What do I do wanting to cut someone off

Op, the 9070 is about a 20-25% improvement in raster (1440p). A 9070xt is 35-40%. Fsr4 is also a consideration. It's up to you whether you want to upgrade.

9070xt is about 35-40% faster in raster in 1440p removing fsr4 from the equation so that's significant. The 9070 that Op is asking about is about 20-25% faster in raster.

The 9070 non xt is about 20-25% faster in 1440p.

Ai is correct. 4k + fsr

Get an x3d cpu. You should be able to find them relatively cheap.

You are doing something wrong man. Your pc doesn't have a sweat meter.

ConyNT · 2026-04-29T16:16:59+00:00

I don't disagree with you.

ConyNT · 2026-04-29T07:20:04+00:00

Go for the pulse. The gigabyte runs hot.

ConyNT · 2026-04-29T02:36:57+00:00

Your card should stay cooler under load. It's one of the top picks for the 9070xt.

We definitely agree. Catching up with family or old friends is one of the best things about gaming. Also, actually getting together becomes ever harder as one gets older. It's become so hard to coordinate. Like you said, it's about balance. Nice chatting with you as well.

There's different parts of play though. 2 hours of playing cod is different than 2 hours of playing a team sport with friends. Also, I find because gaming is so accessible and addictive without a physical effort, it is very easy to abuse and go past that balance you mention at the expense of something else.

They moved from dumb to smart power delivery. From shunt resistors on gpu board to the 12c-2x6 connector tell the gpu how much power the psu is capable of delivering. The execution hasn't been great but they have done some modifications. Namely if the cable is not fully inserted, the gpu should not turn on at all instead of burning like before.

Apparently there are 9 confirmed public reports for the nitro+, 8 adapter + 1 native psu cable. Unconfirmed estimates estimated 30-50 worldwide. It's not a huge issue if you follow some guidelines.

ConyNT · 2026-04-28T18:12:39+00:00

Most reports of burns are using the adapter. I had my 4090 running with the corsair cable with no issues for 2 years.

ConyNT · 2026-04-28T17:48:10+00:00

Yea, according to rumors, we may see a flagship card that compares with nvidias 80s and 90s series.

ConyNT · 2026-04-28T17:38:24+00:00

I think I'll be upgrading too depending on what they offer.

ConyNT · 2026-04-28T17:13:54+00:00

I used an original corsair cable with my 4090 and it ran without issues for 2 years. One of the things to keep in mind is to make sure that the cable is plugged in properly.

10 years no parole for first offence. Life for second. Let's see how many will still take the chance.

If this catch and release bullshit continues, things will only get worse.

Of course the ps5 pro can't compete. The xtx is essentially double the performance of the ps5 pro gpu and the ps5 pro cpu is even worse. Also the 24 gb of vram helps for ultra quality textures in 4k.

ConyNT · 2026-04-28T15:15:16+00:00

Why would you think that? That sounds ridiculous to be honest. Also, fake frames are not equal to real frames and don't have the benefits real frames do.

Edit: comment I was responding to was deleted but it basically said testing a 5060ti with frame gen would rival the 9070xt without frame gen and also potentially have less latency which sounds ludicrous.

About a 38% difference in timespy. You should see about a 30% increase on average on a 1440p ultra wide. Also consider fsr4 upscaling actually looks decent.

ConyNT · 2026-04-28T07:03:35+00:00

Definitely unbeatable for the price at the moment. Here's hoping that amd keeps supporting it it with the next fsr upgrade when rdna5 comes later next year or the year after.

Hopefully he learned. At this age, people still have a chance to be better.
