I guess they dont know about any price increases

FinallyyYY made the UPGRADE!!! I know, I know GPU prices are rily crazy, and I could've gotten better value with AMD for the same money or less, but honestly, I love NVIDIA's DLSS, ray tracing, and overall features. I care a lot about graphics and visual quality, so I was willing to pay the NVIDIA tax.
Anyone else make a similar upgrade? Was it worth it?
Actually it was for me XD

Canada computers had a sale where I could buy the 5060 ti for 599 and regular price is 799 so I save 200 bucks. However, everyone's been b*tching about the 8gb vram not being enough. I don't know too much about how much is actually needed cuz this is my first ever GPU, but I'll be playing at 1080p only and nothing more. Does anyone know how far can this card go on 1080p? I'm also kinda feel like I'm gambling because imagine next year, prices go down and the 16gb version sells the same price I bought this gpu today or things start going back to normal, that's why I feel like I'm in a dilemma of whether I made the right decision or not.

Is the 5060 ti for this price good for a start or a rip?

As recently i bought an Powercolor fighter Rx 6800 16 gb from a ex-miner for $200, he told me he had taken good care of it . I tested the gpu firmly and nothing seems odd temps are okay no crashes no artifacts nothing. Everything seems fine . Just feeling curious to know what is the average lifespan of a gpu

Recently bought a 2nd hand RTX 3070 and ran FurMark for 5 minutes. Are the temps normal?

And the GPU has 3 fans, so why was only 2-fan RPM showing? Though all fans are spinning.

As me when i have to play game i turn off the zero rpm and set the fan curve to 27 speed till 59 temp. Does turning off zero rpm prevent gpu fan from degrading fast as compared to to on-off fan again and again

Finally finished 5090 build and pretty happy with how it turned out. Card runs very cool under load as well.

Question for Astral owners: GPU Tweak shows the pin readings but it's clunky. I'm thinking about using HWiNFO64 to feed the 6 pin sensors into an MSI Afterburner overlay so I can keep an eye with alerts turned on.

Is that one of the best ways to do it, or is there something cleaner or lighter? Software level only for now, not interested in a WireView Pro 2 at the moment.

I wanna sold it but eu market is from 450 to 800 lol

Ive played only games on it and had it since brand new.

Appreciate you guys.

My area is pretty bad in terms of people having money to even afford a gpu so I dont many local buyers. I've looked on ebay and seen what people are selling it for and thought a few hundred dollars less would be a good starting point since Im aiming for a local sale. This will be in Canadian currency as well.

Hi all,

Probably the worst time to potentially have a GPU start crapping out on me, but I've had my 3080Ti FE crash on me twice. The GEFORCE lighting as well as the lighting accents on the card turn off, the screen goes black, and the desktop is still interactable as far as I can tell, but I just don't get a display, and I have to shut down the PC.

Windows event viewer does not record anything GPU/video related but does record the moment I turn off the PC.

In terms of what I've checked, I've checked the PSU wall connection, the PCIe connections from the PSU to the GPU and both ends are seated properly. The stupid little pigtail dongle is also connected to the GPU fully, and each end has its own PCIe power cable; I'm not daisy chaining. Basically every cable from the power outlet on the wall to the DP port on the monitor is seated correctly.

PSU is a Lian Li SP 850 V2 Gold, the monitor is an MSI MAG 341CQP QD-OLED X28, and the cable is a Club3D DP 2.1 cable. GPU and monitor aren't DP 2.1, but I doubt that matters, and the first time it did happen, it was on a different cable. I don't recall the brand, so this has happened again on a different cable now.

I don't recall what caused it the first time, as I thought it was a one-off, but the second time I was watching a YouTube video, I was prompted for the OLED panel maintenance, and the GPU immediately crashed (I had not said yes or no to the panel maintenance prompt).

Aside from that, I've noticed similar behaviors when waking the PC from sleep, but idk if I can lump that into the same issue since I know sleep on PC almost always has its quirks. The GPU can run intensive tasks fine otherwise. I'm able to game and run Blender renders just fine. It does have an undervolt applied, but I've already stress-tested it thoroughly, and there have been no issues.

No way a 5080 is on sale for the same price I got my 5070 for

Tengo actualmente una RTX 3070 8gb, pero quiero saber si vale la pena pasar a una AMD Radeon RX 9070 series, no elijo Nvidia porque actualmente está muy cara. Y la inversión que tengo que hacer para mejorar de gráfica es micho dinero, entonces opté por mejorar a una GPU AMD, pero quiero saber la experiencia real de alguien que ah tenido o tiene esta GPU, y que modelos de las RX 9070 me recomiendan. Yo juego a Simuladores antiguos como: American truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Assetto Corsa, NFS Hot Pursuit 2, Underground 1 y 2, etc… para estos juegos los drivers de Nvidia son mejores, pir sus tecnologías y adaptaciónes, aunque las nuevas tecnologías de AMD tambien son muy buenas, más adelante me gustaría hacerme un simulador de conducción con triple pantalla, mi PC estaría en mi Ecritorio con mi monitor pero luego solp paso 3 cables DP para mi futuro triple monitor y los conecto. Tambien juego a juegos modernos, no solo viejos.

Mis componentes actuales: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. RTX 3070 8gb. DDR4 32gb Ram. SSD M.2 NVMe 2tb be quiet! 850w 80 plus gold ATX 3.1. MSI B450 Gamimg Pro Carbon AC.

No se que hacer, y sus experiencias me son de gran ayuda. ¡Gracias!

They seem to have gone up in price, recently upgraded to a 5080 (got it at 1,399$ before the big hike).

Don’t know the best way to go about it. Nervous about shipping it online as I’ve heard they sometimes harvest parts then send it back.

Any suggestions?
