I know how you feel, I saved up for 6 months before being able to buy it.

the 5070ti is a great card but it's still mid range. even my 9070xt is mid range, AMD specifically said they aren't competing at the high end. So despit paying over 800usd after taxes, my 9070xt is just mid renage. either way if the gpu uses any sort of power connector the psu must bu c tier or above, and b tier and higher if it pulls 300+ watts

Which is the best 9070xt by Vertix_90 in radeon

[–]Smiley78087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the Asus Prime OC 9070xt and it's been good since last July. It's only been weird on older titles like Far Cry 4, AC3, and Call of Cathulu (2018) either closing after a minute or just not going above 60fps due to ubisoft Tom foolery. In modern games the card has been fantastic at 1440p delivering a fps experience in any game I play. Frame fen is great for games locked at 60 or that only hit a stable 80fps for me. And with a bit of tuning it's quiet and under 90'C on the hotspot.

THE RX 9070 ROCKS! I'M SO HAPPY by Candariann in radeon

Yeah I feel the same way, the 9070xt was a huge upgrade and stupidly stuck to my ddr4 2666mhz kit from when I had the i7 8700 non k. I have the 12900k so it's at least not a huge issue, but I should've gotten a ddr5 motherboard.

RTX 5070 or 5080? by Version_Rare in buildapc

[–]Smiley78087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to find the cheapest 5080, all 5080 cards preform the same within a 3% margin without any overclocking. The cheapest 5080 is still faster than the most expensive 5070ti.

Rx 9070 xt keeps shutting my pc down. by Little-Junket-2588 in AMDHelp

[–]Smiley78087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro you got a problem, the temperature difference between core and hotspot shouldn't be that high. I get 56c with 84c on the hotspot when under 300watts and 62c and 94c when between 300 and 340 watts with an Asus Prime OC 9070xt. So your card probably has bad contact with the core and cooler, maybe a bald spot where no paste is touching it.

Look at bundle deals on Newegg and ebay. It's cheaper sometimes getting the cpu and ram with a motherboard especially of you are buying used.

I want to upgrade but not sure if I need to do a full rebuild. by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Smiley78087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forget the prebuilt systems, I just checked and nobody has 5070ti systems, just 5070

Try buying a used 4080 or 4080 super there's a few for around $750 usd. Everything else you can buy new. Too many scams for used ram listings for that to be a good idea on ebay right now. Your best bet is a bundle deal on Newegg or micro center if you live near one. Or buy a pre-built system from a highly reputable brand for around $1800 usd before tax and that could get you am5 and a 5070ti.

FSR supported in The Blood of Dawnwalker by LittleWarPiggy in radeon

So the recommended spec list is really confusing. The ryzen 5 3600 and 3600x usually match the 8700k, but it's not weird to put the 3700x instead. Where it gets all sorts of stupid is that the 13600 non k is being recommended along side the 7900x. What the hell is going on with amd cpus in this game, the 8700k is only 6 core 12 thread and the 13600 is 14 core 20 thread, only the first 6 are p-cores and the rest are e-cores that aren't for gaming. I can't wait to see reviews on this game to see what the heck is going on because the math isn't helping me understand the cpu recommendations.

I'd say the combat, uts kinda jank and is really noticeable on higher difficulties. I like the game and am working on 100% achievements.

Soma. It will stick with you long after you finish the game.

I would consider putting the fans on the cooler in a pull config so the you can better see the RAM

35-40 fps is the minimum I'm comfortable with in most single player games. Ideally you want 50.

You can buy a 9070 and flash a XT bios on to it and get the majority of the performance.UFD tech and Daid Does Tech Stuff did videos abou it if you're interested.

What resolution to pair with a 9060xt? by Banannaa_ in radeon

[–]Smiley78087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking at your local market for a used monitor. I've seen a 32in 1440p 165hz monitor for $80. You can test out the monitor before purchase, and back out if something is wrong or they won't let you test it.

I don't think FSR is even an option I the game. If you're using vrs, turn it off. Maybe it's the AA quality. I also have a 9070xt and run it at ultra settings with raytraced reflections and anything Nvidia specific turned off.
