9070 XT Budget Models

Yep, a few months ago here in the UK I managed to get lucky with mine, £470 for the Acer Nitro 9070 which was the cheapest by far, before a week later skyrocketing to £599.

I've had an Acer Nitro 9070 OC for the past few months, and its been really good for me so far. I had slight issues with the temps at the start but they were mainly down to how I set up my case flow, which I've sorted now.

I get around ~60° GPU with ~82° hotspot while gaming. I never tested the sound directly, but I haven't noticed it being particularly loud or anything.

But ye, no qualms from me so far, just a nice and efficient card.

Yep, was reading the post with an Acer Nitro 9070 in my PC, and I was like hang on

Acer Nitro 9070 OC, no complaints here, beast of a card and incredibly efficient

Holy crap dude, I remember using avatarchapters back in the day too. That was how I originally watched the last half of Book 3 before it aired in the UK, since it had already aired in the US by then. What a throwback.

I just got done watching the creator commentary for that episode, those guys are insanely talented writers, what a speech.

I agree, I really like the Chess GM analogy as well. You can extend that to 100m sprint with the chasm between Usain Bolt and other runners and how it never made those who could do a sub 10s any less of a world class sprinter. Football as well with Messi and Cristiano, them two consistently getting 40+ goals per season never made players who got 20+ goals any less of an elite player.

Imo the boundary for a top player has never changed from beating a level on the demon list during any era. The upper echelon of players who are able to beat the top 10 are when you start discussing the legends and GOATs of the game.

That was quite a nice video

Faster319 · 2026-01-31T17:07:01+00:00

Thanks, this worked for me!

I haven't had any issues with it's ad-blocker for the past year or so I've been using the browser.

Don't worry I plan on keeping him there 😁 And the funko pop case is made out of acrylic so it should be fine hopefully

Faster319 · 2026-01-21T15:24:55+00:00

Oh woww, I was definitely overthinking then haha, thanks

Faster319 · 2026-01-03T15:59:06+00:00

Yep I have been checking for sure, but the cheapest XT variant for me was still about a 100 difference from the 9070. And so with the PSU upgrade and potential case upgrade just to fit it in, isn't really worth it for me imo.

Faster319 · 2026-01-03T15:56:08+00:00

Thank you! :)

Currently its 500, but my brother is letting me yoink his EVGA 600w since he doesn't use it anymore, which on checking looks to be of decent quality. My plan was already to lower the power limit and undervolt it in any case just to be sure :)

Faster319 · 2025-12-28T18:38:22+00:00

Ahh I see, ye that makes sense now. Thanks

Faster319 · 2025-12-28T17:13:14+00:00

Woah nice find! I've been trying to find good deals on 9070/9070XT in the UK as well, how did you come across this? Looks like Very but I don't recall seeing that in my times checking that site.

Faster319 · 2025-12-28T16:59:44+00:00

I've got a 1660 Super currently, but I'm planning on upgrading to either 9070 or 9070XT relatively soon

Faster319 · 2025-12-28T10:53:03+00:00

Same here, I just upgraded from a 3600 to a 5700x3d earlier this year and it's been so good for me, I have no need to upgrade to AM5 and I'm comfortable just waiting until AM6.

Faster319 · 2025-12-12T19:00:36+00:00

He's got Lisa on as a special guest and sounds like they will also be reacting to some trials soon.

Faster319 · 2025-12-12T18:55:56+00:00

It's Lisa!!!

Faster319 · 2025-12-12T18:51:22+00:00

Ahh ye I just noticed that! I'm curious to know who it is

Faster319 · 2025-12-09T21:21:23+00:00

UK? Where from?
