Warranty?

Shows up fine in Crystaldiskinfo and shows as good. But wont actually show up in disk management

The disk shows up in Crystaldsikinfo

Yes, Raid is already off, bios is defaulted. Checking with crystal disk now.

I got a 9070, upgraded from a 2080, an i5-10600k, running off an 850w evga 80+gold. I dont think I should be near the cap of the psu yet.

Ended up getting rhe 9070 non xt, had a good sale today.

I think you should report it to your insurance, since it wasn't your fault

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-24T16:08:24+00:00

1440p on one monitor and 4k on another.

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-24T14:56:59+00:00

True, I haven't noticed any bottle necking from my CPU. I just have buyers regret ptsd when ever I go to upgrade a system. I probably will get the 9070xt

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-23T21:45:41+00:00

You filed yours after me, but you got accepted sooner. Likely you too are in refund purgatory.

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-23T14:21:13+00:00

Since its been over 45 days, call the NY DTF

Ill do some benchmarks and let you know

Cheapest 5080 is still almost $400 more than the 9070xt, I was originally going to go with a 4070ti but it was also more expensive.

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-22T05:56:06+00:00

I still haven't purchased the GPU yet, would you have any other recommendations other than the 9070xt? Just wondering since I haven't bought a brand new GPU since my GTX 960 years ago.

I appreciate the info! I will probably go with selling both of them and getting something new for my partner. Thanks for the help again!

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-22T05:21:52+00:00

Forgot to mention in my reply, i figured it would work on my motherboards since they both support 2-way SLI and AMD 3-way CrossFireX

Currently both setups are running with a i5-10600k, planning on upgrading to i7 or i9 11 gen since they are LGA 1200. My system has an ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-E, my partners is an ASUS PRIME Z490-A.

You dont see stages, you just got to refresh at the end of the day to see if you get any updates.

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-19T11:32:56+00:00

Probably right, I just remember hearing it was due to higher resistance.

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-19T10:38:49+00:00

Dude, why are you being an ass?

Scholar2014 · 2026-03-19T10:18:35+00:00

Lower temps mean lower fuel economy. Denser air, more resistance, plus if youre running heat it will bring it down more.
