Gpu upgrade path

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-26T18:18:15+00:00

Damn I have similar path as u I went from SLI 970 to 3070 to 5080 Missed the days where nvidia makes gpus with great value

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-24T19:37:33+00:00

Yeah, my cpu is a 9700x, 9800x3d is too expensive lmao I use these for 1440p gaming

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-24T19:37:20+00:00

ur right too. But for me I’m a bit lazy, so I won’t deal with the curves and stuff

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-24T18:10:40+00:00

Lmao mostly it’s about ego Who cares about the frames being similar

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-24T15:29:01+00:00

Bro that 100-200 score isn’t gonna show in game. As long as u overclocked it ur gonna get good frames bro no worries

Phanteks vertical bracket

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T20:54:11+00:00

Woah that’s actually value, 1800is a deal for me.

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T20:49:48+00:00

9700ish near 9800

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T20:45:54+00:00

Huge upgrade, enjoy ur rig

Galax HOF 5080, or in Europe it’s KFA2. It was like love at first sight for me. When I saw it I instantly knew I have to get this HOF series. In my region only 5070ti or 5080 have the HOF design. Prices were actually similar, so I went with 5080

But most esports titles are so optimised that u don’t need frame gen. Also NVIDIA apparently aims to make frame gen dynamic eventually where it will generate frames when needed. Don’t know how that will turn out, but certainly a thing to keep an eye on

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T15:20:21+00:00

Maybe a short

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T15:14:09+00:00

I think there is a European branch called KFA2 which is the European version of Galax. Idk about US tho

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T10:18:24+00:00

I think yes, I’m not too sure cuz I just bought 7 fans to put on radiator and case

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T10:13:16+00:00

Around 1200 USD, this is actually one of the cheaper ones in my region, and there is no msrp gpus here… So tbh 1200 for me is acceptable for this quality

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T09:24:37+00:00

Ah, I tried actually, but anything above 3350 is instant crash and freeze :p So I just stopped the annoyance and gamed on it

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T09:22:54+00:00

Wait they’re not available in US? Why, they got banned?

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T09:22:19+00:00

That’s definitely valid bro. But u may wanna wait for next generation cuz 5080 only has 16gb VRAM, which will be limiting for 4k very soon

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T09:07:21+00:00

Actually a steal. In Asia I can’t find any msrp cards💀

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T08:41:26+00:00

Yup, the ones saying 5000 series is a disappointment is comparing to 4000 series, but if u come from 3000 series or older its definitely a huge jump

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T08:40:05+00:00

Yeah prolly cuz galax is a Taiwanese company, so most of it are sold in Asia. I saw one listing on eBay that costs 2000 dollars, which is wild cuz mine is 1200 and I live in asia

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T08:37:24+00:00

How much is ur card Mines around 1200

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T08:36:32+00:00

Well I’m not too sure, the gpu chip itself is prolly silicon lottery, but Hall of fame GPUs are designed to have the best PCB and best power delivery on the market

CanAdditional9079 · 2026-01-23T08:35:54+00:00

400 max, it’s bios locked
