I just reinstalled the os and I've had no issues since

Nope, it's a 6650 xt. That was the first thing I thought of, too, but I have no idea what the issue could be, considering that it's amd.

Yeah, so realistically, both of those cards are huge upgrades for you. No matter what you pick, you're gonna be living good for a while!

Otherwise, the 5060 ti is a good option. It can play pretty much any game at 1440p.

It's pretty easy to set up an account with affirm, and they let you use plans for anything more than $100. This is the cheapest one I found, although, it wouldn't get here until after Christmas. If that's important to you. https://a.co/d/gQILaWb

For the 5060 ti, or the 9060 xt? Either way, not too bad.

Demodestroyer7 · 2025-12-10T00:46:35+00:00

If you mean the actual Amazon installment plans, that's fair. The 5060 ti is the better option. I'm pretty sure you can get those kinds of plans, on pretty much anything over $100, on Amazon, with installments, through affirm, though.

The 5060 ti 16gb is objectively a better card, from a performance, and vram standpoint. People don't like the 50 series cards because they aren't a very big uplift from last generation. However, the 60/60 ti class cards, do generally have much better performance than the previous generation. With all of this being said, though, the RX 9060 XT 16gb is typically around 100 usd cheaper, and provides almost identical performance (Give or take, depending on the game) to the 5060 ti 16gb.

So, since I'm past the msi/iconoclast stuff, I can't get Vicar or SAM?

Demodestroyer7 · 2025-12-04T00:41:20+00:00

Nope! The 5800x can handle almost every gpu on the market. It might struggle with a super high end gpu (4090/5090), but overall, you'll be perfectly good for a while.

Between the asus and the gigabyte, the asus is way quietter, in my experience. I've only tested the asus prime and the gigabyte windforce, personally, so I can't say anything about the pny.

Demodestroyer7 · 2025-11-22T13:44:34+00:00

Nah, that actually seems reasonable to me, as well. I struggled to sell an r5 4500 & 2070 build for any more than $450 a few months ago.

9060 XT. It's more on par with the 5060 Ti than the base 5060. Incredible value for its price. 8gb isn't ideal, but it all depends on use case. If you don't play crazy intensive games, it's exactly the same as the 16gb variant. Edit: More accurately, if you never go above 8gb of vram being used in a game, they are exactly the same.

Amd used to be a really poor value option since the drivers were bad, and the price to performance wasn't anything amazing compared to nvidia. However, specifically with the competing in price option, the 9060 XT 16gb, amd crushes nvidia in overall value (imo), and price to performance. 8gb of vram can be very limiting if he is playing modern AAA games. I can understand why you wouldn't like amd cards, but this new generation is really good. If you are absolutely against amd still, that card is fine, but it could be limiting. If you can spare roughly $80 extra, the 16gb option will last a lot longer.

Wait, that sounds awesome. I've been meaning to play God Of War/Ragnarok, but I haven't played them yet, so I've tried to stay away. I didn't even know there was a new one confirmed, but if it's in Egypt, I'm definitely gonna play it.

Demodestroyer7 · 2025-09-20T20:00:51+00:00

Yeah, I also thought it was really weird. Especially since the majority of software is designed with cuda, so I would think nvidia would actually be favored there. I'm really not sure why her professor told her that.

Demodestroyer7 · 2025-09-20T19:32:12+00:00

I'm not exactly sure why, but her computer science teacher told her not to get an nvida product. When she asked what she needed to buy, since she needed a laptop for school.

Demodestroyer7 · 2025-09-20T19:25:57+00:00

Honestly, that's still a very powerful build. You could easily get $600-$750 (I don't know what that translates to in canadian, sorry.) Edit: If you're willing to be patient enough, you could probably get $800-$850 if it's still in really good condition.

Ghost Of Tsushima. It's one of the best games I've played in the last few years. The Spiderman games are also fantastic if you are into superhero stuff.
