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.

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

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.

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!

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..
