Every brand has pretty mediocre warranty/support. PNY isn't bad quality or anything though. They are one of the more competent ones imo, they make a lot of the pro cards for nvidia.

You know that's basically double the price of a 5070ti for +15% if you're lucky.

It's microcenter so it should be fine. I don't know why it would sit in stock open box at that price. I'd expect someone to have bought it immediately.

really?

bitter ridge
#

Except that every other gpu aged worse I think

upper rain
bitter ridge
#

Xtx aged the worst lol

upper rain
#

not really lol, it's still stronger than 4080 and was like 40% less expensive

bitter ridge
#

It is harder to justify a higher end gpu with crap feature set

upper rain
#

XTX was competing with 4070 ti/ti Super on price for most of the product generation. anybody who got an XTX over either of those cards is laughing to the bank

#

if you paid the $1000 MSRP they barely ever sold for, then sure that was an awful deal

#

likewise with 7900 xt, they were always available for $700-750, right in line with 4070 ti

#

it took 4070 Super to drop 4070 ti performance to a kinda okay price tier relative to Radeon offerings, but by that summer the 7900 XTX was $600 regularly, let alone the XT non X

#

really the only time not to buy a radeon was the very end of the generation, about 6 months after 4070 ti Super released. because at that point you could get basically a 4080 for $800, and RDNA 3 had finally stabilized back at MSRP due to lower volume of production

#

Radeon definitely lost that generation, but not for lack of value. they just marketed the cards badly with horrible names and awful MSRPs that they never honoured

bitter ridge
#

And they will keep losing if value is the only thing they can offer

upper rain
#

clearly not, RDNA 4 is doing great. they're getting closer to feature set parity, but not much closer relative to RDNA3 vs Ada Lovelace. RDNA 4 is simply radically better value

bitter ridge
#

lol

upper rain
#

RDNA 5 is the make or break imo. it's a Mark Cerny architecture so i'm betting it'll be a homerun on performance and die efficiency. the only question is whether they actually break through with competive software or if they squander their hardware design again

upper rain
#

6 of the top 10 GPU sellers on Newegg right now are radeons. one is a $3800 5090 and one is a B70, neither of which are super relevant to GamerZ™️

that's 6/8 radeon

dusk knot

Hhmm

The 4080 super would have been a much better buy than an xtx

there was an entire summer that it was available for $650

#

then you clearly weren't looking very hard lol

#

No i genuinely think ur misremembering things

#

If the xtx was really selling for 600

#

Then it would have sold an insane amt of numbers

#

Unless u mean the 7900xt

upper rain
#

neither Ada or RDNA 3 sold well, 7900 XTX was pretty regularly below $800, the lowest i saw was $600 for a few days. it was $650-700 in and out of stock for an entire summer a few years ago

#

i nearly bought one but opted to wait for 4070 ti super (bad choice)

upper rain
rancid juniper
#

XTX is a pretty good card and has enough power to brute force good performance on hard to run titles, but its feature set hits a brick wall. Atleast it can run FSR 4 (INT8 version) rather well

Thats like what the 7900gre used to cost

its crazy how expensive the XTX is now

ended up going with the GeForce for features and utterly loathed the card. now i have a 7900 XT and it performs like a 5080 because i feed it 700w forwardfacingpepe

bitter ridge
#

I was disappointed with fsr 4 game support on 9070xt so I had to pivot mid gen to 5090

pliant berry
#

ah I got it. had to enable scripts to access files

upper rain
#

FSR4 support is bad

#

radeon needs to do better. at the same time optiscaler takes like 2 minutes to set up

bitter ridge
#

They made the purchase more worth it since then with stuff like 6x mfg

#

Can't really take full advantage of it since my monitor is only 360hz

upper rain
#

FG is already quite questionable... MFG is a bad solution in search of a nonexistant problem

#

if you like it then that's great, but you're definitely the outlier

bitter ridge
#

More fluidity and better motion clarity

upper rain
#

better motion clarity kekw

#

definitely more fluidity... but i'd argue that 3x Dall E's for every frame is not conducive to clarity of any kind

let alone higher ratios

I rather take the experience on the right

Still no reflex 2

pliant berry
#

For more detail oriented games I always opt for no upscaling or frame gen rather than the high frame rates. but yes I am often running at ~40fps with many stutters

unreal trail

I upscale for resolution, but framegen always causes input lag for me

bitter ridge
#

Hope you mean dlaa by native otherwise you are doing yourself a disservice

pliant berry

if I was running 4k or above I would probably use upscaling just cuz I ain't paying crazy money for a gpu but that's about it

dusk knot
#

Above 4k. Imagine

pliant berry
#

nah I always run native. and ye im planning for my next monitor to be around 5k 120hz ish

bitter ridge
#

dlaa means native rendering

#

My next monitor most likely will be a 4k360hz oled but something like that is yet to be released

pliant berry
#

"an ai-based spatial anti-aliasing technology to enhance image quality at native resolution" that ain't true native

#

i am just very anti ai, I haven't found any of these features to look anywhere near at good as if you just went without them

worn wave
#

Should TAA be considered native is another discussion I suppose

pliant berry
#

idk it's also worth noting I just don't play many if any games at all that have such features

bitter ridge
#

Lot of cutbacks are done to make realtime rendering possible at all so yeah many argue nothing is native at all

worn wave
#

I'm fine with certain games (notably single player story) chasing extreme realism, but I'm sick of multiplayer shooters sacrificing clarity and performance for flashy visuals

#

Take me back to when games were more stylized. Older COD, BF, Titanfall

bitter ridge
worn wave
#

Heck even BF1 looks great and doesn't require TAA iirc

I ordered an XFX Radeon AI PRO R9700

misty sparrow

didn't know they made productivity cards

how much was it

tranquil pebble

$1299

it has 32 GB of ECC GDDR6

very nice

tranquil pebble

the neat part is that it can do gaming quite well too, with full support for everything the 9070 XT has

Om Linux you get ECC and ROCm, and on Windows you get things like FSR 4.

so is it about as powerful as a 9070XT?

or slightly more

It's a superior gpu 😉

rancid juniper

no one should pay that much for a 16gb card

what

bitter ridge

The card usually is too weak to benefit from more then 16

rancid juniper
#

thats a lie

tranquil pebble

it depends on the workload

#

For games? Yeah more than 16 is usually overkill.

velvet summit

not really

flatscreen games sure

for blender 5080 is 3 times faster 💀

in like 5 years, them games are gonna consume 12gb+ at 1080p

These two will take basically any amount of VRAM you can give them if you want to have 1 million+ units

like Squenix is doing with FF7 Rebirth on Switch 2

or they could just make a proper port, but that means less $ for investors ig

like for example, scaling down the texture resolution. lower poly models etc

unless they need to do that on top of the DLSS in which case 💀

rancid juniper
#

Preset K on quality is the maximum I can deal with for 1080p

Anything lower and I'll have to use dlss 4.5 (preset M)

bitter ridge

Star wars outlaws probably still the best looking title on switch 2 haven't looked into it in a while

or more

isn't vram somewhat cheap to make tho?

if you built a high end PC in 2010 you probably had a GTX570 that had 1.25GB

in 2015 you would have built with a gtx970 with 4GB

How are you blaming consoles since they have more then enough memory now

olive plaza

I remember when the RX480 8GB launched. in 2016.

grand kernel
#

512-bit bus lol

olive plaza
#

and that was $229

rancid juniper
#

consoles run on unified memory

elfin mural
#

512-bit bus and 8 gigs

#

those are two terms we don't hear together anymore

olive plaza
#

8GB was on midrange cards in 2016

rancid juniper
#

RX 570/580 8GB

#

goated cards

olive plaza
#

hot take

grand kernel
#

I mean it's the companies' fault that 8gb is still relevant, not the consumers

elfin mural
#

but to be honest, gddr7 at 128-bit offers good enough bandwidth for midrange gpus

olive plaza
#

90% of the reason why the 1080Ti was the GOAT for such a long time was because the midrange cards still had 8GB so 1080Ti was still ahead of that

elfin mural
#

i just wish they'd stop with 8 gigs and go further

olive plaza
#

for way longer than 1080Ti should have been relevant

grand kernel
#

can't blame consumers for buying the cards that are avaliable to them

rancid juniper

jensen2

#

hahahahahah

bitter ridge

It was also a brief period games were stagnant

elfin mural
#

with the level of performance i've been gaming with, the 1080ti is still relevant to me

#

would i get it now? nah

#

but that kinda perf to me is indeed still viable

olive plaza
#

I'm awaiting delivery on an rx6800 non XT

#

this will be my primary card

#

this was a 16GB GPU that launched in 2020 and cost $579

elfin mural
#

if only nvidia made a 3060ti 12gb back then

#

i think the neutered bus width wouldn't matter too much

opaque sedge
bitter ridge
#

Hope 5070 doesn't age like 3070 did

elfin mural
#

12 gigs is okay with me

#

honestly i find 12 to be a decent spot that would last for a while

#

16 would be nicer but the current games can run 12gb just fine

bitter ridge
#

At least for now 5070 does a good job of targeting 4k output

rancid juniper
#

minimum vram req
12gb - 60 class
16gb - 70 class
20gb - 80 class
24gb+ - 90 class

#

should've been like this atleast

opaque sedge

Strongly agree with the rest tho

elfin mural
#

32 is just overkill for a gaming card though

bitter ridge
#

48gb 6090 with at least 80% uplift over 5090

Hopefully that wish comes true

opaque sedge
#

Doubt most people buy 5090s for gaming tho

elfin mural

i mean it's nice and all, but the excess vram will just end up being wasted

it was the only 2060 model I know of that took an 8pin PCIe

@elfin mural here's an interesting one. TU106 is the chip NVIDIA used for RTX2070 and 2060 Super. It's the same chip which also made the RTX2060 12GB... it wound up cut down, from its 2060 12GB iteration, in half. And they made a GTX1650 out of the leftovers.
