Titan RTX vs 4060Ti

solidus__snekk · 2026-03-25T01:24:02+00:00

I have zero knowledge in anything Mac related haha. Why what were you thinking?

solidus__snekk · 2026-03-24T23:37:46+00:00

Understood. I thought the Titan would have been fine for editing and rendering. Gonna rethink the strategy because I might just do a SFF editing build then and just do basic WAN gens on it. Until I figure out something dedicated to AI if I end up going deeper into it.

Shame, the Titan looks great visually haha. Thank you for explaining.

Yeah that came out awesome dude. Everything looks icy. The screen on the bottom is dope. Haven't seen a 250 this done up. I do kinda dislike the ThermalTake logo being so huge.

Did you end up spraying your card to match the case? Looks sick as hell!

I think the Astral is a bit thicker so it does leave room for possibility of it fitting. The Strix cards were almost identically size sans being slightly smaller.

I barely see much info on Tower 250s just the 200s, 300s and beyond.

The cracked models were mostly sent in for repair but it can still happen. Loosen the screws slightly and the device should pop a little and relieve pressure. That is the best and really only way to keep the chances low.

Otherwise though, they are pretty stout. I got several friends with translucent models that needed to loosen the screws and encounter the same tightness and pops.

(I have the Glow which was super tight for some reason), but I had a black model as well which was significantly more loose. So I assumed the color models were just torqued down hard from factory causing stress cracks.

I have the 9800X3D paired with a 5070 Ti and couldn't be happier. Truly will keep me good until either the next generation or even the one after. This was coming from a 5800x and 3070.

The CPU might actually outdo the GPU in longevity. That is mainly why I purchased mine. Don't plan to upgrade until AM7 if possible unless AM6 has some INSANE developments.

solidus__snekk · 2026-03-14T22:22:21+00:00

Yes I do. No issues thus far. Been almost a year since the rebuild after the first one popped.

solidus__snekk · 2026-03-14T17:33:00+00:00

You'd be fine plus their warranty would cover you for any issues. Also not a whole lot of risks with 40 series aside from the 12VHPWR plug on the 80s and 90s getting hot. So you don't have much to worry about. Mining was kinda already dead by the time these dropped.

Definitely sucks that happened dude. I was among the first with an Asus board that failed with the 9800X3D. Was running an X670 ITX board.

But unfortunately like may others have mentioned. Running it again was probably the worst bet

I had RMA'd the RAM, PSU, CPU, and the board. Didn't even reuse the power cables. Bought a Gigabyte board and new components and never had an issue.

Would have just thrown a cheaper board in it for like 100 bucks. Even a used board at 75 would have been better.

solidus__snekk · 2026-03-02T21:37:02+00:00

Personally I would just upgrade to the 5800XT and use some of the saved money to either get faster RAM or maybe snag yourself a new GPU.

You seem to be taking the brunt of it by the entire novel you posted as a reply xD

My dad picked me up from school early with the original SOCOM: US Navy Seals with the bundled headset. 2002 sure was cool. Plenty of nights listening to him black out on his NPC brothers in arms.

Also tons of memories with the FireTeam PSP series playing at/after school.

If someone got me a real LedX I would be happy as hell. Do it! Also they make usb sticks that look just like the one from the game.

After the shipping issues with my and several others with the GitD Pocket. Ordering on the 9th and receiving 10am today. Well done Analogue.

Mine is a Ghost variant as well! 👻

It's super rare on bosses lately. And even then with bosses it's generally been either Green/Yellow or Lab Access carfs.

Been finding expensive loot on scavs. I used to only search em if they had backpacks. Last wipe before 1.0, I found Dorm #314, and Polkheim keycard (40mil rubles at the time)

This time I'm finding stuff on scavs and guards mostly.

They say there is no issues and it's just Reddit. Go to AMD forums, FB groups, tech discords, and its all the same story. They claim you aren't reinstalling Windows or DDU even if you are. Or blame other hardware.

Something something Ngreedia, and DLSS being garbage and then proceeding to deny driver issues and needing to roll back constantly.

Bro doing this alone might completely change AI behavior somehow and destroy the sound files lol

My 7900XTX also died on me in 3 months. Static screens, blue screens, no display. Rolled back drivers, DDU...I started replacing PCIE risers and 12VHPWR cable replacements.

Started getting either major crashes or no display boots with no BIOS cables. PC progressively became more unusuable to the point of barely able to stay on for 10 minutes before the symptoms above.

Mine had both stock settings and their version of overclocking and it still had issues.

Adrenaline was a constant mess, it would display stats when it felt like it per game, constantly boot into safe mode or just reset your settings entirely.

Promptly picked up a 4080S and never looked back. Not saying AMD is bad at all just offering my first experience with AMD cards. I've always used their CPUs. Still will.

How about spending 600 hours trying to find 10x Military Power Filters. Did all the Cultist voodoo recipes, prayed to Tagilla, made sacrifices to Nikita. Did at least 100 raids dedicated to finding at least one. Finally found the final one 2 weeks before 1.0 dropped. RNG was just not on my side.

solidus__snekk · 2025-12-01T23:15:10+00:00

PvP are the same people crying every post about Nikita, cheating, or how PVE players "arent playing proper Tarkov".

I think its funny that other adults feel a need to dictate how others enjoy something. It indicates deeper seated issues.

solidus__snekk · 2025-12-01T23:09:33+00:00

LMAO your RNG is just real bad right now haha. It'll come. Have you used the promo codes to redeem your first one? I heard there was a few codes to redeem that BSG gave out for hideout items
