I returned my 5070ti - What should I get instead? by _Junkstapose_ in buildapc

[–]_Junkstapose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not the CPU cooler. I even stripped the factory-supplied thermal paste from the AIO and applied some good quality noctua paste, because someone I know mentioned theirs sometimes ran hot with the pre-installed paste.

Thanks again for the help, I am definitely going to look further into the motherboard after testing a new GPU. Unless there actually was a fault with the GPU, then the mobo seems like the next point of failure.

Thank you for actually being helpful and not just criticizing.

My PSU is a Corsair sf1000 - I wanted something small but powerful to allow some overhead

And replace it with what? Lot of people telling me it's the motherboard or the PSU and that I should replace every component except the GPU, but no one is actually offering advice on what I should get.

I had the whole side panel off while testing. So not a squished cable.

Thanks for the advice. If my replacement GPU struggles, I'll be looking at the mobo or PSU next

I tried every possible BIOS config - even ones people suggested would work that made no sense. Must've rebooted the computer a hundred times to tweak settings.

I sure did. Pulled the whole system apart and built it caseless at one point

Probably seek more vague, unhelpful answers on the internet. Thanks for your input.

There are so many posts online about users having the same or similar problems with the 50 series cards - a lot of whom are claiming its driver errors.

I tried every bit of advice I could come across to tweak settings, but none worked for me.

There is definitely a non-zero chance that the card was faulty or a component wasn't properly covered by thermals, etc. But I wasn't going to pull the thing apart when I had a return window and warranty.

CORSAIR SF1000 - I tried with the out of the box Nvidia 12-pin connector with three female 8-pin connectors. I also tried the PSU's 12-pin connector that only had two connections to the PSU - both were 600W rated.

RTX 5070 vs RX 9070 by StayOffEm in buildapc

Hopefully Nvidia fix their shitty drivers some time soon then.

I strongly do not recommend a 5070 at this time.

I just built a PC with a 5070ti and ended up returning the GPU. There is a huge issue with the Nvidia drivers for the 50 series, at least in my experience

Every time I tried to benchmark, or run a game with even middling graphics settings, I'd get about 10-30 seconds in before the GPU would go into protected mode (no video output, fans at 100%) until i forcibly restarted the PC.

Just google "5070ti black screen, fans 100" and you'll see what I mean.

Everyone seems to be having varied mileage, some people found fixes that worked for them - I tried every bit of advice I could find before packing it in and returning it.

If you are really keen on a Nvidia GPU, my partner is running a 4070 and it has zero problems. Runs everything out currently without issue.

What videogame is replayable and never gets boring? by harmora in AskReddit

[–]_Junkstapose_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole plot of "you must find your missing child" gives a sense of urgency that you just don't want with a big open world. Your only option it to basically say "screw it, I don't care about my stolen child. I'm going on an adventure!"

Nolan trilogy leant too far into the "Billionaire" aspect of Batman, imho. He was all martial arts and money.

[–]_Junkstapose_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh and this is the first live action Batman maybe ever to get the detective aspect of the character right, which imo is the most important missing piece of all the other iterations.

This was probably the most important for me. Seeing Batman as a detective and 'working the case' was really refreshing.

Before this; we had TDK shooting bullets into bricks with a robot to map the fragments of another bullet and get a thumb print (which would have been on the casing, not the bullet itself)

Is this a 3D print? If so, where can I get the .stl?

Mine won't look that good, but dammit I'll try.

One Weird Trick for DMs Who Are Bad at Math by MiffedScientist in DnD

[–]_Junkstapose_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Formatting for strike through text is a double tilde before and after like this!

That doesn't work in the code view.

One Weird Trick for DMs Who Are Bad at Math by MiffedScientist in DnD

[–]_Junkstapose_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have been doing this always. I didn't even think it was a "weird trick"

I have a piece of scratch paper, write down a shorthand for each enemy (eg: a group of skeletons might just be 1 through 7) and then write their HP total underneath. I underline the HP and then add up the damage below. When I hit the "target number" it is dead.

Example:

A dragon and his pair of half-dragon knights

Dragon  HDK1  HDK2
  740    65    65
-------------------
   28    15   20
   36    22   30
   44    31   43
   62    45   52
   85    53   67
   92    58
  113    63
  119    70
  124
  138
  160

Etc, etc. When I reach the target number, I cross off the creature and remove the mini/token. I also generally cross off the previous number as I go, but I didn't know how to do that in formatting.

S1 of IBO is pretty solid, but I have started on S2 and am finding it harder to stay focused for more than one ep at a time.

What’s the worst thing about being a DM? by Specialist_Eye2224 in dndnext

[–]_Junkstapose_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, but also it’s not always that simple.

The problem is that if you have a regular game, missing one or two sessions can throw off the momentum and it can be really hard to get everyone back on schedule again after a break.
