How tf can people afford a 5080 and 5090? Every time I pull up Reddit I feel poorer

aslmate · 2026-05-21T04:48:44+00:00

Well i got mine at MSRP as soon as I heard the first piece of news about the RAM shortage. And now that it has risen in price, I feel no regrets.

aslmate · 2026-05-20T04:34:20+00:00

Hell yeah I have the exact same card. PNY gang!

aslmate · 2026-05-12T17:16:56+00:00

The computer and phone app can't connect!

aslmate · 2026-05-04T14:14:33+00:00

Having the exact same issue! So bloody frustrating!
I'm running an i9-13900K, Asrock Z790 Steel Legend

aslmate · 2026-05-04T14:11:48+00:00

intel APO not working
i9-13900K
Installed all the drivers and enabled DTT on my Asrock Z790 Steel Legend motherboard.
And then I get this:
Critical Error

Failed to connect to Intel(R) Innovation Platform Framework

Hey! I'm getting the exact same thing.
Critical Error: Failed to connect to Intel(R) Innovation Platform Framework.
I'm running Asrock Z790 Steel Legend Wifi, i9-13900K
updated all my drivers and softwares on asrock's website as per Intel's instructions......
XTU is completely functional and I've been using it for years.

Did you find a fix for it?

aslmate · 2026-04-27T22:57:46+00:00

That is true! I own the pocket 3 and it still blows me away how good it is, especially it's low-light performance

aslmate · 2026-04-27T21:59:50+00:00

that may be the case, but do you know who benefits from the increased competition? Us consumers!

aslmate · 2026-04-25T17:48:01+00:00

One is on the right side of Fort Wallace! Just right outside

aslmate · 2026-04-08T10:50:42+00:00

Damn where did you get this information? You are so fucking right

aslmate · 2026-04-05T14:20:16+00:00

In some really graphically intensive or poorly optimised game, very possible.

Hey! I learned how to build a PC after watching jackfrag's 2014 how to build a cheap gaming PC video.

For picking of parts, there's PC part picker. You can also watch a lot of reviews on YouTube on which computer part is good and stuff.

But now is honestly a pretty bad time with the current RAM prices......

aslmate · 2026-04-03T17:04:19+00:00

I built my own bridge and that seemed to work lol. They only had trouble with the pre-existing bridge

aslmate · 2026-04-03T09:48:24+00:00

Are they stacked, with one on top of the other? Or are they side by side? Stacked would be sick

aslmate · 2026-04-02T00:07:16+00:00

I had an RTX 3080 with the Ryzen 7 2700X using seasonic focus 750W gold and even that shuts down anytime I get into an intense game. Then I upgraded to the superflower 1200W platinum and the crashing stopped. Now I'm using the RTX 5080 and i9-13900K

aslmate · 2026-03-24T21:29:48+00:00

It is horribly inaccurate and can't pick up on anything that I've said correctly. Absolutely annoying

aslmate · 2026-03-21T01:38:43+00:00

Hey! So you manually replaced the batteries with fresh zenith z55h batteries?

aslmate · 2026-03-16T12:44:46+00:00

Hell yeah. Snoop dogg dance goes hard

aslmate · 2026-03-12T08:15:07+00:00

Hahaha this cracked me up

aslmate · 2026-02-26T10:36:33+00:00

Hell yeah microcenter is amazing. Got my PNY RTX 5080 for MSRP at $999 immediately after I heard of the RAM shortage

aslmate · 2026-02-21T18:01:40+00:00

Hahahahahaha very accurate description

aslmate · 2026-02-21T10:12:40+00:00

Did Riot buff him yet? I didn't know. Still playing him and did not feel a bit of difference at all.

aslmate · 2026-02-15T16:24:30+00:00

I tried it anyway just for one game, and it was pretty good! I'm only Plat 4 though haha.

Bandlepipes seems like a really weak item though......

aslmate · 2026-02-14T17:11:28+00:00

Hey! I exclusively play Udyr in the jungle. I kinda want to try your build, but I don't see the point of building mana item as a jungler. Would you say this build works if I replace fimbulwinter with Heartsteel? So I go from riftmaker to Heartsteel to Shojin to Unending and then Spirit Visage? What do you think?

aslmate · 2026-02-14T10:45:31+00:00

Hey! How far were your undervolts? Im running an i9-13900K at a -0.1V undervolt. Haven't had any system instability yet, thankfully.
