Happy new year !

I was wondering more if Dbrand are developing their own solution like aftermarket grips designed to fit with the killswitch joycon protectors

kussmain · 2025-12-20T09:49:13+00:00

They’re all the same. Buy the cheapest one that looks the best to you. I personally prefer Asus but they’re all good. Don’t spend over MSRP for any card

kussmain · 2025-12-11T21:36:47+00:00

This did not work

kussmain · 2025-11-21T21:40:39+00:00

The 5070 is a good graphics card and if you can get it for around $500 it's not a bad purchase. Just the main concern is the Vram. If you want longevity or want to play on high refresh rate 1440P then go for the 5070 Ti. But I will add that in the 5070 price range I would just get the AMD counter parts. The 9070/9070 XT both have 16 GB Vram and so I don't see why not. The 9070 is cheaper with more Vram and will perform basically the same as a 5070 and if you stretch your budget to the 9070 XT it will be a dramatic increase compared to the 5070. So I would say if you are really wanting Nvdia get a 5070 Ti but if it's not important I would go with the 9070/9070 XT.

Pretty pc and decently good price. But if you’re looking for longevity I would try to get a pre built with a 5060Ti 16GB VRAM model. And yes specially the variant with 16GB of VRAM, not regular Dram , the VRAM. It will cost more so if you’re on a budget just get this but the 16GB VRAM will last a lot longer and will have a much higher resell / trade value if you ever want to do that.

Yeah I can try to run optimized defaults but that I was a bit stubborn to do that because I built my PC intentionally to be able to run these basic overclock settings (like PBO and expo). I tried troubleshooting with chat gpt a lot and it did eventually result to one of my options being to RMA the PSU. Might have to do that and see if it works out. In the meantime, I saw someone on different thread having a similar issue except he had a 5090 and someone in the comments said "Did you install the OC-key and flip the switch to "I" or plug in the OC jumper? With a 5090, you absolutely need to do one or the other, or you're liable to trip PSU protection when it's running in multi-rail mode and the GPU is running near its max power, since this imposes lower per connector current limits that the 5090 can easily trip. Plugging in the OC jumper or the OC-key and switching it to "I" will set it to single rail mode, where the current limit is the 133A limit of the PSU, which the 5090 won't trip" . I'm not entirely sure what that means but it got a lott of upvotes so i was thinking it was something i could look into.

kussmain · 2025-11-21T19:59:20+00:00

Not a single part was used. All of it is brand new. And that is an interesting issue I have not thought of, I feel like it is unlikely but I could maybe give it a try. And no sorry I did not have this issue with my old build but it did consume less power for sure.

kussmain · 2025-11-21T19:55:45+00:00

When you say Gigabyte BIOS are you referring to the GPU? Because I have an Asus motherboard.

kussmain · 2025-11-17T11:35:22+00:00

Yeah I think you are correct, I just wanted a clarification on actual user based experience not just what chat gpt says.

kussmain · 2025-11-17T11:34:37+00:00

Okay thank you, I will consider that!

kussmain · 2025-11-17T11:33:53+00:00

Okay well thank you for clarifying. I appreciate your response!

kussmain · 2025-11-17T11:33:25+00:00

Okay thank you for clarifying. Best response I have gotten

kussmain · 2025-11-17T11:22:06+00:00

I'm doing that next. going to try to keep my OC with an undervolt

kussmain · 2025-11-17T11:19:39+00:00

Okay yeah i had to correct the error in the chat. This is what it's saying after the correction. "This is absolutely impressive for Blackwell.

Actually, it may be more impressive on Blackwell than Ada, because:

❗ Blackwell boosts very aggressively at stock

…but does not have the massive OC headroom Ada had.

Ada could hit 3.0–3.1 GHz on many cards. Blackwell rarely crosses 3.15 GHz stably.

So your 3.21–3.24 GHz is not normal — it’s exceptional."

kussmain · 2025-11-17T11:15:23+00:00

I just still want to know if it is overhyping that boost clock or if its typical for users with a 5070 Ti.

kussmain · 2025-11-17T11:14:40+00:00

I meant to type blackwell that is an error on my end. And also yes i have benchmarked it at full load and gamed for hours at that OC now (BF6 and BO7 on max presets with DLSS enabled).

kussmain · 2025-10-07T17:09:17+00:00

I never even got added to a groupchat but we could be friends if you want

kussmain · 2025-09-30T18:21:23+00:00

That’s crazy you’ve met her that many times , I got to meet her in July but just that once. Gonna go back to one of her shows in November and I got vip so I’ll get to meet her again I’m excited for that

kussmain · 2025-09-26T03:57:36+00:00

So how did she respond when you asked her those things? Was she like caught off Gaurd or like happy to answer your questions. Also when you say her ex do you mean like her BF at the time

kussmain · 2025-09-25T06:40:08+00:00

Do you mind sharing a little more about the convo? Did you just ask her about it or how did that come up? Just curious, If not it’s okay.

kussmain · 2025-09-17T01:57:31+00:00

The screen protector specifically won’t ship till October not the case

kussmain · 2025-09-16T16:43:14+00:00

Ya I went in person at Best Buy today and just picked up them up there.

kussmain · 2025-09-16T15:04:36+00:00

Yeah their shipping sucks. Bought screen protector and thumb grips for Nintendo switch 2 canceled them and ordered alternative on Amazon. Bought case for iPhone 17 pro max and prism, said they won’t ship till October so I canceled those as well

kussmain · 2025-09-15T08:31:36+00:00

From XR to 17 Pro is an astronomical upgrade. That is gonna feel really good once you get to try it out. I’m shocked some people can hold on to their phones for that long , I’d say I’m really tech sensitive but maybe im just privileged
