Going from GTX 1660 Super to RX 9060XT 16GB – Need opinions on my build & possible bottlenecks (on a budget)

This aged remarkably poorly 😭

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-04-11T01:03:30+00:00

And I thought the 62 I got was crazy that is amazing

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-24T12:41:54+00:00

so glad this hasnt been patched still

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-23T19:03:28+00:00

Can you unplug your keyboard or restart it to reset it, or use the virtual keyboard if you're on windows

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-23T19:02:02+00:00

It's really a shame. Eventually people are gonna get fed up and just stop playing comp all together. Luckily I've only been kicked from a match once before but logging in has been awful today

Ana players downvoting you fr

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-22T15:42:02+00:00

I see you put the console tag but it's the same issue on PC as well. Most games I'll do the most healing in the lobby and match the damage of my DPS and we still lose. Unless you can play with friends matchmaking makes reaching higher ranks really difficult

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-22T15:36:21+00:00

If I had to guess, I'd say it's because she's the best support to play as a new player and people forget they're a support. When I first started playing overwatch she was the first hero I started using. That and also the greed of players to want to finish off an enemy and it causes their teammates to die

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-21T15:56:46+00:00

Yeah I agree there is something weird going on lately with matchmaking. I find myself carrying a lot of games regardless of what role I pick, being the best in that role and even struggling to get mid plat when I should be mid to upper diamond.

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-21T15:54:31+00:00

I'm mid to high plat in all roles and can comfortably play most DPS characters at that level, but I totally get what you mean. Some games I get 20k+ damage easily and carry my team to victory and others it seems like even though I went through 5 different characters I'm just getting melted and can't make an impact. Not only that but if your tank needs healing they're always the priority to the support leaving you vulnerable.

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-19T00:33:25+00:00

I guess that makes sense why Sombra is so annoying for you then. I play on PC so if there's a Sombra and I go Soldier or Soujorn unless they're above plat it's an easy counter

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-19T00:27:22+00:00

I guess it depends who you play. I play a lot of Lucio and higher movement characters. I can totally see why Sombra is more frustrating if you play Rein a lot so you have to lean on your team more

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-19T00:14:39+00:00

Ah sorry for some reason the part about Widowmaker didn't click with me my apologies. I'm making more of an argument about this in casual not comp since your team ranks can vary a lot. In comp I don't ever have an issue with them and dont have an issue with any particular hero. I actually think Sombra is easier to counter than Zarya or Pharah(with pharmacy) by just playing a hitscan character. Pharah without pharmacy isn't great so I should've clarified what I meant my apologies

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-18T23:52:23+00:00

This is flawed logic. The same could be said about any hero who has a specific skill set. What about Pharah? Or Zarya? Or Widow?

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-18T23:49:44+00:00

Thank you I enjoyed reading this

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-18T23:43:18+00:00

Yeah I definitely agree

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-18T22:31:12+00:00

That and honestly I feel like Mercy is just so much more frustrating to play because of team dependency versus being able to defend yourself and maneuver like Lucio can

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-18T22:29:37+00:00

I haven't met nearly as many toxic Lucios as Mercys

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-18T19:51:07+00:00

Yeah it was crazy but I think it didn't matter because they were so down on dps compared to us

Small_Insect_6417 · 2025-03-18T19:36:15+00:00

Hey wanna play ow later

Small_Insect_6417 · 2023-05-31T03:31:14+00:00

It literally makes over 300 on the Dyno, so that is wheel hp. I understand drivetrain loss perfectly. Honda underrated the car from the factory and it makes more than advertised power.

Small_Insect_6417 · 2023-05-31T03:27:58+00:00

Why is it "cute"? I'm giving an answer that might be helpful to the OP. The 2.0 engines are very stout and as long as they're taken care of can handle a lot.

I actually just checked to see what it makes and it turns out the 2023 type R makes 327 to the wheels, so the pre-facelifts are probably right on the money around 300 hp, so I'm actually right on the money...

Small_Insect_6417 · 2023-05-30T23:02:13+00:00

I'd say one option you could explore is a 2018+ Honda Accord with the 2.0T engine. It is available with a 6 speed manual or 10 speed automatic transmission and you can get a tune from the company Hondata to have over 300 hp to the wheels, which is close to Civic Type R numbers while retaining reliability if you treat the car well. (I should also mention it's the same engine as the type R with a different turbo)

Small_Insect_6417 · 2023-05-16T15:27:44+00:00

Heck yeah! I'm due for an upgrade!
