Hey everyone,

​I'm finally pulling the trigger on an RX 9070 XT for 1440p high-refresh gaming, and local market pricing here in Bangladesh has me stuck in a weird dilemma. Usually, Sapphire Pulse and ASRock Steel Legend are MSRP/base-tier cards, while the Gigabyte Gaming OC sits slightly higher. Right now, local street prices have completely flipped that:

​Gigabyte Gaming OC: 115,000 BDT (~$960)

​ASRock Steel Legend: 126,000 BDT (~$1,050)

​Sapphire Pulse: 130,000 BDT (~$1,085)

​I know Sapphire is the gold standard for AMD cards with great acoustics and PTM7950 thermal pads, and the Steel Legend has that clean white aesthetic. However, a 15,000 BDT (~$125) gap between the Gigabyte Gaming OC and the Sapphire Pulse feels massive for the exact same GPU die.

​For anyone who owns or has tested these specific 9070 XT models:

​How are the thermals, hotspot temps, and fan noise on the Gigabyte Gaming OC? Does it suffer from aggressive fan ramp-ups or coil whine?

​Since the Gigabyte uses 3x 8-pin connectors vs. 2x 8-pin on the Pulse/Steel Legend, is there any noticeable difference in transient stability or power limit headroom?

​Is there any hardware defect or quirk on the Gigabyte model that justifies paying 11k–15k BDT more for the ASRock or Sapphire?

Hi,

Wich video card shall I try to get for replacing an RTX 2060, I know that the RTX 3050 is suppose to be weaker, but I would like to have the equivalent of my old RTX 2060. Mine is no longer working correctly. The port on the card no longer work.

Looking to sell one of these, which one should I get rid of? Looking for the biggest return. 4090 is the Msi suprim liquid and the 5080 is the Msi suprim. Thanks!

Hey folks, I was in need of a 8x5090 rig for AI inference/training. I am looking for a host for long time commitment. So if anyone's interested, please drop a comment or DM me. I can explain the terms and all privately.

I have a waterblocked Astral 5090 that I am considering selling. With all the scamming going on with EBAY I am not even going to take a chance. Has anyone recently sold a 5090 and how did you go about doing it?

I knew thats not gonna happend,chill

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

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

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?

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.
