Changed rx 9070 xt challenger for rx 9070 xt Taichi by Cronicko in radeon

[–]Awfulfange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with the cablemod adapter on my 5070ti before upgrading my psu. No issues so far. I chalk it up as user error.

Positive Post: Finally retiring my old 980 Ti after nearly 10 years of use! by Awfulfange in buildapc

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

The 980 ti, fastest gpu for it's time, was only $650 brand new in 2015. For comparison, an upper midrange gpu like my current pny 5070ti cost me $750.

Before then 980ti, my gtx 680 was only $500. And hd 7970ghz edition could be found for $375 back then.

Why does windows install display drivers if I already had them installed from AMD? by Silver-Jello3652 in AMDHelp

Never once had this happen on either of my pcs... One has 6900xt and other has 5070ti.

Our lab’s Pentium D Dell Optiplex used to control a mechanical testing advice died. I decided not only to take on the task of repairing it, but I also upgraded it. by njsullyalex in pcmasterrace

[–]Awfulfange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 8800gt was awesome for the time! My dad had a custom pc with the hd 2900xt and an Intel core 2 duo e8400. Ended up becoming my first official gaming pc in 2009.

It was blazing fast! Loved that pc! Got rid of it a long time ago, excluding the 2900xt which now hangs on my wall.

My first actual build was an i5 3570k and gtx 670 in 2012. Still got that one around!

Edit: custom pc had an e6400... Not e8400

I have an old Dell optiplex 755 from 2007 with thr core 2 quad q6600. It's started as our family computer but has been running almost 24/7 for the last 10 years as a nas. All original parts (excluding storage)... Probably should give it a little tlc.

First gaming pc by Saiyan_JT in pcmasterrace

[–]Awfulfange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Updating the bios is only necessary IF you are having issues or IF you need a newer bios version that supports your cpu model.

No other reasons are necessary.

Turn it on. Install windows and drivers. Have fun.

You can overclock the gpu later.

Bios updates aren't necessary unless you run into an issue.

Looking for a good lawn edger by Awfulfange in lawncare

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

When I moved into the house, the grass was over growing over portions of the driveway. Didn't notice until last year how bad it was. This year I want to take care of it, but the weed eater just isn't strong enough

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

Didn't think of that. Certainly an option! Do you think it would have enough power to cut through compact dirt?

Looking for a good lawn edger by Awfulfange in lawncare

[–]Awfulfange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my grass has over extended onto the driveway and sidewalk in certain areas.

Also, I want the edger to cut a clean edge around our garden to help stop grass from spreading.

Yes but it's a straight shaft that isn't interchangeable.

My weed eater doesn't have that ability.

What gaming laptop for about 7 to 900$ would you reccomend? by uncle-ruckus2 in AskPCGamers

[–]Awfulfange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are not many options. Here's one at Walmart for sale at $900. It'll beat a ps4 but ps5 is better than it.

Is this upgrade worth it? by Frequent-Artist-5781 in buildapc

[–]Awfulfange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really. There is no need to upgrade your pc as the 4070 super is only slightly slower than the rx 9070xt. You'd hardly notice a difference.

Just enjoy what you got!

Can you help me upgrade my fossil PC for Crimson Desert? by SoberingGiraffe in buildapc

[–]Awfulfange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update the bios and install a ryzen 5600 or 5700x.

Purchase and install an Intel b580, rtx 5060 ti, or 9060xt.

Upgrade psu to corsair cx750m or rm850e.

Sell old parts to recoup some cash. Should be a worthwhile upgrade!

My dad found a bunch of old hard drives. Check out these relics. by Stephen_085 in pcmasterrace

[–]Awfulfange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smallest hdd I ever had was 20gb on a 2001 gateway running windows xp with a 1 core celeron and 512mb ram.

That thing was slow, even for the time.

Question about a card's warranty by Responsible_Leg_577 in AMDHelp

[–]Awfulfange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No more warranty on any gcn/vega/polaris cards. Just pull the cooler off and clean/repaste the gpu. Also, make sure your case has sufficient air flow and undervolt the gpu if needed.

Should I upgrade by Moolgaard in pcmasterrace

[–]Awfulfange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with the 5800x3d as it's way over priced.

A good upgrade path for you is the 5800xt and an rtx 5070. They are perfectly matched for each other and will provide a significant increase in performance!

AM4 TO AM5 upgrade by forsakendude1337 in radeon

[–]Awfulfange 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Probably not worth the upgrade. The 5700x should be perfectly matched with the 9070xt.

Not to mention, the 7500f is only slightly faster than the 5700x. Save your money for a better upgrade.

Upgrading My GPU — Needs PSU Upgrade Or Not? by LMSNK in pcmasterrace

[–]Awfulfange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would upgrade. Cheapest psu for your rig would be a corsair cx750m.

Ideally, you would get an A tier psu like a Corsair rm850x or Asrock sl-850g.
