Sold my 5090 and got a 9070 XT
Got a 5090 last year at msrp. Played with it. It’s great. Had grand visions of doing AI stuff at home. Became disinterested. Realized most the games I play I don’t need it, nor really does anyone.
Sold the 5090 for $3,800 today. Nice. Bought the XFX Mercury 9070xt for $750. Almost bought a 3080 (5080) but with tax and shipping, it was going to end up being close to $2k.
Still have a 4k monitor, but will be fine for what I’m doing. I’m basically relegated to playing BF6 and Helldivers with my homies who I’ve been playing CoD and battlefield with since early 2000s.
Only thing I don’t have is a connector for the new card to my PSU. I can’t find my bag of extra psu cables for the life of me. My PSU used a dedicated 12v power cord (or whatever it’s called) for the 5090.
Can I just use any one off Amazon or should I get a thermal take cord for my thermal take psu?
Edit. It was $835 or something but had a gift card.
