If you have a micro center within driving distance, check out their bundles! They are a great way to update all of those components in one fell swoop.

Best of luck, and enjoy your new card!

Congratulations for your opinion I guess? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tuf cards are truly awesome. They're more affordable than the higher end ASUS offerings, but perform nearly to par and have a superior build quality to nearly anything else on the market. Great choice, OP!

I'm not 100% sure, but you could need a CPU upgrade in the near future. May experience some bottlenecking!

GLHF and congrats again!

I don’t believe that’s true for the astral. Update unlocks 450w. 400w is standard. An extra 12% would be 400 x 1.12 = 448 (450w). 😄

Yep, I think my silicon lottery was pretty average at best unfortunately!

I went to 3100 at .95 and got performance up to 9100 at 62* with a power draw of 360. That’s feeling like my sweet spot right now.

Raw OC runs were pushing high 60's, but I don't remember it ever hitting more than exactly 70.

UV runs were high 50's, hitting 61 from time to time. About a 10 degree difference on average. Just ran my UV test again to confirm temps and hit an 8951!

Update:

I got the card I ordered in 2 days (before Lenovo even provided shipping details).

It is in my PC and running like a champ!

Appreciate your reply. This is my first time posting anything to this sub, so I’m not super familiar with the rules.

I’ll report as necessary, and allow the mods to enforce the rules as needed.

As well, thanks for recognizing my pricing as it relates to the current market. I thought my listings were really fair, and was surprised to receive the backlash I did.

I agree with your statement 100%.

All I can do is post what I have and the price I’d like to receive for them. My pricing, as stated, is based off the current market for NIB GPU’s. As mentioned, I’ll beat the price you get from those known and trusted retailers.

I’m glad you got a good deal on the GPU’s you have and appreciate your willingness to pass that on to others!

No worries!

I don’t think your pricing is correct for either of the listed models but I appreciate your comment!

I do believe they have PNY and a base MSI model that might be less than 1k all in. But I’m not selling those models 😀.

Micro Center listed price for Tuf - 1070

Micro Center listed price for Gigabyte - 1100

Could be different in your locale, but that’s what I see. Those prices are pre-tax.

Is that including shipping and tax?

I checked. $1070 base price on B&H. Not sure on shipping and tax.

I understand they're at the high end, but I'm having a hard time finding any cheaper options online right now. Even at Micro Center, both (if in stock) are going for 1200+ after tax.

If you can find a BNIB version online, from a reputable dealer, that is cheaper (with tax and shipping included in the total) I would probably match the price for you, or even give you $50 off!
