all this being said that was probably one of the worst peels ever

TUF apparently defaults to 575W

that's what the $150 gets you lol

Any buyers remorse I had is simply gone after this btw

if 32" 4K 240 OLED was available in early 2023, that was the dream. They weren't just yet, so I "settled" for this crazy idea some people had to use an LG TV (what??). Now i'm fully hooked.

it the 6090 is incredible then it’ll be out of stock for months after release and people will be willing to buy a used 5090 because 50 series isn’t on shelves anymore

gentle grotto
#

Still won’t get hot enough, also not worth the risk on contamination. Hot plate is probably the most cost effective method and has the highest success rate

gentle grotto
#

I’d assume you’d just be using a pressure cooker if you attempted that method

#

Hotplate is $10 or so

You can probably use a blowtorch but I have a feeling it would get messy and be slightly toxic. Hotplate melts the solder without warping the substrate. It pops off nice, when it comes off nice you don’t have a layer of baked on underfill

frosty prism
#

yea

i would only really consider the 3070 ti if it was the cheapest of what it offers

and its for 1080p

there's also no reason they couldn't release something like an x970 motherboard that has quad channel memory support for zen 7 (if the I/O die supported it), just when you stick it in an older am5 board it would only be able to use dual channel obv

Quad Chanel ddr5 lol

#

You have faith in AMDs IMC

final glacier
#

zen 6 is moving to a dual IMC

#

still dual channel, but dedicated one to each channel

#

so in theory better memory speed supported

Probably just a buggy and hotter. Cool if it’s better though

Got a question whats the difference between a 9070XT prime and a 9070XT tuf, the only one i know (i think) its tuf got better overcloack

final glacier

they wouldn't do the change for no reason, so there's gotta be some benefit

Where does the little support stand for the RTX5090 go?

#

In the metal in the corner or towards the plastic?

#

I'd be very curious to see how a 2 dimm oc mobo handles zen 6

#

one stick per imc channel

edgy laurel
#

TUF you get a metal shroud, vs. the cheaper plastic of the Prime

#

tl;dr, better cooling solution

astral edge
#

Yep cuz im getting a 815 refund of my died 7900xt and i was choosing a new 9070xt and i saw the prime dropped prices to 730 to 690 I'll just buy a tuf at 720 euros

Owned 7900 XTX and 9070 XT, they're OK in most titles, horrible in others, and I'd def recommend the Nvidia equivalent in the price range just for DLSS and MFG
