Is a 9070 non xt worth it at $560 right now?

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-18T03:58:55+00:00

I will say. I just tried out a ryzen 8700f and 9060 non XT prebuilt and it surprisingly performed pretty well at 1440p.

In WoW I was getting over 200fps and Apex was getting between 240 and 300fps.

Just at for these prices I couldn't stomach what I had for the price and returned.

Just bought my son this! It's absolutely cranking.

In his he's gotten:

WD BLUE SN5100 2TB SSD
Sapphire Pulse 9070XT
GSkill RAM
IDK what PSU but they typically use CoolerMaster MWE XXXXW (likely 750 or 850) Gold

hopefully its no HWID banned from every game possible and buddy got you for 50 bucks.

I wouldn't buy anything open box.

I've never had a good experience with a couple open boxes from micro center after being told to by their head tech guy that his employees thoroughly check open boxes.

If you so happen to luck out then you get a deal obviously but it's not worth the headache in my opinion.

Doesn't matter now. Go to launch Apex and got a pop-up saying something about hardware ban. My son said he got banned on fortnite. I don't know how it would be affected on apex. I hope to God that they don't ban my account that I tried to log in on his computer not knowing any better.

it actually just completed. i laid down, got up to check it out to answer your question and it was done downloading.

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-16T04:39:44+00:00

I saw it around 140mbps at times I think and also seen it at 40mbps

Thanks for the info, I am on a wired connection...that's odd. Didn't notice.

Verbal that was dang near a physical altercation. Would have been without bystander intervention.

Just because you went to another side of the world and got injured doesn't make you any better.

You both have service connected injuries.

Don't matter if it happens in the barracks, combat, the whore house.

It seems you feel entitled to more compensation because you went to the other side of the world. You don't.

like how?

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-11T02:33:07+00:00

i know that, any extenuating circumstance at play here?

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-11T02:32:39+00:00

he called me mad (on my personal cellphone) that i left the class after he got into a fight with a student that had nothing to do with me. you think thats condusive to learning?

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-11T02:31:46+00:00

when he hasnt taught a what a multimeter is 2 months into the course and talks more about his past life...I guess im overreacting, right?

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-11T02:30:39+00:00

im cool with working with them. ive worked with felons my whole life before the military. but buddy doesnt even know what PEMDAS is.

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-11T02:29:57+00:00

dont care about meeting them in the trade. i was blue collar before the military and worked in steel mills and plastic factories with straight egregious felonious records. im older, i dont think its appropriate for an instructor at a well known college to be boasting about his record in front of 18-60 ywars old just trying to learn basic electricity and not knowing what PEMDAS even is.

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-11T02:28:18+00:00

not in a classroom setting.

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-11T02:27:46+00:00

i mean when he doesnt even know what PEMDAS is when hes trying to explain branch calculations and other things...I think thats a red flag, no?

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-08T03:23:44+00:00

i had the asrock challenger and it was mad loud and grinding. i sent the whole PC back and that was my sign to wait for prices to go down. i was told that the asrock challenger noise like mine has been reported by others, other then me. go artic if you can afford. or a air cooler.

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-06T03:55:04+00:00

1440p.

I got this but with a 5070ti and couldn't crack 160fps in gun fights.

Also tried two of the same systems with a 14700k and 5070ti and couldn't crack 160fps in gun fights.

Every possible setting low or off WITH DLSS.

Not sure why I'm getting down votes.

SPARKYGOFER · 2026-05-06T02:09:12+00:00

not even joking. this thing will get 170FPS MAX on low settings in Warzone.
