@humble folio 5070 ti sucks

humble folio
#

Yeah, it sucks so bad running 300+ frames on ultra settings with B06 it’s so terrible……

fresh timber
humble folio
#

I fear they purposely bugged a singular part of the drivers for a reason

fresh timber
#

No physx either

humble folio
#

You know that’s kind of crazy coming from somebody. Who’s only connections are PlayStation so yeah let me believe you.

#

I’ve been in there since 12 you look 12

#

Lol. Honestly when I think of it, the AIBs and sellers are the problem when it comes to the insane prices, unless I'm missing something

fresh timber

#

It’s public information and nobody asked for your opinion at all. I had an issue with my fans which I already fixed.

#

Oh, so I’m the one stalking you yeah your friend is over there sending screenshots of our conversation because he needs a white night

`UserBenchmark is NOT a reliable source of information and has been blanket banned in many hardware communities such as r/hardware and r/intel for what started as an anti-AMD bias but has spiraled into delusion.

In fact, they tried so hard to skew results in favor of Intel's midrange that they even cannibalized Intel's own high end. For example, according to UserBenchmark, the i3-9350K is rated higher than the i9-10980XE.

For a similarly convenient quick-and-dirty hardware comparison website, we recommend using PassMark instead of UserBenchmark.

PassMark CPU comparison: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleCompare.php
PassMark GPU comparison: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/singleCompare.php

Don’t make me choke on my food now, but you don’t even know anything about your branded GPU to even say anything

fresh timber
#

Enlighten me

nocturne flicker
#

Weary GPU

sweet phoenix
#

Drop this argument

humble folio
#

But he told me to look up a YouTube video to compare it but all those benchmarks aren’t even true. It was saying that he gets around 80 frames on max settings.

sweet phoenix
#

Or start talking civily

nocturne flicker

It makes a sigh every time you start a heavy workload

rancid juniper

humble folio
#

You’re talking civilly in a public channel downgrading my GPU that I got from new egg for what

humble folio
#

There’s no reason for it. It’s a whole freaking unit. I feel like I can run call of duty seven times on max frame with seven different screens and still have zero lag.

#

You spent 3.3k on a build that’s maybe 2k with hyper inflated prices

sweet phoenix
#

Yall can you just leave them alone

#

Their purchases do not affect you

humble folio
#

It’s actually 3.5 K like I said earlier soak in the information I’m giving you because it’s off of what I personally added like it was a custom build and it was on sale for 2.7 with tax

fresh timber
#

I’m curious, what country are you from

#

That could explain the price

velvet summit

humble folio
#

I’m in the United States. We have a GPU shortage right now again I tried to build a 4070 TI build but the price of that was way more than the 5070 TI but keep complaining.

This is one religion I can dig

Low end, bottlenecking the crap out of the GPU

Show me your PC since it’s so much better and you actually never sent me a 4070ti by the way I just double checked

and 30% higher priced

It’s not your money it’s not your build

Quick ping somebody with a 4090

It’s just so crazy because nobody literally asked for any of your opinions again I just came in here to help fix some damn fans

Add 300$ to the 9070xt

You came in Jen chat for no reason. I don’t even know you, your friend cried to you

You guys need to seriously kick them from the server because they’re saying I got scammed by new egg new egg new egg new egg new egg new egg new egg we are in new eggs server hello

newegg does have pretty bad deals sometimes lol

frigid stag

I wonder sometimes

They are ganging up on me for having a Nvidia build

velvet summit

some of the bundle deals are šŸ’©

frigid stag
#

I don’t know why I’m here

humble folio
#

In fact, the new GEN build with the 50 series they brought it in gen chat for no reason

sweet phoenix
#

You got "scammed" in the sense you overpaid, that is all. They need to chill with how they're coming at you, and you need to chill with the insults

humble folio
#

Welcome to the Internet bud. I’m not holding my tongue if they can’t handle it then they need to get off-line.

sweet phoenix
#

The server has rules for a reason

humble folio
#

Don’t come at me publicly if you can’t come at me in dms

frigid stag
#

Oh someone’s pc got insulted I see now

#

High ego

sweet phoenix
#

If you dont comply with the rules you'll be muted and eventually kicked.

humble folio
#

I saved over $1000 on that rather than making a custom PC that’s a gen older

sweet phoenix
#

You can feel that way without breaking server rules

humble folio
#

I actually supported me like these guys don’t give a crap about them so I’m safe here they brought it here. I’m gonna be public with it cause they want to be public with it.

You don’t even know what’s going on girl one guy dude with a 3060 TI in his name came into my DM’s after I asked him to because I wanted to show him more stats on my build and then he brought another friends to drag me down in this gen chat I did not do anything to start this.

rather buy it than a 850 70xt

and the 70 tis dont have palpitation inducing memory temps like the 70 xts

limber crane

i do wish i had been picked for that PNY 5080 yesterday though, that's the only thing eating at me, was only $100 more than this, but there's only three 5080s I know of under $1100

wise wigeon

if you got it cool

but the likelihood is so low

and who knows when MSI will ship so I will keep staring at telegram all day until it shows up

velvet summit

normal violet
wise wigeon
#

to put it in perspective @limber crane a 700 dollar 70 xt is only 16% more value than your card

limber crane
normal violet
#

Like I could have gotten a better deal on the TV I got last year. But it's a great TV and I'm happy with it, so it doesn't bother me that much

wise wigeon
limber crane
#

at the end of the day, i get 2-4 hours of overtime a week at work, that covers the extra i paid over msrp

wise wigeon
#

i just get an ok psu on the side

especially when its the highest end sku

#

and a special edition

normal violet
#

Even though their site sucks, I'll probably be buying more from MSI in the future. No sales tax in my state is too damn appealing

people are buying 900 dollar 70 xts rn

who needs scalpers huh?

#

honestly that pny 5080 bundle earlier was kinda nice af

#

had i needed the other stuff i woulda done it

limber crane
#

Ive been watching the prices from scalpers, they are slowly trickling down a few bucks at a time

#

This week there were 6 or 7 5070ti models up for several days and never went out of stock, $950 seems to be the breaking point for most people

wise wigeon
#

but yeah you dont gotta feel back about your gpu

#

i much rather pay what you did for a 70 ti over what people are paying for 70xts rn

limber crane
#

The endless nvidia hate (which is 100% warranted) makes it hard not to

wise wigeon
#

eh

#

let them hate

#

the vast majority of people arent having issues

limber crane
#

and knowing im overpaying for a card that underperforms the last gen that was the same price, thats the hardest part to swallow

wise wigeon
#

is about as fast as a 4080/S

#

and you still payed 100 less than that msrp

limber crane
#

the charts ive seen show 4080 beating 5070ti almost universally, weren't they the same price?

wise wigeon
#

4080 was 1200 at launch

#

the super was 1000

limber crane
#

oh interesting

wise wigeon
#

barely anyone got them for msrpp like that

#

and the super came out last year

limber crane
#

If I ever move to 4k the gap does get a bit bigger, especially if you get a good bin and can undervolt the 9070 like crazy

wise wigeon
#

the 5070 ti is probably better for OCing

#

idk some people are putting crazy undervolt numbers but i just think they havent stress tested them enough

#

i tried -70 and it crashed in the wilds bench

#

havent tested -65 or 60 but i just sat a -50 because i knew it was already stable

#

some people are saying they;re stable on -125

#

i think thats a load of crap

limber crane
#

That's one other factor for me, I may not even bother OC'ing now. Whereas with the XT I feel like undervolting would have essentially been mandatory

worthy meteor
#

I had like -105mv stable enough for time spy but crashed 5 min into any game

#

I'm sitting on mostly stock now, uv isn't really that necessary

sturdy pivot
#

who a big youtuber with over 30k subs i need to borrow it i can pay after using it

wise wigeon
#

temps worry me a bit for memory but a undervolt really didnt help

#

core boost really doesnt seem to affect much ngl

#

its the memory that seems more important

#

but I rather not mess with memory that casually sits in mid to high 80s already

storm umbra
#

Should I get ryzen 7 9700x or 7 9800x3d, the problem is, its 190 dollars more for me, im in the usa btw

#

Is it worth it?

wise wigeon
#

are you 4k?

storm umbra
#

Should i be using 4k?

wise wigeon
#

not really the benefit evaporates at 4k

storm umbra
#

Im planning on 1440p i think

#

Thats the monitor im getting

wise wigeon
#

at 4k things become very gpu bound and the work the cpu takes on is offloaded

storm umbra
#

Also getting a 9070xt

wise wigeon
#

1440p is the sweet spot for the 70xt imo

storm umbra
#

Should i just get a normal 9700x ?

#

Or is it worth the price for the x3d

wise wigeon
#

without frame gen i get like 100-120 fps in mh wilds

#

fsr4 quality

#

i just turn fg on for that locked 144 fps

frigid stag
wise wigeon
#

what games do you play?

storm umbra
#

I play fallout 4, returnal, red dead 2, hogwarts legacy, minecraft with like 500 mods, terraria(modded)

#

A few more i cant think of on my head rn

#

Also vr games

wise wigeon
#

i would say most of those would benefit more from a beefy gpu than an x3d cpu

#

but if you have the money for it and it wont hurt

storm umbra
#

But the 9700 isnt bad?

#

Is it worth getting

wise wigeon
#

minecraft is a bit absurd with the x3d i was like 1200 fps on base minecraft

storm umbra
#

Jesus

wise wigeon
#

its not much faster than a 770x

#

7700x*

#

which is generally cheaper

#

but if the diff is like 20-30 bucks

#

mhe

storm umbra
#

Yeah

wise wigeon
#

i assume you're looking at the microcenter bundles

storm umbra
#

Nope

#

Im looking on amazon

#

I dont live close enough to microcenter

#

Im in seattle

#

Closest one is in california

#

The gas prices alone would be more than the price of a 9700x

^bundles

wise wigeon
limber crane
#

lol wtf

wise wigeon
#

but its whatever the rme is fine

limber crane
#

there's even a 2 gpu bundle, wtf is that

storm umbra
#

Jesus christ those prices

wise wigeon
#

i mean

#

thats not bad?

#

you could buy that bundle and pretty easily sell the other gpu

limber crane
# storm umbra Jesus christ those prices

this is where the market is at, if you're patient enough you can get a card on its own for $770, or if you're mega lucky one of the cheaper ones but youll need to be perpetually online

#

ive been perpetually online since launch and havent had a chance at any of the sub $720 cards

wise wigeon
#

oh these bundles are up rn?

limber crane
#

yep

storm umbra
#

This isnt a bad deal?

#

Right?

tender veldt
#

GPU prices are super high if you can hold off till supply catches up do so

limber crane
storm umbra
#

Lol

#

Probably

wise wigeon
#

huh some one these bundles dont have the both items must be returned tag, but i feel like thats a website bug

limber crane
#

screenshot it and take them to court

normal violet
storm umbra
#

Can I return one of the items ij the bundle

#

Like but the byndle and return the motherboard

wise wigeon
#

90 more than launch day

wise wigeon
limber crane
#

it does say this interestingly, which indicates not all bundles must be returned together

normal violet
storm umbra
#

Dangg

wise wigeon
#

i just point that the text doesnt explicitly state that

#

but i feel like wegg would engorce that

limber crane
storm umbra
#

Best buy has been keeping msrp btw

limber crane
#

It's vague, but still gives me the impression not all combos are subject to both needing to be returned

limber crane
storm umbra
#

For the xfx model black

wise wigeon
storm umbra
#

Nah they restocked the non xt at least 5 times today

#

Was bought out really quick tho

limber crane
#

no one cares about the non xt lol

storm umbra
#

Some ppl do

limber crane
#

newegg has cards near original pricing, but they put them all in bundles lmao

storm umbra
#

Those are out of stock thio

limber crane
#

yep, same as what u said about best buy

#

the msrp cards are less than 1% chance of being obtained anytime soon

storm umbra
#

So do i have to buy it at a higher price?

limber crane
#

you dont HAVE to do anything

storm umbra
#

I feel like waiting is dumb

#

Well i want this gpu

wise wigeon
#

so it seems like the premade combos are a all or nothing

#

but the like combos you make like when they let you select more items to get a discount

limber crane
# storm umbra Well i want this gpu

the more you spend the less value you get, so you have to make your own decision. everyone here will say the best card to get is the one closest to MSRP, but MSRP is a lie so it's hard to say where it will land in a few months

wise wigeon
#

you can return?

proud jackal
#

Having such a bad day

wise wigeon
#

sadge

limber crane
storm umbra
#

How much above msrp is the gpu?

wise wigeon
#

260 dollars

#

its a premium model but

limber crane
#

isnt the MSRP of the nitro+ higher than $600 though?

wise wigeon
#

like nah fam

fresh timber
#

My head hurts like hell

wise wigeon
storm umbra
wise wigeon
#

it was 770 at launch

limber crane
#

msi 5080 for $1250, i almost went for it

rigid sinew
wise wigeon
#

is it safe to assume they do though

#

for the premade combos and not like the ones you make on your own

limber crane
#

$1250 is too much for a 5080 right lol

wise wigeon
#

unless is a balls to the wall overclocking card, i would say yes

normal violet
#

I think so, but idk if you'll be able to get one for cheaper anytime soon

limber crane
#

its the MSI Shadow OC

wise wigeon
#

thats the supposed msrp model

#

its lower than a ventus

limber crane
#

alright backing out

rigid sinew
wise wigeon
#

its not for me

normal violet
#

It is really confusing which MSI model is supposed to be MSRP

rigid sinew
acoustic palm
wise wigeon
#

shadow is a new model iirc so it would be confusing

normal violet
#

All the reviewers got the Ventus for their "msrp" model

acoustic palm
#

But I hope I don’t gotta return

wise wigeon
wise wigeon
acoustic palm
wise wigeon
limber crane
#

Shadow is one up from the Ventus, but then there's three Ventus OC models above the Shadow

normal violet
wise wigeon
#

last i check the shadow was the only msrp 5070

limber crane
#

Shadow 70ti is $750 and Ventus is $830 so opposite of the 5080

wise wigeon
#

yeah

#

for the 70s it seems to be thwt way

limber crane
#

and there's a Shadow and Shadow OC 70ti at the same price, so hard to see why you'd ever go for the non OC

normal violet
#

Because the OC probably has even less stock

limber crane
#

Vanguard 5080 is $1500 šŸ’€

wise wigeon
limber crane
#

not really, gamers have money

#

and GPU goes brrr for AI

wise wigeon
#

what i mean is thats 50% over msrp

digital thunder
wise wigeon
#

the 70 ti vanguard is only 20% over

limber crane
#

I think they know most people will want the 5080 since it's "better"

wise wigeon
#

well we have that answer

normal violet
wise wigeon
#

that was the review that brought attention to how good it was at OCing

#

but yeah 600 more for the same cooler and 15% more performance is bleh

normal violet
#

I was originally targeting the 5080 but the percentage markups on them is nuts

storm umbra
#

How long are these bundles gonna stay

wise wigeon

What day did you buy yours?

wise wigeon

any chance you can extract a full list of detected hw in it?

tranquil pebble
#

RT isnt the problem, the overreliance on DLSS and related tech is

rancid juniper
#

yea that might be one of the biggest reasons

tranquil pebble
#

RT can be used in a non-performance destructive way.

#

Look at Persona 3 Reload for example

rancid juniper
#

with other technologies like tesselation of the past their focus was pure raster

chrome mirage
#

Didn't Forza use raytraced sound or something

tranquil pebble
#

I suspect some games are going totally overboard on the RT usage ngl

rancid juniper
#

they should definitely focus on encouraging pure optimization + adding more rasterized performance before tackling Ai related stuff

rancid juniper
#

šŸ˜‚

tranquil pebble
rancid juniper
chrome mirage
rancid juniper
#

its funny how some games are brute forcing RT to replace raster and yet most if not all cards in the market can run them at playable framerates

#

its laughable

#
  • they're dummy expensive
#

so whats the point?

rancid juniper
misty sparrow

man wtf its actually REAL?

How are they going to turn light into sound?

tranquil pebble

lol they really think this slop is worth that much

misty sparrow

ā€œOh yes, I can hear lightā€

rancid juniper
honest birch
#

the game when you play it is raster

rancid juniper
#

think there is

honest birch
#

dunno abt mods

chrome mirage
honest birch
#

just a better sound engine

#

basically

rancid juniper
#

ye FH5 runs stock raster when racing

honest birch
#

it looks more than good enough without RT idk why youd need it in the first place

rancid juniper
#

there are games where their lighting is just that good without RT

honest birch
#

ik

rancid juniper
#

and RT still has its issues aside from performance

#

its annoying

chrome mirage
#

I still like the original a lot better than 5. The cars looked good in that one anyways
