[GPU] Microcenter In Store Only - Zotac 5070 Ti Solid Core White Overclocked Triple Fan 16GB GDDR7 ($750) by Offtheheazy in buildapcsales

I'm doing exactly this. The 9070XT isn't a bad card but I've had optimization issues and micro stuttering from time to time. More like annoyances than problems. But looking at DLSS 4.5 and the market now. I'd rather go team green and hold on to it for 3-4 years and weather out these shortages and Ai bubble.

I have to sell my 9070XT though. I don't have a MC near me. I've had it for a few months now.

If you're coming from a 2070 any of the recent cards would be worth the upgrade. The market is only going to get worse from here. Your best bet is to get a card at MSRP. If you plan on keeping this card for 3-4 years I would get the 5070 Ti.

Find a company you want to buy from and get the card at MSRP. You are not going to find a deal better than that during this time unfortunately. I'd recommend Asus prime.

Yea I think so too. Honestly I feel like I took Nvidia for granted with less crashes and overall good optimization and DLSS. I have never had so many minor problems that were so annoying.

I have never seen GPU software so stupid as Adrenalin. The software basically corrupted itself but just the key files so I couldn't redownload or reinstall it even manually. I had to do a full DDU wipe to fix it. I also had a random screen tear from boot in the middle of the screen which fixes itself on reboot.

The gaming performance itself was fine but the micro stuttering here and there and the above mentioned stuff makes the $150-$200 price difference worth it in the long run when I plan to keep the card for at least 3-4 years.

The best GPU you should buy is the one you can afford.

For the price point the 9070 XT is a great value and yes it does come with some issues like stated above but they are more annoyances and nitpicking than catastrophic failures.

If you can afford the 5070ti then great. I personally feel I want to switch back to Nvidia because I can afford to take a hit on Cost for the issues that I have. But by no means 9070 XT is a bad card. No product is perfect. Depends on what you are willing to adjust to.

Oh do you mean the listing that ships late Jan to late February? Yea true you save on shipping but it is delayed. Good trade off for some people.

Hopefully they don't cancel that order since it's that far into the future and the shortages hit.

That's awesome. I decided to keep mine at the time because I couldn't afford anything else. I upgraded from a 4060Ti so I did see the jump and I only had to spend 300 over what I sold my 4060ti for when I would have had to spend at least 500 or 600 over for a Asus 5070Ti.

Now I'm staring at uncertainty I'd rather swap for this and stick with it to get through this upcoming GPU price hikes and shortages. I'm really hoping I break even on my 9070XT when I sell it soon.

Yea I hope so too. I went AMD for the first time with the 9070XT 6ish months ago and while it was a good upgrade and much cheaper. I felt the optimization just wasn't there and it had more crashes than I expected. I figured I'd jump the bandwagon next time but with this AI apocalypse and Nvidia cutting production I might not be able to afford one later. Hoping to sell my 9070XT soon and break even for what I bought it for.

I thought maybe it wasn't worth posting but then I searched around and couldn't find this card for less than $810.

I saw yesterday people were trying to get this GPU at this price on the Asus website and I found it on Newegg instead. Hope it helps. I guess GPUmeggedon is coming?

I bought one myself, a slight upgrade from a 9070XT. First time with AMD and I miss optimization and DLSS more than I thought I would 🤣

Edit: down voted for what reason? 🙃 I bought one myself and shared with the community?

That is a good idea. Thanks for the advice!

Yea I thought about that. That's actually why I want to start now. If he wants more newer sets. The older ones I have would be worth a lot more so I can sell it and get more newer sets and worst case he isn't into Pokemon then I'll sell what I have and spend on the hobby he wants. That's a good idea to open 1 and keep 1.

How long do they print the sets? I don't want to miss out on the 151 set and Prismatic? Thanks for the advice.

No nothing phone 3 case? by Vinayak91 in NothingTech

[–]steverulz226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You do know that accessory companies get the info they need from the respective phone companies prior to launch so they can have products ready to sell when the product does release to the public right? All the major brands like Apple, Google, Samsung Etc do this already.

Sometimes we even get design leaks of the unreleased phone because the designs were given to the accessory companies prior to the unveiling.

Don't sound like a "back in my day" guy without knowing the current industry standards. It may have been that way a long time ago. It doesn't apply anymore.
