[rancid juniper]

no use in me selling 7800 XT then buying 9070 XT from microcenter

looks like a sidegrade

[lone mango]

Nah its pretty huge

[opaque sedge]

No effing way

[mortal grail]

That's an upgrade

[lone mango]

Even faster than gre

[mortal grail]

Lolwat

[rancid juniper]

16GB v 16GB

na

[rancid juniper]

I WANT MOAR

[opaque sedge]

Only 3 red devil cards left in my nearest store

[mortal grail]

Never took you for a vram fanatic

[opaque sedge]

Guess my 4070super gets to live for now

[mortal grail]

Frost this is a weird fetish you have

[idle nexus]

lol that's kinda different but ya can't argue with results

[rancid juniper]

i love my memory thicc

[lone mango]

They do benchmarks in 4k youll be ok

[rancid juniper]

what?

im not attracted to vram

[fresh timber]

Lmfao had to use what I had

[opaque sedge]

My vram’s avg… of 12gigs

[rancid juniper]

meh

😔

[opaque sedge]

But i apparently got a good amt of l2 cache

[rancid juniper]

16GB+ OR BUST

also why amd dont update vulkan with their latest drivers smh

[mortal grail]

I'd have told you to not to upgrade had you still had the pulse

[idle nexus]

RadeonMod just changes Registry values

[mortal grail]

[idle nexus]

I don't see why it wouldn't work on newer AMD cards

[rancid juniper]

my intel igpu has the latest version

[mortal grail]

Fascinating

[lone mango]

[opaque sedge]

Yh… my vram was choking up with high textures in ff7 rebirth causing frame drops a lot set it lower and basically none completed the entire game at a locked 90 fps

[mortal grail]

Rip the nvidia man

[rancid juniper]

welp rip, all the $600 9070 XTs are gone from microcenter in my state

LMFAO

[mortal grail]

What about 9070

[opaque sedge]

I’m personally very interested in a radeon gpu rn for one reason… the upcoming release of desktop steam os

[rancid juniper]

THE PRICES ARE ASS

[opaque sedge]

Nvidia is no doubt gonna mess up their linux drivers one way or another

[mortal grail]

550 is fine honestly

[opaque sedge]

Same mine only has 3 red devil cards left

[rancid juniper]

there are some 550 models

[mortal grail]

Go get one

[rancid juniper]

cheapest 9070 XT is $750

[opaque sedge]

Just 50 bucks away from a card that performs similarly to an xtx…

[rancid juniper]

i have no money on me

[opaque sedge]

Well supposed to be 50 bucks away

[mortal grail]

Procure funding

Write to mr orange

[lone mango]

Buy now pay later and sell 7800 xt for 500

[rancid juniper]

i cant sell my 7800xt in like a day

its too late now

[opaque sedge]

I technically have an option to get back the 6 hundies i paid for my 4070super

But it involves…

Drastic measures

[fresh timber]

Any techies got idea

[rancid juniper]

just download garbo nvidia drivers

and call it a day

[opaque sedge]

Dude if i somehow manage to “accidentally” break the 4070super i am very likely to not end up with a gpu for a while given all msrp 9070xts have sold out 💀

[rancid juniper]

see

no point

[opaque sedge]

I’m gonna be like the people who sold their 20 series cards for the 30 series launch

In that scenario

[mortal grail]

9070 is just 12% slower for 9% less

Honestly a 550 9070 is good

[opaque sedge]

Then a month later it drops to 500

Prolly wont now tho

[mortal grail]

They're slated to increase

[opaque sedge]

Yh i heard

Underhanded tactics ngl

[mortal grail]

Yeah I'm disappointed in that

But not in the launch

[mental yoke]

increase why

[mortal grail]

Not enough to make me cancel

[mortal grail]

Seems to be two pronged

1 is retailers want money

2 is they had a rebate program from amd to hit the current msrp

[wise wigeon]

Brother you had a microcenter nearby and wanted to deal with online?

[lone mango]

Then ill wait

[mortal grail]

Gonna be a long ass time

[opaque sedge]

The current prices are more like a limited time discount to make it seem like amd did launch the current cards at msrp

[mortal grail]

9070 is not bad at all

[lone mango]

Fine by me

[opaque sedge]

Prolly the reason why they’re not making reference models available

Shoulda known there was smth sus when they set such a good msrp but said no reference models for sale

[fierce grove]

it was 16 miles away

[wise wigeon]

Near microcenter

[opaque sedge]

16 miles is nothing

[mortal grail]

A 550 9070 beats a 620 9070 XT and I've been saying a 720 9070 XT is still decent. Remember this

[wise wigeon]

That is literally nothing bro what?

[opaque sedge]

For a store like microcenter

[fierce grove]

it is when you can’t drive and don’t got a car and need to rely on uber

[mental yoke]

thanks for explanation from you and buildboi

[wise wigeon]

You can walk 16 miles with one leg and a cane faster than I can drive to one

Why would you deal with online

You were like having heart palpitations about the launch bro

[mental yoke]

just normal heart stuff

[wise wigeon]

I hope that’s not normal for you

[mental yoke]

heh

[misty sparrow]

If the French Army Knife was a multitool like the Swiss Army Knife, it would contain a white flag

[wise wigeon]

I literally told yall this

Like multiple times

[fierce grove]

im okay now since i got the 9070 non xt

phew

almost had a heart attack

[wise wigeon]

If you have heart attacks buying the parts idk what’s gonna happen if you build

[mortal grail]

Acer has a reference-like card

[fierce grove]

what should i buy at micro center for funsies

[fierce grove]

ima figure it out through youtube

[mortal grail]

Buy the micro center

[fierce grove]

i did that last year, it’s boring now

[wise wigeon]

You really gonna do me like this rn huh?

[fierce grove]

what, are you implying you don’t have a micro center near?

[misty sparrow]

parts to make your own custom keyboard, i know they have it there

[fierce grove]

LOL RIP

[misty sparrow]

i'm pretty sure they have that there

[fierce grove]

lowkey boring, what else?

[opaque sedge]

Wth acer cards actually look good

Maybe they cooking

[mortal grail]

I didn't know they existed until after I bought a pulse. They literally were no where

[wise wigeon]

Bro went from nervous wreck to sucks to suck real quick on me

[fierce grove]

it’s 16 miles and it’s 4500 reviews and average 4.5 star 🌟

[opaque sedge]

You alr have the pulse on hand?

[fierce grove]

LOLL

[opaque sedge]

Show us some pics man

[misty sparrow]

enough thermal paste to fill up a bathtub so you can bathe in it

[mortal grail]

No

[frigid stag]

I don’t think he can get it that fast

[fierce grove]

good point

[sinful blade]

Buy me some new speakers

[fierce grove]

which want you want gang

[mortal grail]

Make sure you eat the thermal paste (optional)

[sinful blade]

Nah I actually need a new monitor

[mortal grail]

Oops had reply on

[sinful blade]

I am using a 60Hz lcd screen

[mortal grail]

Welp goose thats your task

[fierce grove]

they sell $3.50 32 gb flash drives

[mortal grail]

Eat the paste

[fierce grove]

fuh yea

[wise wigeon]

Rubbing in other people’s misfortune ain’t really funny for me, if I was a scalper sure, but I just wanted a GPU

[opaque sedge]

I miss the ability to say those two magical words…

[fierce grove]

okay im sorry

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-db-dbz-dbs-dragon-ball-gif-18796533

[frigid stag]

[mortal grail]

My first executive order as mod

Eat da paste

[opaque sedge]

Eat…

[mortal grail]

Lmao

[opaque sedge]

Eat DE

[sinful blade]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/667603/acer-22cv1q-215-full-hd-(1920-x-1080)-100hz-led-monitor

if you find any of these, lmk @fierce grove

[opaque sedge]

I cant do it

I’m scared

[wise wigeon]

8 hour round trip wouldn’t have been worth it anyway at that point I was paying $800+ for a msrp card after I factor in cost of gas and time

[mortal grail]

Eat de paste

Don't worry I gotchu

[frigid stag]

It’s minty (I used toothpaste)

[mortal grail]

You brush with toothpaste?

Mx-6 is SO CHEAP DOE

[frigid stag]

No but I build with tooth paste

[mortal grail]

Oh

Is it colgate

[frigid stag]

Ofc

[mortal grail]

Good

[frigid stag]

It’s usually the cheapest I can get

[mortal grail]

Colgate op

Best spread

No pumpout

[frigid stag]

💯

[opaque sedge]

Eat my meat (older pic cuz i dont have the money to buy steak rn)

[fierce grove]

why yall talking about micro center like it’s the holy grail

[mortal grail]

Cos it is

[mortal grail]

[Eats new phone]

[mortal grail]

Do it

[lone mango]

very effective

[frigid stag]

[opaque sedge]

Now lick it

[hoary zodiac]

Old phone was overcooked

[mortal grail]

Don't chicken out

[mortal grail]

Haha funny game

[frigid stag]

Nutella might be better 🤔

[dense locust]

Gotta change it out frequently

[frigid stag]

Not as bad as I thought tbh

[dense locust]

Usually the thing with other pastes is that it doesn’t last long

Not that it can’t transfer heat well

[mental yoke]

ngl i like those carbon nanosheets

[frigid stag]

they’re op

[mental yoke]

they kind of suck to place sometimes

[frigid stag]

🗿

[mental yoke]

i was trying to mount one on a processor that was vertical so u kinda had to fold the sheet into the space between the cooler and the surface

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail think I’m gonna be stuck with the XTX

[pseudo raven]

it is

[mental yoke]

thermal compound is nice for just painting

[wise wigeon]

Welp there was a reason I kept it instead of returning it after learning “MSRP”

[pseudo raven]

tryna get an xt?

[wise wigeon]

Tried got cancelled

[pseudo raven]

pretty much a side grade for you no

not a big deal

[wise wigeon]

I can still return the xtx so huge money save

[lone mango]

a lot cheaper tho

[pseudo raven]

ohh

[hoary zodiac]

Where is that bastard Alfred

No winds

[pseudo raven]

I didn't realize you could return it

there will be more drops this week hopefully

although bestbuy was the one place I was counting on to be good and it was sold out within 4 seconds lol

[wise wigeon]

I mean if it goes to 700 instead of the original “msrp” rather throw my hat in with the green devil at that point

[fresh timber]

Microcenter

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/imsosorry-sorry-fail-ifailedyou-crying-gif-8485211

[wise wigeon]

Ah yes spend $200+ in gas to buy a no longer msrp card

[misty sparrow]

In the closet

[fresh timber]

Cheaper than 1000+ Nvidia

[wise wigeon]

The point is to save a significant amount, not save a minuscule amount

Plus I would be ok paying 50-100 for the Nvidia alternative

[pseudo raven]

microcenter not guaranteed either

and prices going up soon

[wise wigeon]

Not when they already sold out in Dallas and multiple stores

[pseudo raven]

1k for an asus prime tuf oc

insanity

[surreal comet]

Hello gamers

Now is the new GPU launch going

[rancid juniper]

its wacky

[fresh timber]

What makes Nvidia so special now, all the benefits seem going now

[surreal comet]

Brand recognition

[vague atlas]

oh god restock

crossing fingers I can buy one

[surreal comet]

Sorry I bought them all and listed them on Facebook

[wind quail]

Annnnndddd they're gone

[fair onyx]

wow lol

[vague atlas]

seriously?

[fierce grove]

chat what’s the difference between the non xt and the xt

[fair onyx]

I mean, NVIDIA's GPU's are worthless this gen, so I guess its to be expected

[vague atlas]

I didn't even see them go up

lmao

[fierce grove]

micro center guy said 20%

[wind quail]

FR

[vague atlas]

did they actually go back on stock lmfao

[wind quail]

ther was a saphire 9070xt for 600

[fresh timber]

Real, raytracing? 9070xt is good at it, upscaling? Uhhh, also good now, not sure about encoders yet

[fair onyx]

Its the same reason why the 9800X3D was so low stock. They literally cited Intel being more incompetent than they expected, and it lead to them having to pick up more slack lol

[vague atlas]

ouch

[left burrow]

Hol' up, we on 9070s now?

[fair onyx]

its decent at ray tracing

[surreal comet]

Does the 9070xt make me regret getting a 7900xtx

[wind quail]

ouch because couldnt get it? because thats msrp

[surreal comet]

Lemme check the reviews

[misty sparrow]

hey wait a minute you look familiar

[hoary zodiac]

Nah

[vague atlas]

didn't evern see it lol

[wind quail]

amd not nvidai

[hoary zodiac]

They match each other

[misty sparrow]

i swear i've seen you somewhere

[wind quail]

it shouldnt

[fair onyx]

If you care about RT, for sure. If you don't, probably not

[surreal comet]

Thank God 🙏

[surreal comet]

Nah I don't rt is a gimmick made up by big graphics

[surreal comet]

What ....

[hoary zodiac]

If anything you should be very glad to have gotten the XTX

[surreal comet]

Nah I'm jokin I wanted the xtx lmao

[fair onyx]

I don't agree with that, but I do agree that it doesn't matter for most people

[left burrow]

Ok, makes more sense, but still.

[surreal comet]

I'm takin the piss

[hoary zodiac]

Oh lmao

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[vague atlas]

Minecraft RT is the thing I dream about

its so good

[wind quail]

there was an msrp XT

[dense locust]

They said restock but I don’t see anything restocked lol

[fair onyx]

I was just playing it yesterday haha

[surreal comet]

I have yet to RT on my xtx

[dense locust]

Not buying a gpu just wanna see the stock

[rancid juniper]

long gone

[surreal comet]

Doubt it's much good

[wind quail]

they where there gone though

[vague atlas]

It really works wonders on that game

[wind quail]

all the good stuff anyway

[vague atlas]

like I don't mind playing at 70 fps with RT on minecraft

[dense locust]

Sol out in less than a min?

[nova plaza]

more like less than a second

[vague atlas]

most of my time is spent building so having the crazy dynamic lighting is soooo good

[fair onyx]

I found some shaders I actually like even more that don't have RT, cause they just look so good haha

[surreal comet]

Minecraft I NEED a high framerate

[vague atlas]

get a mic 🙏

[surreal comet]

Chat I need more frames

[wind quail]

i think it was 2 mind maybe

[rancid juniper]

coil whine engaged

[surreal comet]

That's how you know you're gaming

[fierce grove]

yo frames if you like the video

[vague atlas]

any kind souls mind pinging me if they see any MSRP cards

I'm feining for one

but I don't got the reflexes 😢

[fierce grove]

literally none, best bet is go to your micro center and see if they have any

[dense locust]

Rtx bedrock mid

I cannot enable dlss in bedrock dunno why

[surreal comet]

I got my card for MSRP

[vague atlas]

my local microcenter 2000 km away 😭

[wind quail]

there WHERE... the ping from announcements is going to be the fastest

[vague atlas]

yeah I clicked it and they were gone

that went faaast

[wind quail]

im guessing you live outside the US?

[vague atlas]

I buy from the US but yeah

[fierce grove]

LOL i can link you a bundle that hasn’t released yet, but it contains the 9070 xt at msrp, you gotta be quick asf

[wind quail]

ah what country?

[vague atlas]

Honduras

[fair onyx]

oof

[vague atlas]

I just ship the card separately

[wind quail]

oof yeah fair enough

[surreal comet]

But guys amd said they'd have stock

[vague atlas]

cuz local prices are yikes

[surreal comet]

Did they lie....

[vague atlas]

5x0 is still 0

against Nvidia stock they might as well have flooded the market

[dense locust]

They did have stock
Just it all got bottled

[fair onyx]

I just think way more people want it than they expected. They have to carry basically a whole gen since NVIDIA is selling trash this year

[fierce grove]

Check this out on @Newegg:GPU CPU Combo - Sapphire Tech 11348-03-20G Bundle with AMD 100-100001404WOF https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4764231&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-Combo.4764231-_-03062025

apparently this hasn’t been prepared yet

[fair onyx]

Same thing happened with the 9800X3D, and then they fixed it

[surreal comet]

AMD actually has customers for once and doesn't know what to do 💀

[fierce grove]

9700x 9070xt bundle

[dense locust]

Newegg probably held back stock to sell their stupid bundles

[fair onyx]

Its not even just that they have customers, its that they have their own customers, and the thousands and thousands who decided to not get an NVIDIA GPU this year

[surreal comet]

Buy a 5080
It explodes
Buy another one
Cycle continues

[dense locust]

My 5080 is fine you can’t take it from me

[vague atlas]

don't have the money to buy bundles tbh

but appreciate it

[surreal comet]

Slightly unplugging your power connector

[fair onyx]

NVIDIA just sucks ass this gen, and AMD actually had a good GPU launch for once. Its kinda crazy luck lol

[vague atlas]

AMD had a good card at MSRP

[dense locust]

Hey some amd cards have it now too

[vague atlas]

but its still not quite there to compete with Nvidia 1:1

[wet trellis]

too much ai, not enough compatibility

[vague atlas]

if they can fix the FSR4 performance they might though

the image quality is def getting there

[surreal comet]

Thankfully mine doesn't it's just 3 giant ass 8 pins

[fresh timber]

No

Theirs stock, just not online

[fair onyx]

Yeah, thats unfortunately why I would never own an AMD card in this climate. They have such trash support in programs

[surreal comet]

My picture in build pics has 7 fire emojis heartwarming 💜

[dense locust]

“But athletics!”
-nvidia fans probably

[wet trellis]

im gonna get an amd card next upgrade

[surreal comet]

Nvidia fans aren't old enough to have a discord account tho?

[dense locust]

I didn’t care for amd or nvidia I just got the card I could buy

[idle flax]

Any of you get the gpu on that second round?

[fair onyx]

I would as well, if they offer what I need when I upgrade. For now I am after a digit lol

[surreal comet]

Tbf I wish I got a reference card XTX

I'll settle with the merc310 tho

[wind quail]

they just dont have bad support lol

[crisp epoch]

Did the second round already come?

[dense locust]

I didn’t even see the gpus up for the second round

[wind quail]

come and gone

[vague atlas]

same

[fair onyx]

hmm?

[mortal grail]

Think this sums it up best.
Nvidia has no stock for a 90% market share
AMD at 10% and less albeit had some 10 to 1 stock likely just carried 10x the consumer base and barely met demand

[fair onyx]

Yeah, thats exactly what happened with the 9800X3D, they literally said it themselves

[limber crane]

i saw one asus card up for a few seconds but nothing else

[wise wigeon]

It’s still roughly 5-8% faster in raster and 20% in RT so not really

[fair onyx]

they had stock issues cause they didn't expect intel to fail so bad and dump the whole market on them

[mortal grail]

I think Sytan has it totally right tbh

[wind quail]

amd have good game support

[fair onyx]

Not everything is about games lol

Some of us need our GPU's for work, not just playing around

[dense locust]

Intel needs a comeback I don’t want amd to be the only player

[surreal comet]

Upgrading to the 9800x3D then complaining on reddit it wasn't a good enough jump

[fair onyx]

For sure

[wind quail]

ah sorry i misread the programs bit

[rigid sinew]

hey all ! ill start updating here as well when we restock for any future 50 series or 9000 series

[dense locust]

Amd cpus are already at insane prices as it is

[mortal grail]

Competition is the W for consumers

[fair onyx]

Did you guys see that TSMC is giving Qualcomm $100b to strengthen US based semicon?

[wet trellis]

i might just stick to intel integrated graphics

[lone mango]

Bots already got it its over

[idle flax]

Damn I feel lucky

[wise wigeon]

I mean I didn’t even get a stock notification

[rigid sinew]

i love how you missed the word future

[fair onyx]

I am happy with my GPU's in terms of gaming. I have no need for anything else. I just need a digit if I can end up getting one when they drop

[idle flax]

In sure they’ll restock twice a week

[rigid sinew]

future restocks ICYMI

[surreal comet]

I Already doomed the future

Sorryb

I have 72 alternative accounts

[rigid sinew]

we previously didnt post restocks but ill start doing that here now

[mortal grail]

We have a few that missed a card if you can set one or two aside

[tough python]

I wish I could get a 9070

[lone mango]

Bots already got it

[dense locust]

That’s nice now we don’t have to worry about relying on trackers that ddos the site by refreshing every min

[mortal grail]

They got cancelled on

[fresh timber]

I stole my dads debit card for this

[rigid sinew]

i have no leeway

[surreal comet]

Can I have it

[mortal grail]

Sadge

I tried bois

Lol

[rigid sinew]

sorry about that

[mortal grail]

It's ok

Not your fault we are in this mess

[fair onyx]

But yeah, its good to see AMD doing good for once on the GPU front

They NEED to drop the 9070 price tho, its way too high for what it is

[rigid sinew]

ill just let yall know when i @ everyone so be sure to have your notifs on for that

[mortal grail]

Lol

[limber crane]

seems like the lottery should be getting used for this

[fair onyx]

We also desperately need an arc B780. That would have been a money machine

[surreal comet]

Make the 9070 free with every box of Cheerios tbh

[fresh timber]

I want one so bad

[fair onyx]

I would get an intel card before an AMD one, probably

[wise wigeon]

I mean before they shot their own feet

[fair onyx]

True lol

[crisp epoch]

@rigid sinew did the 1pm @ everyone already pass? Or still incoming

[misty sparrow]

$50 price difference between normal 9070 and the xt, right? I'm thinking it should be a $100 difference

[limber crane]

was over before it began

[crisp epoch]

*sorry 16 min ago ping

[rigid sinew]

1pm? we just did a 3pm PST restock drop

[mortal grail]

It's way to close for sure so it feels weird. But in actual perf it's only 12% slower so a lot of those msrp cards are good grabs considering

[misty sparrow]

If the XT is only a bit more people are just going to get the XT

[surreal comet]

Okay as an Intel #hater I think their GPUs looks cool I'd buy one if they made a high range card

[vague atlas]

that's the point

[rigid sinew]

i think everything is oos now

[crisp epoch]

Sorry im 2 hours behind, so is that restock done?

[fair onyx]

Its always been crazy to see how AMD, the masters of saving a company from bankruptcy and then stealing basically the whole market from intel, is also insanely inept for releasing GPU's lmao

[crisp epoch]

Gotcha, thanks

[wet trellis]

i might just invest money into a workstation for cad

idk

[frigid stag]

yes

[wise wigeon]

So not shooting your own feet is better than nothing

[vague atlas]

they probably don't actually want to put the focus on the 9070

[rigid sinew]

but i will be adding here in the future

[mortal grail]

Their departments are apparently segregated internally

No cooperation

[misty sparrow]

We are now a few seconds into the future

[frigid stag]

reminder that the 5700xt was 399 same with the 7700xt

[surreal comet]

9070 is gonna drop another 50 bucks in like 2 months watch

[rigid sinew]

that we are

[vague atlas]

the $550 price is to make everyone look at the 70 xt be like "this is such a good deal guys don't you think"

[rigid sinew]

been a tough day today guys

[fair onyx]

Thats why I am not interested in blackwell, cause it sucks for what I need it to do. Thats why I wanna get a digit, which willl actually do what I need/want

[limber crane]

why isnt shuffle being used for GPU's? seems like it should always be used for these situations

[wise wigeon]

Hope project digit works out

[crisp epoch]

Cards with 24GB vram are readily available in the second hand market. Since you’re here it doesn’t seem like you care for workstation drivers sooooo yeah go for it.

[silver sparrow]

i mean yeah, if 50$ gives that much of a perf boost, why not go for it

[wise wigeon]

It is, just not everyday

[fair onyx]

The problem is it does the opposite. The 9070Xt is an objectively good deal against all other options right now. All it does is make AMD look strangely greedy

[limber crane]

seems like launch day is a no brainer, but guess not

[wise wigeon]

Strangely?

[lone mango]

I think its because the 9070 is basically a defective xt, so you need bad xt chips to make a 9070

[fair onyx]

Like, it doesn't make sense alongside how well priced the 9070XT. It feels almost like its a contradiction

[vague atlas]

that also plays a part, its a sacrifical SKU

[fresh timber]

I vencwith increwsed price I’ll still get it

[mortal grail]

Bois

Remember these numbers

[lone mango]

It should be like the 7900 xt where it goes down in price a lot more over time

[fresh timber]

Some how the non msrp gpu is better then nvidias non msrp

[mortal grail]

12% slower, 9% less money

It's really not that bad at msrp

[wise wigeon]

I mean it hasn’t been that long since the 7900xt it’s clearly meant to upsell the xt

[mortal grail]

Very power efficient too

[vague atlas]

also them putting it at $550 directly puts it against the 5070 which $500 wouldn't, you gotta consider the average buyer really isn't looking all that deep, but they see "$50 exttra gets you HOW much performance!!??" they have a higher chance of splurging the extra bit

[mortal grail]

Like encroaching on 40 series a bit

[fair onyx]

Thats fair I guess, yeah

[misty sparrow]

are you gonna pull a "The numbers, mason!" joke in a few days to test us on if we remember the numbers or something

[vague atlas]

and again the 9070 is pretty much a defective 9070 xt, they can use it as a sacrifice

[crisp epoch]

Is Nahtulay pinging exclusively in #general-chat now or both here and #announcements going forward? I’d like to manage my notifications since the newegg discord had issues with @ everyone pings in the past

[mortal grail]

Lol I will now

[vague atlas]

I think the most I'm willing to pay for a 9070 xt atm is $700

[fair onyx]

I am very happy with my 3090 and my 3060ti 16GB. Both do exactly what I need right now without dumping a boatload of money into something else (Until I can get a digit)

[vague atlas]

otherwise I'd rather just wait for a MSRP 5070 ti

[mortal grail]

700-720 or so yea

[rigid sinew]

only announcements so i dont have everyone pinging me

[vague atlas]

I saw one for $720 and honestly even that was like ehhh

[mortal grail]

But then objectively 9070 at 550 is good vs a 700 9070xt

[vague atlas]

skipped on it

[nocturne flicker]

The most I'm willing to pay for a 9070 XT is $0 because I'm not upgrading

[lone mango]

[misty sparrow]

Tree fitty for a 9070 XT

[vague atlas]

I probably would have stuck to my 3080 if it didn't break lul

but I'm currently using a 5700 xt and I want to move to 4k sooo

upgrades gotta happen

[wise wigeon]

Yeah but like was $700 not the price we said was doa less than a week ago?

[limber crane]

when the MSRP is inevitably raised, $720 will look like a steal

[fair onyx]

I'll just keep crossing my fingers that project digit will be decent. If thats not, then I am kinda screwed 😅

[vague atlas]

at which point I just forget about he 9070 xt and wait for the 5070 ti

[mortal grail]

Until 5070 and 5070 Ti really never brought the supposed "flood of stock" they talked about

[vague atlas]

because $600 IS a good deal, you price it higher and suddenly its not

[mortal grail]

MLID lied again btw

[fair onyx]

Could always get the M3 Ultra with 512GB of memory that its wayyyyyy too damn slow to be able to do anything worth while with

[mortal grail]

Idk if anyone caught that

[limber crane]

5070 ti is gonna be $1200 or more probably forever

[vague atlas]

MLID literally always lies

give me some news

[fair onyx]

MLID?

[mortal grail]

This was another big one tho

[vague atlas]

the mf that posts GPU "leaks"

[wise wigeon]

That was a supposed inside source not Nvidia

[mortal grail]

He does lie a lot lmao

[vague atlas]

he just makes stuff up

[fair onyx]

Ah, ok

[wise wigeon]

When is he not lying

[mortal grail]

Turned out completely false

[misty sparrow]

There's a reason why there's an "L" in his name

[mortal grail]

Good question

The press ran with that flood idea tho

Really gave him that ad revenue

[vague atlas]

He will say 3 things, 2 of them will be complete bs and 1 will be kinda right and then he'll make a video saying he was right on that 1 thing

[wise wigeon]

Him and redgaming are such big AMD shills I take their stuff with a grain of salt

[mortal grail]

I remember when he was fed fake amd slides

And he made a whole vid about it lmao

[vague atlas]

You guys think the guy behind userbenchmark gets paid from the sheer traffick the site gets lol

[fair onyx]

bruh

Thats a bad word but not ass? 😭

Some jerk I used to know bet me $1000 that the 5090 would "For sure not have more than 24GB"

And then he tried to ruin my life and we blocked each other, and then he threw a fit that he was wrong when I told him back in 2023 that the 5090 would for sure have more than 24GB lol

[vague atlas]

I fully believe that guy just writes articles to meme atp

and he gets paid for it

[mortal grail]

The "5070 flood" tho I'll remember for a long ass time cos he really pumped that story

[wise wigeon]

The fact that people on r/radeon still use MLID as a source baffles me

[frigid stag]

hes kind of a meme

[dense locust]

no its obviously because everyone loves intel

[frigid stag]

at least do actual testing instead of memeing

[dense locust]

everyone love superior products

[vague atlas]

Like I truly don't believe someone can make some of that stuff up without being self aware

[dense locust]

amd bad

[frigid stag]

latency> fps

[mortal grail]

AMD fanatics are more insane than nvidia ones, this is just a fact lmao

[vague atlas]

Cuz at this point I just have fun reading the wild things he posts lol

[wise wigeon]

Arguably more since the ryzen success

[frigid stag]

theres not much to it

[fair onyx]

I'd say userbenchmark is a meme as well, but it genuinely pains me to imagine who the guy behind it must be. Like, how can you spend every day of the last decade or longer lying repeatedly and garnering so much hate and isolation from being a completely out of it lunatic that has been meat riding a company that legit banned you from any of their official spaces cause you make them look THAT bad..

[dense locust]

"dont buy a 5090 buy a 9070 its the same!"

[frigid stag]

its not every day its like once every release

[misty sparrow]

Next thing you know, he's gonna say Jensen parted the red sea or something

[frigid stag]

so couple time a year

[mortal grail]

If I ever start doing that report me to a mod lmao

[fair onyx]

I mean every day as in its still up every day. Like, its available to see his idiocy all day every day 😅

[frigid stag]

oh

[worthy meteor]

just turn the numbers around, 9070 is clearly a 7090

[mortal grail]

I shill the value of amd but I try to keep it level-headed as much as I can

[fair onyx]

I remember his review of the 285k and how he DESPERATELY tried

Oh wow, he changed it-

[frigid stag]

cant imagine how theyd shill a cpu that got downgraded

[fair onyx]

Its actually negative now

OH WOW, and it disses Ryzen in it lmaooo

[brazen fable]

Who’s gonna buy the new RYZEN RTX 9070 XT

🤔

[frigid stag]

intel literally copied the worst parts of amd with arrow lake

[surreal comet]

Buy this 7900xtx off eBay that's totally not my listing

[fair onyx]

I still want to sit on my high horse and say that Alderlake was the best generation of CPU's intel has ever released

[brazen fable]

Let’s trade

[wise wigeon]

You managed to get an XT?

[frigid stag]

265k does lose to 12600k in a couple games

lol

[surreal comet]

No I like meming

[brazen fable]

6800 XT and a rtx 680 😏

[misty sparrow]

Too much trolling

[frigid stag]

doesnt exist

afaik

[misty sparrow]

https://imgur.com/GqowZiI

[surreal comet]

Erm 7900xtx is more than 6800 + 680

[frigid stag]

actually nvm it does

[surreal comet]

Therefore better

[fair onyx]

I have a 12600k, cause my work cares about mem and GPU, not CPU. No need to get more CPU if I don't need it lmao

Plus, I got it for $140 during a massive sale back in mid 2023

[vague atlas]

AMD fans are just crazy because they are broker than Nvdia shills, so its like comparing meth addicts vs ozempic addicts

[frigid stag]

never heard of 680 somehow

only 690

lol

[brazen fable]

Chilll, bro, if you link them it’s the equivalent of a 4090

🙁

[frigid stag]

fair

[fair onyx]

This is so real lmao

[surreal comet]

My 710 is great I SWEAR

[brazen fable]

Oh yeah?

oh oop, something huge must have hit...

Sir, the second R1 has hit the second tower type of stock crash

[nocturne flicker]

Everything is down today stock wise

[surreal comet]

And dipping sticks

[wise wigeon]

They’ll start talking about how the xtx is better than a 4090 because of its benchmark scores in bo6

[eternal pivot]

wth are you talking about there's no restock

[brazen fable]

It has chicken wings

[nocturne flicker]

The US market has been underperforming the foreign market to the tune of about 10% since 1/20

[brazen fable]

😭

1 frame better

[misty sparrow]

with frame gen enabled but they don't tell you that

[worthy meteor]

oh I forgot it's going to still be affected by tariff talk

[nocturne flicker]

And we are on track for a recession

[surreal comet]

My 7900xtx is better than a 4090 because it's mine

[worthy meteor]

everything is gonna trend down for a bit

Our president is absolutely stupid, I won’t be able to afford a Toyota anymore 🙁 that 1999 Toyota is gone

Why tariffs on aluminum and steel 🙁

[fair onyx]

Frame gen some upwards graphs lol

[eternal pivot]

where are you looking at userbenchmark that website is atrocious

[worthy meteor]

slightly out of date lmfao

[mortal grail]

To laugh

[nocturne flicker]

Because it sounds nice to everyone who doesn't know what a tariff is

[fair onyx]

Cause its funny lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Or who we get our steel and aluminum actually from

[brazen fable]

Tariffs on everything atp

[mortal grail]

6500 xt and 3050 on that list is insane

just noticed, I just saw 580 at the top lmao

[misty sparrow]

just watch

[mortal grail]

I'm back

[limber crane]

canceling the Mercury magnetic for $850 was a good choice right? that's too much for one of these cards?

[fair onyx]

[mortal grail]

Yes

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry, the executive banned talking about bird flu 😊

[mortal grail]

850 way too much

[eternal pivot]

yes way too much, basically if you cant get it at MSRP you shouldn't even consider the others

[brazen fable]

They talked about banning the measles vaccine after a MEASLES OUTBREAK STARTED

[limber crane]

ive been back and forth for hours and just cancelled but now i have people telling me i shouldve kept it

[mortal grail]

720 is about where I'd draw the line in this gpu climate

And 720 is a toss up

[surreal comet]

Why do they keep saying Intel is gonna go bankrupt what does it have to do with the review

[limber crane]

i hate the endless decision/analysis paralysis that comes with buying PC parts

[nocturne flicker]

Make America Healthy Again by cutting $800billion in healthcare spending 😊

[mortal grail]

It's hilarious comparing this to when he talked about early ryzen, you really have this like "Where did it all go wrong?" Moment lmao

[eternal pivot]

I wouldn't even go that far, 9070 xt is good but it's only good at a certain price, 600 is the max i'd pay anything more and you'd be better off trying to look at waiting

[idle flax]

but i got the Gigabyte gaming OC 9070 XT for 730, not bad IMO

[fresh timber]

Unironically I’d take a free 3050 and use it for encoding and light gaming

[brazen fable]

Make everyone almost die, and not be able to afford much as well as bringing racism back 🤣 @nocturne flicker

Like what?

[surreal comet]

If the 4060lp didn't need external power I'd buy one for a secondary tiny build

[misty sparrow]

Maybe they aren't talking about Intel (the company) but their own intelligence going bankrupt

[mortal grail]

Would love to agree but those 9070 XTs existed for like 3 minutes at 600 if you didn't wait at a micro center

[frigid stag]

its true for overclocked 147/149 with tuned ram. gaps the 7800x3d

[fresh timber]

I want more pcie 1x gpus

[brazen fable]

Ah I tagged wrong person

[frigid stag]

what racism back tf

[surreal comet]

Mods tag this guy

[frigid stag]

are u good?

[mortal grail]

You'd have to really oc that to hell

[idle flax]

the card i got is running ultra monster hunter 1440p at 175-200 FPS

its like 4% difference stock

[idle flax]

my 3080 was getting like 60 with dlss and 90 with FSR lmfao mid to low with high tectures only

[mortal grail]

[fresh timber]

Racism here?? I

[mortal grail]

Guys

[surreal comet]

Girls

[mortal grail]

Let's not dive into politics heavily

[misty sparrow]

nascar is the best

[surreal comet]

I'm gonna get real racist
The Miata is getting too expensive

[mortal grail]

I was letting it go until now

[worn wave]

Goose, respectfully, please shut up

[fresh timber]

Istg I got in a argument with somebody about that, sayin it’s bad

[surreal comet]

Back in my day the Miata was affordable

[frigid stag]

no

[vague atlas]

Oh man this a discussion I don't wanna jump into

[mortal grail]

[misty sparrow]

Fords are mid too

[vague atlas]

bro stop posting videos man

[misty sparrow]

even the cars, not just the trucks

[fresh timber]

Goose does not want me to get a job

[vague atlas]

the aura loss is historical

[frigid stag]

huh

[eternal pivot]

worst part is there's rumors that that pricing won't exist for long and will only apply to the current shipment

That and the fact that is microcenters don't exist so for 99% of people it's not an option

[surreal comet]

Okay I wanna say

I wanna drive a Ecoboost mustang

Not own one

Just drive one

[fresh timber]

You know, dei helps me with that

[surreal comet]

Seems funny

[fair onyx]

My mom has one and she loves it haha

[vague atlas]

Saying for your own good sgt. lil bro 🙏

[surreal comet]

Turbo 4 mustang sounds fun as hell to rip around

[mortal grail]

That part they have no out for. They are digging their own hole on that one

[limber crane]

this is why i wonder if paying more than $600 wouldnt actually be that bad

[idle flax]

i dnt regret paying 730

[surreal comet]

I never got the controversy of it tbh

[misty sparrow]

If you drive an ecoboost mustang will the engine sound and feel as good as just a normal mustang though?

[surreal comet]

Mustangs already had 4 banger options in the 80s

[misty sparrow]

same with hybrid/electric mustangs

[frigid stag]

i meant that its a band aid fix not addressing the real issue

[vague atlas]

I feel like I'd rather get the 5070 ti if I'm gonna be paying more, personally

Like I'd rather just wait

[surreal comet]

I assume if you're buying one those aren't factors for you

[brazen fable]

Guys screw the Evs and gas, let’s use hydrogen cars that have water vapor as exhaust 😏

[limber crane]

its wildly more money for a 5070 ti, like at least $400 most likely, for ~10% or less performance

[idle flax]

i sold my old CPU and my 3080 will sel l since its a EVGA ftw3 ultra gaming

[surreal comet]

Tbh if he Ecoboost mustang just had a different label no one would've cared to get mad lol

[vague atlas]

that's why I said wait for one

[frigid stag]

hydrogen toyota sounds sick

[surreal comet]

Should've named it after an older Ford coupe or sum

Nostalgia sells

[vague atlas]

although yeah MSRP is currently nonexisting

[fair onyx]

People act like its slow. Her Mustang is faster than the V6, but its a V4. She has the leather interior, the upgraded sound system with a custom 10 inch 1kW sub I installed, and its a convertible. She whips it around all over the place, always with the top down, blasting music. My mom is the best haha

[misty sparrow]

Well people who buy muscle cars buy it for the feel, power, and sounds of the engine right? If you buy a hybrid/electric/ecofriendly version then what's the point?

[eternal pivot]

yeah tbh the only thing going for the 9070 is the price, AMD killing the MSRP is going to backfire massively

[vague atlas]

^

AMD forgets its still cheap Nvidia

[surreal comet]

300 horsepower is still nothing to scoff at, even if it's a general downgrade is a compromise

[brazen fable]

Yes

[vague atlas]

they don't have any brand to back themselves off

[idle flax]

I don’t think it would be impossible to get a card if this were true

[surreal comet]

The Ecoboost mustang is for those who want a fun daily that won't absolutely kill them for fuel costs

[mortal grail]

And the cards ain't even that bad, it's just people won't settle for 2nd if it's not aggressively undercut

[worn wave]

I mean, either the above MSRP cards sell at the prices they have, or they don't sell and get their prices dropped

[surreal comet]

Dunno

[wise wigeon]

Mr brain worms strikes again

[surreal comet]

I don't own one

[frigid stag]

you can buy one though not many charging stations for it

[fair onyx]

My mother got ther ecoboost cause its still more than enough power for her, and its not insanely loud, but its still fun as hell

[idle flax]

People will pay for whatever tbh you’d be surprised lol

[vague atlas]

Tbf we are kinda stuck in a situation where everyone will get whatever they can get

[fresh timber]

I want 800 horse power minimal smh

[vague atlas]

so I guess it works for them

[surreal comet]

[frigid stag]

i need 1k bhp

[vague atlas]

it just doesn't do them any brand image favors

[fresh timber]

Here you u go

[idle flax]

If someone is out there buying 4,000$ 5090s then I’m sure people won’t mind spending 750 for a 9070

[limber crane]

exactly, it's why nvidia cards cost so much, because people pay

[fresh timber]

Sus

[fair onyx]

My family has tons of very fast cars, but we have all just decided that they are soooo impratical lol

[mortal grail]

Put it through the front wheels

[surreal comet]

Among us

[frigid stag]

my last car had like 130hp

[idle flax]

I don’t regret getting my card today I’m happy with my purchase

[frigid stag]

got totalled

lol

[surreal comet]

My Miata currently is only pushing 150 horse

[limber crane]

i ordered the most expensive 9070 at $850, granted i canceled now but still

[brazen fable]

People are brainwashed to think u need 600+ hp

[surreal comet]

Planning to supercharge it eventually

[idle flax]

I have a Silverado 1500 I miss my Camrys gas lol

[brazen fable]

300 is really good

Depending on car and weight

[fair onyx]

My Boxter has... 275 I think? It has a supercharger my father and his father put on it

[frigid stag]

“brainwashed”

[wise wigeon]

I mean if they at least had reference cards they could argue the msrp, but they don’t so it’s worse

[idle flax]

I got the gigabyte 9070 xt gaming OC

[frigid stag]

sounds like copium to say higher is worse

[idle flax]

And it’s not getting canceled it’ll be here tomorrow haha

[fresh timber]

I don’t need 800, I want 800

[brazen fable]

I got 201 😏

[wise wigeon]

[brazen fable]

[surreal comet]

Erm wrong I put 87 octane in your gas tank

[idle flax]

My buddy has a 2014 Shelby gr 500 pulling almost 700 to the wheels, totally unnecessary lol

[fair onyx]

If I wanted to drive a fast car, I would drive one of our Porsche 911's, or the dodge viper. I am not somebody who likes fast cars. I still don't even have a drivers license cause I am terrified I will hurt people 😭

[brazen fable]

NOOOOOO😓

[brazen fable]

NOW ITS 198 😞

[fair onyx]

I want my mom to sell my car and just get something small and economic

[misty sparrow]

i never really got people buying fast cars because at the end of the day you still have to obey the speed limit

[surreal comet]

Ms who say "300 horsepower is slow" have never driven something like a Focus RS

[misty sparrow]

on roads

[surreal comet]

Most people arguing about horsepower aren't even old enough to drive

[brazen fable]

Fr

[frigid stag]

these days they are

[idle flax]

If I wasn’t having a kid I would’ve bought a Corolla GR over my Silverado haha

[fair onyx]

And THAT is why my mom got the ecoboost mustang. It has 345 hp with the tuning my dad did, and it can still get up to speed irresponsibly fast, but she obeys road laws lol

[frigid stag]

its like 18 year olds trash talking each others cars

[brazen fable]

I want one so bad man

[fresh timber]

Iv driven a corvette, 400hp isn’t anything to laugh at

[frigid stag]

“m3 is mid just buy m5 atp”

type of things u hear

[brazen fable]

Corolla gr and gr 86 are what I’m looking to buy next tbh

[idle flax]

Now if I was rich I’d get a black wing haha

[fair onyx]

Our dodge viper has over 400 HP, and absolutely NO safety at all. Its literally a coffin on wheels

[surreal comet]

The people who talk the most smack about cars have the least automotive experience in the room

Learn to drive a slow car fast then drive fast car fast

Less of a speeding issue, more of a "it spins out going 15MPH in a corner" issue lmao

[fresh timber]

What tires

[fair onyx]

I don't know, its been out of driving for a while. Its a collectors, and unfortunately, it got into a severe crash

[fresh timber]

[nocturne flicker]

Just remove the bracket ez

[surreal comet]

Card weighs like 13 grams

[fresh timber]

Weird

[surreal comet]

Is the A2000 still the best LP card that doesn't need external power

[nocturne flicker]

Those cards aren't really heavy enough to need to be screwed down

[surreal comet]

Or what

[fresh timber]

But movement

It can get loose

[fresh timber]

I wish they made a 1 slot 4060

[coral sparrow]

You guys think the GPU markets gonna be better in a couple of years, 2-4? thoughts?

[nocturne flicker]

Don't throw you PC around like a loon and it'll be fine

[surreal comet]

Wdym I kick my PC whenever I lose a game

[fresh timber]

It goes in the car

[surreal comet]

I stand up out of my chair and roundhouse kick it

[surreal comet]

Take the GPU out during shipping

Ez

[fresh timber]

Gpu always comes out

I swap them

[nocturne flicker]

That isn't a gpu that is a wifi card(?)

[fresh timber]

No it’s a WiFi card

The gpu fits fine kek

No clue why they said gpu

I was only wondering if that was normal 😭😭

[surreal comet]

Came to me in a dream

[fresh timber]

Weary gave a clear answer

You just day dreamed

Be more like weary

[surreal comet]

Sir it's midnight over here how is that a daydream

I am the only one in the house that actually uses the internet past watching YouTube

[fresh timber]

Networking

[surreal comet]

I live with my grandmother and all she uses the internet for is Amazon, eBay and YouTube

Heartwarming

Even she knows cable isn't worth buying

🙏

[fresh timber]

[rancid juniper]

jarvis clip that

[velvet summit]

i have 2 plus wifi

[surreal comet]

Mom please it's not worth the extra 250 a month for 2 and a half men re runs

[surreal comet]

I think the only people who buy cable are the people who don't know you can watch sports elsewhere

Valid enough

[fresh timber]

Omg I totally could run dual gpu if I got rid of that end on the slot

[velvet summit]

it would work

just terribly

[fresh timber]

I would do it in my main rig but that cost too much

Not cutting a $180 motherboard

[surreal comet]

I want a dual GPU just to say I have two GPUs

[fresh timber]

Same

[surreal comet]

Clearly a great use of money

[fresh timber]

I’ll littelry buy a a310 just to say I have two

[gritty stag]

Ping?

[surreal comet]

Pong

[gritty stag]

Ghost ping what

[nocturne flicker]

More like 150 but she doesn't care

[surreal comet]

Damn cable is that cheap for you?

[nocturne flicker]

Just like she doesn't care about electricity being too high

[surreal comet]

Here basic cable is like 250-300 bucks

[nocturne flicker]

We have the biggest package

[gritty stag]

Oh it was the 6pm announcement but my phone glitched out and marked as read

[surreal comet]

We have the cheapest Internet plan here and it's still like 140 bucks

For Internet alone

I think it's gigabit? Can't remember

[fresh timber]

Mines cost $110

[nocturne flicker]

Ours is 90 for 500 down

[fresh timber]

500/20 speeds for me

[surreal comet]

Upload speed only matters when I wanna upload a sick clip to discord

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind jobs start at $9 in the area here

[fresh timber]

How much ru paid

[nocturne flicker]
