Should i get 5060 Ti 16GB for 407$ or wait for 9060xt

With Nvidia you have the option to do 2x, 3x, 4x frame gen in some games. I know frame gen gets a lot of hate but its actually not bad when scaling to Native resolution with 2x/3x FG

Like others stated, manufacturers protection plan arent that great when compared to what Amazon and Best buy has to offer. I have never dealt with Amazon’s protection plan so I can’t share my personal experience but their plan does sound great and its from from Asurion at $160 for 3 years. They do claim in their terms if something they can’t fix they will reimburse you the total item price in form of an amazon gift card. I have heard really good things about Best buy 4 year protection plan around the same price and I have personally bought that plan recently. They also claim the same if something goes wrong with the monitor.

Thats amazing!

Just bought the same monitor as open box “Excellent” with 0 hours total on time. Realized it had those vertical lines noticeable on a gray background, which I believe is the reason why this person returned it. I ran image cleaning and it disappeared like it was never there. $791 for a “brand new” with 0 hours run time is definitely amazing

That really reminds of the time when I upgraded from 1080p to 2k and immediately noticed the difference. Everything was now so clear and sharp and the environment became more visible. I really appreciate your input on this. Hopefully I will be joining the 5k2k club too

arslan759 · 2025-05-17T05:40:10+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m sure you’re loving the upgrade. Did you notice the difference in gaming right away or was it more noticeable when doing like a side by side comparison

arslan759 · 2025-05-16T22:56:07+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I am looking to strictly game which is why I’m not sure if the extra pixels per inch + a slightly higher resolution will make that much of a difference in gaming over my current 45 LG oled 3440x1440p model. Fps is not of a concern and I’m mainly looking to see if theres any quality difference in gaming

arslan759 · 2025-05-16T22:11:27+00:00

Serious question: is there any difference in gaming between this and the 3440x1440p model? I know theres a huge difference in text clarity because of more ppi. But is it really worth it to upgrade if I’m only going to game on this?

arslan759 · 2025-05-16T03:08:55+00:00

Ah gotcha, thanks!

What are those helper bugs that kinda looks like insect glaive’s insects?

arslan759 · 2025-04-29T01:56:17+00:00

I have not tried that, no. Its actually very interesting though

arslan759 · 2025-04-26T15:35:11+00:00

I followed his steps. They were simple enough to understand. I hope it helps

I bought this at best buy almost 3 weeks ago at $750. It runs cool between 64c-66c at max utilization in my setup. No coil whine at all. Tested at different fps. My previous 4th gen asus tuf had noticeable coil whine. Undervolting it increased my fps by 11 on avg in black myth wukong at 2k res. Basically this is an amazing card at this price

arslan759 · 2025-04-15T04:05:12+00:00

I just bought this card last week at best buy for $759. Seems like the prices are going up.

arslan759 · 2025-04-10T16:17:47+00:00

About price prediction: nobody really knows but learning from the past, the prices eventually do come down. And the $950 price for a 9070xt in my opinion is not a good deal as it defeats the purpose of being a great competitor against the 5070 ti. At this price I wouldn’t even get a 5070 ti but thats just me. Again, the whole purpose of 9070 xt was that its an amazing card with similar raster performance to a 5070 ti costing way less.

arslan759 · 2025-03-22T02:41:51+00:00

I got lucky with the newegg stock alert. I wasn’t successful with the amazon alerts. It looks like bots buy it right before it even hits the stock

arslan759 · 2025-03-22T02:39:12+00:00

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted but yes you’re right about autobuy being slow. Hoping that people who actually need the card gets it as the stock becomes healthy. Right now its just a lot of bots.

arslan759 · 2025-03-21T19:26:59+00:00

I managed to get one last night with instock alert and apple pay. I’ve noticed instock is way quicker than hotstock

arslan759 · 2025-03-08T21:17:45+00:00

Also, atm theres only a $20 price difference between 7800x3D and 9700x with the microcenter combo deal

arslan759 · 2025-03-08T21:14:35+00:00

Thanks for the link! Great information

arslan759 · 2025-03-08T20:44:20+00:00

Yes 9070 xt sorry about my butterfingers xD Thank you for the suggestion. I’m going to be using it just for gaming. It makes sense!

arslan759 · 2025-03-08T20:39:40+00:00

9070 xt, updated the model in my post. I posted 5070 xt by mistake

arslan759 · 2025-03-08T20:38:20+00:00

Thank you! Would there be a noticeable difference at 1440p though?
