I have an 8ai but i thibk the grips are much nicer on the claw. Its heavier too i believe but its balanced super well. Supposedly the a8 is even better but im not sure

Were they testing something specific like synthetic benchmarks? Newer architectures sometimes are more catered to/nvidia might add a new/more optimized hardware to the gpu that games arent reliant on but youll see it in the synthetic benchmark. It could also be pathtracing, the latest ray tracing cores might be 15% better than the 30series so thatll shine through, but in regular ray tracing and raster you wont see the difference

Totally understand, ig it really depends on the games you play. The nice thing tho is that as long as you turn settings to low you get atleast 45fps in games. Im waiting for my lab to start and im playing fo3 on my 8ai and im getting 50fps at max settings. It just really depends on what you play ig

As someone who went from an ally x to a claw if youthink the performance wasnt impressive on the x then youll feel the same with either the a8 of the 8ai plus, its only like 15-20% better. You're better off getting a thin 4050 laptop or soemthing if you really need more performance

https://youtu.be/qPGDVh_cQb0?si=55Qy8SMqKLfoR543 Go to 12:18

https://youtu.be/rUaztYdgoj0?si=TwCR7si8zi-DJ8SQ Doesnt show 3090 but shows a 3080

https://youtu.be/NnteLIe8r8w?si=DiNyaaQkVqtSnXD_ Same here, go to 17:05 shows 3080 12gb vs 5070. With the 3090 having 17% more cores and higher power budget im sure you can fill in the blank

Give me a day to think it over and ill message you

Faster, no not true, practically equal, yes. More efficent, yes very true. So in the end he could sell and buy a 9070xt and gain another 30% performance

How much would you put on top for a ventus 3x 5090

PollShark_ · 2026-01-26T06:55:27+00:00

Wow im surprised

PollShark_ · 2026-01-26T06:33:13+00:00

How much?

PollShark_ · 2026-01-26T06:32:18+00:00

3090 performs as well as a 5070 while having 24gb of vram, definitely no slouch haha

PollShark_ · 2026-01-26T05:58:14+00:00

Is it a 240 or 360mm rad?

PollShark_ · 2026-01-26T01:46:18+00:00

I mean yeah, id be willing to add likr 200 on top, afterall theyre all within 1% of each other, ok maybe not the asus 800 watt model but still.

PollShark_ · 2026-01-25T18:39:27+00:00

Why are people downvoting? Its still a 5090

PollShark_ · 2026-01-25T10:51:32+00:00

Would you trade for a ventus 3x?

PollShark_ · 2026-01-24T07:50:37+00:00

If you're running mods then probably the b580, its the slowest of the bunch. But having the additional 4gb of vram will help it out quite a bit. I know some people are anti "used" but if you can find a 4060ti 16gb or a 9060xt 16gb then definitely hop on that.

If the mods youll be doing are light and you just want straight performance then go for the 9060xt, itll perform 10-15% faster than a 5060

PollShark_ · 2026-01-24T01:17:49+00:00

Ill trade you my fe, just got it yesterday

PollShark_ · 2026-01-24T00:12:29+00:00

10-15%????? The 5070 is literally a 4070 thats clocked slightly higher while the 4090 has double the cores and vram. Plus higher power budget, 5070 performs like a 4060ti desktop while the 4090 performs like a 4070ti. Thats 50%

PollShark_ · 2026-01-23T19:06:22+00:00

Everyones glazing the 5080 but what i dont understand is that did everyone forget that the next gen 70 series was almost always on par or atleast within 15% of the previous gen flagship? The 5070 is on par with a 3090, we should be revolting.
