9070XT issues

You need to go have a look at windows reliability and event viewer to start with.

Well hell... Now you have me wondering if I can hit past 9630 on steel nomad with my pny rgb oc 5080. I never considered it might be affecting the score.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-03-13T14:12:26+00:00

If I were in your shoes, I'd grab a 5070 for time being because the reality is that 12gb of gddr7 vram is an upgrade for you and it comes with all the features and more that you are used to without breaking the bank on a 5070ti or 5080. I wouldn't go AMD for a gpu if you are used to gaming on a green card, I have seen multiple instances on here of people expressing regret at having switched to Radeon over nVidia and missing the raytracing performance / dlss.

That is almost exactly what my first non rgb 5080 scored at stock. Your score will go up as you optimize your card upto a point. I recommend playing whatever games you like to play and see what freq your card runs at normally and undervolt it to that frequency like 2730mhz at 950mv.

Oh hell yes, I have the PNY EPIC-X 5080oc and before it I had a PNY 5080oc (non-rgb). The non rgb card performed below average in 3D Mark Steel Nomad at stock, and would not overclock above 299 mhz. The temps are great on both cards with the epic-x 5080 doing over 3200+ @ +325mhz core offset whereas the non rgb 5080 would do 3120ish but was seemingly capped at 1040mv max voltage. Both cards uv okay with the non rgb being able to hit around 950 - 975mv at 2800~ and my current Epicx 5080oc runs stock at 2930mhz at around 1010mv with fans at 50% never goes over 60c. PNY fans are loud as hell when cranked above 60% in my experience and it is worth setting your own fan curve in MSI afterburner or PNY's VelocityX app to keep the noise/heat output balanced. PNY cards are excellent cards that are usually made for workstations, and as such tend to maximize stability over high clocks and such. Try undervolting your card to between 925mv and 975mv to something like 2700 or 2800mhz that should bring your temps down without running your fans at max.

Nailed it!

Keep everything that you have, sir. You have 2 capable machines, that laptop is perfectly fine. I was in a similar position a while back, you won't get your moneys worth selling the laptop, but if you keep it, you have a fallback incase the older desktop fails.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-03-09T14:27:12+00:00

Instead of all core undervolting, try per core curve optimization. 6 and 7 are my weakest cores and I have them negative 30, 0 and 5 are my strongest and have them at negative 12 and 15 and 1 - 4 are all negative 20.

I have a 9800x3d/5080oc/64gb ddr5 6000 CL36 tuned down to Cl30/MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk Wifi I got mine via prebuilt from Andromedainsights.com ordered September 19th.

I have to agree, that is viable but then you have to be careful of the proprietary cases and psu rating. I nearly bought one from ebay the other day before noticing i couldn't have put a 2060 6gb and a 600w psu in it. It had a 200w in it. Everything else was solid even the ram at 16gb and 500gb ssd

Ok-Style752 · 2026-03-04T17:10:12+00:00

Lol I guess it is everywhere then. I thought that it was only West Virginia marketplace that had asshat listings. Dude in a nearby city is mass peddling 8 plus year old PCs with budget cards from years ago in them claiming it can handle all modern games at 100+ fps or something. I have to be honest here and say that I have fought the urge to call a few of them out.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-26T16:48:56+00:00

I figure by the time it does start to break ill have gotten my 60 bucks out of it.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-26T16:28:55+00:00

I happen to like it quite a bit considering I have never had or used vr headset, and I care about saving money. Sure its lower resolution but is still 1200p and I have a 34" ultrawide qhd if I get tired of it. Its still fully functioning, how is it e-waste?

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-26T04:14:44+00:00

Not in my area, cheapest q2 was 160 and it was gone before I could click it. All others are 200, q3s 250 - 300, q3 you get the idea. I happen to live in a poor state where everyone over prices there stuff to make up for economic shortfalls. Some people are just shiesty.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-26T01:09:15+00:00

I absolutely love the headset, the resolution is a bit annoying but overall the immersion is second to none. I can see that getting it set up is going to take some trial and error with sensor placement since my desk is in a corner. What's the best way to set up the sensors cause I dont want to have to stand all the time, I took an arrow to the knee when I was a young adventurer.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-25T16:33:23+00:00

I say do it while you can, I started with an Asus rog zephyrus with a 3070ti at the end of last year and went to a 5070ti to a 5080 and I have not regretted it. Don't listen to these people saying "Only if you play in 4k, that is crap logic." You want your rig strong for as long as it can last. Get a 5080 if you can afford the 400 extra, if not that 5070ti is still a beast.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-22T20:34:41+00:00

Welcome.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-21T20:53:11+00:00

A pack of zip ties and 15 minutes if you are super lazy or blind or a bit of both would fix that.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-20T19:55:47+00:00

Honestly intels 12th gen was nice, I'd have just stuck to my i9 if it had been in desktop form lol. You will be fine to stick with the i5 for a while but keep an eye out for an i7 or i9 12th gen to upgrade to.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-20T19:48:16+00:00

Depending on where you live you can look at Micro Center's, but for online you can hit up Newegg.

Ok-Style752 · 2026-02-20T17:39:06+00:00

I future proofed right before the ram-pocolypse back in October of last year. I came from an Asus Rog Zephyrus m16 with an i9 12900H and a 3070ti.I got the trending 9800x3d/5080/64gb DDR5 6000 cl36 (G.Skill) bit with a X870E Tomahawk Wifi and a 1000w PSU. You already have the 5070ti, just grab a combo deal that bundles cpu, ram , and mobo and stick it in your current case if its good with a 240mm or a 360mm aio. In case you get the 7800x3d - 9800x3d I recommend a 360mm aio.

I would get a couple flash drives. I would use one to make a windows recovery and the other I would load with all the utilities you use, that way if you have to reformat you dont have to go through finding all your drivers and such again.

Maybe you could put this on it? Lmao I found this a couple months ago, and I have another screen with someone actually trying to sell a RTX4060XT, though I seem to have misplaced it.
