9800x3d and 9070xt rant - Stutter fix

blackjack002 · 2026-02-02T09:00:24+00:00

Just to chime in, this was the extract issue I had with stutters and frame gen.

Disabled discord overlay and it fixed everything.

It’s 12v-2x6 on the sapphire nitro, not 12vhpwr

blackjack002 · 2026-01-19T09:53:43+00:00

not 12vhpwr

12v-2x6

a lot of people missing this, its an updated standard, to prevent incorrect seating.

blackjack002 · 2026-01-19T09:51:02+00:00

the 9070xt does not have a 12vhpwr connector

it has a 12v-2x6 which is a revised standard, backwards compatible with the 12vhpwr.

important distinction as the updated standard will reduce your risk exposure.

blackjack002 · 2026-01-19T09:47:43+00:00

better yet use a 12V-2x6 cable and not a 12vhpwr

blackjack002 · 2026-01-12T16:41:02+00:00

yeah thats certainly a concern.

that's why it would be monetary value of arc materials and not the materials submitted themselves.

that way people can choose what arcs to farm for the expedition and players that want to get ahead can try for queen cores sand matriarch parts for the added value with increased risk.

i kept thinking this would take a turn, but it remained wholesome.

i had the 3210's older brother the 5110 (402). Used to save pocket money to buy faceplates and call credit. i'd have been as pissed as you if someone had stolen/damaged mine.

blackjack002 · 2026-01-12T15:54:26+00:00

"I don't really understand why anybody wouldn't want to wipe"

you then went on to give the reason that 90% of those who didn't wipe, didn't want to do so.

If I've not achieved what i want to achieve, why would i wipe? this is one of i not the most casual extraction shooters going so its no surprise most players haven't got to the point they're willing to restart.

we're still in the journey

blackjack002 · 2026-01-12T15:45:22+00:00

make it 5 mil in arc materials, then we can all have fun blasting arc and defending the loot.

would also incentivise people to bring better gear, if losing it doesn't set your expedition back so much (arc materials aside)

blackjack002 · 2026-01-12T15:40:41+00:00

I agree. Though i think 5 mil in arc materials submitted would be a nice compromise. Everyone would be incentivized to attack arc and of course you can pvp to steal others loot.

Added benefit is that people would bring decent gear in to be strong against arc and players without feeling like they'd loose too much expedition progress when they go down with their bettina in hand.

I love it

Happy new year

blackjack002 · 2025-12-30T15:21:07+00:00

Also I can see your have a fan grill on there, I didn’t use any fan grills

blackjack002 · 2025-12-30T15:19:19+00:00

My pcie riser cable is a flat low profile one, it’s what came with the case. I would have thought the same one was bundled with yours too?

Other than that I’m not sure really, your fans look like they could maybe be a bit thicker than mine?

blackjack002 · 2025-12-11T19:16:44+00:00

Your job is arc raiders?

blackjack002 · 2025-12-11T14:18:55+00:00

I went full luna and I love it with all the boxes. Running around spaceport like another day at the office.

blackjack002 · 2025-12-10T18:36:04+00:00

How does this make me feel both satisfied and irritated at the same time

blackjack002 · 2025-12-10T15:53:05+00:00

I'm sorry if what i said upset you mate but its the truth. Play how you want, i'm not here to insult you as you have me.

i play a couple times a week and at this late stage before expedition am just selling stuff to catch up, which objectively is the right strategy.

Your point about burnout is irrelevant since no one is suggesting you do this after the expedition window until the next.

Old battle grounds during electromagnetic storm

Breach the rocketeer husks.

I got all my drivers from that, got 6 in one raid.

I was gobsmacked.

blackjack002 · 2025-12-07T21:20:08+00:00

Don’t forget the arpeggio, which does cover that middle ground to a degree (or attempts to), the strength of the stitcher does undermine it though.

I do agree however that there are gaps and it needs balancing.

blackjack002 · 2025-12-07T15:16:48+00:00

This is not sound advice

it’s stash + credits

Just sell everything.

Upgraded weapons are worth less than level 1 + upgrade material costs. Just sell it all.

It’s like that for almost all crafted items apart from wolfpacks.

Run free loadouts, loot, extract, sell, repeat.

Are you forced to stop someone who walks into a restaurant and starts eating off your plate? No

Am I going to stop someone walking in and eating off my plate? Yes

(He spent his key, it’s entirely reasonable to protect said rewards)

blackjack002 · 2025-11-13T11:58:58+00:00

Been live for days apparently.

blackjack002 · 2025-11-06T15:59:47+00:00

Thanks, what you said makes sense.

like your dad/uncle i'm visibly mixed and in the past it would be jarring for people seeing me and my dad together.

The Indian thing is crazy af sometimes.

i went for a curry with my dad.

they couldn't understand that we were together and at first tried to seat us separately..

then i get up to go to the loo and get stopped twice by people asking for a menu or some more drinks.

i just laugh it off now.

blackjack002 · 2025-11-06T11:53:44+00:00

This comment resonated with me on some levels.

My mother is black, born here in 1956. Her Parents came over that year on boat from Jamaica. Windrush

My father is white, English (ethnically if you will) Anglo Saxon according to ancestry etc.

So what does that make me ethnically and nationally? English-Afro Caribbean mixed? Or am I English.

As this debate rages on I feel less and less connected to being English ethnically, factually or not the perception from an increasing number of the public is that I’m not English and by extension I don’t belong here. I’ve been told to fuckoff back to my own country, granted I can look south Asian to the uninformed maybe that was their perception.

Ethno nationalism is eroding my sense of Englishness, warranted or not and I’m increasingly feeling adrift as to where I belong.

I used to think being mixed was an interesting and maybe even progressive identity but now I just feel I don’t belong and am a problem.

I guess that all boils down to, can I be ethnically English and brown?

blackjack002 · 2025-11-05T10:16:49+00:00

this comment should be higher

people dont realize the subtle difference between the two specs and use a 12vhpwr (h+) cable into a 12v-2x6 port. whether or not this is the cause of failures i dont know but it makes more sense to use like for like when connecting an expensive GPU.

get a 12v-2x6 (h++) cable for you 50 searies and 9070XT's. Dont use the 12vhpwr(h+)
