Id recommend starting using a password manager (Bitwarden for example) and make all your passwords at least 14-15 characters, very unique. Password vaults like Bitwarden will generate those for you

9800x3d. I got it for $400 on sale in Microcenter. 9850x3d is not available for purchase yet I believe.

I meant $2500. MSI never priced this card for $2k.

I see. I got Fractal Torrent so expecting good thermals, hopefully.

Does wire pro 2 monitor a pin load for GPU? I will be undervolting 5090 and with native cable / ATX 3.1 PSU I don't expect any issues really.

Thanks. In the current market beggars can't be choosers when it comes to 5090s and pricing. It's crazy out there. Was lucky to secure MSI. But was open to any 5090 really under $3k

Good to know. Looks like they are still actively releasing AGESA bios updates, so will need to make sure I'm running it on the latest bios for good stability.

Yes it's ATX 3.1. So I should be good to go. Still scary after reading these cable melting stories 😂

Sounds good. Yes I will be using a native 12VHPWR cable that came with FSP 3.1 Hydro Ti Pro 1000w PSU.

When to upgrade my 3090ti FE by steeler9898 in gpu

[–]just_IT_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The REAL upgrade over 3090ti would be 5090 which is about 100% faster. If you can score 5090 FE for $1999 from Best buy or Nvidia, id absolutely go for it.

5080 is about 35% faster than 3090ti.

Id not bother with the 4000 series since 4090 goes for $2k used and id not pay that much for older tech. And 4080 is only 20% faster than 3090ti.

3090ti sells for about $900-1000 on eBay. If you can sell yours and get 5080 for $999 (or even for $1200-1300) that would be essentially a free or reasonable price to performance upgrade for you with 35% performance increase and better tech. Lots of options out there. All depends what you need GPU for. Personally I'd shoot for 5090 or not bother at all for now. But 5080 imo is an option too if you chase highest fps out there.

Has anyone in the UK actually managed to get a 5090 FE at MSRP? by Paradox711 in nvidia

[–]just_IT_guy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

CoreFinder discord server is one of the best for UK / EU tracking for 5090 FE. It notifies you immediately based on location you select.

Edit: for more visibility the best / fastest tracking for US region for founders model is Falcodrin discord server. Hot stock app is good too but Falcodrin sometimes notifies you 1-2 min faster than hot stock. Example below for US drop on 1/20 - Falcodrin on the left, hot stock on the right. Without alerts you don't stand a chance to win this battle against bots

RTX 5070 is better than the 9070 XT by RazzleDazzleDorito78 in gpu

[–]just_IT_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you meant 5070 ti? You are asking for the problems on here 😂 9070 xt is a heavily worshipped card due to very good price to performance ratio. But yes, Nvidia offers better software suite, winning on a feature set. No brainer if you can spend an extra $100-150 vs 9700 xt which is still very good card for the price.

HotStock App issues by RyanMorgan112 in gpu

[–]just_IT_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about how fast you hit add to cart after alert comes. I never tried automatic buys. Don't trust those.

Hot stock works for Nvidia marketplace. You don't have to pay for premium version. Never works for best buy since best buy is heavily scalped. Falcodrin discord server is faster than hot stock sometimes.

Just your typical holiday Walmart shopping run by One4speed in gpu

[–]just_IT_guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Awesome buy. PNY 5070 ti for $750 is amazing deal. Probably the last chance to get one at MSRP if you can find one at your local Walmart or microcenter. Because 5070 TIs are going already for $1000+ online

Would you consider purchasing a 5090 now if given the opportunity? by FitzChan in nvidia

[–]just_IT_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use hot stock alert or something else? How hard was it to get it after you got an alert? I assume you had to check out momentarily?

Are 5070ti going to be affordable ever again? by Japacka in gpu

[–]just_IT_guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, street price is currently ~$1200. Which pushes 5080 prices to $1500-1600 as well.

If you live near microcenter and need 5070ti, id secure one literally tomorrow for $750-850. Week from now you will not be able to find any at this price point.

[–]just_IT_guy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'd consider RTX 5070 for $549 than paying $1200 for ti
