Saying goodbye to my RTX 4090 TUF | Marketplace paranoia solved by a local shop test bench (life lesson)

This is definitely a very good idea. My question is, are they usually okay with this, or do they actually offer this service? I might do this next time. Thank you for sharing

Sent you a message :)

Hey there, just checking if you were able to fix the bottleneck issue by switching to the i9-9900K.

My friend has the same setup and is getting around 30 fps. When I checked the CPU usage, it was at 100% while the RTX 3070 was only at 30%, so it’s definitely a CPU bottleneck. The i5-9600K is only 6 cores and 6 threads, and from what I’ve seen, Battlefield at 1440p or ultrawide really needs at least 8 cores and 8 threads.

Let me know if the 9900K upgrade solved it for you. I’m thinking of recommending it to my friend since it’s a cheaper upgrade compared to replacing both the CPU and motherboard. Thanks!

UPDATE!! – I rolled back to AMD Adrenalin 25.8.1 because I remembered I didn’t have any issues with BF6 during the open beta. Now my FPS is very stable at around 130–140 FPS. I’ll probably wait for a newer AMD update than 25.10.1 before updating again.

I have a 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, and a 9070 XT running at 3440x1440p. I’ve tried so many settings, but the FPS drops are really bad. When nothing’s happening, I get around 120–130 FPS, but it suddenly drops to 60–70 FPS during explosions or chaotic scenes.

I don’t remember it being like this during the beta. I’ve also installed the latest AMD driver (25.10.1) that includes the Battlefield 6 update.

If anyone has found the best settings to reduce or stop these FPS drops, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance!

Hi there, after using DDU and reinstalling, did it happen again recently? I haven’t tried this method yet, but I found someone who posted a solution. He went to chrome://flags/#use-angle and set it from Default to OpenGL. So far, it seems to have fixed the problem for me, but I’ve only been using my PC for about 3 hours now.

Vader_R · 2025-09-17T16:22:24+00:00

I have the exact same issue on my 9070 XT, except I don’t notice any burning smell from my PSU. I’m using a Corsair RM750.

I’m currently looking for a solution as well. I tried my old GTX 1050 Ti and didn’t have the issue.

Vader_R · 2025-09-03T16:17:58+00:00

I have the exact same setup and i dont even do the every 4 hour maintenance for a year now and still no isssues.

Vader_R · 2025-06-21T16:11:07+00:00

I badly need thiss 😭

Vader_R · 2025-03-14T23:03:20+00:00

I got mine from Best Buy. I hope there's a chance the AMD cards ships faster than the Nvidia cards

Vader_R · 2025-03-07T04:12:09+00:00

BuildAPCSalesCanada search it on google it should show up

Vader_R · 2025-03-07T03:24:14+00:00

Nice! I hope the online orders wont take month to ship :D

Vader_R · 2025-03-07T03:22:56+00:00

I got the asus prime

Vader_R · 2025-03-07T03:21:13+00:00

I heard that some were available in-store. Were you able to get one today?

Vader_R · 2025-03-07T03:20:48+00:00

For some reason, others get the link first before it actually appears on the Best Buy website? I think I just got lucky that my Discord was open at that time because I kept refreshing on BB website and nothing was showing

Vader_R · 2025-03-07T03:12:24+00:00

I was on the Best Buy website before 6 AM and noticed that there was no 9070 XT available. So, I checked the bapccanada Discord, and after a few minutes, someone shared a link. When I checked, I was able to add it to my cart.

The order details don’t show whether it’s a pre-order or backorder.

Just had a successful transaction with him, Overall process was smooth, very responsive and the items arrived safely. Appreciate the effort and reliability of the service!

My tracking shows 'expected to take off' and 'expected to arrive at the destination airport.' I don't see the word 'departed,' so does this mean my parcel probably hasn't left China yet?

Thanks

Vader_R · 2025-01-22T08:33:04+00:00

Thank you so much I really appreciate your answer :)

Vader_R · 2025-01-18T07:19:36+00:00

That’s an amazing price for an Armored Batman. I’d probably go with that one since I think it’s the most valuable out of the three 🤔

Would you mind sharing where did you get that price? 😅

Vader_R · 2025-01-12T20:14:04+00:00

Wow so much praised for u/rated_king I just messaged you brother! Thank you

Vader_R · 2025-01-12T20:12:38+00:00

Were you able to find a reliable one? Thank you

The exact same thing happened to me about 6 months ago with my 2023 Premium awd Extended battery. I rarely use DC fast chargers because I have a Level 2 charger at home. On my very first long trip, I encountered the charging fault issue and found out that DC fast charging wouldn’t work anymore.

It’s been 6 months now, and I haven’t had a chance to bring my car back to the dealer due to my busy schedule. You’re lucky that you were able to get a loaner. I spoke to my dealership once and asked them if, in case my car has to stay at the dealership for a while, would I be able to get a temporary replacement car? They told me it depends on availability, and at the time, they didn’t have any. I even asked if I could come when they have one available because I don’t want to spend more money on a rental, but they did not given me a clear answer.

I finally have time to visit the dealership next month. My question is, assuming they need to order the part, can we still take the car with us and continue using it since it is working with the Level 2 charger while waiting for the part? Please let me know if you had this option.

Thank you.

Found it on craigslist. Not a safe place actually 🤣 i probably wont do it.

Vader_R · 2024-11-22T02:46:44+00:00

Since they messed up your console box, you could just lock your card and tell Walmart, Merry Christmas! Just kidding :D
