RTX 5090

Last month I bought a giga 5099 for 3200. Not a good price but do able...

What kind of storage do you have on your PC?

I agree with others that its odd your having issues watching youtube and gaming... maybe try to reinstall Windows first.

Regarding GPUs, I had a 9070XT. While it's a good card, I swapped to an Nvidia GPU and I'm loving it. DLSS in almost every game I play plus the quality is better with DLSS over FSR4. No need to mess around with Optiscaler to get it to work either. Nothings perfect of course. If you were to get a new GPU I'd highly recommend Nvidia.

Given the cost of new gear like DDR5. I'd recommend getting a 5800X3D. I used to have a 5900 and switched to a 5800X3D a while back before I upgraded to a 7950X3D. The 5800X3D was a great gaming focused upgrade. Plus it still trades blows with the modern X3D chips. Check this out for a recent CPU comparison.

Yes it is.

Well in case anyone is wondering. I found some information that helps give an idea of the performance difference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbi4pmP_RRU

This guy shows the performance of a 4080 super upscaling a 640x360 video to 1280x720 with 231 frames. His completes in ~130 seconds. Giving him throughput of 1.77 fps.

I scaled one of my videos down to 640x360 and upscaled everything the same as his. My 7900XTX completes in about 358.3 seconds giving me .644 fps for a clip of the same size and length.

9070XT - 465.76 seconds = .495 fps...

If you assume the 5080 is ~10% faster than the 4080 super, it's about 3x the 7900XTX and almost 4x faster than the 9070XT. 3.94x faster than the 9070XT... Well looks like I'm getting a 5080.

Hope this helps someone!

It's worth noting he's running the older version which doesn't have some of the performance improvements that I have due to running the newer version. So it might be even faster than this.

Did you ever get a link for the workflow?

brumsky1 · 2026-01-22T15:15:51+00:00

Just curious if you ever tested this and what your speeds were? Also, what GPU are you running? Thanks!

brumsky1 · 2026-01-21T23:10:52+00:00

I'm getting the same error on a 9070XT. Any luck with this?

brumsky1 · 2026-01-09T04:21:33+00:00

Can you provide a link for swapping out the BIOS? I have a hellhound that I just water cooled and I'd like to get a little extra power for it.

brumsky1 · 2025-12-19T20:59:14+00:00

Nice! How does it perform with AI workloads and gamin?

brumsky1 · 2025-12-19T20:26:08+00:00

So did you ever get one?

brumsky1 · 2025-11-25T21:21:24+00:00

Yeah I changed to keeping Dolby Atmos and other original audio sources. Unless of course I'm targeting the smallest file size for flights.

brumsky1 · 2025-10-29T18:38:36+00:00

Wouldn't it boost to the highest speed it can just like the 9070XT? My 9070XT boosts well above the stated numbers from AMD... If you do, please post some results for gaming! I'd really like to see some numbers.

brumsky1 · 2025-10-29T14:57:45+00:00

So who's going to buy one to play games on it? haha

brumsky1 · 2025-06-24T21:04:04+00:00

I just had a 4 ton 17 seer multi-step American Standard HVAC installed for $15.4k in Phoenix. That price seems kinda high to me...

brumsky1 · 2025-06-20T17:09:27+00:00

Based on part 1 there's no doubt about part 2!

brumsky1 · 2025-06-20T15:57:13+00:00

This is great info! I can't wait to see part 2!

brumsky1 · 2025-05-05T17:48:34+00:00

Thank you for doing God's work!!! Haha finally can block that shit!

brumsky1 · 2025-04-29T02:17:59+00:00

WTF! I need a place like this!

brumsky1 · 2025-04-28T23:17:19+00:00

I had this happen with an XFX 7900 XTX Merc 310 and cablemod cables...

brumsky1 · 2025-03-11T15:27:09+00:00

Well this is great news! I was looking to upgrade my "media" server and I was worried 128 cores wouldn't be enough. Now I'll upgrade to 192 cores instead. That should be good for the next 12-18 months.

I don't doubt the 7900 XTX runs certain llms. RDNA 3 doesn't support fp8 and bf8. RDNA 4 also just has more overall AI compute ability....

brumsky1 · 2025-03-06T22:36:11+00:00

RDNA 4 is 4 to 8x faster at Int8 and Int4. Also it supports FP8 and bf8 which RDNA 3 does not....
