I'm not familiar with having to roll back my drivers to play a game. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III wasn't loading, and after doing everything from reinstalling Windows, DDU, and verifying and repairing game files on both Xbox and Steam, I figured it had to be Adrenaline, as a bug crash report box popped up for the first time.

I rolled it back to March 2026, and now all my games play. Is this normal? If so, I'll just stay one version behind when it comes to updating.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but hear me out first.

I've had a 5090 for almost a year now, and I'm going to sell it to switch to 9070 XTs. Selling it is not about the money, but more about buying something that I really never needed in the first place. It's always nice to buy a flagship GPU where you can just slam it and play at a high frame rate, but it also rarely gets used.

With the 5090, I spent more time playing 3DMark than actually playing games, trying to see how many frames I could get, even though my screens max out at 4K120. Plus, I'm always nervous to run it for multiple hours due to its power plug, and I would mitigate that anxiety by switching back to a 3x8 Pin connector.

I currently have 3 GPU-less PCs, but I'm going to purchase 9070 XTs for them all and get back to enjoying my time playing while still having an excellent experience at a fraction of the cost. I have high hopes that AMD will release a card that has 5090-ish performance in the future, but won't cost $3-4k to obtain. It's now more about the name if anything, and for me to have fun, I don't need to have MFG x4 on with DLSS to pump out 220fps at 4K. For the price of a 9070 XT, you can upgrade every generation and still save money versus buying one 5090 just because it's a halo item.

Maybe I'm saying this because I'm getting older and have more clarity, but a 9070 XT from what I'm seeing offers a kickass experience for the majority of gamers, and if I could go back I wouldn't have spent the $3K to purchase it and put that money into the market or etc. Cheers 🥂

Just switched over from Verizon, and this is a really neat service. I absolutely love how simple and clean the app is, and the entire process was super simple, from signing up to porting my number. The speeds are excellent, and I'm saving so much money monthly compared to VZW.

I got fed up with random surprises on my bill and having to conquer their tower of defense in order to get something rectified. Got a S26 Ultra for $900 off and with no trade in and I'm a happy camper. Cheers.

Switching out from the iPhone ecosystem and kind of concerned how Tesla functionality works with a Samsung S26 Ultra and Galaxy Watch. Can you still lock/unlock it with your watch and have keyless entry features such as an Apple Watch?

It’s been a fun ride since the 7900 XTX, but I’ve had enough and I’m going back home to team green. I haven’t really had issues until now, but an eye-opener for me is the trend of features and also how well Nvidia cards play with my TVs and home theater system.

1. My Sapphire 9070 XT is acting crazy and glitching out every 45 mins or so, and I’ve had it. I’ve DDU’d my drivers, and it’s still doing it, and I don’t want to go through the RMA process, so by association, the PowerColor Red Devil 9070 XT has to go too, even though it’s not giving me any problems.

2. I’m also somewhat tired of the Adrenaline app. It’s been lagging recently, and I’m not a big fan of AMD not supporting my people with older cards. I think that should have just been a given, seeing you have loyal gamers that have been around since god knows when.

I’ll probably be back when they release UDNA, but for right now, Nvidia cards have better compatibility with my AVR/TV/games in general. It’s not resetting my refresh rate to 29.99hz all the time or having problems doing full RGB/HDR at 120hz, etc. Plus, after hooking up my 5090, it’s nice to slam the features they place in games without having to deal with such a large performance hit, and the only way to rectify that is to use OptiCaler, which I refuse to use because it should just be built into the Adrenaline app.

So I’m heading to Microcenter now to pick up a 5080 and a 5070 Ti. It’s been fun ✊🏻✌🏻

Picking up my new S26 Ultra later today and i'm going through what seems like a dilemma trying to decide between the two watches. I love the manly classic look the GW8C has, but at the same time the larger screen and battery on the Ultra seems like something that could come in handy.

Which one did you go with?
