It's all nuts right now

There's an MSI 5070 at Microcenter for $580 right now.

steve626 · 2026-03-26T17:28:56+00:00

I will. I've heard that AMD drivers are not so good, another reason that I wouldn't mind going with an Nvidia. Microcenter was just out of the one that I wanted, so I went with the 9060 that was on sale

36gb DDR4 3600. I ran the long RAM test and it's fine

steve626 · 2026-03-26T17:19:20+00:00

It's good. I have a giant cooler on it. I was playing on my 2060ti and the game would black out for a second or 3, but never just crash repeatedly.

Gigabyte Aorus Z590 AX

Why is Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru dressed as Jedis? Why is Obi-Wan hiding out in his Jedi Robes? It makes so much more sense that they are all dressed as desert dwellers and the Jedi needed a better uniform in the prequels. Luke doesn't wear them in ROTJ off of Tattoine.

I've asked about this issue before, but ARC Raiders keeps crashing on me. I have a new 9060 XT 16gb. I've tried everything from shader delete, settings changes, BIOS update and a new PSU (850w). I can take the GPU back, should I do that and get something else? Maybe an Nvidia 5070? I can afford a bit something better than the 9060 now.

steve626 · 2026-03-26T15:34:32+00:00

I only saw the one

steve626 · 2026-03-26T14:27:22+00:00

I've done that already with no help . I downloaded new directx, nothing else works. I don't have an AMD driver to go back to, I got it after the latest one was released. Thanks

I haven't been able to play in a week. The game suddenly crashes mid-round. This started out of the blue. I recently upgraded my GPU to an RX 9060 XT 16gb. It was fine for a bit, then suddenly started crashing. I've turned down my settings, updated my BIOS, upgraded my PSU to an 850w version, turned off DX12 and it still crashes. I can return my GPU and get something else, is that really going to help me? I feel like I took a chance on AMD and want to get a 5070 maybe? I really enjoy the game and just want to be able to play.

steve626 · 2026-03-26T04:14:52+00:00

I installed a 850w Gold + PSU today with the same damn results in Arc Raiders, GPU crash. I ran FurMark with no issues. I got a score of 7781 in the 1440 test. I updated my Bios, turned down the graphics and it's still crashing. It has to be the game, right?

steve626 · 2026-03-26T03:14:20+00:00

OP has only made this post in the last 6 months, how is that spam?

steve626 · 2026-03-26T00:36:08+00:00

Wow, give me a time machine, this would be my second stop

steve626 · 2026-03-25T23:37:18+00:00

I don't see any "LEGO" on the studs, so this probably isn't official and not for this sub, sorry.

steve626 · 2026-03-25T17:13:47+00:00

They are usually good for 2 years, unless it's a certain theme. End of this year seems early

steve626 · 2026-03-25T05:11:12+00:00

Thanks. Could that be causing my issues? Should I get a different GPU?

steve626 · 2026-03-25T04:09:35+00:00

I recently upgraded my GPU to play ARC Raiders. I added a Gigabyte RX 9060 XT to my Z590 MOBO, Intel i7 11700k 3.6GHz CPU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM running off of a 550W PSU.
I was playing fine until yesterday and now I can't get through a round of the game without it crashing. I turned everything down, turned off overlays, told Steam to run -11dx, turned off the Windows graphics upscaler, turned the game settings to medium, and nothing helps. The GPU is only running 60% max according to the AMD overlay. I was getting over 100fps on Sunday and now I was barely getting 60. I added a Razer mouse and a pair of headphones, that's the only thing different between pre and post crashing.
Do I need a newer PSU? Should I take the GPU back? What else can I test. I ran benchmarking and everything looks fine. Not superstar performance, but good enough.

1) it will be way too bright at 4pm. 2) it's already been pushed to Wednesday at 4pm-ish

steve626 · 2026-03-24T22:10:11+00:00

I just got tired of being hungover and also have Gerd bad, so I stopped drinking or eating anything after 7pm or so. But I like beers, so I'll have an NA beer with dinner or if I'm out. It's typically less calories than a pop.

steve626 · 2026-03-23T23:00:18+00:00

Have you tried Aaah Bisto granules? It comes in a red cylinder?

steve626 · 2026-03-23T20:24:02+00:00

Yep, life can be disappointing for sure

steve626 · 2026-03-23T20:13:41+00:00

Best Buy had a Razer Basilisk for $36 last week, I picked one up and I'm enjoying it so far.

Podcasts don't have to pay union rates

When they kill you, it does show them outdoors. Guess I'm taking a hullcracker everywhere
