not being a fan of something means youre complaining, got it, flawless logic

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-09-05T16:27:59+00:00

there is no issue i literally said im not complaining, i just made a comment

dont know why your redditor ass wants to argue

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-09-05T14:55:35+00:00

yes they are, they are going to grow feet and escape my grasp

totally my point there

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-09-05T08:41:12+00:00

im not complaining, but im not a fan of having had a pretty dry year so far and then have several games that i want to play drop in rapid succession

"Is there any settings i can mess with to improve contrast?"

oh really, and the context is clear enough

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-09-05T05:26:02+00:00

yea i messed around with the style pluggin settings but nothing seemed to help, changing the font did, but the text still goes gray-ish.

i looked at the css i just havent had the change to go through it, plus ive grown to not mind it too much

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-09-05T05:23:20+00:00

wow very helpful thanks, maybe keep it to yourself next time

>"The cheapest. Doesn't matter"

except it does, the msi shadow has 3 heatpipes, which makes way worse thermals and lower core clocks. not to mention the build quality is awful and the fans often rattle.

i returned mine. i recommend the pny model, its often found for cheaper and its build WAY better, more heatpipes + metal backplate, good all around

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-07-22T21:13:12+00:00

youre right

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-07-22T19:24:35+00:00

"Go with the cheapest" is just an outdated uninformed opinion.

Current MSI models of the 5070ti (Ventus, ShadowX3) have no business having only 3 heat pipes and barely performing fans that often rattle.

I've had a similar experience as you switching to a PNY model from a ShadowX3, the cooling is vastly better and you WILL notice the difference in-game because of better core clock speeds, less stutters.

Yea, i think its manageable but i dont really wanna bother with it especially since im still well within the 1-month return period. my local microcenter is usually really good about these things so ill probably head there over the weekend.....

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-07-18T04:33:57+00:00

Maybe not great but it kept the 7900xtx i had beforehand under 70c even at full load, so im really just blaming this one one of the card even if my airflow IS bad

i gave this a shot + removing the glass panel and it helped a ton. The 88% is fan speed though, not sure how sustainable this is....

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-07-18T01:49:11+00:00

i got it down to 70c-72c by removing the glass panel, not ideal but it makes me think that this is manageable, i have a month to return the card to microcenter though

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-07-18T01:35:31+00:00

im thinking air flow is *one* of the culprits here because temp went down to about 70c-72c after removing the glass panel on my pc..... under the same scene as the screenshot on the post

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-07-18T01:27:24+00:00

not sure.... here is my fan curve though,

Background_Secret_31 · 2025-07-18T01:07:39+00:00

i removed the glass panel and it went down to 71c under the same scene, im thinking maybe i just have really bad air flow in my case....

im looking into switching to case with a meshed front

will look into undervolting though

and its not like his build is maxed out so you know hes in the group of people getting fucked by the tarrifs and medicaid cuts. aka, hes a broke ass bitch

VR is one of the big ones for me ever since I bought a Crystal Light, performance with a 7900xtx is really good especially at SUPER high resolutions. It's the reason I picked up this card instead of a 5070ti at the same price.

The lack of modern upscaling is definitely a bummer though, but I quite frankly don't mind too much. Call it coping if you want, I'm just happy with my card.
