I wouldn’t mind that 70ti bundle if it dropped $50

#

Because while that Msi psu is ok

#

$150 is a bit much for it

balmy solstice
#

still, a 5070 ti tho

#

presumably as unstable as the rest of nvidia 50 series

wise wigeon
#

Yeah and it’s still in stock

balmy solstice
#

wher

wise wigeon
#

Wegg

balmy solstice
#

hmm

wise wigeon
#

Lemme see if I can get to checkout rn

#

Just to test

river mauve
#

yo am i just like stupidly mental blocked for caring about what brand of gpu im gonna buy

wise wigeon
#

Hmm the inspire one is gone

#

But there is another

lone mango
#

Yeah there is a new version that can put out more power

#

2024 model can do 850

wise wigeon
#

It’s a 830 model with a mag 850

#

It’s like 940 total

#

Lemme dm it to you

median kelp
#

GUYS

#

GUYS GUYS GUYS

proud jackal
median kelp
#

It's still whining!

#

It's my power supply not my GPU VleafDance

mortal grail

Replace that

# mortal grail Jfc

It was worse with the 4090 in, it was so loud my sister could hear it from the floor under me

#

.

median kelp
#

Yeah so it's never whined

#

And then I updated drivers and restarted

#

And it started making that sound

dense locust
median kelp
#

I thought it was my GPU

dense locust
#

lol

median kelp
#

It has no 4090 in

#

It's under half load now

#

And still screaming

proud jackal
#

My hx1500i is pretty silent with my 4090

dense locust
median kelp
median kelp
#

Or upgrade

dense locust
#

does your psu have that under warrenty?

#

if so you should

median kelp
#

Lemme check but enermax has usually pretty good warranty

dense locust
#

you can keep it for a rainy day

#

even if you get a new psu

median kelp
#

I have a spare PSU already

#

But it's a 550 watt one meant for testing components

wise wigeon
#

Ngl the $960 ti bundle looking kinda fine

median kelp
#

You see the 9070XT reveal?

#

Insane

#

I'm going to upgrade my sister's 2070 with one I think

wise wigeon
#

Looks good

dense locust
#

IF its only in stock

wise wigeon
#

Ima need some third party before I go for it and it needs to be in stock

median kelp
#

Apparently they've shipped already more units than all of 50 series combined

dense locust
wise wigeon
#

The $960 bundle has a decent psu that is a lil too expensive but it comes with a $20 steam card

dense locust
wise wigeon
#

We need street price before we know if it’s good

#

Msrp means nothing

#

If it’s closer to 750 or 800 on average

#

Why not pay the extra 30 bucks for dlss and other Nvidia stuff if you’re into that stuff

#

By ands own admission it’s still a lil weaker in RT

dense locust
#

if true, 2% is margin of error

wise wigeon
#

Yep

dense locust
#

only if real world performance is actually 2% tho

wise wigeon
#

And the raster perf is pretty much margin of error barring games that are know to heavily favor and

#

Known to favor amd*

#

If street price is within 30-50 bucks I’d prob pay the extra for dlss4

median kelp
#

Well fsr is about to get hardware accelerated model

wise wigeon
median kelp
#

And we already can see xess hardware vs software, I imagine fsr will have similar improvements

median kelp
wise wigeon
#

I mean if the street price is close enough

#

Yes

median kelp
#

The 5070ti AIB models are all around $900

#

Anything lower than that will be continuously out of stock

#

Also what's with them thinking they can charge $1050 for a 5070ti???? That's more than 5080 msrp

wise wigeon
#

Hmm if you need a new psu the $960 bundle really ain’t bad

median kelp
#

Pfft

#

I don't trust whatever Newegg has sitting and rotting in their warehouse tbh

median kelp
#

If it's bundled I stay faaarrrrr away

wise wigeon
#

As in mr cybernetics himself

mortal grail
#

If he says it's good, it's good

wise wigeon
#

It’s was like reviewed on the 30th of march

#

I’m not saying it’s a good price

devout forum
wise wigeon
#

But 830 is palatable

#

So if you need a psu or like having a decent one as an extra

#

It’s there

#

Not gonna say it’s amazing or anything

#

But it’s loss than a xtx alone rn

hoary zodiac

steamed hams

wise wigeon
#

With the steam card if you you steam which I mean on pc you probably do

#

Enermax says 7 year full warranty

#

So I put in an RMA ticket

wise wigeon
median kelp
#

Hell if it lasted 2 years I'mma just replace it with the same one and hopefully last 2 more 😂

wise wigeon
#

Thought it was the 2020 or 2018 model like mine

median kelp
#

Well

#

November of 2022

#

But I believe it's the 2020 model

wise wigeon
#

I see

median kelp
#

They were still selling them new

#

And it wasn't third party, it was enermax as seller on amazon

wise wigeon
#

Yeah they got new models now

median kelp
#

Well if it works it works?

wise wigeon
#

Yeah for sure

#

Personally with a new build I splurged for a new psu with newer reqs

median kelp
#

Besides I'mma throw away my new 13700K soon (got it RMA'd by Intel) whenever 9800X3D comes back in stock enough for microcenter to do the $649 bundle again

#

They were doing it for a little while but they sold out

wise wigeon
#

Unlucky

median kelp
#

Was it $649 or lower? vapThink

wise wigeon
#

It was like as low as 512

#

But just mobo and cpu

median kelp
#

Motherboard CPU and ram??

#

Oh

#

I need ram to sell my 13700K as a set on marketplace

wise wigeon
#

But the microcenter ram is like cl32

median kelp
#

I'm keeping my 2 x 24GB kit

#

I spent $190 on a really nice kit

wise wigeon
#

With the mobo and cpu bundle you get to chose your ram

devout forum
#

I'm still stuck on AMD showing all graphs at native performance

#

Hold on

#

Do we know whether the 5070 Ti numbers are with upscaling included, or native?

lone mango
#

Also seems to scale a bit better at higher resolutions

fresh timber

TUF uses three 8pins

The mag fan one

wise wigeon

Eh

devout forum

I love how Sapphire allows you to use mobo software to sync up the Nitro+ cards RGB to the whole system

mortal grail

It's the angular one, mercury

devout forum
#

no need for extra software

mortal grail

Thick af

#

Idk what it's called

Tf 9?

If the card has 3 power rails then the 2x6 shouldn't be a concern. Still put off by it tho

Is 6400 CL30 reasonable for a 9800X3D

Is it?

balmy solstice
lone mango

When I saw the card it was only from the angle showing the front of it

median kelp
wise wigeon

And from that angle it looked good

median kelp
balmy solstice

lone mango
#

They should be silver instead that would be better

median kelp
#

And they took away hyper threading

balmy solstice
#

they should thread it back in fr

devout forum
lone mango
#

Nah it worked out its actually faster in cinebench

wise wigeon

Gigabyte is basic but sometimes that’s for the best

balmy solstice

also no need to flash update bios on gigabyte mobo

It's going in the 6900xt build and that thing has a tired old 465x case

mortal grail

It can technically fit eatx

lone mango
#

When they showed that it was at 4k

wise wigeon
#

But it’s like 19 length

lone mango
#

So of course it would look really good

idle nexus
#

lol can't argue with results. what are you using bench setup for? joining hwbot soon?

mortal grail
#

Full tower case is too big

wise wigeon
#

What dimensions are you looking for

random osprey
wise wigeon
#

It’s bigger than say a 207

mortal grail
#

(465x is the length in the name)

idle nexus
#

I mean you don't have to worry about voltage drop unless the lines are realllly long. iirc the NEC doesn't make you factor in for voltage drop until the line exceeds 1000' but that's A/C which is much better at traveling distance v. DC

lone mango
#

We gotta see how fsr 4 is at with 1440p

mortal grail
#

Ah yeah 53 is way too long

#

Won't fit

median kelp
#

Why are atx 3.1 power supplies so expensive

idle nexus
#

in fact, that was one of the major reasons Edison lost & Westinghouse won

median kelp
#

Like

mortal grail
#

North will barely fit at 469

median kelp

$190 for a power supply be kinda crazy imo

Also comes with the bracket to side mount the psu like the 207

mortal grail

Nah I can't

The pc would hang off the side of the desk

you could also use like mullvad browser

anyone know how to make a web browser? lol

lone mango
#

I just want a simple browser man

hoary zodiac

Yeah I want to use a browser

lone mango

So I guess mullvad

Or maybe librewolf

Librewolf is firefox based not idk if the tos affects it

what about Opera GX?

Tor browser

idle nexus
#

does all this data grabbing still happen if you do pihole &/or manually set DNS? if not I wasted a lot of time lol

lone mango
#

Thats a good question

velvet summit
#

depends on if the data grabbing is done on a blocked domain or not 🧐

lone mango

Thing is that its brand new so we dont know

misty sparrow

it's painfully bad

and it's chromium anyway

devout forum
#

and unironically it's better than Chrome

misty sparrow
#

to me it's just a bunch of bloat

velvet summit
#

having used both chrome and operagx (my browser experience was explorer for a year, then firefox for another few years, then chrome for like 3 years, then opera for 2 years, then opera gx for 3 years, then back to chrome now)
honestly i feel like chrome is less bloated than gx
i mainly switched to gx due to having a ram limited back when i only had 8gb ram, though honestly it wasnt much better if at all than to chrome

mortal grail
#

Oh I'm stupid

velvet summit
#

and firefox had gotten much better since when i used it back in like 2008

#

@idle nexus i eat ram for breakfast

river mauve

im tryna figure out why such a price difference

velvet summit
#

Idk if there are alternatives that are made for single PC use though

fresh timber
#

just use ublock orgin lel

#

buy a optiplex

#

eas

lone mango
#

Or just get a pi

#

Is what it is

fresh timber
lone mango
#

All ima use it for tho is pihole

#

If i even get one that is

#

Could just switch to a different browser like zen

#

Thing is tho

#

If firefox goes under so do the forks of firefox

lone mango

# mortal grail Try a different monitor or tv

would i still need to try a different monitor if it doesn't appear when i swapped it for a 750 ti? and since i can't get it to happen in games or have any other issues im thinking it might be an amd driver issue

mortal grail
#

If it's happening on a completely new install it's sus

#

I don't mean like a "reset"

#

Reset is bs

#

Full wipe and reinstall

nocturne merlin
#

yeah fresh stick

mortal grail
#

Yeah then I'd just check another monitor

#

Just to be sure

#

It does sound sus

nocturne merlin
#

also, if i rma'd it would they still be able to issue a replacement or repair even if it's hard to replicate and doesn't immediately die? it's within warranty

mortal grail
#

Spare no details

nocturne merlin
#

alright thanks

mortal grail
#

Explain everything clearly

#

But just check with another monitor first

#

AND ESPECIALLY

#

New cable

#

Bad cables do all sorts of bad nonsense

#

Yes

#

Even if 750ti used it

nocturne merlin
#

my only other monitor is a samsung that only has vga lol and yeah it also happens with a different cable

#

and sometimes very slight horizonal artifacts

#

might just be the gpu

mortal grail
#

Like flickering?

#

Shapes

#

Geometry

#

Space invaders?

nocturne merlin
#

it's a straight horizonal line and you can tell it's there because it slightly warps the colors but it appears for like a milisecond

#

and not even under load, just desktop use

mortal grail
#

Ah yep

#

Ok yep that's either monitor or gpu

#

Just check another monitor any will do

nocturne merlin
#

alr

mortal grail
#

Same symptoms? Rma the gpu

#

Sounds like a dying vram chip

#

Take videos of all of it

Including packing and sending it

well looks like they don't have the exact version of my rx 6600 in stock anymore for warranty hence they'll just wire me the original sum (229$). what's a good value gpu i should get for my r5 5600x? preferably around the 300 dollar ballpark

how much is the 6700xt currently
or like a 7600(xt)

nocturne merlin
sweet phoenix
#

Are you fine with used?

nocturne merlin
#

yeah but the market here probably isnt gonna be a lot better than new lol

sweet phoenix
#

A 6700xt/6750xt/2080 ti would be good for the more than 8gb vram

#

Or 6700 non xt has 10gb, arc a750/a770 maybe decent options

velvet summit
sweet phoenix
#

If not, 2070/super, 5700/xt, 1080 ti, 6600, 6600xt, 6650xt, or 7600

I’m thinking of the 3070

is a b570 an option lol? found one new for 250$

sweet phoenix

Its kinda meh

#

The b580 is decent

B570 is kind of a neutered b580

sweet phoenix
#

What country are you in?

nocturne merlin
#

4060 oc new for 350$?

probably a lot cheaper in the us

Never buy a 4060

sweet phoenix
#

Rx 7600 is normally $50-75 cheaper and is only a few % worse

#

I've only suggested it in the UK bc their gpu pricing is weird for the mid range

nocturne merlin
#

cheapest 7600 seems to be 300$

#

how much is it for you guys lol

sweet phoenix
#

Its $250-260 and 4060 is $305

#

7600 is a bit worse than a 2080

nocturne merlin
#

whats the cheapest new card i could get for more than 8gb vram

sinful blade
#

Slap the chart in here

sweet phoenix
#

If b580 isn't in stock

#

7600xt is hot garbage

dense locust
#

You could wait for a b580 restock

nocturne merlin
#

is intel fine with drivers and issues now? i heard a lot of bad stuff at launch and performance related problems

sweet phoenix
#

They've gotten a lot better but they're certainly not flawless

#

I'd look at compatibility with the games you're playing, maybe benchmarks on YouTube

nocturne merlin
#

will it offer better raytracing performance at that price range compared to amd?

sinful blade
#

They’re great in newer games, but you’ll have some issues in older games.

sweet phoenix
#

No gpu at this price bracket will handle ray tracing

sinful blade
#

Unless you find the godliest priced 4070

nocturne merlin
#

i mean not handle well of course lol but with my 6600 i could get away with using raytracing with minecraft shaders or light stuff

sweet phoenix
#

Oh yeah

#

Mc rtx is easy enough

nocturne merlin
#

7700 xt used for 350$?

#

or b580 a bit cheaper than that

sinful blade
#

Can you bargain with the 7700xt guy? Or is it store?

nocturne merlin
#

nah he says final price

#

i mean its probably a bad price for US standards but here it seems alright

If Bacca thinks that’s a decent price, I’d take it anyways.

@sweet phoenix how we feelin

I'd take that personally

alr ill probably go with that

sweet phoenix
#

Pretty big upgrade from the 6600 too

still sun
#

@nocturne merlin 3080 Refurbs are only like 380 and offer a bit more performance than the 7700xt

sweet phoenix
#

And its good enough to last you quite a few years for gaming

#

Not in the US

still sun
#

I dunno if i would fully reccoment that route though. Ah

sinful blade
#

3080 is gonna be $400-450 for him

nocturne merlin

haha refurb and not used here seems to be 1200$ 😂

#

for 3080 ti

still sun
#

yeah the TIs are quite a jump up in price

nocturne merlin
#

nvidia prices here are so goofy, only amd and intel seem to be a good option for some reason

sweet phoenix
#

7700xt is a bit better than a 3070 but has more vram

sinful blade
#

@nocturne merlin take that 7700xt when you can then

nocturne merlin
#

alr

still sun
#

what are you upgrading from?

sinful blade
still sun
#

that should be a nice bump

sinful blade
#

Man’s upgrading from a better gpu than I have peepoSadSip

nocturne merlin
#

btw since i have some spare cash, should i get an nvme over my mx500 sata for the os or upgrade my ram from 16gb 2666 to 32gb 3600? what would give more performance

sinful blade
#

But that’s cuz load times don’t bother me.

still sun
#

I bought an SSD last year and dont know how i managed without it for so long

nocturne merlin
sweet phoenix
#

Yeah definitely ram

#

A sata ssd is perfectly fine for games

nocturne merlin
#

ive been using it for cs since 2013 so now i feel like exploding when i see 16:9 lol

#

only with cs though

sinful blade
#

I’ve been using 1680x1050 60Hz on this old HP-w2207h I found for free on marketplace for a bit

#

It sucks butt.

#

Occasionally I’ll swap over to the 1920x1080 60Hz on my tv.

#

When it’s not in use.

nocturne merlin
#

i feel like lower resolution 16:9 or 16:10 tend to look worse for fps games than 4:3 stretched

#

and i also get that crispy fov even though it probably doesnt even matter lol

sinful blade
#

I use 105 fov on d2
That’s about as high as any of my games get

nocturne merlin
#

oh and if i get a 3 fan card would it matter that i dont have a sag bracket? i mean its not a 4090 or something that heavy

sinful blade
#

I used an $8 anti-sag stick from Amazon for my heavy old 1080.

If it sags, just grab something cheap and effective.

nocturne merlin
#

could sagging slightly realistically cause anything or is it just to be safe

#

even my 2 fan card deviates a bit

sinful blade
#

It can damage the bracket and motherboard, so it’s best to not let it sag.

Here's a quick tutorial Gary

idle nexus
#

took me like 4 driver installs just to figure out where the equivalent to Nvidia control panel was on this HD7970 I'm currently torturing

mortal grail
#

Radeon OC is just Ryzen OC but gpu

mortal grail
#

You have vram OC

#

Which is like

#

Kinda tangent

#

The rest is just ryzen PBO +CO

idle nexus
#

ya but at least I get voltage control

mortal grail
#

Literally

idle nexus
#

also this thing is ancient so I used BIOS mod to make my own vBIOS

#

unfortunately it won't let me go higher than 1400mv for core lol

#

& 1700mv for memory

#

heckers

#

it's so stupid when you're maxing out voltage & core temps are like 40C lol

mortal grail
#

Lol

idle nexus
#

#teamred

#

it even fails in red

#

wait... why did it reset my memory voltage

#

maybe I can run 1300mhz hmm

#

this card is so weird

#

I have to relaunch 3dmark11 between OC changes or futuremark sysinfo crashes

nocturne merlin
#

also forgot to mention i had a consistent problem with the 6600 where if i had rebar enabled in the amd panel i would get way worse performance specifically on fh5 and stutters every 5 seconds, disabled it was fine. could this be a ram or a gpu issue

idle nexus
#

The coils on this gpu whine like I said I won't buy it any vbucks

idle nexus
nocturne merlin
#

well yeah that's why it shows up in the amd panel thing. if i disable it in bios it also shows up as disabled in the panel

velvet summit
#

@mortal grail is it true that you eat powderized children in aussie land

idle nexus
#

Ah okay. Latest BIOS btw? Or at least not really old ones. Which board/cpu btw?

nocturne merlin
#

r5 5600x b550 aorus elite v2 rev 1.4

#

yeah bios is pretty recent but probably not latest

idle nexus
#

That should be fine as long as they're not really old. Hmm

nocturne merlin
#

ram is 2666 so idk if that's the issue with rebar

#

my friend with the same cpu but 3600 ram and 6650xt said he had on average like a 25% fps gain from rebar whilst i get stutters and drops

frigid stag
#

It’s awful with slow ram

#

Needs fast ram for the infinity fabric

nocturne merlin
#

if 3600 ram were 20% more expensive than 3200 is it still worth it

frigid stag
#

Idk I’m not your accountant

#

Up to you

nocturne merlin
#

well is the performance that much better is the question

frigid stag
#

Eh it’s slightly better

peak heart
#

Yo chat wsup with 9070xt?

frigid stag
#

If it’s 3600c18 vs 3200c16 then not a huge difference

#

At xmp at least

#

If it was c16 for both then 3600 might be worth

nocturne merlin
#

also does the ram capacity matter or improve performance even if the game doesn't use it or is it just the speed that matters

idle nexus
nocturne merlin
#

dont know much about xmp since i have the same sticks since ddr4 was out lol but the default xmp profile is 2667

#

so the same as ram

rancid juniper

Radeon RX 9070 XT already more popular than RX 9070 AMD has opened preorders for the just-announced Radeon RX 9070 series. The preorders are available exclusively in China for now. The company faces an uphill battle to gain momentum in China’s GPU market, which is largely dominated by NVIDIA. NVIDIA’s cards are favored by gamers, […]

this is an elaborate ploy from AMD to get people to buy 9070xt since the 9070 is only $50 cheaper

# rancid juniper yep, this is sad

If they’re gunning for market share this vicious marketing is somewhat necessary cuz lets think of this in the perspective of normal consumers who bought the 9070xt and used it for a year and really liked it they’re gonna tell people about it and the value and other crap and now buyers interested in the card will look into them and with perfect timing the non xt version has dropped in price significantly

So they’re likely gonna grab the deal they think is best

"What's strange is the fact that results are thrown on their head with the RX6600 & don't even remotely resemble what we're seeing with the 6800XT . . . at best a 3% uplift which isn't even a perceivable performance improvement."

opaque sedge
# opaque sedge They have a crapton of options to undercut nvidia this year

There is one issue and that is that its gonna be hard to change consumer perspective of the companies cuz realistically a sound minded consumer isn’t gonna buy a gpu every generation they’re likely to skip one or two or even three and the ones who haven’t upgraded yet likely still have a good impression of nvidia and bad one of radeon

Time in the end is still the biggest obstacle
