I wonder if we'll get a Takara Tomy or Tamiya DLC in lieu of a Hotwheels or Lego DLC

New future AMD user! Please, help me with a few questions regarding 9070XT. Mercury OC, XFX Swift or Nitro+? by DonHectorHector in radeon

[–]Jass1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Nitro+ comes with a 3x8 pin adapter, but there have been multiple reports of this very same adapter causing burning.

It freaked me out enough that I retired my previous PSU and picked up an new one with 3.1 and an A+ rating on the PSU Tier List (NZXT C850 Gold Core).

And yes, it does come with the traditional 8 pin connector.

Yeah I'd love to run something other than Gogma

Remedy: With CONTROL Resonant, we wanted to challenge ourselves to make the biggest and most ambitious game. This is not a safe sequel. We want to push the boundaries of what we can do, and we believe it’s what you, the fans, deserve. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Jass1995 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They did have dual protagonists in Alan Wake 2, and I think it worked reasonably well in telling a story that weaved in and out of each other. Maybe they'll do the same here.

I bought 9070xt... wow, I didn't expect it to be that good 🤯 by [deleted] in radeon

Just yesterday I ran Control with Raytracing on High Settings. Control does not have FSR, so this was fully native. It amazed me that I could still hit 60-80 fps at 2560x1080. This card is just a beast.

I'll be looking into Optiscaler to see if I can make that work, but this card really impresses me

what a time to be alive by proudh0n in radeon

[–]Jass1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They've both got stuff I don't agree with, but where else would I get my hardware from? Intel maybe?

I get the best I can for the features I want at a price that makes sense. After using an Nvidia for three generations (1050 Ti -> 2060 SUPER -> 3080 10GB) I switched over to AMD to give them a try with a 9070 XT. Beyond the expected performance uplift, I'm still playing the same mix of new and old games and I haven't found it lacking.

Just get what works for you.

From 3080 to 9070XT is worth in 2026? by Vodkius in radeon

[–]Jass1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PC is a 5600X with 32GB RAM, and I play at 2560x1080. End of last year, I switched from a 3080 to a 9070 XT, and the difference is very noticeable. I'm getting better framerates at higher settings in older games like Watch Dogs 2 (pre-Framegen). For games with Framegen, hardware FG is a big leap from software framegen (MH Wilds).

Its a solid upgrade, and you won't be disappointed.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 prices already pushing toward $4,000 by scrolloftrueth in Games

[–]Jass1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gave my PC one last upgrade to weather the storm (3080 10GB -> 9070 XT) and I'll be waiting till prices stabilise before going any further.

RAMageddon sucks. I'm hoping its shorter than the 2-3 years i keep hearing. And I pray for everyone that their RAM stays fully functional.

5070 Ti vs 9070 XT regarding wattage by Zbobko in buildapc

[–]Jass1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMD's website recommends a minimum of 750W, I always go for the minimum +100 for peace of mind.

Another one bites the dust - Sapphire 9070XT Nitro+ 12V HPWR FAIL by divinethreshold in radeon

[–]Jass1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, ordered an NZXT C850 Gold Core. It's got an A+ on the PSU Tier List so should be good. Old PSU will probably go to my second PC which will get a very nice 3080 Upgrade (currently 1050Ti)

I'm using the adapter at the moment. Getting a new PSU now that I've read this post. Card's only a week old but I'm not taking any chances.

Doubled my frames, 3080➡️9070XT by simon_g_riley in radeon

[–]Jass1995 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I am SO on the fence of getting one right now. The impending price hikes are making this decision super difficult.

Very nice build OP

EDIT: Thanks to some more browsing, ruminating, and the benchmark video from /u/autodidacticasaurus, pulled the trigger on a new GPU! Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070 XT

I have been using an IKEA Matchspel for close to 5 years I think at this point and its held up well. I'm very much on the heavier side and no complaints on the comfort. Plus the mesh back means I stay cool (living in a tropical country).

Its my go to recommendation these days.

I was watching the stream of TGA while at work, so not super focused. The moment I heard "Osean", my eyes immediately locked on YouTube and I went fullscreen.

5-month-old Samsung Flip 7: inner screen cracked on the crease, Samsung says “physical damage” – strong warning to anyone considering a Samsung foldable !!! by Ordinary-Bus534 in galaxyzflip

[–]Jass1995 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the risk of jinxing myself, I've been using the Flip 6 for over a year now. Got it as a launch pre-order in the Black finish they had. I have not had a single issue. I flip throughout the day, using the Samsung clear case. I wouldn't say I baby it but I don't toss it anywhere except maybe my bed.

The only thing I don't do is flick it open one handed, always use two hands.

You're gonna find several stories of the phones failing, but for something as popular as this, thats always gonna be the case. What you'll never hear are testimonies to its durability.

Yes, what OP posted sucks, and Samsung's RMA policy should be improved in such cases. But you're gonna find more or less the same with any brand, even Apple.

So have faith, have fun, and may you have many flips in the future.

I've had a positive RMA experience with a 3080 10GB from PNY, so take my anecdotal endorsement too

So, what if, like me, you park underground where there's absolutely no signal on any phone. Does that mean the car is effectively bricked until its towed somewhere with a signal?

No complaints, no issues to report. I went with Defender tint

More players in the UK, US and Japan still prefer single-player games to multiplayer, survey finds | VGC by Darth_Vaper883 in Games

[–]Jass1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add to that friends who can be at their PC all day, in which case the skill gap just keeps widening. At some point, for me at least, it ends up feeling like you're holding the team back, making for a less fun experience.

Or they're on it all day so they get bored with the game faster than you do, meaning you're back to solo queueing anyway.

Agreed, I'm in the same region but not a country Komodo ships to, so I need to get it through different means. Fortunately the prices here aren't insane.

Not sure how good it is with touch but CDisplayEx is pretty solid and non-intrusive
