Hello,
I need advice on choosing between 5080
I have 2 stores near me and one is selling as Asus prime 5080 gpu for 1252 us dollars and another is selling the ROG astral 5080 for 1551 us dollars.
Is it worth getting the astral? Tbh i don't really care about ascetics I just want a GPU that lasts and is good. but that extra 300 dollars is a lot. I could basicly buy 32GB of ddr5 ram 6000MHz with that.
would love some opinions
Im looking at these 2 cards, 5070 ti is too close to the 5080 to justfiy.. 1090-1100 euros.
9070xt is at a very low price of 660 euros (740 but comes with a AM4 motherboard you can just return on amazon bundle)
5080 is 1280 euros so a 93% increase?
I game at 4k, a wide range of things, from esports, to singleplayer games.
I never had AMD before, AND frankly marketing kind of hit me, there is some kind of mental blocker that makes me want to overpay for nvidia just of peace of mind because it's what I'm used to and I never had a single driver issue with AMD.
Which should I go for? Perf is 15-20% more i believe for 5080 and 30% in RT/PT?
I have a 49in ultrawide OLED monitor that has a resolution of 5120×1440.
I want to build my first PC but with my research, it looks like I need a 5070/9070 or better and building around it runs anywhere from $1800-$2000 which is way out my budget…
Micro center carries this PowerSpec G531 Gaming PC for $1400 which seems like a really good price for a prebuilt with a 5070.
The games I would play are COD, Madden, Forza, and GTA 6 whenever it comes out for PC. I only have a PS5 right now and play GT7 with it but want a PC just to have one. Also I’d want to play at least 120fps.
Ordered a new gpu, instead I got this! What a time to be alive! Will return it today. Be careful y'll.
Im looking to purchase a new GPU, either a 5070 ti or a 5080. The main difference would be pricing, I would prefer to not have the subtotal be over 1000$ for a 5070 ti, and the 5080 not be over 1200$.
Earlier this month the 5070 ti was at 1050-1110$ and 5080 around 1250$. This is where I was seriously debating purchasing the 5080.
My main question is to determine what is considered a good price point. I have a pc that works great, just want an upgrade. I currently have a 6950xt that has heat issues and randomly crash, about 3 years old.
What would be a good price point for both the 5070 TI and 5080? Do you think Black Friday will have a better price? What would be a good price difference to justify purchasing 5080 over 5070 ti?. Obviously if 5080 is under 1150 or at 1100$ I’m purchasing it, but is 1200$ considered too much or 1300$ too much?
Price isn’t an issue, but I’m trying to determine what would be best price per dollar. Both would work great for my gaming needs, but don’t want to spend extra if I do not need to.
Edit: also the 6950xt is insanely loud, even when adjusting the fan curve. I would like to replace and sell off the GPU versus repasting it.
Also just want nvidia, tried AMD GPU for a few years, prefer nvidia.
Will prices increase by Black Friday/ cyber Monday and be back to around 900$ for 5070 ti or 1100-1200 for a 5080? Or is that optimistic and will most likely be insanely higher price?
What gpu do you think 1440p performance gets to a certain point where it no longer makes a difference even at ultra settings? I feel like a 9070xt or 5070 ti is probably the highest i would go before going 4k, because a 4090, 5080, or 5090 just seems like wasted gpu power at some point.
The 5080 may be better, but even then if you get say 300 fps in a game, what‘s really the difference between that and 250 fps?
I was just wondering this as a first post here, let me know where gpu upgrades become negligible for 1440p! Hanging in here with my 1070 on 1440p lol.
Today I acquired my first RTX card. I'm switching from an RX 5700 XT and my only Nvidia card was a GT 740 before that.
I'm really happy. I don't have the new connector yet, but I hope to get one soon so I can plug it in.
Hey everyone, I'm learning microsoldering and need practice/experience before I could start charging for repairs. I figured instead of having to buy broken ones on Ebay and deal with scammers I'd offer people free repairs. I get to learn for free and the other person gets a free repair.
I included a picture of my bench as some kind of (hopefully) proof that I'm not trying to scam. All I would ask is that someone cover the shipping both ways and any components I'd need to replace (if any). I already own a 5070 ti, 6600 XT, and GTX 970(960?), so I have no need for the cards and I'd rather not deal with Ebay selling for the same reason I don't want to buy from their.
Ideally, I would just like to be able to charge people for repairs eventually so I can avoid dealing with the headaches of Ebay. I get this probably sounds sketchy but I figured the worse that will happen is no one will be interested. Thanks to anyone who read this far! :D Feel free to ask any questions!
Edit: I thought I used my reddit username in the post, but I totally used the wrong one if anyone is wondering

Hi guys, my Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (i5-13500HX, RTX 4050) has been overheating badly
CPU hits 100°C within a minute under load and throttles immediately, causing constant crashes (DEVICE_HUNG, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED) and even BSODs (nvlddmkm.sys driver crash, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL). Also does anyone ever experienced this?
Was previously brought to a shop for loud fan noise and the issue returned shortly after, so I'm looking to get it properly repasted this time possibly with liquid metal if anyone has experience with that on laptop GPUs, or just a high quality regular paste if that's the safer/recommended route.
Thanks in advance!
I don’t know how it happened but I scored a 7900XT for 236 after tax. It said it was not in stock, but it still let it be added to my cart and be checked out. I didn’t post anything or make a big fuss as I assumed it would be canceled, but they let me pick it up. On the listing it said it was new but when I opened it up and it appeared used, but after testing everything seems just fine. Does anyone else have an experience like this?
Hello, I'm looking to build a new PC in December this year, I am going to go with a 5080 graphics card, but I'm unsure of which model I should go for. I'm mainly considering a MSI gaming trio OC, an Aorus, or the Astral. Which card would you recommend?
Also, how likely is it that the prices will be increased by December? I'd be open to buying the graphics card now to avoid paying a higher cost in the future.
Thank you for any advice!
Reviewers used to shit on the 5070 but it was always a good card, because of the negative press it really hung out around the MSRP far longer than every other Nvida card.
For months I was screaming from the highest Mountain tops that if you were even thinking of upgrading on a budget you needed to buy the card now!
In all honesty it feels like a Massive door has now permanently sealed behind us. There's no 6000 series coming in 2027, what you think they're going to redeploy DDR7 and up the VRAM of the next line of GPU'S...Ha!
It's like that scene in Batman where the Joker throws the pool stick on the floor and they have to fight for it.
Whatever is left is left and if you need something it's only going to cost more next year when all of the Ram has been presold.
Hey folks,
I struggle to choose the right GPU. Rn i own a 7800xt and I'm quite happy with it. Although I have system freezes which are probably coming from my PSU. I will have a new PSU soon and if the problem still exists I will hate gigabyte cards lol(it's not ram or Mainboard, I tested everything)
Well , 9070xt has 16gb vram and is "just" 800€ . 5070 is about the same price but only 12gb vram . I play on wqhd widescreen something like that. Well 5070ti and 5080 are super expensive... So yeah that sucks. And why does the 9070xt doesn't have GDDR7 ? Why is that? I mostly play games but if I could get the newest thing I want the newest one if I spend above 800€ already. But paying double the price idk about that lol. Sad times we live in with these crazy prices. Yes we get also more money from our jobs but it's not in relation to the increasing price of consumer electronics..
