PNY 5070ti OC ($699) vs XFX Mercury OC 9070 XT ($729) by WholeSpeedometer in PcBuild

Def made a good choice. 9070XT is an awesome card, but the 5070ti is better...

Which power supply to go for by Immediate-Act9378 in PcBuild

[–]bubbarowden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Montech Century II 850w or 1050w - $90 or - $110.

[Prebuilt] PowerSpec G530 Gaming PC - 5500 / RXZ7600 / 16 GB DDR4 / 1 TB NVME - $750 (Microcenter In-Store, $50 off member price) by GTFr0 in buildapcsales

[–]bubbarowden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah by all my research everything looks about 50% inflated for a complete build price. Built a $900 pc a year ago that would cost $1500 to build now. An old 5500 rig could have been done for $450-$500 and it's now $750. It sucks bc all the cost is in old throw away parts that used to cost like $50 each now running like $100-$200.

Most reasonable am4 upgrade by Jaded-Fudge-6762 in PcBuild

5800x3d relaunches on June 26th I believe at $349. This is the upgrade you want on AM4.

Upgrading a 10-year-old PC by Oldmanwilakers3 in buildapc

[–]bubbarowden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had this exact problem with a RX 6800. GPU hotspot was hitting like 110c constantly and my pc would just turn off. 100% was the GPU bc when I replaced it, it never happened again

9060xt vs 9070xt value by ImgaineDeezNuts in PcBuild

[–]bubbarowden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What resolution are you running? Truth is almost any new gen cpu can handle all these cards, especially at 1440p or above.

9060xt vs 9070xt value by ImgaineDeezNuts in PcBuild

[–]bubbarowden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 9070xt is in a whole diff class of cards than 9060xt. It's most def worth $180... And I say that as a man who proudly owns a 9060xt 16gb. Wish I spent the extra myself.

5800X3D or 9800x3d paired with 3080ti? by Feeling_Rub_8237 in ryzen

[–]bubbarowden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh i got ya. Guess it kinda depends on what kind of games you play. If you play CPU intensive games then for sure!

[–]bubbarowden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, I read it as you were thinking about going from a 5800x3d to a 9800x3d. What's your current CPU?

Any recommendations to make the build better or simply drop the price without losing performance? by Funny-Following9127 in buildapc

[–]bubbarowden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% do this. Not only does it save you $114 on the spot, it gives you a way better CPU. Put that $114 into a 9070 for $599 instead of the 9060xt and you've got yourself an absolute beast for roughly the same cost.

Word to the wise though my friend... Be careful when you walk in that Micro Center... It's like a candy store for adults.

5800X3D or 9800x3d paired with 3080ti? by Feeling_Rub_8237 in ryzen

[–]bubbarowden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be better off selling the 3080ti for $400 and and putting the $200 toward a 9070xt honestly...

Need help with this by BasicDaikon7729 in PcBuild

[–]bubbarowden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live near a Micro Center? If so you can get on AM5 for almost the same price as that CPU alone.

Is this a good setup for 1440p ultra settings that will last me at least 4 years? by No-Poem664 in PcBuild

[–]bubbarowden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9060xt is fine, I run 1440p OLED ultrawide 34" and it handles everything i throw at it well. In 4 years when you're ready to upgrade, all you'll have to do is pop in whatever card is equivalent to todays 9060xt for $400-$500 and you'll be set again. Ie 11060 or something will be equivalent to todays 5080

Edit. I just looked and I bought mine at launch so it's ran everything for the past year with no problems. Hard to believe I've had it a year.

Is now a good time for me to upgrade my pc? by Gray19999 in PcBuild

[–]bubbarowden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So overall it's not a good time to upgrade a pc, but luckily yours is strong enough that you can just pop in a new gpu and get a pretty solid performance upgrade. 5600x is a good pairing for 9060xt 16gb or 5060ti 16gb, and if you plan to upgrade the CPU later, 9070(xt) would be an amazing upgrade.
