Yeah and it’s still in stock
wher
Wegg
hmm
yo am i just like stupidly mental blocked for caring about what brand of gpu im gonna buy
Got to secure checkout fine
It’s a 830 model with a mag 850
It’s like 940 total
Lemme dm it to you

Jet plane
It was worse with the 4090 in, it was so loud my sister could hear it from the floor under me
.
Absolutely insane sound
Yeah so it's never whined
And then I updated drivers and restarted
And it started making that sound
that psu be struggling with that 4090
I thought it was my GPU
lol
Well look
It has no 4090 in
It's under half load now
And still screaming
its wounds it already has do not heal
This is with 0 GPU plugged in
Should I warranty claim it?
Or upgrade
Lemme check but enermax has usually pretty good warranty
Ngl the $960 ti bundle looking kinda fine
You see the 9070XT reveal?
Insane
I'm going to upgrade my sister's 2070 with one I think
Looks good
IF its only in stock
Ima need some third party before I go for it and it needs to be in stock
Apparently they've shipped already more units than all of 50 series combined
backup for the backup
If you can warrenty it i say go for it
The $960 bundle has a decent psu that is a lil too expensive but it comes with a $20 steam card
to be fair didnt they plan to launch before nvidia
Yes
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
if true, 2% is margin of error
Yep
only if real world performance is actually 2% tho
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
Well fsr is about to get hardware accelerated model
Let’s be real here it’s not beating dlss4
And we already can see xess hardware vs software, I imagine fsr will have similar improvements
Yeah but does it need to?
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
Hmm if you need a new psu the $960 bundle really ain’t bad
Reviewed by aris
If it's bundled I stay faaarrrrr away
As in mr cybernetics himself
Half the psus you trust are signed off by aris
If he says it's good, it's good
I'm expecting it'll still be ~200 dollars lower than 5070 Ti street price
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
steamed hams
With the steam card if you you steam which I mean on pc you probably do
Do you have experience with answer files
Its a -20
Also called unattend files
????
Eh idk
I guess not
Indeed
Hell if it lasted 2 years I'mma just replace it with the same one and hopefully last 2 more 😂
It’s 2 years old?
Thought it was the 2020 or 2018 model like mine
I see
They were still selling them new
And it wasn't third party, it was enermax as seller on amazon
Yeah they got new models now
Well if it works it works?
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
Missed out on the Msi bundles yesterday
Unlucky
Was it $649 or lower? 
But the microcenter ram is like cl32
With the mobo and cpu bundle you get to chose your ram
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?
Also seems to scale a bit better at higher resolutions
Presumably native
who wants flint
The gap between it and the gre widened by like 5% from 1440p to 4k
Currently running at 6600 cl28 for my ram
I mean yeah the more gpu limited it gets
WANT
But I've been told Ryzen controllers aren't as friendly
16 pin though
Nah it has 12vh
Native
Synced you want 6000-6400
Not just a 16 pin
Well we have to see how its power delivery is first
Oh really? I don't see a connector
6400+ is a lottery
16 pin inside the heat sink
Yeah its those that go out the side of the pcb
Like where the flow through part is
And can be covered as well with an additional plate that can be placed
TUF uses three 8pins
Dangit!
I mean for the majority of people it won’t be an issue
Am I weird for thinking the mercury xfx looks nicest
As in it probably won’t burn most of the curds don’t
That the glossy one?
The mag fan one
Or the card wide rgb strip
BTW
Boy there is like 9 models of the xt from xfx you need to specify
Eh
I love how Sapphire allows you to use mobo software to sync up the Nitro+ cards RGB to the whole system
It's the angular one, mercury
no need for extra software
If the card has 3 power rails then the 2x6 shouldn't be a concern. Still put off by it tho
So we'll see what it runs the kit is technically 6400 CL30
that looks
Same thing
Yeah tahts the one i was thinking of
The one in white is better
IDK white but
Not in looks at all
There is just a black and white
I'm anti-white PC parts
Yeah its pretty bad
Is 6400 CL30 reasonable for a 9800X3D
too much hassle keeping it clean
And does Ryzen freak out with 24GB dimms?
Bruh
So slow
Huge difference lmao
it should bem but you can just get a 6000CL30 kit and overclock it yourself
SMH
Black heatsink? what the hell
That's actually worse
w sales?
I already have the ram I ain't gonna splurge on new ram
EW GET THAT OUT
I didnt know the heatsink was black
Is it?
Show me a nicer white
are you allergic
When I saw the card it was only from the angle showing the front of it
To core ultra yes
Just looks like shadow to me
And from that angle it looked good
Imo core ultra is even worse than the 11th Gen
it's not about it being white, it's the ugly two-tone of the heatsink
why (i don't know nothing about intel cpu's)
Tf is two tone
There's no two tone there

The fins are black
Core ultra (15th gen) is slower than 14th gen
sounds kinda gpu racist
They should be silver instead that would be better
And they took away hyper threading
rip
they should thread it back in fr
The heatsink fins being black???
Nah it worked out its actually faster in cinebench
Gigabyte is basic but sometimes that’s for the best
Like no cards in existence have painted fins and it's just aluminium??
They just don’t realize it’s just shadow
Its literally reflecting in the image
Literally is metal coloured
Wot
How do you get that sort of shadow in a photo booth environment???
That stuff is black as Vader's robe
Wait no open it ina browser

You gotta open it big and look
Discord moment
It’s regular silver
Yeah opening it properly is different
Ahhhhh no other white cards have 3x8
We got trolled
Yep ima get an xfx

Too bad gigabyte doesnt do vision series
I want that 2x8 fr
Ikr
Vision series was nice
I might get a fractal north with it
It's going in the 6900xt build and that thing has a tired old 465x case
Need a fresh look
What yall think about fsr 4 when it was first showed about 3 months ago
Nor you can join the antec cult
Oh wait they showed more thats rght
Very positive, but they still seem a small step behind
Hub showed it
If it's cheaper and small maybe
Need a standard atx size
It’s $120
Seems ahead of dlss 3 but most likely falls behind 4
imo they shouldn't keep chasing nvidia with upscaling
Define normal
Wait a minute
Oh yeah I forgot I encouraged that lmao
They'll never catch up
Like conventional atx case size
It can technically fit eatx
When they showed that it was at 4k
But it’s like 19 length
So of course it would look really good
lol can't argue with results. what are you using bench setup for? joining hwbot soon?
Full tower case is too big
What dimensions are you looking for
the fourth
It’s bigger than say a 207
Max 465mm
(465x is the length in the name)
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
We gotta see how fsr 4 is at with 1440p
Why are atx 3.1 power supplies so expensive
in fact, that was one of the major reasons Edison lost & Westinghouse won
Like
North will barely fit at 469
Aoorruusss
16gb ram go brrrr
Lil smaller than the north
All good
You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about
See the flux pro is a lil larger too
And has that lil screen in the side
Also comes with the bracket to side mount the psu like the 207
Nah I can't
If I did
The pc would hang off the side of the desk

Can't do it
469 barely fits
I don’t even think of putting my stuff on my desk
It saves a world of cleaning when the PC's are up
Ik it’s a strong glass table
Glass?
But glass is glass
🤨
You ain't ever seen glass before bruv
Glass tables are my least favourite
Well I have the new standing desk I got for 60 from Best Buy
i made this iron farm, what farm do i build tommrow? pokeball farm or food farm
Buts it’s 47.2” x 24”
Elon musk farm
i dont build poltical figures who make funny hand gestures
What's the point of a standing desk
Are they just a taller desk
i have to buld something to farm 🤔
What is the length of the new xfx anyway
Ever heard of free range
circulation & exercise ig?
Free range elon musks
Good question tbh
no raisen
North clearance is 355mm assuming you don’t front rad
lol that's how it starts
free raneg musk
But north top is only 240 support
Hah dammit, it's 360 long
it starts with
Guess I gotta rethink
Think it’d be longer with the support lol
one thing, i don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard I try

all I knowwww
distant horizons enabled?
No
lol where are you finding gifs for this
Artesian
Mr star lord yes
nah he's not star lord he's evil andy dwyer
oh god this case looks really badly designed
it looks cheap and just skewed in a way
ya still does it. I swear my game looks a lot better than this lol
mozilla changed their privacy policy
yeah, they collect data from you now lmao
💀
i mean, this doesnt make a difference to me since i've still been using chrome
Wow just after yet another leadership change
I hope pihole & Adguard DNS will save me
but still, damn that's crazy
ig I gotta use Brave
you could also use like mullvad browser
But brave hits you with those sponsored browser themes
well I'm using Edge so I'm already "cooked" as you kids would say (I think)
Inb4
You open up a new tab and see an ad basically
heck
And also that ad coin thing is stupid
anyone know how to make a web browser? lol
I just want a simple browser man
Yeah I want to use a browser
Librewolf is firefox based not idk if the tos affects it
Hopefully zen doesnt copy mozilla
what about Opera GX?
Tor browser
does all this data grabbing still happen if you do pihole &/or manually set DNS? if not I wasted a lot of time lol
Thats a good question
depends on if the data grabbing is done on a blocked domain or not 🧐
Thing is that its brand new so we dont know
a life
well, i meant in general
jk i have spent more than my fair share of "way too long" building things inside of minecraft
gotta update my lists or something
all of the mods
that bad huh? lol
I'm using it rn
and unironically it's better than Chrome
to me it's just a bunch of bloat

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
Oh I'm stupid
and firefox had gotten much better since when i used it back in like 2008
Fractal north is black inside
wait, 2010 prob
I just need to pick a black 3x8 9070
Duh
So tuf, prime, gaming oc, aorus, red devil
Mayyyybbeeee pure
Have to think about the build a bit
Can you have something like pihole but locally on the computer
can anyone tell me the difference between these 2 gpus from gigabyte? https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/powered-by-nvidia/268817/gigabyte-aorus-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-master-16g-graphics-card-gv-n507taorus-m-16gd.html
ones white ones black
lmao
im tryna figure out why such a price difference
You could host pihole on your computer locally technically speaking
Idk if there are alternatives that are made for single PC use though
Used optiplex around same price and more versatile
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

Huh
So a bit like brave but based on Mozilla instead of chromium
And less crypto focus I suppose
Unholy
There's STILL NONE to buy anywhere
only the used ones brought in from overseas
for double the price of a 4090
Its basically more privaye firefox with extra customization and some things moved around
It has the do not track thing by default but i turned that off because that makes you stick out
Die, YouTube commenter

Techie not being yellow is weird
Mh body is so used to bad sleep
My*
I went to sleep at like 1:30 and woke up at 5
Ok game
That’s kinda cute
Question for the goats, if I wanted to order a 9070/xt on launch day and I don’t have a micro center near me, what site would be the best and around what time should I be up and trying to order?
Ima be real it’s just a bunch of refreshing different pages and checking stock apps
If AMD isn’t lying about stock
Really you have to see which sites have the model you want
My screens been black for lik 5 minutes after the new Nvidia update 😭
Had to restart pc
common problem not usually an issue
and thats regarding all electronics not just that one
Probably a bad driver install I'd DDU the drivers to clean uninstall them
Nah I wouldn't be responsible if I had $81 trillion
Give me $81 trillion and I’m buying Tesla and making a partnership with Chevy to fit LT4s in them
"Hey Chevy, wanna screw up the world's beliefs?"
Chevy: lol yeah
"Tesla owners against Elon" protestors are gonna turn into "" because what are they gonna do lolll
Gonna throw in a software update that bricks their car lmao. What are they gonna do? Sue me?
Also everybody gets a Pikachu statue that’s 1.3' tall and they get arrested if they lose it
yep sue
Shrek 5 - In Theaters Christmas 2026
Far Far Away's Finest are coming.
god help us all
Try a different monitor or tv
And cable to said screen
If it's still doing it, yeah you might have an issue with that card
Hopefully in warranty
i honestly cant even begin to guess what app is causing this
Felix you change your name too often
I change others too now
Ask 343
💀
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
My initial thought was no, but always double check if you can
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
yeah fresh stick
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
Your videos will be your most powerful friend
Spare no details
alright thanks
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
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
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
Ah yep
Ok yep that's either monitor or gpu
Just check another monitor any will do
alr
Same symptoms? Rma the gpu
Sounds like a dying vram chip
Take videos of all of it
Including packing and sending it
kinda sad cause its 2 years old and always like 60 celsius and no load lol
6600s are nice cards I owned one lol
yeah 1080p and no issues on new titles on high
Hell yeah
Nvidia locked their voltage control didn't they
what if I still wanna undervolt
do I need to buy and solder a couple of stuff
Am in Brazil.
Ur in the shadow realm?
No. Instead I am in Sao Paulo
I only use Uber
Ik
Don't worry. I've been in worse countries
Anyway I'm hungry
Like florida
Damn wtf
WHAT
the "it ain't much but it's honest work" guy passed in 2023 from a car accident while picking up corn seeds
rip
Sounds about right
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)
6700xt, 3080
Are you in the US?
eu
Are you fine with used?
yeah but the market here probably isnt gonna be a lot better than new lol
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
3080 seems to be going for around 400 nowadays?
If not, 2070/super, 5700/xt, 1080 ti, 6600, 6600xt, 6650xt, or 7600
is a b570 an option lol? found one new for 250$
B570 is kind of a neutered b580
What country are you in?
Never buy a 4060
romania
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
whats the cheapest new card i could get for more than 8gb vram
Slap the chart in here
7700xt honestly
If b580 isn't in stock
7600xt is hot garbage
You could wait for a b580 restock
is intel fine with drivers and issues now? i heard a lot of bad stuff at launch and performance related problems
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
will it offer better raytracing performance at that price range compared to amd?
They’re great in newer games, but you’ll have some issues in older games.
No gpu at this price bracket will handle ray tracing
Unless you find the godliest priced 4070
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
Can you bargain with the 7700xt guy? Or is it store?
nah he says final price
i mean its probably a bad price for US standards but here it seems alright
Damn how will I find ray now?
If Bacca thinks that’s a decent price, I’d take it anyways.
@sweet phoenix how we feelin
id say 6800 or 7700xt. I just scooped up a 3080FE for 450, not sure what your budget looks like
alr ill probably go with that
Pretty big upgrade from the 6600 too
@nocturne merlin 3080 Refurbs are only like 380 and offer a bit more performance than the 7700xt
He’s in Romania
I dunno if i would fully reccoment that route though. Ah
3080 is gonna be $400-450 for him
yeah the TIs are quite a jump up in price
nvidia prices here are so goofy, only amd and intel seem to be a good option for some reason
7700xt is a bit better than a 3070 but has more vram
@nocturne merlin take that 7700xt when you can then
alr
what are you upgrading from?
6600
that should be a nice bump
Man’s upgrading from a better gpu than I have 
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
Id personally grab the ram.
But that’s cuz load times don’t bother me.
I bought an SSD last year and dont know how i managed without it for so long
i mean rn im rocking my old 750 ti until im buying the new gpu and honestly its not even that bad, it can do 144 hz with hdmi and im getting 100 fps on cs2 albeit 4:3 stretched
4;3 stretched hurts
ive been using it for cs since 2013 so now i feel like exploding when i see 16:9 lol
only with cs though
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.
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
I use 105 fov on d2
That’s about as high as any of my games get
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
I used an $8 anti-sag stick from Amazon for my heavy old 1080.
If it sags, just grab something cheap and effective.
could sagging slightly realistically cause anything or is it just to be safe
even my 2 fan card deviates a bit
It can damage the bracket and motherboard, so it’s best to not let it sag.
alr
with latest DLSS, latest ray reconstruction, latest framegen, 2x framegen, & full PT with maxxed out everything except motion blur (heck motion blur), I was getting ~150fps in Indiana Jones at 4k in ultra performance mode. I forced updates on dlss, ray reconstruction, & frame gen with dlss-swapper
I should try it without frame gen at native so I can cry & want a 5090 lol
how could they only put 1x 12vhpwr on this thing? https://videocardz.com/newz/galax-rtx-5090-hof-oc-lab-features-38-power-phase-design-room-for-two-16-pin-power-connectors
GALAX HOF LC LAB on GB202 GPU GALAX already announced its HOF (Hall of Fame) Series but the RTX 5090 card was not included until now. The high-end overclocking design known as HOF, GALAX’s most enthusiast-oriented series, will soon be available with the GB202 GPU. The card is seemingly based on the RTX 5090 SKU […]
they even have a spot for another one lol
ig nvidia was like, "No! you will burn cables like the rest of us dammit!"
That was the first thing I said lol
so how many 9070s are you getting?
I'm definitely getting one at some point
I kinda want a B580 just to mess with it lol
If I can resolve my chaotic bank account in the next few days then I'll even preorder
Already done that, not worth
Too buggy still
Lol
if they drop a 32 CU version, maaaybe I'll hit that up
not for daily or anything just for beating on ig
sounds kinda wasteful saying it
do any games scale with crossfire or do they not even do that anymore? lol
They have centres you can go to for breaking stuff if you need it
Lmfao
Crossfire been dead since rdna 2
but those don't give you hwboints
imagine if we got the signature of all like 60 authors of the bible
ngl I know nothing about AMD GPUs
It shows 😂
Here's a quick tutorial Gary
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
Radeon OC is just Ryzen OC but gpu
ya but at least I get voltage control
Literally
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
Lol
#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
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
The coils on this gpu whine like I said I won't buy it any vbucks
Do you have rebar enabled in system BIOS?
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
@mortal grail is it true that you eat powderized children in aussie land
Ah okay. Latest BIOS btw? Or at least not really old ones. Which board/cpu btw?
r5 5600x b550 aorus elite v2 rev 1.4
yeah bios is pretty recent but probably not latest
That should be fine as long as they're not really old. Hmm
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
Normal for ryzen
It’s awful with slow ram
Needs fast ram for the infinity fabric
if 3600 ram were 20% more expensive than 3200 is it still worth it
well is the performance that much better is the question
Eh it’s slightly better
Yo chat wsup with 9070xt?
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
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

you don't have an XMP profile you can use?
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
sup weggs
heck 2667 is rough
idk if its safe to overvolt or whatever else you can do to ram but people told me i might fry my imc or mb if i dont know what im doing
got my ram speed back yo
I think JEDEC spec is like 2333
no more 3000M/T
good lol
get some DJR DR & run like 5333 G2 lol
Real 1n based
^^^
2667 memory probably isn't worth the effort overclocking it would take tbh
Is rebar off by default?
Dont think i’ve ever turned it on in bios
Hah
Watch yo language man
anyhow if im going to buy ram does the brand matter? i know there's 3 manufacturers but people talk trash about some patriot stuff and vengeance so idk what to buy
no kidding? https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-leads-over-non-xt-model-in-china-preorders
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
if the 9070 was like $450 it would've sold like crazy
WHOA WTF?
damn that is pretty cheap
I wonder if your tREFI is too tight or tight enough to give you issues sometimes... hmm tWR/tRTP kinda loose but good job lol
4400c19-26-26-46 is probably DJR
though going 32gb > 32gb now is not what i had in mind, if you can find 64gb for under $100 (something real nice id consider)
thanks
I don't think I've seen bdie XMPs like that except older ones
my DR 4400c19 DJR is 19-26-26-46
Its likely a 7900xt and xtx situation they let the sales of the xtx go on for a year and in the next significantly dropped the price of the 7900xt
yep, this is sad
It's possible that SAM/rebar is hurt by memory speed but I'm not entirely sure there ngl
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
thats an interesting strategy
So they’re likely gonna grab the deal they think is best
Similar to the 6800xt and 6800 non xt and xtx and 7900xt
those cards rose in popularity due to their lowered prices
"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."
And the 9070 is sure to as well unless nvidia’s 5070 super refresh next year somehow ends up being the better deal but they cant exactly make that card significantly better than the 5070ti so nvidia is stuck
Amd really thought abt this
It was pretty easy tbh
they hired someone big brained
dlss-swapper is pretty cool
Or they have another option which felix seems to think is once the 5070 independent reviews drop again drop the price on the non xt card immediately right next month
I got about 150fps at 4k with latest DLSS, framegen, & ray reconstruction with DLSS Ultra Performance
Nvidia as a whole is basically on fire in the worst possible way at the moment, deservingly so, its not real hard to steer clear of that as another company and not make the same mistake
They have a crapton of options to undercut nvidia this year
this was in Indiana Jones with PT/RT 100% & every setting but motion blur on max
AMD would like to do it but finally they decided not to
lol
lol gamers just get the scraps from their AI stuff
AI is their cash cow so their attitude is probably, "do as little as possible as long as we can say we did something."
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
who cares about selling a $2k 5090 when you have a backlog of orders that want $80k datacenter stuff
ya but it's easy to overcome this when consumers don't really have any meaningful alternative
See and idk why people are so mad about the 50 series generational uplift, its almost irrelevant if you arent upgrading every cycle
Yes it sucks, but still
lol probably cuz it's like for every 1% gain from last gen it's $10 higher msrp
that & all the smoke & mirrors with framegen 4x
"RTX6090, now with 24x frame gen" 6x faster than 5090 wow
Yup both companies are very invested in ai rn amd unveiled their “gaming” apus which coincidentally have the ability to assign a copius amt of basically vram to the igpu and guess what a pc company recently unveiled
heckin math
I like how AMD didn’t really focus on AI lol
AI is completely irrelevant for a majority of its base
This hardware is just expensive enough for a regular consumer to not se much value in it but for businesses looking to get hardware for machine learning and llms its a damn great effing deal
Most of which can be assigned to the igpu as vram
They’ve tried
it didn’t end well
I can imagine
Cuz if u look at dgpu alternatives
They would do the same as nvidia if they could
Its gonna get expensive af
I mean... if you're a company & you can make $1 billion selling GPUs to a million people or $5 billion selling whatever to 5 people, the choice is obvious cuz fiduciary duty to shareholders & stuff
WAHOOOO
But man we really went from gpu crypto mining rigs to ml farm rigs
Corporate priorities:
- Shareholders
- Shareholders
- Shareholders
- Shareholders
- Shareholders
- Shareholders
- Shareholders
- Shareholders
- Keeping customers just happy enough at the lowest cost so they buy stuff so Shareholders are happy
- Employee well-being so they design & make stuff at lowest cost so customers will buy & make shareholders happy
Man
Palit isn't that bad cards but price sux lol
Omg
Guess what guess what
Sapphire nitro+ 6700 xt $260
I bought 2 PS2s from goodwill and both of them seem to be working perfectly
Is this a cop
used?
One of them came with this free game
damn
lol I use PS2s to keep my son's computer off the floor
tony hawk
Yea
LMAOO
260 is crazy
they're strong little heckers
yes now I’m definitely gonna get a case for this game then sell the game on whatnot
And then imma sell BOTH of these PS2s on eBay
This might be a cop bro not kidding
I just need to get 2 video cables and a DualShock 2
does look lower than average on ebay
Fr
I have a bunch of Resident Evil games for PS2 still
Can sell my 6600 for like 150 or 160
PS2 only slightly worse than Nintendo Switch graphics tbh

that meme is annoying
Ps2 is truly old
try looking at a Unreal 4 game where the texture streaming hasn't kicked in yet
that actually looks PS2 quality
What is
Or that monster Hunter game
lol yea

if the textures are botched well its gonna look like some 3d game from 1995
Switch being bad. There are no bad consoles, there are bad engines and bad coders.

fact
Gt7 can run 1080p 60 on the ps4 despite it looking the way it does
And you can still take really good scape picture with it
That game engine runs like garbage when dealing with Open World (dragon's dogma 2)
they either need to quit using the RE engine for that or create something entirely new
The juices gonna drip into the heatsink like a grille
he should try this with a 5090 for the ultimate cookout

I loved DD1. I got DD2 on PS5 and not feeling it at all.
oof
and I'm someone who can deal with frame drops, it happened on NES often. But DD2 just feels like crap.
Yeah the new one is doodoo
TIL there are seedless lemons
genetics do some thangs ye
Might as well get an atx 3.1 PSU
Any decent ones for under $200 and 10 year warranty?
literally the first result
Lol they’re desperate
it should be $5
and even if it was people would still feel bored
havent played it but the only cool thing i liked was the bx droid with the cape lol
Guys should i get dredge
Better or worse than starfield?
Worse
Damn
I'm wondering
Speaking of Stanfield, have they made it better at all?
Iirc it runs a bit better now
Ok if both are doodoo one cannot be less doodoo than the other cuz in the end they’re both doodoo
Nah there are scales of doodoo
What's the most powerful GPU that's still not like demanding a powerful CPU (like X3D)
Play 4k then 5090
That’s a tough question

80 class cards prolly
Yeah probably any card except for a 4090 or 5090
