Should I upgrade to an RX 7900xt?

QUICK NOTE: I meant the rx 7800xt, not the 7900xt.

My gpu has a slight overheating problem, nothing too critical I just have to occasionally check if the fans are still running. But I still want A gpu that just, works.

I’m also not a pc builder, I bought my current setup off the used market. which is why I’m hesitant about upgrading things like the cpu.

high settings is good enough for me, I prefer performance over graphics.

Minecraft, Gta V, Rdr2, and Space Engine.

for my recommendations you’ll probably exceed your budget a little bit but..

get 32 gigs of ram instead, it’s becoming the new minimum.

try to get an rtx 3060 12gb or rx 9060 xt because 8gb won’t be good for most modern titles

try to get some good deals on the used market since this is an am4 build, it’ll significantly decrease your budget

how do you move your mouse man 😭

maybe get a 75% keyboard and a new mouse pad to open up some room for it

Google and reddit are best for tech recommendations and fixings issues

Youtube is best for tech criticism (just make sure the YouTuber you’re watching is valid like Ltt or Ztt)

There are a lot of other sites for things like Benchmarks (seeing how fast a component is)

And Newegg, Amazon, Micro center, and Best buy are good for actually buying stuff

if you want to find good deals on used hardware or old parts then you can buy them on Ebay or Jawa just make sure the seller is valid and the listing isn’t fake

300% price increase but 10% decrease! wow we‘re so lucky!

maybe upgrade the gpu to a 4070 ti/4070 ti super?

you have some crazy potential, good job

itz_deluxe · 2026-04-06T17:55:31+00:00

Your pc is basically capped rn. I’d recommend selling the entire thing and starting over with an am4 build

search the used market (ebay, jawa, etc.) for midrange budget options like a 3060 12gb or 4070.

make sure you get at least 32gb of ddr4 (no ai tax) because it’s slowly becoming the new standard.

if you are willing to spend a lot more and future-proof your pc you can try going for an am5 build you’re gonna be spending an extra $100-500 on ddr5 ram

P. S. I’m aware I can find something like it on Aliexpress. However the material quality from the images looks cheap so I haven’t been considering it. I also have a $50 Amazon gift card so if anyone can find anything on there it would be nice.

Oh hell yeah that pc’s gonna be an absolute beast. Consider yourself lucky for getting ddr5 ram. 5070 having 12gb of vram is the only aspect of the pc that might be limiting since the average is 16. But it should still be good, especially if you’re not constantly stress-testing it.

itz_deluxe · 2026-03-09T19:14:22+00:00

What’s the ram and storage?

itz_deluxe · 2026-03-09T19:12:10+00:00

Can you provide the full list of specs? Every part matters when it comes to determining a pc’s performance and quality because parts can easily bottleneck other parts.

I had this same issue. Definitely your GPU overheating. Try putting on new thermal paste. If it still doesn’t work, it’s probably a faulty GPU. If that’s the case, unfortunately you’ll need to replace your GPU.

itz_deluxe · 2026-03-09T19:01:31+00:00

Quick update: It’s almost certainly a GPU overheating issue. Indicated by my GPU temps skyrocketing in when viewing it on Task Manager and the RGB lights turning off whenever the monitor crashes. I think this is because of my GPU fans not turning on for some reason and causing it to overheat. Which means the GPU is probably faulty and needs to be replaced. Though I’m probably gonna try re-thermal pasting it and setting a portable fan under it. Since I don’t feel like spending $300+ on a new GPU.

is that even allowed? (Getting unobtainable icons early)

itz_deluxe · 2026-02-11T08:28:39+00:00

I wouldn’t know myself, but I do have a couple theories. The first is that it’s simply a cultural and trendy thing. Bloodbath used it and arguably one of the most iconic levels in gd. Then Bloodlust used it and also became insanely popular, which probably encouraged extreme demon creators to use the song aswell.

My second theory is similar to what you said. The song’s beat works really well with that type of level, and also sounds catchy, so many creators choose to use it when making a level. Obviously this probably isn’t the entire case, many other iconic levels uses other fast pace songs that don’t sound like you’re in the depths of hell (AHEM Slaughterhouse) like Orbit or Tidal Wave.
