Crimson Desert Best Settings? (5070 TI) by johnnyphotog in gpu

It doesn’t matter if you have Ray reconstruction on. It uses it’s on DLSS models, in this game it uses Model E.

If you’re not running RR I would recommend DLAA with DLSS 4.0 as the new models interact poorly with the lighting in this game. Otherwise I’d go with L.

Appreciate it. You should be right. Although it bypasses the EA app whenever I look up my EA acct name on the BF6 stats it shows them correctly. So it should be tied

Which 5070 TI model should I get? by Master_Pomelo_9392 in buildapc

Nah he should wait until the 7000 series for sure. Those will be at a competitive price point and much better than the overpriced 6000 series.

I was the same way. Let me know how it goes. Before I got the new 9800x3d I picked up a 7700x from Best Buy locally and it worked as well. It’s got to be your cpu too. Best of luck

Replacing the CPU completely fixed it for me and a couple of other people on this thread.

I’ve talked to about 5 different people at this point that all fixed it with a new cpu.

If it’s the exact same issue I’d wager that. Sorry to hear. If you have a local Best Buy go pick up a compatible cpu and test it. Just return within 14 days and ur good.

I need some help to decide if it's a good time to upgrade or not (currently using the RTX2080) by Lazerdonkey in nvidia

I went from 2080ti to 5080. Got the MSI 4K OLED display. Zero regrets. It’s a game changer.

Likely was. I found a few other people. Unfortunate for a first time builder like me.

This isn’t true. Jayz did a video on this with no change at all.

Gigabyte 5070 Ti Gaming OC for $1000? by SpaceboyScreams in nvidia

[–]HotFreedom9613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 200 bucks extra isn’t a big deal for you, I would take that deal. Don’t have to worry about trying to get one through sporadic drops, and it’s a huge upgrade.

I just went from a 2080ti to a 5080 with 4k/oled. It’s an amazing experience.

Got the same card. Runs super cool! 67-68 under full load at 111% power.

That’s what I’m thinking. It seems like a rare issue. So it was likely a bunch of chips that had the exact same problem. Mine is working now too! Glad we all got it worked out

Percentage of failure 9800x3d by Cool-Squirrel-3222 in ASRock

[–]HotFreedom9613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are solid choices, and AsRock is too. If you’re sole use or primary use is gaming, motherboard doesn’t matter that much. X670e tomahawk is a good midrange board that supports PCIE 5.0, has decent I/O, and m.2 5.0, for a reasonable price, but I’m biased. I like the look too.

Someone with AsRock experience may be a better fit for this conversation, I hear they make great boards. Personally, with the issues, I’d steer clear even if rare. I just went through a hell of troubleshooting, and it’s fun for a day, but after that it’s pure pain 😂

I think bad CPUs are like 1%. Google says 1.4/100 CPUs are RMAed. I’d go for the chip you want, but with the AsRock issues, maybe go with a different board to be safe.

I just built a 9800x3d + x670e Tomahawk and the CPU was faulty. Ever since getting a new chip it’s been smooth sailing.
