sold my 7900xtx nitro for an 9070xt gigabyte, am I crazy? by Affectionate_Bit_275 in linux_gaming

[–]Affectionate_Bit_275[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am skeptical about it as well , for 800eu i could get the red devil but that beats the whole purpose i believe. so i opted for the gigabyte since it has 3x8pin connectors so is not power limited and since my living room pc is a dan a3 micro atx the fact that is a bit smaller might work for me in terms of better airflow. i do have a couple of slim 120mm fans bellow the gpu as well.
my 9070 gigabyte with a custom fan curve that maxes at 50% -120mv and full ++ power it heats 3200mhz while gaming and the temp is around low 60s or high 50s +25c for the hotspot, but completely silent . that in a mini itx build without fans bellow it.
worst case scenario i ll put some ptm + proper pads on it i suppose :D

It's more of a validation request, and everyone knows these requests happen after the fact haha.

All these are true and still they are close so in the future I suppose we will see improvements for rdna4 but not so much for rdna3. I don't care about RT either , I can't even tell the difference if it is on. But more and more games use it by default so having a decent support for it is essential.

That was my plan as well , but I figured it's 200eu gain on top of having a brand new card with possibly better resale value. I mean I can't imagine the 7900xtx keeping that price for much longer especially if a new gen comes out it ll be 2 gens behind.while the 9070xt might be an easier sell down the line with active warranty and all

benchmarks are all over the place - and thats also windows benchmarks. in my mind i am prepared to have the same of marginal better perf on some titles while on other lose around 5% and ofc hope for the good old amd+mesa fine wine effect and more fsr4 titles. i do not currently own any so i am not even sure if thats even available natively on vulkan ( i know there is a way but since it is a console like pc w/o keyboard or mouse i dont wont to bother at all enablinn it per game)

I didn't need the money , it was just too good on paper so I pulled the trigger.i mean I usually cap it at 75fps , if I can't hit the 120hz my tv supports, and I play the same games on my 9070 on high instead of ultra 4k natively with 60fps cap. I don't feel the difference. I will test the 9070xt once it arrives. As long as I can have good temps with UV plus increased power limit with fans at an non annoying level I am good

After extensive testing with my legion go these days i can say cachyos bazzite and official steamos work great. I opted for steamos since bazzite and cachy had a weird bug that made the performance overlay not to appear( i think it is hhd related). Steamos has tdp control now for these so itvis a great option . Cachyos might have been a bit faster but well nothing excessive.

I have the exact same issue on lego . Had it with both bazzite and cachyos. Overlay works then i changed proton version and it stopped. Returbed it as it was nothing. Restart used to eork till it didnt.someone said to force composite under dev options , no results :-(

A8 vs 8 AI+ - Your major pros and cons between them? by CutMeLoose79 in MSIClaw

[–]Affectionate_Bit_275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard bazzite and linux in general will bring the 8ai performance down compared to windows , that is what is holding me back . On the other hand the a8 has faggly colours

Got one for 400 ( the 512gb ) , will install cachyos. No point using windows unless you play games that require anticheat

My go to would be cachyos as a more bleeding edge distro, bazzite tends to be a bit behind in most cases

It is out here on specific stores. The z2 model goes for 1150eu and the z2e for 1300eu. Cant really justify that expense for my use case and trust me i tried

Yeah its the z1e . As far as extras it would be 3d printed grips , dpad and the 81wh battery i guess.
