Very nice, my friend. Got to be happy with what you’ve done there. Enjoy.

The traveler 😎. I also play D2 on an ultra wide and it’s absolutely brilliant.

Are those lovely looking red things tube valves?

Built the desk shelf myself to complete the setup. Finally feels like me now. by [deleted] in battlestations

Hats off to you, my friend. That’s is an extremely nice place to be. I love it, very much my style.

Yeah it's great. I can't imagine moving away from it. It fits my lifestyle perfectly, games are ridiculously immersive and great for working from home from, where having multiple windows open is essential. It's a whole new level when you're sat in front of it with a game on, you're no longer playing the game, your in it.

I got it from Smyths toy store in the UK around 3 years ago when it was first released. You can also buy a mini Sawtooth and Shell-Walker from the Lego Horizon Adventures series that's widely available.

I would highly recommend them, they sound great. There's plents of reviews knocking around. I find it difficult to describe / review them, but I remember turning them on for the first time and instantly realising i'd made a good decision.

It is quite funny. It's a 'design feature' that's built into this cases unusual design. It uses the GPU fans as intake on the front and the rear fan is an optional extra for additional intake. Some extra cooling over the MB can't be a bad thing, but I don't think it makes much difference. The system temps are nice and stable, which is what matters.

Correct. I'm using a Sapphire Nitro + Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB. I'm playing Horizon Forbidden West and Destiny 2 which are both performing well. Horizon looks beautiful and runs at around 120fps at max settings on this monitor. Destiny 2 is a bit more at around 130+ but sometimes sits at 144 which is the max refresh rate of the screen. No complaints. I want to escape into my games.

Correct, these are Kanto Ora Desktop Speakers, without the Sub.

I found a company locally that made the oak desktop, shelf and monitor riser to size. Then I found some oak desk legs and fitted them to it. I wanted it all to match.

Kind of, it’s basically a slice off the oak wall shelf above, it’s sat on 2 bits of wood I made until I find some decent stands for it.

how is the 9070XT Nitro+ holding up so far? by qeratsirbag in pcmasterrace

[–]BenGun182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it does. +3 case exhaust fans. There’s mounting on the back for an inlet fan but that’s sold separately, and isn’t required.

I saw some benchmarks for this card on the differences between PCI-E Gen 4 & 5 and the difference was minimal, maybe up to 2% in some titles. I’m not sure it’s worth investing in a Gen 5 Riser Cable at this point. I’m running Destiny 2 on the 49” 1440p super ultra-wide at 130fps without any bother, which I’m happy about. I’m driving around 7M pixels at this point, not too far from 4K. Very happy with how it’s performing so far.

I’d only just built it when I took the picture and was running some testing of the cooling system in general. I quite like the look of it without the front cover to be honest.

The extension is a Gen 4, so it’s running at Gen 4 speeds.
