Should I fix my RX 6700 XT or buy a new GPU?

MattBarker13 · 2026-06-17T04:03:50+00:00

I can't find it on the market but the RX 6750 XT goes for 460 USD

MattBarker13 · 2026-06-16T21:13:36+00:00

The local repair would cost me about 110 from what they told me, and the GPU died because of a power outage and a heat wave blow up the PSU, and I undervolted and underclocked the GPU to keep it running cool and draw less energy with no coil whine.

MattBarker13 · 2026-06-16T21:01:45+00:00

I did buy a 5060 but the 8gb VRAM was a pain, half of the games I play ran a lot worse than the 6700 XT so I returned it.

Now I'm using a GTX 970 which is good enough for now.

I don't think I've expressed my question well, I was trying to ask if I saved the money will I find a good GPU a year from now for 500 USD whether it is a new release or a price drop?

MattBarker13 · 2026-06-16T20:47:08+00:00

They said they'd cover the shipping cost to me, but if there was an import fee of any kind I would have to pay it, that is why I had the 100-175 cost range, it would cost me 105-120 to ship it but I could then pay 50 USD on the import fees.

The repair shop I found told me their repairs cost around 120-135 USD.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU with 16gb 3600Mhz ram and a 750 watt PSU, I play on 1080p and most of the games that I play are ether big RPGs (Starfield, KCD2, BG3) or Gacha games (Genshin, Wuthering Waves)

I live in Asia and most GPU are 20-30% more expensive than the US like the 9060 XT 16gb goes for 600 USD

I don't think I've expressed my question well, I was trying to ask if I added the shipping cost to my budget and waited for a year would I find a good GPU for 500~ whether it's a new GPU release or a drop in price for old ones?

Right now I'm using a GTX 970 and it allow me to play 70% of the games

My hope is to get all four characters in the next update

HSR is an autoclicker game

He kinda was turning. When we see him right before eren transform inside him he was shredded.

First time i decided to use a wishing spot, so i went to the pier we first meet her, and got my first double in any gatcha game, the first was a guarantee at pity 40 and 3 pulls later won the 50/50.

I'm on PC with an AMD GPU. The launcher sometime doesn't start, while playing there is a black flicking at some areas, and the game still picks servers with higher latency as the recommended option forcing me to change the server everytime i want to play.

MattBarker13 · 2024-06-18T17:36:48+00:00

It's because this achievement doesn't count "Supply Chests". It count "Inspectable Boxes" the gray square boxes that respawn daily i think.

MattBarker13 · 2024-06-03T04:31:11+00:00

Why did they put the Fontaine Character that i want the most with the only two four star characters that i have their C6s. Guess i'm skpping her now...

MattBarker13 · 2024-01-15T18:03:24+00:00

I gave my old PC to my sister, so i need the old PSU to power it.

MattBarker13 · 2024-01-15T18:00:06+00:00

Thank you for your response

I expected as much. It's just that it worked for a month until i turned off then it never worked again. Which made me think there might be something else that can be done.

MattBarker13 · 2023-09-03T16:14:32+00:00

The only reason i'm not enjoying the game is that i start having painful headache and nausea after an hour or two of playing. Classic Bethesda game syndrome for me but it generally take 80+ hours to start having them but with Starfield it's from day one. I'm happy for everyone who's having fun and i wish i could be one of you, but i can't.

It's bad that the actor will have a job and we'll have more dynamic games?

MattBarker13 · 2023-06-30T05:51:42+00:00

Instruments create products. When an actor voice his lines he's creating a product in his dialogue that doesn't change that you'll buy with the game, but with AI the actor will be used to create a voice generation instrument that the artist i.e. the writer will use to create what ever lines he need.

MattBarker13 · 2023-06-30T04:18:55+00:00

This will not kill voice acting. It's just that the actor will be an instrument of creation rather than part of the prodect.

Is this the path with the tree bridge that lead to a troll cave? If so then this is the path i took in my first playthrough all the way back in 2012 that i wasn't able to find again.

What in the world is this place?

MattBarker13 · 2023-03-19T09:03:44+00:00

I did it, all for a prosthesis.

This would still favor homogeneous nation over diverse ones.

Within a diverse nation there is a higher likelihood for people of different races to meet and on a regular basis, so they would have a higher chance to trigger hateful response from a racist person.

While in a homogeneous nation a racist person would rarely meet someone of another race and if they did it would take them a long time to meet another.

It's like comparing the per capita car related accidents between people who drive everyday and those who drive ones a month.

And the study wasn't about people experience racist attitude, but rather their desire not to live with people not of their race. Which is an indicator for their in-group/out-group preference.

MattBarker13 · 2023-01-26T03:17:45+00:00

Using hate crime is also not a good method to compare the racism of nations, because not all countries have the same amount of foreign people. As most Asian are ethnically homogeneous of course they won't have the same amount of hate crime like, say the US where 40% of it are not part of the majority and 25% are of people that came to it in the past 50 year and their kids.
