[craggy shoal]

I got hungry

[rancid juniper]

[rough zinc]

Chips are tasty

[hoary zodiac]

If y'all don't hear from me for the next couple of days

Alfred probably killed the power and my 5G signal

[craggy shoal]

Yeah what's up

Oh that’s me

Bruh I’m tired

[hoary zodiac]

Anyways gotta get some sleep

[rancid juniper]

"That's me, you're probably wondering how i got into this situation"

-Motor

[hoary zodiac]

I have a feeling I'm gonna be woken up at 7am whether I like it or not

[fresh timber]

Let me curse so I can ask who Alfred is

[hoary zodiac]

Probably by that bastard Alfred

[coral sparrow]

anyone else gettin this one? how good is this? also does anyone know if its a 12vhpwr cable gpu?

[rancid juniper]

only ones that are using it is that Sapphire BRICK

[coral sparrow]

gotchu

so avoid that right

[craggy shoal]

Why is it BLACK? 😭

[rancid juniper]

yea

[rancid juniper]

🤨

[coral sparrow]

...

[rancid juniper]

hehehehhehe

[hoary zodiac]

Clip that

[craggy shoal]

The 9070 XT is cheap enough to the point that a white tax makes sense lol

[hoary zodiac]

Chat clip that

[craggy shoal]

(Guys I meant that I'd prefer it in white lol)

[hoary zodiac]

I did not just say that

[rancid juniper]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[coral sparrow]

guys, how would you rank the current 9070xt brands so far? based on performance/temps?

[hoary zodiac]

Turns out sleep deprivation leads to brainrot

[rancid juniper]

pretty dang good, power consumption is wack tho

[hoary zodiac]

gonna sleep fr now

[coral sparrow]

o

[small ridge]

Oo ok ty

[coral sparrow]

850w psu good enough?

[rancid juniper]

like they shrink the node and everything and it still sucks like there's no tomorrow

[rancid juniper]

yuh

[coral sparrow]

nice

ppl recommended me to just go with the cheapest one

[rancid juniper]

3 fans minimum if you can go for it

[craggy shoal]

Don't mention this to the average PC guy but RAM is technically L4 memory (if that helps you better understand). You may get yelled at if you said that to a techie here lol

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I just said that lol

[dusk knot]

L

[rancid juniper]

average tech robbery:

[wise wigeon]

Ain’t no pay man justifying 80-150 white tax

[craggy shoal]

Okay not THAT much white tax

Like ~$50

[small ridge]

Got it lol

[rancid juniper]

ASUS and NZXT:

[wise wigeon]

Taichi

[rancid juniper]

Taichi Spicy

[wicked oriole]

what time do 9070 xt's come out?

[rancid juniper]

🔥

[wise wigeon]

15 minutes

[rancid juniper]

fr?

[wicked oriole]

lil bro getting a whole new build

i think it would be a great replacement for his 1660 ti???

[craggy shoal]

GUYS BE PREPARED FOR ILL-PREPARED DRIVERS WHEN GETTING YOUR 9070 (XT) WITHON THE FIRST MONTH

[rancid juniper]

the white tax is real

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo

[wicked oriole]

BUT THEY'RE THE BEST THEY SAID lol

[craggy shoal]

Okay I won't be paying that much white tax 😭

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[craggy shoal]

But I want WHITE

[rancid juniper]

i gotchu

[craggy shoal]

(Won't be getting it though because):
#cars message

[craggy shoal]

White + RGB tax is wild

[fresh timber]

Stand for my arrival worm

[wicked oriole]

are these still gonna get scalped hard lol

[fresh timber]

Nah

Plenty of stick at micro center

We good

And by we I mean me

Losers

[wicked oriole]

yeah i cant make the trip today 😦

[rancid juniper]

+3fps

[wicked oriole]

maybe i can get there by saturday

car is in shop 😦

[craggy shoal]

Yo now that I think about it, which processor handles the RGB on the GPU? No way that's the GPU, right? I know that Armoury Crate (running on the CPU) handles the RGB on my 4070 Super

[tight agate]

10 minutes

[craggy shoal]

My 'tism thought for the morning

[wicked oriole]

i want to delete armoury crate so bad lmao

[craggy shoal]

Same

[wise wigeon]

there is a +70, +150, +250

[craggy shoal]

I actually wanna smart-home it and have some controller controlling my RGB via an app on my phone. Just basically have no processor in my computer handling it for the best performance

[wicked oriole]

besides white tax im assuming those are also the OC profile pricing hikes

[wise wigeon]

not big enough to justify

[craggy shoal]

Still comes out cheaper than Nvidia's equivalent, despite the highest price 9070 XT

[wicked oriole]

very valid. although i will say the max oc does look impressive, but not $200+ impressive lol

[craggy shoal]

The OC variants are probably only like 50-100 MHz lol

[wicked oriole]

if i remember correctly its like 200mhz for top end

[wise wigeon]

The merc up charge for the 7900xtx was only $100

[wicked oriole]

i think stock is 2700, and the max oc is like 3000mhz

[wise wigeon]

This this is bullcrap

[fresh timber]

I have cool idea

Dedicated chip that handles rgb, all you do is change the config to how you like and everything is offloaded

[wise wigeon]

Is it still not up for Newegg?

Well it’s pulse, swift or reaper for me lads

[coral sparrow]

guys, does Newegg have a queue system like Best Buy or nah

[wise wigeon]

No

[coral sparrow]

welp

[wise wigeon]

Yep

https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1j4u8ui/retailer_confirms_radeon_rx_9070_msrp_only/

so it was just a MSRP publicity stunt

[coral sparrow]

damn

[wise wigeon]

soooooo

fake MSRP

[coral sparrow]

so its free for all right now in 4 mins

[fresh timber]

Microcenter seems fine

Lllll

[coral sparrow]

...

good one right there

(they're still damn building it near me in santa clara)

(late 2024 my ass)

[wise wigeon]

as in after the first batch its gonna jump to higher prices

for everyone

[fresh timber]

So buy the first batch

Easy

[coral sparrow]

So right now, launch date gpus are gonna be the cheapest ones?

[wise wigeon]

7900xtx hellhound for 900 on amazon rn

[wicked oriole]

idk bro, they keep marking up cards it seems like as the weeks go on

[devout forum]

There is a 3100 boost clock 9070 XT

If memory serves me right

[wise wigeon]

multiple

[devout forum]

Oh rly?

[wicked oriole]

i thought it was around there

[devout forum]

I only remembered one

Most are 3060 boost for high-end

[wicked oriole]

i saw a jank spreadsheet in a youtube video lol

[devout forum]

But like 40mhz really isn't a huge difference

[wise wigeon]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-9070-xt.c4229

like over 10

[wicked oriole]

its for my lil bro, the one on best buy would be perfect

2970 mhz is more than what my 4080s can do lmao

dang pny locking voltage is my problem

[devout forum]

Clock speed alone is pretty much meaningless to compare GPUs tho

[coral sparrow]

ppl say u can just OC the regular models to be better than the OC models, true?

[wicked oriole]

valid

[wise wigeon]

2970 base clock lol so just OC it yourself

[wise wigeon]

its just a power delivery issue

[devout forum]

Technically higher end models are binned to have better cores

[unreal trail]

[coral sparrow]

i see

[devout forum]

So IN THEORY you'd be able to OC more, especially with beefier power delivery

[wise wigeon]

no guaruntee

[devout forum]

But it's always a lottery what you end up with

It's only guaranteed to do what's the spec

Any OC is random kind of

[wise wigeon]

Xfx was the ones with binned chipped

[rancid juniper]

Someone check Radeon stock now in the U.S please

[tight agate]

Wheer is it6

[devout forum]

Oh it's release time?

Like actually THE moment?

[wise wigeon]

its not instant

now

[tight agate]

Yes

[fresh timber]

The most I got is micro center and it seems plentiful

[wise wigeon]

NOW

[rancid juniper]

9 AM EST

[wise wigeon]

BB MSRP

[rancid juniper]

So now

[tight agate]

Still have nothing

[wise wigeon]

NOW

[rancid juniper]

Nice

[devout forum]

Yup

Nothing

As expected

Average Eastern European tech launch

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

[opaque sedge]

That sub is either very optimistic or very depressed

[devout forum]

2 weeks lead time lol

[wicked oriole]

brother

i cannot buy anything on best buy

[devout forum]

I guess it's only gonna be on sale later then

[wicked oriole]

so purchasing a gpu in 2025 is actually impossible

[rancid juniper]

Did it label as coming soon or sold out?

[fierce grove]

bro

[wise wigeon]

sites are dying

[fierce grove]

it sold out

already

what the hell

first minute

[rancid juniper]

Bruh OH NO NOT AGAIN

[fierce grove]

im actually gonna lose it

[rancid juniper]

😭

[fierce grove]

first minute

[wicked oriole]

i was adding it to my cart, and opened a neww tab to sold out.

[rancid juniper]

Quick go to bhphoto, Newegg

[signal fog]

Sigh, not a single 9070xt under 600

[tight agate]

Nothing on newegg

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[wicked oriole]

its so cooked

[fresh timber]

Stand ready for my arrival worm

[rancid juniper]

PC gaming is so ass rn

Holy crap

[devout forum]

I mean

A thousand GPUs

Ain't that much

[fierce grove]

bruh

[wicked oriole]

is there a way we can form a class action lawsuit

[devout forum]

Wasn't that what Micro Center said they have?

[wise wigeon]

its in my cart but no dice on gettin through checkout

[devout forum]

I think it might be sites getting overloaded

[rancid juniper]

Best case scenario

[dusk knot]

AMD....rip

Seems no company is big enough to stop shortages

And website crashes

[tight agate]

Mercury is out on mobile

[wicked oriole]

lil bro is not getting a new computer now.

[tight agate]

Taichi also out

[fierce grove]

chat there’s no way to get the pulse?

[wise wigeon]

hmm i can check out aorus

[wicked oriole]

this is disgusting

why is this acceptable lol

[rancid juniper]

Gpus shouldn't be this rare commodity item for computers bro

[tight agate]

nothign yet

[rancid juniper]

This is dumb af

[wicked oriole]

seriously

and its the most important part

arguablly

[pliant berry]

Nah who needs gpu anyway

[wise wigeon]

no im at checkout

[devout forum]

I think it's just

AMD underestimated actual demand for affordable GPUs

[fresh timber]

We have marvel rivals we will survive

[devout forum]

Hopefully more cards exist just need to be delivered

[wicked oriole]

amd underestimated demand in general

[rancid juniper]

Honestly who TF is their business/logistics team?

[wicked oriole]

nvidia didnt even attempt

[devout forum]

Remember
AMD has no market share and they haven't actually been properly competing in a long time

[wise wigeon]

hmm do i roll the dice for a AORUS or a nitro plus

[devout forum]

They legit forgot how to win at this point

[wicked oriole]

gpu's will be available by next release then re use dies again and screw everyone over

[pliant berry]

Is it really fair to say they underestimated demand though? Literally every single gpu launch the past year or 2 has had stock and/or scalping issues

[devout forum]

IDK what's going on ngl

[wise wigeon]

16 pin is 16 pin but I was prepared to go nvidia so its not that big a deal

[tight agate]

Bro, it not out on Canada

[rancid juniper]

Bro went back to the flames of disaster

[wicked oriole]

b&h has them all over $900 disgusting

im so out

[pliant berry]

Lol

[tight agate]

Wtf

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO

[wise wigeon]

it was alway between the 70 ti and xt for me recently

[tight agate]

Yeah, gonna be a pass

[devout forum]

Used 4080 looking better by the second NGL

[pliant berry]

Bruh no way that’s first party

And sold out no less

[wise wigeon]

cad

[pliant berry]

Oh

What’s the conversion on cad

[wise wigeon]

not good lol

[pliant berry]

Wait isn’t that still like significantly higher than msrp

[wise wigeon]

yeah

saphire is 180 over

[rancid juniper]

Lol I give up, AMD just send me those new drivers

[wise wigeon]

for the nitro

[wicked oriole]

my micro center has a lot i hope theyre still there on saturday

[wise wigeon]

im in check out rn

[fierce grove]

anyway to buy any model rn???

[fierce grove]

im actually shaking r

[rancid juniper]

Buy

[fierce grove]

LOL

[wise wigeon]

so idk if i wanna gofor aorus or nitro plus

[pliant berry]

At this point I don’t think its gamers buying these gpus, it’s probably just all scalpers buying and selling from each other like stocks

[wicked oriole]

from a scalper by the looks of it. or a pre built

[rancid juniper]

The longer you decide the lesser you buy

[wise wigeon]

on one hand i'm not averse to the 16 pin like too many people

[rancid juniper]

Go go go

[wicked oriole]

i know but my good car i can go places in is in the shop until saturday by the looks of things

[wise wigeon]

i trust saphire but its also a brick

about a 10 doller diff

rgb strip merc s 800

which is the binned chip

[tight agate]

My pc is going to stay another month in pieces I guess

[wicked oriole]

do i roll the dice on a$1400 4090 untested lmao

[wise wigeon]

sapphire confirmed PTM though

[fierce grove]

yep nobody’s gonna get the 9070 XT

[wise wigeon]

i mean i can get one

its just not msrp

[mortal grail]

THAT WAS HELL

I got a pulse tho

[tight agate]

Bruh

[pliant berry]

I probably wouldn’t pay 1400 for 4090

[wise wigeon]

i did not

only the big boys left

[mortal grail]

I was trying so hard the website kept crashing man

[tight agate]

My pc is going to stay another month in pieces I guess

[mortal grail]

I picked what I could

[pliant berry]

Ill buy it from you.. 200usd please

[mortal grail]

You can buy my 6900 nitro if you want

No cap

[tight agate]

You still sell Graphics cards?

[pliant berry]

100usd

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail oi aorus, mer, or nitro

[tight agate]

1000 CAD

[prime sparrow]

I love how there isn't a single card between the $600 MSRP and $700

[fresh timber]

Victim

[wise wigeon]

mhmm

[fierce grove]

HOWWW

[wise wigeon]

i mean i told ya'll this

that there was no reason for them to not just make a bunch of the bigger margin cards

[prime sparrow]

greedy bastards 😦

[pliant berry]

I would love to know what the problem is though. If it’s a manufacturing constraint or whatever

[idle flax]

I got a gigabyte!

[worthy meteor]

It's a shame but at least there's stock in general this time around

[wicked oriole]

anyone know anything about consumer electronics auctions and why a 4090 would end up at one?

[wise wigeon]

oi felix help me out

[idle flax]

Best Buy sold us out though

[mortal grail]

Mer

[wise wigeon]

for 20 more?

[mortal grail]

Yes

Wait

770?

No

[wise wigeon]

exactly

[mortal grail]

Thought you meant 620

Rofl

[wise wigeon]

i mean still heck of a lot cheaper than my XTX

[mortal grail]

GOD I'M SO FREAKING GLAD I GOT A SHORT CARD WTF

I thought I'd lost all chances of a north pc

[mortal grail]

Is tbh

[fierce grove]

nah cuz actually how did you get one, i camped immediately when it was 9

wtf

i need it

[idle flax]

Yeah I had a 3080 I bought for 1600$ during the shortage lmfao but 1440p ultrawide is struggling so hard

[wise wigeon]

still 720 and 730 cards

[idle flax]

So glad I got the gigabyte 9070xt!!

[wise wigeon]

no 600 ones though

[fierce grove]

send me pls

[coral sparrow]

everything out ot stock immediately for me. so gg. will they be restocking 600 msrp later on or nah (doubt)

[mortal grail]

Nice we can test the cards together

[mortal grail]

That's what we aren't sure about

[idle flax]

Is it a good upgrade from a 3080?

[worthy meteor]

I took a little too long putting in address to grab the 600 card soo

[mortal grail]

About 50%

[idle flax]

I only had a 10 gig EVGA 3080

[mortal grail]

Yeah 50% from evga 3080

[worthy meteor]

unlikely with how best buy is doing the 'promotion' thing

[idle flax]

Oh hell yeah I’m good with 1.5x better haha cause I have to run low settings on everything I play at 3440x1440

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail its a toss up of aorus, nitro, merc at this point 760, 780, 800

[unreal trail]

[coral sparrow]

Wait guys no Powercolor gpus yet right? i still have a chance (but are they doin 600 msrp)?

[wise wigeon]

nope its gone

[mortal grail]

If you wanna save on the xtx tbh all three aren't bad

[coral sparrow]

so its ggs

[worthy meteor]

already sold out

[idle flax]

Yeah I paid 800 tax plus next day shipping xD

[mortal grail]

Gone first minutes

[coral sparrow]

didnt even see that

[worthy meteor]

I tried to grab one first minute

[idle flax]

Told my wife it was 600$ LMFAO

[coral sparrow]

for some reason

[tight agate]

Alright my current situation is has follow:

• Got no 9070 XT in stocks
• Got no 7900 XTX in stocks
• I got parts of a pc that will never be build due to a missing graphic card.

My options:

1. Sell what I currently have.
2. Go buy a card for a to much expensive price
3. Wait.... For another month.

[mortal grail]

Beebir dm if you want

[idle flax]

Want to buy my 3080? Lmfao

[icy ore]

Don’t let her see the account

[wise wigeon]

ahahahaa

[mortal grail]

Sadly pulse btw wasn't msrp here but it was close

[rancid juniper]

Average Joke launch

[mortal grail]

Reaper was the only one

Sold instantly

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail ima need some help man

[mortal grail]

Merc

[rancid juniper]

Ever since RTX 30 series these damn cards are near unobtainable

[icy ore]

Didn’t amd say they had plenty of stock

[mortal grail]

Like seriously merc is the best of those 3

[wise wigeon]

for 40 over the sorus?

[mortal grail]

Yes

[idle flax]

Yeah @rancid juniper they lowkey scamming, bestbuy had some Korean dude in FaceTime saying “yes you can go ahead and buy all of our 10 thousand cards”

[pliant berry]

Gpu gacha

[rancid juniper]

Underestimation + lies

[idle flax]

And setup their web server to pretend there’s stock

[mortal grail]

For 760 it's meh but it's better than 1K xtx

[pliant berry]

The thrill of gambling

[mortal grail]

You're getting almost a 5070 Ti @wise wigeon

[rancid juniper]

Just to build up that hype

[worthy meteor]

launch went better than 5070/tis tbf

[idle flax]

Yeah I was up for a upgrade no matter what

[icy ore]

Damn scalpers man

[mortal grail]

It's a bit oof

But it's still not terrible

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail 800 merc aint even magnetic smh

[tight agate]

Wait that good?

[worthy meteor]

almost half an hour later and there's still cards at aib prices at least

[rancid juniper]

They should be sentenced to 10 years of league bruh

[mortal grail]

They had way more stock than any 50 series

[mortal grail]

Usd?

No

Cad yes

[icy ore]

[tight agate]

In cnada

[wise wigeon]

not cad lol

[tight agate]

Canada

[mortal grail]

Yes

Canada go go go

[lament tendon]

it didn't save my shipping preference, wanted next day but its on free delivery and not here til 12th 😦

[wise wigeon]

no way

[tight agate]

Omg

[rancid juniper]

And it's all gone so soon 😭

[mortal grail]

GOOOO

NYOOM

[idle flax]

So happy now that I don’t have to run low settings on every game I play haha

[pliant berry]

Better than nothing

[fierce grove]

@mortal grail I GOT MY HANDS ON THE ASUS PRIME

is it any good?

[idle flax]

My 3080 10 Gb was struggling super hard with 3440x1440p

[mortal grail]

Perfectly fine if under 650

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail maybe i be the experiment and get mr 16 pin

[icy ore]

3080 shouldn’t be struggling at 1440p lol

[mortal grail]

You may if you wish

Merc beats nitro tho

[idle flax]

You’d be surprised

[pliant berry]

I want to upgrade to 4k or 5k but I ain’t buying no 5090

[fierce grove]

it wasn’t under 650, but i mean just specs wise, the pins, the noise, allat, is it fine?

[wise wigeon]

kind of curios ngl

[icy ore]

I wouldn’t because I also play at 1440p with 10gb 3080

[mortal grail]

It's ok

[rancid juniper]

It's probably that low vram if you account for the higher width than 2560

[wise wigeon]

its fine

[fierce grove]

BETTT

SO IM GOOD?

[wise wigeon]

it was like 720

[idle flax]

50-80 fps on most games with the 3080 for me 3440x1440 low / mid settings

[mortal grail]

That's...ok

[fierce grove]

YOOOO

[mortal grail]

Like barely

[fierce grove]

LOLLLSHHAHSJDBSBWNWN

[icy ore]

I mean yeah you can’t play everything on super max settings but yeah

[low mauve]

howdy all

[icy ore]

What cpu you rocking?

[coral sparrow]

still in stock, which one best u guys think?

[rancid juniper]

Horrid prices

[coral sparrow]

Gigabyte, asrock, powercolor

[rancid juniper]

[idle flax]

Just upgraded to a ryzen 7 9700x but before it was a ryzen 9 5900x

[coral sparrow]

scam?

should i wait

for 600

[wise wigeon]

cheapest one if you dont care about stuff

[coral sparrow]

idk

[mortal grail]

Cheapest but over 720 is a bit much I feel

[wise wigeon]

not happening

[mortal grail]

And taichi is a bit yikes

[coral sparrow]

welp

[idle flax]

Yeah I was over due for a upgrade I bought this card in release so it was kinda old already tbh

[icy ore]

Gotcha gotcha. Yeah it’s not uncommon for me to get around 50-80 as well, when you said struggling I thought you meant like 20 lol

Imma wait till next gen

[rancid juniper]

The release price is already old too

[low mauve]

The fact that ASRock's 9070XT was $599 and their 9070 is $640... i think that MSRP was a "special first 15 seconds pricing" that will be like $750 tomorrow

[rancid juniper]

Got them upping it

[idle flax]

Oh nah I just want to actually use my monitors refresh wait haha

[rancid juniper]

Lmfao

[idle flax]

Bro I paid 1600 almost for this 3080

[wise wigeon]

hah

bundle croping up

[idle flax]

When they were selling for like 1400-2000 for the whole shortage

[wise wigeon]

9070xt + 9700x

[icy ore]

I actually got my 3080 for msrp when they first came out

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-black-guy-shocked-gif-27437284

[icy ore]

Unfortunately that was before they announced 3080 12gb lol

[idle flax]

Yeah i think I’ll see a good increase in performance I mean very noticeable

Yeah lmfao I was so pissed

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail woops only one it the aorus now

[idle flax]

Aorus sold out too

[rancid juniper]

Heh gl

I spent ages trying to get this or a reaper

[tight agate]

I got it

[mortal grail]

YOOOOO

[icy ore]

Nice

[low mauve]

[idle flax]

Yeah I think of it like this 800$ divided by 5 years cause that’s how long I wait to upgrade

[mortal grail]

WE GOT A LOW PRICE GRAB

[wise wigeon]

meh

[coral sparrow]

what prices are usually the 7900xtx (normally)? i mean i got a $729 gigabyte 9070xt so probs i could wait and see if there are better ones for the budget

[worthy meteor]

I'm really sad I couldn't get a reaper

[rancid juniper]

Buys $900 9070xt

[low mauve]

does newegg hold in cart??? or if its sold out theres just nothin left

[tight agate]

It not a XT but it will manage

[worthy meteor]

No holding

[unreal trail]

[rancid juniper]

[fierce grove]

[icy ore]

Remember when we crashed nvidias website for like a week straight because of 3xxx series launch

[worthy meteor]

I didn't realize Asus Prime 9070xt took 3 8 pins lol

I grabbed it at first and had to cancel

[fierce grove]

is 3 8 pins good and won’t melt?

[idle flax]

Oh yeah peoples wives are saying no and making them send it back

[mortal grail]

Yeah it's a weird af card

[worthy meteor]

More than enough

[idle flax]

What’s wrong with 3 8 pins

[fierce grove]

there’s nothing wrong with 3 8 pins?

[idle flax]

My 3080 has three haha

[rancid juniper]

Power sucker

[wise wigeon]

maybe it'll be a no coil whine card

[worthy meteor]

I'm just limited to 2 8 pins off my PSU lol

[rancid juniper]

Oh my bruh

[idle flax]

[icy ore]

[rancid juniper]

[mortal grail]

Master?

[wise wigeon]

nah gaming oc

[mortal grail]

[wise wigeon]

[mortal grail]

[idle flax]

Gaming boost 2510 MHz good?

[fierce grove]

[mortal grail]

Oh thank god

[worthy meteor]

Ye

[wise wigeon]

[mortal grail]

Lmfao

So pre tax would be like 720 or 700

That's ok

[wise wigeon]

730

yeah

[mortal grail]

That's still ok considering

2% less a 5070 ti

[wise wigeon]

eh i kinda considered aorus because i like aorus stuff but

[idle flax]

!!

[mortal grail]

Wait head count

[wise wigeon]

well have to see before I send back the XTX

[idle flax]

I work 2045-0500 Friday sat sunday tho sad

[wise wigeon]

pretty sure the msrp counts for microcenter werent crazy either

[fierce grove]

3 8 pins are fine right?

[idle flax]

[fierce grove]

this is probably the most exciting gpu launch

like ever

[wise wigeon]

why do you think i'm holding onto the XTX

[wise wigeon]

eh

[fierce grove]

i’d say so

[worthy meteor]

It's time to be an early adopter

[fierce grove]

amd strikes back

[mortal grail]

We be sweatin balls here

[wise wigeon]

almost did the nitro to be a lab rat

[mortal grail]

Pray they work no issues

[worthy meteor]

Lol

[mortal grail]

(They do but Murphy's Law)

[fierce grove]

what’s yall thoughts on the taichi model or the nitro+ model

[worthy meteor]

A good sign is that reviews didn't run into problems, unlike how GN already ran into problems in games before 5080 launched lol

[mortal grail]

No touch

[worthy meteor]

But there's so much that could go wrong still

[prime sparrow]

My order of the $720 9070XT just got cancelled for out of stock, WTF newegg???

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail gaming OC 850w rec lol

[fierce grove]

wdym no touch, as in don’t touch them because they are terribl?

[mortal grail]

Only person I heard having issues was hardware canucks

[idle flax]

i got exactly 850 W haha

[mortal grail]

Perfectly fine

[balmy solstice]

rip eggy drop

[worthy meteor]

What'd they run into?

[mortal grail]

12vhpwr pain

[wise wigeon]

[fierce grove]

[idle flax]

bestbu had those GPUs pre sold lmfao

[mortal grail]

JEEZ

[balmy solstice]

????

[fierce grove]

so anything 3 in 8 or 2 in 8 is perfectly fine?

[wise wigeon]

gaming oc length

[mortal grail]

I was glossing videos but they had a section on it

[fierce grove]

we all start somewhere man

[balmy solstice]

works for me

[worthy meteor]

My usual scan of reviewers is just tpu toms hub and GN lol

[wise wigeon]

nah this just means if i downsize cases its easy

[mortal grail]

[fierce grove]

i actually think i got really darn lucky with my 9070 XT

[mortal grail]

It's not about size it's how you use it

[wise wigeon]

you sure it wasnt 720?

[balmy solstice]

and they got msrp 9800x3d's

eggy eggy

[fierce grove]

grand total of $763.19 but if it’s a good gpu it’s a good gpu

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail real poll is how many MSRP cards were got

[balmy solstice]

1

[wise wigeon]

its prob 720 if your tax rate is around 6%

[mortal grail]

I'm wagering like 2 lmao

Not even I got msrp, msrp was lost to bots

[balmy solstice]

apparently only the 9070xt's sold at launch will be msrp

[wise wigeon]

and your pulse wasnt even msrp

[balmy solstice]

and then manufacturers are gonna increase the msrp after

[mortal grail]

Sadly not cos powercolour are the G here

[fierce grove]

yes the axtyal price was 720, did i do good?

9070 XT Entire Stock leaked

[dusk knot]

Hhmmm

[wise wigeon]

frfr

[balmy solstice]

ebay exclusives

[dusk knot]

Just wait 6 months to a year, guys

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail at least the gaming oc is a fat vapor chamber card

[worthy meteor]

I still feel like I was so close to getting a MSRP card, I was stuck on loading for a while :p

[wise wigeon]

nah i was on it right away

it just kept going

[balmy solstice]

hate bots

[fierce grove]

but that’s like, 6 months to a year

[fresh timber]

9070xt is faster than 5080

[fierce grove]

9070 xt is faster than a 4070 ti super btw

[wise wigeon]

hah

[worthy meteor]

I was on it right away too, I had it in cart right away but took me a bit to change address and it was loading for minutes before it was removed from cart

[fresh timber]

I’m not joking btw, but only one 1 benchmark

[wise wigeon]

it just wouldn't let me into checkout

[balmy solstice]

one 1

[wise wigeon]

what cod?

[fresh timber]

Not gaming related at all lol

Wanna see it

[wise wigeon]

not gaming no worry of mine

[balmy solstice]

he put both gpu's on a park bench to see which one would heat up faster

[worthy meteor]

I was in checkout, PayPal done, like I logged into the PayPal popup and it was loading from there

If I was half a minute faster I probably had it

[fresh timber]

Bruh, this is debatably the part that makes AMD money

[dusk knot]

[rancid juniper]

Imagine they try to limit 1 GPU per address + cooldown

Maybe that could stop the scalping issue if only for a bit

[balmy solstice]

that wouldnt make eggy any money

[fresh timber]

I’m okay, I have two addresses

[balmy solstice]

silly

[rancid juniper]

[fierce grove]

before vs previously ahh time difference

[fresh timber]

:)))

[fierce grove]

does newegg have scalper protection?

[fresh timber]

Smokin that 5080 pack

Damn even 9070 is faster

Lollll

[rancid juniper]

Doubt

[craggy shoal]

Wow that's wild

Now what about Ollama and Stable Diffusion?

[wise wigeon]

still 2 merc mags on amazon at $850 lol

[fresh timber]

I don’t have that one

Ask skidaddy

[craggy shoal]

skidaddy lol

[idle flax]

Okay meeting the dude to sell my ryzen 9 5900x today for $200

[fresh timber]

In micro center server lol

[craggy shoal]

[fresh timber]

I’m not joking

[fierce grove]

Amazon still hasn’t released the 9070 XT in case yall maybe wanna try to wait there

[wise wigeon]

it has

[fierce grove]

really?

[wise wigeon]

multiple actually

[fierce grove]

maybe it sold out THAT quick

[wise wigeon]

just sold out

[fierce grove]

LOL

this is insane

[wise wigeon]

people buying 800 dollar TUFs is something

[fierce grove]

they been stocking this since like, last year, and already sold out

[idle flax]

So I got the gpu for $600 haha

[fierce grove]

which one, where, and how quick were you

[wise wigeon]

imagine if this was OG release date

[idle flax]

My $200 cpu sale offset the $800 gigabyte haha

[wise wigeon]

?

wdym

[balmy solstice]

newegg doesnt limit to 1 gpu, but 2

crazy

[idle flax]

I got the 9070 x gigabyte OC for 730 plus tax and overnight shipping , and I’m selling my ryzen 9 5900x for 200$

[fierce grove]

like who tf needs 2 9070 XTS

[rancid juniper]

For launch week they should've limited 1 GPU per address so many others can have a chance

[balmy solstice]

one for me one for ebay

[fierce grove]

so you didn’t get it for $600

[fierce grove]

scalper moment

LOL

[idle flax]

Yes I did haha

[misty sparrow]

Wait, did the 9070xt get sold out?

[worthy meteor]

Funnily enough I'm pretty sure mutahar said they're buying 2 9070xts for their rig lol

[balmy solstice]

they're still on newegg

[rancid juniper]

Either that or dummy high prices already

[fierce grove]

where on gods green earth is there that much tax

[wise wigeon]

buddy

[balmy solstice]

https://www.newegg.com/xfx-quicksilver-rx-97tqickw9-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16gb-gddr6/p/N82E16814150905

[misty sparrow]

Well to be fair if it’s selling why should they care

[fierce grove]

[fierce grove]

[rancid juniper]

Yep...

[idle flax]

Hey that ryzen 9 5900x was paid years ago so it’s resale value went towards my gpu upgrade

[wise wigeon]

hes a linux head

[fierce grove]

can someone teach me like im a monkey what bottlenekcking means and how do i know if its happening

[wise wigeon]

pretty sure at one point he had a 6900xt and 3090 in his rig at the same time

[worthy meteor]

Iirc he's planning on running one in a vm for games and using the second natively on Linux for streaming
https://youtu.be/L2wCgbf1pTk

[wise wigeon]

dont worry about it

[wise wigeon]

wher AMD lied to us vid

[balmy solstice]

its when one or more of your components cant keep up with the rest of your pc causing it to operate slower

[worthy meteor]

Prob 6hrs

[wise wigeon]

👍

[fierce grove]

so essentially the side effects of an unbalanced setup

[balmy solstice]

like, if you have a 1080 and a 9800x3d and you're trying to run 1440p

[wise wigeon]

if you have a reasonable modern cpu youre good

[worthy meteor]

Bottlenecking is very application specific

[fierce grove]

ima get the 9700x

[wise wigeon]

kinda wanna chech the r/radeon mald rn

[wise wigeon]

huh?

[fierce grove]

the cpu

[wise wigeon]

[balmy solstice]

[wise wigeon]

[idle flax]

You’re cooked

[rancid juniper]

Lol check the comments here: https://youtu.be/kBg0OUJLRp8?si=xfuUzKB3QAUK8PeP

[wise wigeon]

[idle flax]

Someone stealing your card lol

[fierce grove]

[idle flax]

haha

[wise wigeon]

you order number man

[fierce grove]

STOP TRYNA SCARE ME

LOL

YO

my heart dropped

[fierce grove]

how’s the actual model i bought tho? i know its way over msrp, but how’s the actual model

[idle flax]

I was gonna get the sapphire n it said it was sold out when I changed my shipping day smh

But I got the gigabyte super hyped

[fierce grove]

should have not changed the date

LOL

[wise wigeon]

gaming oc looks fine

[idle flax]

They’re over bc Oc and cooling

[wise wigeon]

but if 5070tti comes back in stock im gunning for it at a decent price

[idle flax]

Yeah no I hate nvidia now

I also don’t use ray tracing so that selling point isn’t much to me

[wise wigeon]

not gonna condemn AMD for fake MSRP?

see I believe ine equality

[mortal grail]

Nvidia did the same thing but far worse

[idle flax]

Nvidia is selling 5080 for 1500$ ….

[wise wigeon]

idk we knew the games before hand, AMD's is more convoluted

[mortal grail]

And before you say "FE exists" no that applies to maybe 3 countries lol

We have no msrp here

5090 costs 2x my high end 4090

[dusk knot]

Rip pc gaming

[mortal grail]

Fake price nvidia is just as guilty if not worse

[idle flax]

There was 600$ ones on Best Buy I added to cart the bots just stole them

[wise wigeon]

its guilty

[mortal grail]

Same everywhere

[worthy meteor]

AMD fake MSRP really does suck, but Nvidia sucks significantly more

[idle flax]

I was in the line for it

[wise wigeon]

but idk about toting a MSRP that wont stick for even a week

[idle flax]

Bc every single you tuber hyped it

Everyone wanted this card

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/snapcube-eggman-gif-23877695

[wise wigeon]

at least there will eventually be FE cards for some

[worthy meteor]

They should've factored in current conditions and advertised a higher MSRP that fit the conditions and would have more stock

[mortal grail]

I don't see these cards costing min. 750 in a week

Nvidia however

[idle flax]

Gigabytes back in Amazon 729

[mortal grail]

[wise wigeon]

@fierce grove gaming OC 730 amazon

middle of the road

[grim meteor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Newegg/comments/1j4woq2/9070_xt_order_cancelled/

[idle flax]

Gigabyte better?

[lament tendon]

Hellhound or Red Devil

[worthy meteor]

Hellhound fits in smaller cases and is 2x 8 pin, that's the advantage of it

[mortal grail]

The cheapest you find that isn't taichi or nitro

Stop at $720-ish

Higher is meh

[lone mango]

There are some cards that have 3 8 pins and are msrp so thats nice

[wise wigeon]

is there?

[idle flax]

Nitro sold out instant too I wanted it

[lone mango]

The gigabyte card is nice

Has 3

[wise wigeon]

def was not instant

[rancid juniper]

Imagine if the 9070 XT started at $500, it would be even more of a problem in terms of stock

[grim meteor]

SAR DO NOT REDEEM THE ORDER SAR YOU CANNOT BUY THE CARD https://www.reddit.com/r/Newegg/comments/1j4woq2/9070_xt_order_cancelled/

[idle flax]

For me it was

[worthy meteor]

Nitro sat around for a while lol

[idle flax]

Added to cart hit buy n refreshed n sold out

[grim meteor]

SAR WE DO NOT HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO KNOW IF WE CAN DOING THE STOCK SAR

[idle flax]

Was still showing in stock but wouldn’t let me buy

[wise wigeon]

thats why i had time to discuss aorus, merc, nitro

[rancid juniper]

I dunno if I feel bad for someone buying these for $800 and up

That's goofy

[idle flax]

So gaming OC was my choice

[lone mango]

Lol 25+ in stock asus prime

[coral sparrow]

gota $729 9070xt, lets see if its gonna be worth or not in the future.
its equivalent to 5070ti right or so ($749)
how often do they even restock at msrp if so

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/hodl-hodl-meme-hold-hold-meme-rocket-gif-25999710

[idle flax]

Micro center 3 hours from me lol

[lone mango]

Skips the whole cart thing

[lament tendon]

I GOT AN ASUS

[idle flax]

I’ll sell you mine for 200%? Then get bestbuy to also increase their cards 200%

[wise wigeon]

hot stock does add to card

[mortal grail]

Ah man that hurts

Seeing a prime appear for msrp after paying for a pulse
