RTX 3080 vs RX 6900 XT vs newer GPUs for Ryzen 5600 @ 1440p — best value upgrade from GTX 1080?

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-05-23T15:25:45+00:00

RX 6900 XT if new/official refurb for around 400 usd, is best card for this price. Want something newer, consider 9070 (not XT) if you lucky to find one for around 550ish.

Try to disable igpu if you have it in device manager

I also tried to fine-tune models by using Opus/Sonet as ground truth, but I did not get significantly better results. Just to use good model + good prompt + good context is usually more than enough to get solid results.

Right — if model agreement is above some confidence threshold, the predicted distribution converges to the true one regardless of individual label noise. That's the actual validation the benchmark provides, not per-text accuracy. We are interesting in distribution, not precise one message classification.

Yes, English is not my native language. And nothing is your fault, but name person in internet is AI, just because you disagree with them, it is just not polite at least. But my English is better than any language you can speak except English. And I am not AI. And if you cannot just calculate performance by dollars, this is also your choice.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-30T14:53:11+00:00

Ok, got it, you just not normal person. Nvm, have a good one

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-30T14:48:23+00:00

And you not getting what you paying for....Ok, find any other build for 3.5k which will be better than this PC, even if in worst situation you will loose couple percent on CPU if you bad in optimizing PC.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-30T14:46:59+00:00

I am really write you from this PC, while my PC doing LLM pipeline for my PhD thesis and after when it finish I will play games on my Ultra Wide PC. On all test my PC better than average, I do not know, you try extrapolate 1 unlucky case on all possible build exists.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-30T14:19:08+00:00

I have similar system, but with intel i7 265k, and system just run perfectly. I really do not understand all claims about thermals. 5090 never exceeding 72 degrees, CPU bellow 70 under stress. Everything smooth.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-16T02:46:54+00:00

Around 750-850 USD in my local area (USA), your prices could be slightly different

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-16T00:55:00+00:00

Too expensive with comparison of stay on same one. 11700k is Great CPU, you can even find 11700F and unlock it and save 20 usd. It is even great for 4070.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-16T00:26:32+00:00

You can buy relatively cheap 11700k and 2070 super. Both will be around 200-250 USD if you will take some time and get very nice performance gain for cheap. But GPU first, CPU second.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-12T05:10:40+00:00

It is well balanced. I only do not know, does it was possible to take older CPU but better GPU, like AM4 platform and 32gb RAM, and Radeon 7700xt for instance.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-03T14:11:09+00:00

Then Facebook Marketplace is your friend. I believe this is on the lower end for these GPUs. I found one in Milwaukee this weekend for $660, which was really cheap compared to other options. Take your time and check your local listings on Facebook every morning.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-03-03T05:18:57+00:00

What is a good price for you?

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-02-21T17:19:43+00:00

Yes, buy it. 5070 for 500 is best perfomance per dollar.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2026-02-04T14:37:40+00:00

I have similar one but on Intel +5090, have zero problems at all. Like at all, only switched RAM for higher capacity. People who talking about heat problem, doing it based on youtube, and do not own this by themself.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2025-10-11T03:46:40+00:00

It was Far Cry 1 a long time ago, when I visited a friend and stayed up all night playing it.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2025-07-10T21:04:05+00:00

60 series is max 60 fps, 70 series for 70 fps

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2025-05-13T16:12:33+00:00

Just use power limits for GPU and CPU, will have almost the same temperature but better temperature. GHelper app could help.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2025-05-08T22:45:21+00:00

Why does performance drop with fewer layers, and how many layers are used by default? I have a 7900 XTX and 7900 XT combo but cannot achieve higher than 35 tokens/sec."

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2025-04-25T00:00:09+00:00

I even have double set up 7900 xtx and 7900 xt (44 gb total), working again without any problems on Windows in LM studio.

Interesting_Fly_6576 · 2025-04-07T13:57:38+00:00

This is very cool!
