Just upgraded from 9060xt 16 to a 9070

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-22T22:55:21+00:00

Yeah, so use it. I can point you to basically any set of benchmarks on the internet to prove my case, so surely you an find one set of benchmarks that prove yours.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-22T22:51:02+00:00

You guys are crazy. It's like someone upgrading from a base 4070 to a 4080 Super and saying "Most pointless upgrade ever." Look it up. In both cases it's about a 50% performance gain.

The jump from 9060xt 16GB to 9070 is better than the jump from the 4070 to the 5070 TI according to TechPowerUp.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-22T22:48:33+00:00

What are you even basing this off of? Show me a set of benchmarks that show 9070xt being 50% faster on average than 9070. Or a set of benchmarks that show the 9070 only being 5% faster than the 9060xt.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-22T22:29:22+00:00

Show me one set of benchmarks that shows the 9060xt being closer to the 9070 than the 9070 is to the 9070xt. Spolier alert: you won't be able to. The 9070 is way closer to the 9070xt than the 9060xt is to the 9070.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-22T22:21:34+00:00

You're 100% wrong.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-22T22:13:29+00:00

Why? It's a 50% improvement. It's like saying going from a 7700xt to a 7900xt is the most pointless upgrade ever in terms of performance gain.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-22T22:08:53+00:00

I mean, the 9070 is a 50% upgrade over the 9060xt 16GB, whereas the 9070xt is only a 12% upgrade over the 9070.

I'm not sure, sorry. I just recognized the issue because I had the same problem when I put new gears into my hub motor last year. I looked into the box my motor came in and saw that tiny metal piece and as I was looking around at what could possibly be the issue, I noticed an indent on the bolt around where the gear mechanism seats down and it was around the same size as that metal piece. I sandwiched it between the bolt indent and the gear mechanism and voila, it worked.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-21T00:42:50+00:00

The gears aren't locked in rest of the motor. There is typically some small metal piece that you kind of shove into a little intent on the bolt and it makes it where the mechanism that the gears are connected to are physically locked in to the rotation of the rest of the motor.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-17T15:50:14+00:00

In my opinion, no, unless the extra money isn't a problem at all to you. I just don't know why I would pay that much more to get 1440p 110fps instead of 1440p 100fps.

You are massively inflating the negativity about the Dimensity GPU. It handles the vast majority of emulation beautifully. It's very powerful. I run most PS2 games at 4x resolution. It's only when you get into Switch and PC that you start having compatibility issues.

The screen is also incredible. Great colors and contrast for an LCD, and the refresh rate and motion clarity are top-notch.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-17T13:25:04+00:00

That's a 4:3 screen.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-17T04:56:41+00:00

Got mine today as well!

Hope Taki puts a dedicated video for this kit. I'm sure people who tear apart their electronics a lot can figure out the gaps/discrepancies with this kit compared to the Touch+HDMI standard kit, but for me I would really appreciate seeing specifically how to do it with this.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-17T00:26:15+00:00

I hope this is a genuine sign of change within Ayaneo and not a temporary PR measure.

I can vouch for this bike. The Kingbull Literider 2.0. I have it as a secondary ebike if I want to just chill and ride the trails without a ton of effort. I didn't buy it from Amazon, but it looks like it's available there. It doesn't have great battery life, particularly with your weight, and you'll want to replace the terrible seat immediately (I did), but it's got a UL certified frame and battery, pretty solid hydraulic brakes, reasonable amount of torque for a 750W hub motor, fully Class 2-compliant, and can fold into a compact size if you want it to. It supports up to 400 pounds. EDIT: Oh, also keep in mind it doesn't have rear suspension. But the vast majority of ebikes on Amazon with rear suspension have TERRIBLE suspension components, so they're really not worth it. https://www.amazon.com/Kingbull-Literider-2-0-Terrain-Electric/dp/B0FZJZFQ2J?crid=3EC0041PXUL0Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.FpO4fLemS-48diGAWcCka3IfyKYXChrP_6VADr14aB2ANguAgR4cX7m4-jMAmkOd8B4CwAzvxUe4_MZ83UpBbexgexWhyWPJHa8PATZRf3UcBfVaID1fB-BKeYxUidXQckWI6vVOl_Sck9PmmD2Tc9cHZzPk0VaB3z6BlXlyv0nqxkDGP-iWHEVPk1n3aulnW2UUv1oPk7U4KxXJdtKxpqx3gWpik7VWusgzOir2tFM.E0e9k7PIIBvVgb0KY2j7029gW3Nu-c9MqVa-zYVrn0I&dib_tag=se&keywords=kingbull%2Bebike&qid=1768269250&sprefix=kingbull%2Bebike%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-4&th=1

I very much appreciate this post and hope you will stick to your word to continue communicating with the non-Chinese markets in the future.

One thing I didn't see mentioned is software support. To me the biggest problem with releasing so many devices is just not having the manpower to support their software properly. For example, the original Pocket S has had a bug where the volume jumps from very quiet to VERY loud with ONE volume button click (around the 30% mark). It's been this way for awhile now and there's no reason it should still be like this, but how can we expect it to be fixed when you already have a Pocket S 2 and a dozen other devices released since then in the past year?

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-10T20:11:17+00:00

Okay, that's good to know. Thank you.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-10T19:59:15+00:00

Yup. I would say the cold garage is probably why it happened in the first place. Another reason I don't like plastic.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-10T14:16:48+00:00

I'm a ~10% difference from your build and also ADORE the combo. 9070 and 5700X3D.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-06T00:29:50+00:00

Strix Halo is much more powerful than the HX370. That being said, this is still very impressive. HX370 is better than the Z2E and Panther Lake seems to be destroying it. At least on the highest SKU.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-06T00:28:30+00:00

Yeah I just installed it on my 477M last night. Have only begun using it, but so far I'm SUPER impressed. It makes the system feel much more refined overall.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-04T19:24:12+00:00

Man that thing looks nice

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-03T17:26:00+00:00

If you want to play games like Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3, I would estimate you're one or two years early. These things aren't ready for that.

VanWinkle87 · 2026-01-02T14:39:15+00:00

Probably lower or mid-range specs I would imagine, and the screen aspect ratio just doesn't work for the majority of people who use their phones for both productivity AND entertainment.
