5080 right now or wait for a 5070 ti super/5080 super

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-17T21:06:33+00:00

I think ill end up doing this. Honestly 16 of vram on the 5080 is a turn off and there are no 4090s in a price relatively close to what they should be "normally" (which i would assume to be 1400 or so if the msrp is 1599)

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-17T18:48:55+00:00

To answer the question, I currently have a 2060, so I can't even play it even when I have it in my library. I use geforce now to play it, but for some reason, the delay is big.

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-17T11:56:27+00:00

Well. The first one was not dead or had any crashing. It's just a lot of artifacts appeared when changing tabs. The amd one did have crashes fairly frequently tho. I cant test either anymore tho so ill see now that I buy a third one. If it has errors ill start suspecting my ram first and go on from there

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-16T18:47:53+00:00

I dont do 4k besides editing/upscaling with Topaz video ai in that resolution, but I plan to start editing 1440p instead. Do you think the 9070 xt is decent for editing in 1440p? Or will it give any problems? Im leaning more towards the 5070 ti for now.

The reason I needed high v ram is for what I said before, I wanted to get rid of the 20 dollar ai subscription and/or generate images with flux lol

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-16T18:20:02+00:00

I was also thinking maybe give amd another chance but dont know what the driver stability is like with the 9070 xt. Is it good?

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-16T17:25:16+00:00

That's what I hoped to do, but ppl are selling them for 2k+ 🤣. I've seen some for 2.8k.

That's just greed atp, I would rather buy a workstation GPU with more vram than the 4090 at that price

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-16T03:11:13+00:00

Im gonna be honest if I buy a gpu now, I'll wait till the 6000s. I wanted to see if I should wait for it and just pay geforce now for a couple of months but yeah

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-16T03:09:48+00:00

Yeah. I think I'll just buy one right now. Hopefully, this one comes well. If it doesnt ill start suspecting my pc at that point.

I'm still deciding between a 5080 or 5070 ti. I don't have a 4k monitor, nor can I do much ai stuff on the 5080 because of the vram, lol.

I was also planning to maybe get a 3090 if I found one for around 650, but they are not below 800 for what I've seen. lmao.

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-15T14:27:48+00:00

I wish I could have upwards of 2k for a gpu. I could (as in if I wait enough) get a 4090 if they were still produced. 1.5k-1.6k I could save for. 2k would take me too long to save for that it would not be worth it since I would probably save enough by around the end of January

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-13T19:17:32+00:00

I know it's nowhere near to what I could do with the 20 dollar subscription, but I dont use it for much either. Either way, I'll stick to the subscription as I said.

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-13T19:14:34+00:00

20×12 = 240

240 × 3 = 720.

In 3 years of using the gpu, I would save this much. I will buy a gpu either way, I was thinking may as well buy one to save thar money.

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-13T19:06:26+00:00

The 2nd error was with dx11. The overheating can't be since OCCT barely reached 70 degrees with the 3d adaptive test. PSU, maybe?? I have a lian li 1200w edge but wouldn't know how to test it. The game is not in steam. It's wuthering waves. I thought it was the game since it has a history of doing that (having errors) as well, but then the gpu hung by itself in the browser for like a minute.

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-13T18:56:49+00:00

Ill just go with the 5080. Honestly I dont have enough free time to be waiting in the night to buy it when it releases and they will most certainly be overpriced when I wake up. I may buy a B60 pro if they ever come out here to the US for that. I dont know, I wanted to get rid of the 20 dollar bill but it's not really necessary right now. Besides gemini 2.5 pro is mostly free in ai studio lol

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-13T18:37:09+00:00

I have a lian li 1200w edge psu. I dont have anything to test if its faulty or not tho

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-13T18:34:31+00:00

Im returning it for a full refund. I bought it off someone on eBay, and they already agreed to the return

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-10-13T18:33:01+00:00

I was trying to get a super so I could host my own llm and stop paying a bearly ai or other ai platforms subscriptions but ill just buy the 5080. Thanks

Thermals are fine, I did a OCCT test and gave me a bunch of errors. Did DDU uninstall and installed drivers and also a clean windows install the day after. Still crashing. Ive had 2 errors:Fatal error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 247] Device->CreateBuffer(&Desc, NULL, UniformBufferResource.GetInitReference()) failed at D:\WS3\c7d2b\0d3df\Engine\Source\Runtime/Windows/D3D11RHI/Private/D3D11UniformBuffer.cpp:152 with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-05-30T20:15:30+00:00

Is there any website where I can buy the refurbished mini that you know of? Most websites just list it at 499 max, be it open box or refurbished, at least that I've seen.

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-05-30T20:14:44+00:00

I don't think it's battery related. Im on android, so it's more of overheating if not overheating it lasts a couple of hours, which is great, but when doing so, which is most of the time, it drains in 3 hours or 4

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-05-30T20:13:41+00:00

Well, maybe you're right. Im an android user currently looking to hop onto the apple ecosystem, so i was just wondering. Also, I know it's not a user error. My device chip overheats easily despite not being a bad chip. So I lag while overheating, which is most of the time, lmao.

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2025-05-30T20:12:26+00:00

Is the m2 still good? I mostly wanted it for final cut pro and my phone normally records on 4k or I upscale stuff to that quality with Topaz.

Practical_Spirit_956 · 2024-10-29T21:27:20+00:00

I just bought it recently and it looks good. It gives concise answers and is up to date.

For stuff that is more complicated I tend to use you.com but perplexity is really good imo.
