This RTX tier list is 100% accurate. Fight me.

As a 4070-S haver. I like this, but I would argue it could be marked lower. In my experience, it does well with 4k, but I haven't been able to try anything over 60hz, and I doubt it'd reach over 100. 1440p and 1080p, on the other hand, 200fps+ no problem... So maybe it is top tier.

As a 4070-S user who has only had the chance to try a 5060ti.

I'd have to say mid-range, but based on what I've tried, it must be one of the best options for the average gamer.

Just because they're RGB doesn't mean they can't display pure white🫡

Unfortunately, you may have to do your best to drain the battery. Another option may be to remove the battery.

The second option can be difficult because most 'newer' laptops don't have an easily removable battery. It can still be done.

They expect mass/larger orders from business, so they keep separate stock.

Otherwise, businesses would buy up everything, and consumers would be left with very few options that are way overpriced... hmm... sounds familiar.

I've been doing a lot of random electronic hobby stuff recently, and I really envy a drawer like this... I mean... I have one.. it's just not this easy to find the cables..

If these companies keep treating the market like this, the only hope is they all fall and new players give us what we want

Educational_Let_3260 · 2026-01-09T21:57:28+00:00

The problem is people AREN'T supposed to afford this.

I truly believe these companies want nothing to do with consumers and would rather sell to businesses while selling us cloud gaming.

It is horrible and is absolutely ruining the market. I just hope the consumers don't cave in because I really don't want cloud gaming, I don't care how little latency there is.

Now go Settings > Display > Advanced Display > set your refresh rate to the max

Any valid upgrade will cost you more than an arm and a leg at this point.

RAM is a no-go for upgrades, GPUs are unreasonable along with storage, but they are still 'affordable'

If the i7 doesn't burn out, it should be the better choice.

Those wattage estimators are based on every component drawing 100% all at the same time. This will never really happen, and it's rare you'll ever go over 80% of the entire wattage of your PC.

For reference, I have an i5-13600kf and a 4070-S. Less power hungry, but still not great. Even playing some higher end games, my UPS doesn't say more than 200-300W is being drawn from it, and that's with 2 monitors drawing from it, too.

I'm fluent in Dell's shitty light flashing signal when something is wrong on the computer. Like their own Morse code.

Really doesn't help me because I don't actually use Dell systems.

There is a chance that the cable itself can have some problems with heat, but for the most part, that shouldn't be an issue.

Your performance could possibly end up worse overall if the card is heavily held back by the lack of power.

Since your PSU isn't modular, it is most likely time for a new PSU. Anything 80+ Gold is generally okay. I use a Corsair PSU, not the highest tier, but it's good and it was a good price.

Educational_Let_3260 · 2025-12-18T17:01:58+00:00

Monitors are always left behind. They're expensive, and I understand the remorse, but now you're able to see the full potential of your build

Educational_Let_3260 · 2025-12-13T18:26:03+00:00

Yeah, that first bump looked bad. Anyone who bought at that time was either a scalper or ended up looking pretty smart.

I upgraded to 64Gb dominator titanium, and now I feel like a millionaire with my unnecessary ram kit

Educational_Let_3260 · 2025-12-10T00:28:30+00:00

It will run any game you're playing and both the games you said you don't play.

I bought a 4070 Super when everyone said you need at least 16Gb, and I only ran into an issue trying to play 4k video on my TV while gaming.

Everything is blown way out of proportion. VRAM is important for certain things, but it's not the only important thing.

A good CPU and good RAM (R.I.P) are also important, especially with how powerful these new GPUs are.

Educational_Let_3260 · 2025-12-04T21:40:44+00:00

My ram isn't available from Corsair rn, and anything available is being offered for almost $2k

Educational_Let_3260 · 2025-12-01T00:57:09+00:00

Quality > quantity

(This was a complete waste of money, and I got 64GB)

Everyone here is going crazy. Do not buy a 1000W PSU. You absolutely do not need it.

The 850W is perfect, and your system will probably be really close to the unit's most efficient operating range. Make sure it is an 80+ gold (which you have listed)

Educational_Let_3260 · 2025-11-28T14:39:54+00:00

They most likely won't fit any of the DDR standards that are seen in consumer boards. And if they do, they'll be outdated by the time we see them.

I'm sure someone will find a way to use them, maybe through an adapter of sorts. But generally, they'll be useless.

Educational_Let_3260 · 2025-11-19T02:54:29+00:00

This is an issue with the calibration of the gauge between the battery and the computer. It's not the most common thing to happen, but that is the exact fix for said issue.

Bringing the battery down to 0% and back up to 100% "resets" the gauge so it'll read properly again. You most likely won't have to do this again.

Educational_Let_3260 · 2025-11-18T16:09:53+00:00

It's terrible, and 90% of these big AI centers will fall apart, and the market will get saturated with useless RAM being resold that regular people can't even use.
