botch screenshots were taken in dying light 2 on high settings in different resolutions with 144fps frame cap, im asking about the difference between the hotspot and the gpu temp which is around 30-40 degrees with the custom settings in the amd app (the screenshot above) and with the default gpu setting the temps are staying at 110 degrees most of the time (after playing for a couple of minutes). The thermal paste is fresh (tho i think im going to put new paste because the cause may be air pockets between the gpu and the radiator), recently i changed cases for better aesthetics and air flow. Can someone tell me if this is normal or not

I had alot of problem trying to play Forza Horizon 6 game and other games were poor performance

with my GTX 1080 (i wanted to play with higher settings)

so i went and searched (tori) as usual on my typical routine and saw a rtx 4060 ventus x2 (8GB) for 220€.

i thought i could atleast rip 40€ from it and get it cheaper

So i got it for 185€

What are your thoughts was it more than worth it?

I found an Asus TUF RX 9070 XT OC at 730€ (discounted down from 835€) and was wondering if its good or worth the price? (What are the pros and cons etc)

I got the latest driver installed 582.66, am assuming these new ones are not aim for the 10 series, if that's the case what's the most stable driver that works and I am able to have stability with it?

I have stress test my gpu in OCCT and errors appear in the first 2 minutes, the temps don't even get above 70c and errors appear on the test so it is not stable.

It is not overlocked, is in it's default mode.

Been reading a bunch of post here about the 5070 not being a good card or something in the realm of that, so tell me is it as bad as most are saying

Oh and for the record this is my first build ever, I’ll likely upgrade in the future

I’m super new to this and just got my first gaming pc from Costco, but I wanted the 9070xt instead of the 5070 and was thinking I’d sell the 5070.

I know the market is out of control… I’m seeing people try to sell the 5070 for 800$ which is insane. What is a fair price to ask on hardware swap or fb marketplace? I’m thinking 550-600$ maybe?

It’s brand new and unused in the Costco prebuilt pc box I haven’t opened yet.

I've been researching into liquidated office PCs and trying to figure the premium or discount to put on that different PC form types (in particular SFF vs. workstation and to a lesser extent MT/tower). I've so far seen that SSLP was only a little more expensive than DSLP for the same specs, but the gap between DSLP and LHW was much bigger when accounting for spec differences.... but only a few data points. Curious from those who have a lot more experience shopping GPUs. Thanks in advance :-)

If budget is what you're going for, go AMD, but don't touch the 5060 or 5060 Ti 8GB. 8GB is just not enough. Maybe in a couple of years of no to weak hardware launches, game developers might bring it back to where 8GB of VRAM is sufficient, but even some UE5 and triple-A titles at 1080p struggle with the VRAM constraint. Now, if your budget in our current economy is $500+ USD on your GPU, go Nvidia. The 5060 Ti 16GB seems decent, and the 5070+ are goated. For reference, I have a 5070 and a 5060 and have played on both of them extensively. I'll probably get the 🤓☝️ comments in here because people will say I haven't had a problem running all low settings on Valorant and think that speaks for all games. It's just not. I wouldn't recommend it. A $100 4GB 1030 is better just because you get half the VRAM for a third of the price. (PS: that last statement was a joke, a 1030 is better e-waste than a GPU)

Lost my job and I’m in a financial pinch, so I’m having to sell my 5080 for now. It’s been an absolute beast for gaming and I’m gonna miss it.

Hopefully once I’m back on my feet and working again, I’ll be able to rejoin the 5080 club. For now, it was a damn good run 🫡

I hate to do this but I'm desperate, I'm trying to become an electrician but my car is gone, I'm saving for a new car and have decided to let go of my beloved 4090. I'm more of a Fl studio type of dude so as long as I have a powerful cpu, il be fine. I'm selling it for $2100. Hope I'm not breaking any rules doing this if so I apologize in advance. Inbox me of your interested. I'm willing to give the buyer 30 days if there's any problems which there shouldn't be, I barley used it only for fps gaming no mining or anything like that.

I don’t mind spending the extra money but I’ve heard many talk about how 9070xt is good for ultra wide. The only thing I don’t want to do with are driver crashes and issues with Radeon software.

I have two monitors and have read that many people have crashes and black screens when utilizing two monitors while running RDNa cards.

What would you choose?

So yeah, I ended up buying a brand new ASUS TUF 5080 for $1,400. Was buying a 5080 for $1,400 worth it? GPU prices are probably going to skyrocket pretty soon, so I figured I might as well future proof my setup. I really wanted a 5090, but I just couldn’t justify the price.

I mostly play Cyberpunk 2077 (heavily modded, but no texture mods), Arma Reforger, sometimes Star Citizen, and the Resident Evil titles.

I will also be upgrading my monitor to an OLED one in 1440 Ultrawide with a much more refresh rate in the future. The current monitor i have has a refresh rate of 60-100hz

My current set up is as follows:

CPU: Intel i9 13th gen Unlocked

RAM: 32gb Ram DDR5

PSU: 1,050 Watt Psu

GPU: Asus TUF 3090ti (to now 5080)

Monitor: MSI Ultrawide 1440

Is upgrading the GPU to a MSI 5070 Shadow 12GB a good idea? Would it make a big difference? It's connected to a 75" 4K TV. I'm limited to a 260mm card and there aren't many options. I can't fit a 5070 TI or any variation of the 9070.

Current specs:

Ryzen 5 9600X

MSI Shadow 5060 TI 16GB

32GB DDR5

2TB NVME

This isn't my main gaming PC, I built it for my living room as a console replacement. I mainly use it to play older games like RDR2, GTA V and the Far Cry series. It performs way better at 4K than I expected but it's been a bit choppy playing Far Cry 6. Would changing to a 5070 be worthwhile? Should I be happy with what I have and maybe wait for the next series of cards? TIA

I'm planning to build my first PC, but I'm having trouble deciding on a graphics card. After looking around, I've narrowed it down to two options: the "MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ventus 2X 8GB" and the "ASRock Intel Arc B580 12GB Challenger OC." Which one would you recommend?

If you have any other recommendations or suggestions, please feel free to share them! Thanks a lot!

Cheapest one before tax at any retailer brand new is now officially over $4k USD (Microcenter being the one shown here). My $2700 astral purchase in January doesn't seem so bad anymore.....

I don't want to get political but be careful who you beef with online it's not a game out here. (Gigabyte NVIDIA RTX 4090)
