The older radeon cards all spiked at or near that high too

odd siren
XTX cards spike constantly to 550W
Whereas old 6900XTs went to 600-ish
It's somewhat par for the course
4090s do over 750w for example
5090s near 900
And yet I can still recommend 750W psus for 4090s if the pc is built correctly
Cos the number isn't the simple answer
So yeah don't worry about it tbh
It's just a funny high number
We consider that in our suggestions on the server

The latency improvement on oled vs other tech alone gives as much benefit as a couple gpu upgrades as far as fps uptick goes

Is the Asus Prime 9070 OC (non xt) really worth $660? I landed an order on amazon but I don’t know if that is just overpaying or not
junior locust
It's overpriced compared to MSRP but it's ALMOST within reason
Normally MSRP or 5% over MSRP is the reasonable pricing
Wait it's a non-XT
Then it's blergh
versed valve
Yeah I mean it’s 20% over msrp but is that just how this goes?

Though that might be post-tariffs MSRP
I'm not sure about it

What can compete with the 9070 for 650 used?
keen nacelle
6900xt should be $450-500 in the US
Or 6950xt
3080 12gb/ti wouldnt be too far behind, id rather 16gb vram though
7900 gre/7900xt would probably be similarly priced to the 9070 or cost more atm

Hmm. Thank you, real torn on whether to keep it, cancel this order and wait for better prices, or just buy used now.

Buying used is probably smarter

"In online discussions, users have shared varied experiences with PNY GPUs. Some have reported positive outcomes, noting the brand's longstanding collaboration with NVIDIA and the quality of their products. However, others have expressed concerns about customer service and product longevity. One user mentioned a PNY card failing after four months and faced challenges with the warranty process, advising potential buyers to consider other brands. "
Seems like the same story as all brands
you either get a good card, or you get screwed and spend a long time fighting with bad support
I will say, seeing that PNY 5080 at $999 raises my eyebrows at the 5070ti's listed for $999

I'm glad I can roll my PSU into my next build, one less thing to worry about researching

I know I am paying more than necessary for GPU + Mobo + Case, but the amount I am paying unncessarily should be offset if I can sell my existing GPU/CPU/RAM/Mobo
and even if I cant sell it, a week or two of overtime which I get every week will cover the additional cost
whats left of my work bonus is funding most of this anyway

Should pick one channel to post in, #building-and-recc-chat is usually good for these talks or general where it was already posted

Does Minecraft even take advantage of l3
Yes/no. If you are running modded mc with a lot of terrain and entity mods it makes a huge difference. 110 vs 160 fps in my case.
though in most cases, no.
for example, vanilla mc with or without shaders tends to run better on the non v-cache cpus due to the higher speed and no need for all that extra cache.

New PC came in yesterday. So far I've only been downloading stuff and running benchmarks but it seems the 9070 is massively outperforming the 6700 XT. I can play Cyberpunk on max settings with ray tracing (just no path tracing) at 1440p (with FSR 3.1 Quality) at well over 60fps, usually in the 80s.
modest shuttle
most reviewers didn't even include the 6700 in comparisons, I don't think there was ever a question it would be better
light radish
I knew it was better, I just didn't realize it would be this much better lol
limber flax
I'd be massively worried if it wasn't
The damn thing is basically a 5080
Oh sorry I was thinking of the xt
light radish
Ray tracing was practically unthinkable on 6700 XT and now I'm ray tracing at 60+ fps
limber flax
9070 is 5070
modest shuttle
yeah RT is good
limber flax
But better cause you get what you paid for

Undervolting and raising the power limit got me a decent uplift too
modest shuttle
i might flash the bios on my 70ti to try OC'ing for the first time
but never done that before so we will see
I do think it's funny the 9070 has a higher cost per frame than the XT though, granted only by a few dimes.
modest shuttle
Yeah, the 9070 Taichi was the initial card I wanted until I learned about the power connect
both the Nitro+ and the Taichi were the cards I wanted most from the XT line and they have the worst power connectors lol
really like the backplate on the Taichi

Anyone know if the Gaming Trio is supposed to be 'better', worse or the same as the vanguard editions?
MSI cant even list the specs on their own website
they have the gaming trio $20 lower than the vanguard, which suggests it's slightly 'worse'. but Wegg has the gaming trio OC plus for the same price as the vanguard right now
although with shipping it's $13 more, shipping was free through MSI
looks like the vanguard is supposed to be the 'top tier' for the 70ti's
solemn panther
modest shuttle
I dont love that MSI seemingly took orders without being ready to ship, but understand

modest shuttle
we will see if it has all the ROPs 😄
I fully expect to get an email for the priority queue once right after i get it and cant return it too
as long as it has all the ROPs I will order the rest of the build and stop watching GPU trackers

shipping from Cali too, I expected their store to be east coast. maybe its just a dist center

A couple of my friends have built on different variants of that case and they seem to have gone well
It looks like a nice comfortable case to build in
While looking great
modest shuttle
Yeah, it has a lot of features and options I probably won't even use, but I like the freedom it gives. Should be the cleanest looking build I've done
keen flax
Nice hope you also get some cable extensions to complete the build
I got some Asiahorse ones to add to mine after I take everything apart to clean it
modest shuttle
I'm actually probably just going to order a full set of custom cables from moddiy or cablemod
But I've been wondering if that's worth it since the only cables that should be visible are the GPU + motherboard, everything else should be behind the motherboard
modest shuttle
Anyone able to tell me if the type of cable for the 16 pin connectors on GPU's matter? like 2x8 pin to 12v 16-pin or 3x8 pin to 12v 16-pin?

Ideally you'll get a 12V-2x6 but besides that, it doesn't matter much.
Unless you're using a 5090, then everything goes out the window
modest shuttle
these are the options
livid idol
On a technical level, as long as the connector and wires are up to spec 2x 8 pin is fine. There's 3 12V lines in each 8 pin, and they'd go straight into the 6 12V lines on the 12V-2X6 side.

the gpu comes with one, but it wont look good

its weird it doesnt even say on the page to buy it what it is
If it doesn't it'll be 18awg or 16awg
Moddiy doesn't skimp
Both are fine
You can probably find out with some searching around
modest shuttle
from my research it sounds like they choose the gauge based on your psu
odd siren
Which would mean you're at least getting 18
Evga cables iirc are 18awg
Been a while since I looked at my P2
So can't remember immediately lol
modest shuttle
google says EVGA G+ 1000 should use 14awg lol
modest shuttle
"The EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G+ power supply typically uses 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge) cables. Each 18 AWG wire can carry up to 15 amps over a 2-foot length, equating to approximately 180 watts per cable. However, the connectors, such as 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe, have a maximum current rating of 7 to 8 amps per pin. Therefore, while the wire gauge is sufficient, attention should be paid to the connector's current limitations."
modest shuttle
its wild to me that info isnt listed anywhere on evgas pages for the PSU
odd siren
It's not a common question
Brands also don't really want to project they're selling something that could be average or better than others just to be later undercut

Well, thanks for the insight. I will order one or the other tomorrow along with the rest of the build, time to get catch some zzzz's

Even with a 9070 I can't run Wukong at 1440p Cinematic settings at 60+ fps smh
Even 1080p upscaled to 1440p it's regularly dipping below 60. But It'd probably run a lot better if I wasn't on Cinematic mode. I believe Cinematic uses ray tracing so that's probably why. And the game unfortunately doesn't use FSR 4 because it has FSR 3 instead of FSR 3.1
Minecraft with ray tracing runs great though
livid idol
Wukong is also notoriously Nvidia favored
To the point where it's one of like 3 or 4 games that the 4070 ti wins by a decent margin over the 9070 XT

2x8 is better again if available but it's not
out of curiosity, why is 2x8 better than 3?
odd siren
out of curiosity, why is 2x8 better than 3?
Cos it uses less psu plugs as using more makes no real functional difference
You use the same number of pins in 3 pcie vs 4
They just spread them out more
2x8 is ideal cos you just fill out the whole 2 pcie 8 pins instead of partially filling 3 or 4
modest shuttle
I wonder why the adapters most gpus come with are 3 instead of 2

Spoke with the store and cannot return it back unfortunately
So I guess I am stuck with it unfortunately
keen nacelle
it's a toss up between either a decent psu or a low end one, you'll know pretty soon after putting a gpu in the system that needs a good amount of power
native lagoon
So it sounds like I should sell it and use that money to get another one
keen nacelle
it's not a bad idea, but it's up to you. worst case scenario you have to do that later on
native lagoon
Ok I'll take your advice regardless I can't build rn because of the GPU

Question about the GPU I was checking the dimensions for the case I want to use and it states max length of gpu is 305mm and the 9070 is 320mm umm would that even fit?
keen nacelle
Ooof no it wouldn't
I forgot the x3 is super limited gpu clearance wise
I'm sorry
keen nacelle
Not really, unless you find a decently priced 5070
And those are very hard to come by
I'm not suggesting it at this price, but this fits in the case and should be around $620-650 (imo overpriced anyways but yknow, 2025 gpu market)

live kernel 141 error, what can i do to remedy my system?
microcenter hasn't been of any help and im still on the issue btw
supposedly they said they tested, but their report says they only used OCCT like i did before
modest shuttle
supposedly they said they tested, but their report says they only used OCCT like...
Update/resinstall drivers, windows updates, latest chipset drivers, monitor gpu temps and power supply, check for overclocking issues (revert to defaults), google how to run system file checker and DISM to check for corrupt system files, test the gpu in another system, check the event viewer for issues with livekernalevent 141. The LiveKernelEvent 141 error is typically related to GPU issues, including driver failures, overheating, or hardware malfunctions. Could be faulty PSU, GPU or PCIe connection.
frank dagger
Update/resinstall drivers, windows updates, latest chipset drivers, monitor gpu ...
No secondary gpu to test.
If anything its a long line of problems since 2021. But moving the system to a b350 motherboard makes everything work. So this is why its furiating
Maybe cpu replacement could be an option?
Clean install, everything is defaults, replaced psu 6 months ago
Also ram is fine for the 10th time
modest shuttle
If moving it to a different motherboard fixes it, that almost certainly would point to the motherboard being the problem. PCIe slot or lane issues, bios incompatibility or corruption, power delivery problems, RAM compatibility issues, chipset driver issues or OS conflict.
one of the red names likely has more knowledge on this, but i dont see how it's not a motherboard issue
frank dagger
I bought a new motherboard as well btw.
From b550 aorus pro p to a b550 asus tuf
To fix from back in February
modest shuttle
and youve done a full fresh windows install?
psu being a refurb could be an issue as well, there's so many things it could be
do you have anywhere other than microcenter for pc repair
modest shuttle
finding an avenue for testing the gpu on another pc would be a good test
theres posts on microsoft forums mentioning moving the 3080ti to another computer makes the new computer start having the same issue
card could be cooked
but if a diff motherboard makes it all go away, that says the gpu is fine
so its weird

Corsair is somewhat decent about their PSU warranty if you can show the damage to other components

Can always try the oven method if you need to reflow stuff
Only do this in an oven you never use for anything else, especially food, because it releases toxic gas that sticks to the inside surface

I'd recommend asking them first
Oven reflow is always the last ditch
It can break still working stuff after all

Im gathering documentation as well to send to corsair
Still want me to try 99% alchool to rub or naw?
Also i still gotta bother with repasting, but should i even go forward with the thermal pad replacement, or just put the old stuff back on?

Its already in, but i think i freakin stripped a tension screw when putting it back to check its secure.
It was by hand btw. Gosh damn it hexa screws

if you stripped a hex screw by hand either its made of pure chineseium or you're using too small of a driver

It’s possible to get 4070s or 5070s right now

If you pay the price to the tune of a retail scam right now yes that's possible
At a good price worth the value of the card no

Will this will be the case in the summer?

Did you say it's the older GPU's that don't have the temp sensors or Motherboards? I still dont see temps in hwinfo on the 5070

it should have everything in hwinfo64

It's a chonky boy, had to pull one fan off the rad to check the ROPs. It's back in the box now and the 3080 has resumed functioning
had a bit of a scare after putting the 3080 back in, after 15-20 minutes both my screens would just go black, but after installing some drivers it seems to be fine now
I rolled back to 566.36

I've never been one to tweak/OC GPU's but I did tweak this 9070 XT slightly with my minimal knowledge. These tests came back with an avg temp of 48 C. So far I've seen an improvement in games over the 3070 I had in there previously....
I'm still on AM4 using the 5900x CPU
Can CPUs affect GPU benchmark performance or is it all based on the specific GPU you bought and your tuned settings?
