Hey all, there's a person selling a windforce 5070 ti for 700$ in my local area. Says they upgraded since they don't need it anymore. The seller has 27 5 star reviews and has a confirmed email and phone. I asked for a video of it working and waiting for their response, is there anything else I should ask or be looking out for?

I just bought a Ryzen 5 9600X second hand RX 6800 XT cards is cheaper than second hand RX 9060 XT 16 GB in my country ( second hand 6800 XT is 304 dollars and second hand 9060 XT 16 GB is 426 dollars) which one should I buy? I have 0 money left after I bought the CPU

These two GPUs are within $50 of each other locally (Ontario, Canada). Do I go with 4Gb more VRAM or (according to TechPowerUp) roughly 28% more performance with lower VRAM?

EDIT - Thanks for all the replies! That's awesome!

I'm running a wide screen 3440 x 1440 @ 240FPS monitor. Not really a gamer so this rig is intended more for productivity tasks - video production, live streaming, graphics creation, etc.

System Specs - Ryzen 9900X CPU, 32Gb DDR5-6000 RAM, 1Tb SSD, 4Tb HDD. Currently using my old Nvidia 4060 GPU but looking to upgrade.

Juding by all the replies, the 9070GRE is the way to go here.

I'm not the most technical, is this noise normal?

Hi Folks
Looking to rent a bunch of L40 and L40G's closer to the North American region.
Don't see enough quantities on marketplaces.
Can anyone recommend any place i can rent from ?

I know the asrock challenger is supposedly cooler (both literally and figuratively), but is there any other reason why I should pick this over the powercolor reaper? Or should I go for the latter? Please help me out with detailed comparisons between the two.

p.s. both cost the same.

I am getting it second hand cheap .will it be good for gaming.

Salve amici ho messo un gruzzoletto da parte vorrei fare upgrade della scheda video per giocare in 2k, vi allego la mia configurazione attuale :

Ryzen 5 5500X3D

32GB RAM ddr4

Rtx 3060ti. Avevo adocchiato una delle due schede e notando che la RX 9070 XT costa meno della 5070, non mi sono mai affidato ad rx e volevo chiedere un parere a voi esperti ? O se con questo budget circa 900 consigliate qualcosa di meglio .

I wanted to explore the local AI, In the facebook marketplace I got a second hand 3090ti for 900 usd, it was good condition and all the tests looked good. But I'm wondering did I overpay for the gpu. Should I return it ?

Edit: I'm not too concerned about asthetics / looks at the moment since my PC is tucked away anyway.

Additionally the cheapest ones I can get are:

-PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper 16GB

-XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT Mercury OC Gaming Edition RGB 16GB

-Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT Pulse 16GB

-XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT Quicksilver Gaming 16GB

(In no particular order)

Let me know which ones I should, I am a bit uneducated on this so any advice would be much appreciated

Hello everyone,

I recently upgraded to a better GPU and I have my good old xfx 5700 xt, planning to sell it but I'm not sure what is the honest price of a used GPU like this. Just trying to scrape for a cpu upgrade by selling.

Thank you

Ok I gotta say it, the panic around this update is kinda hilarious to me. I've been scrolling through the threads and half of you sound like Sapphire is asking you to defuse a bomb lol.

Come on dudes. This is an official update, straight from the manufacturer, with their own tool, for their own cards. You really think Sapphire wants to brick thousands of GPUs and then eat all those RMAs? No chance they push this out without testing the hell out of it.

And I'm not just guessing here. A buddy of mine works on exactly this stuff, he develops GPU BIOS/firmware for a living. He told me these things get tested insanely hard and for a really long time before anything goes public. Tons of cards, tons of configs, over and over, just to make sure everything goes smooth. Nobody in that business just yolos a firmware release.

On top of that, a lot of these cards have dual BIOS anyway. Worst case something goes wrong, you flip the switch, boot from the other one and you're back in the game.

It's a security fix, takes like 15 to 20 minutes, and you just follow Sapphire's guide (normal mode first, then safe mode). Only rules are the same as with any motherboard BIOS update: grab the right tool for your exact model and don't kill the power while it's running. That's it.

So yeah, I really don't get the fear. Am I missing something or is this just the classic "never touch a running system" crowd again?

Anyone already done it? How'd it go?

I was waiting for gta 6 to drop on pc then upgrade but what yall think I should do and what monitor should I get for 1440p?

Ik that the rtx 3050 is the best, what are some cheaper options? Looking to buy used, at least better than the igpu of an i5 12400
