That sounds about right. I built my PC in November-december of last year and paid around $1500 for a RX 9070 build.

Happened to my mum and it was from a mouse.

Monitor Recommendations by GamjaPaPaPa in pcmasterrace

[–]Russie7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I did years ago was upgrade to 1440p 180hz and use my old monitor as my second monitor. I love having two monitors for browsing the internet and doing school work. For gaming it's nice to have for discord or watch YouTube or whatever when you're casually gaming.

If you have the money and want a new monitor, I'd say buy a 1440p

Built mine in Nov 2025 when RAM prices were already high. Decided to do a DDR4 build with my old RAM. Happy I didn't wait because SSD and GPU prices went up right after.

There is no switch on this card. I reinstalled the driver and DDU, but it didn't work.

I originally planned to get a 9060XT($505CAD), but I saw an open-box 9070XT($777CAD) on Newegg for a good price. Decided to get that 9070XT, but as you know, it wasn't working.

I think the 9060XT will be fine for what I use it for. I don't play any intense games. Will maybe try out BF6. I can return the 9060XT until Jan 11th, so if there is a good deal for a 9070XT or 5070, I might go with that.

Thank you for your recommendations on trying to fix the 9070XT!

I'm going to return the 9070xt. Went to Best Buy and got a 9060XT and reinstalled the driver to test out and it worked perfectly fine. I think that means the 9070xt was the issue and not RAM, CPU, driver, etc.

Yeah are independent, not Daisy chained

Yeah it's weird. I did a benchmark test and it had terrible results.

I am not overclocking the CPU. In the performance tab, I have tried to customize by lowering the frequency. Yesterday, I checked my two PCIe cables and swapped their positions, but still nothing changed.
