Upgraded from RX580 to a RX9070XT

Getting a solid 60 fos (don’t need more) on all games with most of the settings maxed (except for RT of course). Amazing card. Got it for 630 euros.
Rest of my specs is:
- MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge WiFi
- Ryzen 5 5600x
- 32 GB DDR4
- 850W PSU

Just upgraded from a GT1030 to a RX 7800 XT

I wanted to buy this over the newer 9060 XT (for the same price) and people on reddit said it was a good idea as well. Plus it just looks so gorgeous. For the first time in my life, I can play AAA titles. What should I start with?

Is there a difference between 7800x3d and 9800x3d on a 9070xt?

I’m going to build my first pc. I’m going into grade 11 and I got my first job a quarter way into my summer break. Ive been working very hard and I planned on saving all of my earnings. That was untill I found out that a few of my friends are building their own pc. I’ve always wanted a pc ever since my cousins got there a a few years back.

I have the parts for my build all ready to buy, but it’s pretty expensive. $3K CAD. I can afford it, and I’ll have about $1.5K CAD in savings. Ive been taking to many people (friends, coworkers, Reddit) about my build, and they all said to get it. A few of them suggested I upgrade my power supply to 1000w, and a few of them said that I should go with the 9800x3d.

I researched both things, and apparently I don’t need any of them (by research I mean AI). Should I change my cpu and psu?

CPU ~ AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core

CPU Cooler ~ Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM

Motherboard ~ Asus TUF GAMING B650E-PLUS WIFI ATX AM5

Memory ~ TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30

Storage ~ Kingston NV3 1TB M.2-2280 PCLe 4.0 solid state drive

Video Card ~ Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9070XT 16GB

Case ~ Corsair FRAME 4000D RS ATX Mid-Tower

PSU ~ MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850w

(This list WAS made with PcPartPicker)

Is there a big difference between both the 7800x3d and 9800x3d? I don’t want to spend an extra $130 CAD for no reason.

Any advice would help a ton! Thank you!

9070XT Takes The Lead

Saw this coming as soon as prices increased. AMD made a great GPU for value. I’m happy to own one

Sff GPU upgrade?

I currently have a pc I use for gaming which is running with a Ryzen 5 7600, 32gb ddr5 6000, 2tb Nvme storage, and a Rx 7800xt. I planned on waiting 5 years before upgrading the gpu and I bought it 2 and a half years ago but now with prices continuing to rise Im worried about waiting. I want to be able to play Forza horizon 6 at 1440p ultra with rt on which looking at benchmarks from techpowerup, it looks like Im likely to get around 43fps. I also want to play gta 6 when that comes out at decent settings. Would it be worth dropping $750 on the Rx 9070xt to get the 40% improvement in raster and larger In rt?

What does a new GPU generation need to convince you to upgrade?

A 50% performance uplift? More?

How does that work in the current situation when a new generation might bring big improvements to ray tracing and path tracing, while offering only a modest improvement in rasterization? Do you look at just one of them in order to make your decision?

Would new exclusive FSR features be enough to entice you?

Or do you refuse to buy a GPU from the next generation, regardless of what it brings to the table, and will only allow yourself a new GPU after skipping one generation or more?

This is all assuming a regular pricing situation where the new generation equivalent card costs 5~10% more than the previous one, rather than 50% more. Unless anticipating a price hike is something you take into account when making your decision to buy or not.

9070 xt vs 5080 4k gaming

I game at 4k and looking for a GPU, I currently have a 5080 asus prime that I paid 1310 euros for, however Ive 30 days to send it back.

I never had an AMD GPU before and I'm considering a 9070xt since its like 500 euros less and there seems to be some hype around this card..

For 4k gaming should I stick with a 5080 or drop down to a 9070xt? I was re-considering the games I play lately and it's mostly just league of legends, battlefield 6, call of duty and cyberpunk.

I am interested in the last of us and other zombie games too like dying light the beast.

Would I miss DLSS? RT/PT I like it but I usually just end up using ultra-high settings anyway because when im playing im not looking at water on the ground if it has sharp reflections xD

Hotspot on gigabyte 9070xt gaming oc - is this fine ? What's yours ?

First time going Team Red in my 25 years of PC gaming!

Have always used Nvidia but the current prices are too much. Trying an AMD GPU for the first time in my PC gaming life! Outside of using DDU to uninstall current drivers first, what else do I need to know?

AMD Adrenalin 25.9.1 detects both 7800X3D iGPU and RX 9070 XT, newer drivers leave 7800X3D as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter

Hi everyone,

I'm running the following setup:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  • GPU: XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT
  • Motherboard: GIGABYTE AORUS B850 WiFi7
  • Memory: 32GB DDR5 CL30
  • PSU: 1000W

I've noticed something odd with AMD graphics drivers and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

When I install AMD Adrenalin 25.9.1, Device Manager shows both the RX 9070 XT and the 7800X3D integrated graphics correctly under Display Adapters. Both appear to have AMD drivers installed.

However, when I install any newer Adrenalin version (anything after 25.9.1), only the RX 9070 XT gets an AMD display driver. The 7800X3D iGPU remains listed as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" and never gets updated to an AMD graphics driver.

I've tried rolling back and can consistently reproduce the behavior:

  • 25.9.1: RX 9070 XT + 7800X3D iGPU both get AMD drivers ✅
  • Newer than 25.9.1: RX 9070 XT gets AMD driver, 7800X3D stays as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter ❌

A few additional notes:

  • Windows Update (including driver updates) is disabled, so Windows is not automatically installing or replacing any display drivers.
  • I've tested multiple times with clean driver installations using DDU and see the same behavior.

Because of this, I've stayed on Adrenalin 25.9.1, but I'd like to move to a newer driver version if possible.

Has anyone with a Ryzen 7000-series CPU and discrete Radeon GPU seen the same issue?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to understand whether this is a driver packaging issue, motherboard/BIOS related, or if I'm simply missing a required installation step.

Thanks!

Upsiren UTP-8 en rx 9070 xt gaming oc salvó mi tarjeta.

Tuve un problema, me puse a probar diferentes pastas térmicas mx6, mx7 y PTM de aliexpress. El problema es que este último me aumento mucho el delta, y cuando quise volver a aplicar el mx7, el gel térmico de gigabyte perdió su elasticidad y forma, por lo cual terminé con un delta de 44 grados. No sabía que hacer, por más que le reaplicaba la pasta seguía dándome un mal delta hotspot. Así que terminé probando el upsiren UTP-8, con termal grizzly phasesheet ptm, los resultados son de un delta de 30 grados. Quizás no es tan bueno como los 27 qué tenía originalmente. Pero me siento feliz de haber podido salvar esta tarjeta de video, maldigo a gigabyte con toda mi alma por ese gel maldito. Si hubieran usado thermal pad esto no hubiera sido necesario.
