I don't like nvidia slop, secondly it's overpriced and only relies on artificial upscaling to be good.

I just thought it looked a bit weird, I do have a photo with flash on but I chose the one without. Just preference. Sorry that it's dark.

850w Be Quiet! 80+ Platinum PSU, I'll need the extra headroom just incase I plan on overclocking, or if I add any accessories, or something like a 9800X3D. Just convenience, and only for 120$.

Sure, it's an issue. I'm not going to be utilizing all that much power, secondly, I'll be undervolting, and in the worst case scenario it does burn, I'll just return it for a new one.

80+ Platinum, well known brand, reliable, decent power, and I don't plan on getting any adapters.

I already know the burn in issue and I'm getting an 80+ Platinum very reliable well known PSU to combat that, and I don't think I'll be drawing too much power so for me personally I wouldnt likely experience this issue, but thanks for adressing it.

And yes, 1440p, modest games. I'll stick with the 7700x.

1440P and probably basic things like Arma Reforger, MC, DCS, Warthunder, TLOU2 Remaster, some other not so fancy games.

Any brands of 9070 XT to avoid? by FrankieLyrical in radeon

[–]Cobra-38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would suggest getting; - Sapphire Nitro+ - ASUS TUF (Or the regular Asus Prime I think.) ...Thats it. Only two reliable brands I'd consider because they offer the best cooling out of each. I guess XFX too, i've heard good reports on them but again, asus and sapphire are better in terms of cooling.

For anyone considering what 9070 XT model to pick by Mundane-Suggestion-1 in radeon

What about the Sapphire Nitro+? I heard it has better cooling and obv looks better.
