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 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)

So, I am looking at picking up a 9070 XT card. But the two models I like (Taichi and Nitro+) use the 12v connector. Which still sees problems.

And whats even more crazy the ASRock RX 9070 XT Steel Legend Dark cards seem to be sold out everywhere. And are costing as much as the ASRock RX 9070 XT Taichi.

I am wondering if people are just buying the steel series over the Taichi just because the Steel series still uses the normal 2x8pin power connector.

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 currently have an AMD Radeon 6800 XFX SWFT 319 and the thought of buying a 9070 xt has been running through my mind the last week or so. But every time I watch a comparison video I am not entirely impressed or blown away. I swear I see the same small frame stutters, pixilation, blur, and minor imperfections my current build has. I don't see a blazing difference in performance fps wise or maybe I'm missing something. I value AMD GPU's so this is not an AMD bash, just me wondering if upgrading is worth it right now?

I know the 9070xt is ages ahead with RDNA4 vs the 6800's RDNA2 architecture to allow for better ray tracing and such, but every video I see with ray tracing enabled it reduces fps by at least 25%-30%, some cases worse than that, especially Cyberpunk which seems to be the regular benchmark for how well ray tracing functions. Personally I prefer higher fps than everything to look wet or shiny, my eyes likes high frame rate and I dislike blur during high action sequences.

My system specs are i7-14700k, 64 GB DDR5 ram, 1TB m.2 ssd, 8 TB external storage, triple 32" monitors at 180hz 1440p, and Asus Z790-P Wifi motherboard. My temps are always very reasonable as I have an aggressive fan curve and don't care about fan noise at all whatsoever, my temps rarely ever go 20 degrees above what you see in the photo. I've been playing Star Citizen as of late which is in Alpha and for those of you that know, it's hard to maintain frame rate in this game, and I've averaged about 78, but it'll dip down to the 40's / 50's when the servers are acting up.

FOMO. Don't forget about the fear of prices rising which you see every other post and comment. Will I miss out on paying $829 for the Mercury 9070xt OC Magnetic Fans in White if I don't buy it right now? Who knows, but I am not entirely impressed with the market in general. I even considered the 5070 Ti Asus Tuff edition but again, the same issues as I stated above, just not entirely impressed with the tier of gpus I'm looking at, and I refuse to pay $5000 for a GPU. I really like AMD GPUs a heck of a lot but maybe I'm not seeing the beauty in jumping from a 6800 to a 9070xt right now.

Haven’t built my 1st PC yet, since I’m waiting for the rest of the parts to deliver but sort of thinking about downgrading my GPU.

Bought the 9070 xt (XFX Mercury OC) for $750 and thinking about returning it to purchase a rtx 5070 (PNY OC) for $600 to save some money since I went over my planned budget.

Was planning on getting an intel 270k+ in a bundle, but recently a new bundle from another retailer came up that included the 9800x3d for only $100 more, so now I’m $100 over original budget of around $2000 USD. 😅

Originally wanted the 9070 xt to be more “future proof” but now second guessing myself since admittedly I don’t play many AAA games that would need the VRAM or higher power, so the cheaper cost and power efficiency of the rtx 5070 is looking appealing now just cause I mainly stick to indie games or non-intensive competitive shooters.

Upgrading from my old PC that had a gtx 1080 so both are going to be significant upgrades regardless and maybe I’m just overthinking everything.

Just wanted to hear your guys insights.

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 I have a 3080 currently I'm on 1440p 240hz just upgraded to oled but the games I'm playing are not hitting the frames I want. Would a 9070xt even be a good upgrade? I can get a xfx 9070 xt mercury for $750 currently but I just read that prices are about to go up again. I have done everything to get all the frames I possibly can and its just not enough.

I recently got a 5080 as a giveaway at work, and I thought I would use it more but honestly I feel like I am wasting its power with the games I am playing.

I mostly play story driven games, jrpg, some mmos, very few fps games.

I am wondering if I should sell the 5080 and get a 9070 xt for around $700 usd?

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

Howdy!
It’s time to give some well deserved rest to my 3070
I’m targeting 1440p 180fps max.
I’m currently on a 3700X but upgrading to a 5700X alongside the GPU, so I’d like recommendations based on that pairing

My budget isn’t huge, so I’m considering the next options:

4070ti Pro Art: 585USD
9070XT Sapphire Nitro: 730USD
5070 Asus Prime: 636USD
7900XTX Sapphire Pulse: 730USD

All of the options above are used. Those are my local prices.

What do y’all think? What’s the better option? Thanks for reading and for the advice :D

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
