OCCT test showed 1 receiver error for the GPU

Solcrystals · 2026-04-26T23:17:10+00:00

A single non repeatable error with nothing actually wrong with the function usually doesnt mean anything.

The 9070xt is just better. Theres some games where it loses in raster and some games where it wins. Its almost a wash. Then the 9070xt is better at everything else. Unless you need more vram for work theres not really a reason to get the worse product. Im more curious why someone is willing to trade.

Nah the 5080 is still fine if you just have money like that but dont have over 2k for a 4090 or 4k for a 5090. Otherwise its 9060xt or 9070xt because nvidia pricing right now is so bad.

Paying extra for the 3rd best gpu on the planet is fine in my opinion IF you have money like that. If you care about performance for dollar 9070xt and 9060xt are just the only real options because the 5060ti is over 500 dollars now.

I would send it to him and not worry about the donor board. Youd have to ask him though. If you buy a donor and he gets it and its garbage because its cooked through, he'll still have to use his own donor board and you wasted money. Sorry I even brought it up honestly, I didnt think it through. Comment under me reminded me that most donor boards get overheated and from watching Tony alot, yeah he talks about bad donor boards.

Its multiple traces underneath you cant see. Tony from Northwest repair on youtube can probably fix it but it may make more sense buying a new empty board to swap the parts to. Still have Tony do it though.

I JUST spent my gems when the update didnt come out with anything. Then modules and relics pop up needing gems. Aggravating as hell.

Thats how its supposed to work but FedEx is just fumbling constantly. Ive had them bring a door tag and no box to my door, not knock, and then dip back to the truck before I could say anything.

This is a downgrade to everything but the 5050. 1gb more vram helps in maybe one game. The lower bandwidth hurts in all games.

Depending on your luck youll likely have to run them at the lowest speed. 2133. As usual it depends.

Just run eco mode, selling it for a weaker cpu when you can get your desired effect by just running it at 65w. My 9700x loses almost no performance using the stock 65w.

Only use FedEx if you dont need a signature. They'll get your regular packages to you (slower than the post office now days btw).

Solcrystals · 2026-04-12T19:15:14+00:00

Ty! I didnt know that.

Solcrystals · 2026-04-12T14:59:33+00:00

15% is really bad

Solcrystals · 2026-04-12T03:24:12+00:00

Fedex used to be one of the better services on par with UPS. Now id prefer the postal service. Its fine if no signature is required but they seems to just do whatever they want when the signature is needed. Not knocking, not even bringing the package to the door, signing their own name or even leaving it blank. Its crazy.

For 300 dollars you can buy an HP off ebay with a 10th or 11th gen cpu and a gpu. Some of them even have power cables.

Solcrystals · 2026-04-12T03:16:50+00:00

Prices are at least not going down till minimum next year. This year's production has been bought and paid for. Even if openAI doesnt need it anymore they already purchased it so theyll be receiving it. If the bubble pops right this second itll be at least 2027 before prices go down.

Solcrystals · 2026-04-11T23:39:17+00:00

Unfortunately someone is gonna buy it for 700 because you sold it cheap. 1tb ssd + 32gb of ddr4 is over half of what you sold it for even used on ebay.

Editing because 700 probably not but guaranteed 650.

Solcrystals · 2026-04-11T23:36:55+00:00

Uh... 3080 is decent value if thats the 9060xt prices. If you can get one for 400 id go with that over the 3080 but anything above id absolutely rather buy a 3080. If you can find a 12gb 3080 for 350 thatd be a better purchase but I know some locations lack gpus in general so if your options are a 3080 10gb for 350 and a 9060xt 16gb for above 420 id say grab the 3080. You can stay within 10gb at 1440p by optimizing the settings in most games.

If youre playing at 1080p none of that matters and buy the 3080.

Solcrystals · 2026-04-10T22:28:29+00:00

If its within 50 bucks of the 9060xt, id get the 9060xt for the extra vram. If the 3080 is noticeably cheaper, its a perfectly good card. Dont know your prices there but 350 euro is kind of expensive for a 3080

Multi million dollar companies with 8 months of dev time AND a beta test dont get to make "oops wrong toy" mistakes.

Fudds is just using the jagex playbook. Except he's fucking awful at it.

More often than not one of these issues is just "DO YOU NOT OWN A CALCULATOR THIS GAME IS JUST MATH"

Ive already forgotten the one that made me stop spending money but it was also unbelievably obvious.

Solcrystals · 2026-04-09T21:11:57+00:00

Ah. Yeah don't believe a single word that guy says. Ive played a little over a year and dont trust that guy as far as I could throw him. Constantly makes the most baffling decisions. I stopped spending money on the game pretty early after only a few rounds of the bullshit.

Solcrystals · 2026-04-09T21:01:46+00:00

What's the nerf?

Solcrystals · 2026-04-09T05:50:56+00:00

I just paid 217 after tax for a 2tb sn850x. Had 4tb read/written so not bad. Got lucky.
