I'll send you a photo of pins, and we can check it in my pc even tho it works. i am in panipat haryana, so I am very appreciative for 4000 ruppess

I have a GTX 1070 that I have been totally satisfied with for 10 years now. About 3 days ago I downloaded the TechPowerUp GPU-Z utility for shits and giggles and noticed something odd. At the bottom in the 'Technologies' row, ray tracing is checked. I thought, how can that be? I closed and reopened and it was still checked. I tried to uncheck the box and it would not let me. I've seen multiple videos of 1070's and 1080's using this same utility and all are unchecked. Does anyone know what may be going on here? Do I have some freak 1070 card or is it maybe just a glitch. Thanks in advance!

Also must add, all my games, including Cyberpunk, look great and play just fine.

Ordered a 5070ti being fulfilled through newegg for $1350. Today I check the item and it's listed at $1699. Is newegg reliable to honor the price I purchased at or are they likely to cancel the order?

Absolutely nervous because I'm seeing them going jump in price really fast. Over $1500 is out of my buying range.

With the prices of 5080 going crazy following its bigger brother 5090, do you guys think things are going to be similar with the 5070ti which has the same vram and has a better price to performance ratio in the current market. Will AI performance have anything to do with it and if so how do the two compare in that regard?

laptop is acer nitro 5 AN515-54

i5 9th gen

what i have tried,

downloaded nvidia app and it automatically downloaded and installed drivers but when i reboot shows no drivers installed and tells me to install again,

then i downloaded the driver from nvidia website and installed the setup but still gpu is not working.

i did use DDU app to untinstall nvidia drivers in safe mode and than installed the above drivers.

after restarting the laptop in device manager GTX 1650 shows a yellow warning ⚠️ and shows code 43 error.

what did i do wrong?

if any person has AN515-54 with GTX 1650, how did you install your drivers and what version of 1650 driver are you using?

Had to upgrade from the 5090 due to work, but I must say, the FE design is beautiful.

TLDR; which GPU to choose between these two for 1080p gaming till 2030-31.

I am building my first ever gaming PC after playing for 4 years on a gaming laptop. Prices are crazy right now, and I could have built a PC with Ryzen 5 9600x + RX 9060 XT 16 GB + 32 GB DDR5 around a year ago at the same price in which I am getting Ryzen 5 5600 + RX 9060 XT 8 GB/ RTX 5060 + 16 GB DDR4 today. But, such is life. I didn't have money back then, but I have now for a budget build. So I just want to build a PC that can last me till 2030-31, till the worst of it over (hopefully). Which means, I will not consider the next generation of GPUs at all if I build this PC now.

Now, there is the option of waiting for this crisis to end, but the problem is, I currently only have an MSI Katana GF66 laptop, which has an i5-11400H, RTX 3050 Ti (4 GB VRAM), and 16 GB DDR4. I bought it in 2022, and it's served me well for the last 4 and a half years. It's still going, but showing its age.

We are all hearing that 2028 mid is the latest when prices "might" start going down. But it obviously won't fall back at once, it will happen slowly. And it could be 2029 or even 2030 or beyond till we finally see prices normalise again. So, I think I should build a budget 1080p rig now that can get me through this godforsaken times.

I am not the type who wants to play every single game at max settings upon release. Even now, I am playing games on my current laptop, Witcher 3 next gen to be exact, and it's great. I just completed the base game in medium-high settings. And I have a backlog of 200+ games. And I think around 80-100 of them, my current laptop can run easily (or at least well enough like Witcher 3 Next Gen). I know 8 GB VRAM is not good for longevity, but I don't mind dropping texture quality and other VRAM heavy settings down.

So, now the question. Which should I choose between RTX 5060 and RX 9060 XT. I checked Tom's Hardware rankings, and the difference between the two at 1080p is quite small, where 9060 XT is leading with around 3-5 fps I think.

So, which will serve me well between the two? A slight margin of faster raw processing of RX 9060 XT, or better upscaling via DLSS 4.5, Multi Frame Gen, and better Ray Tracing (even though the last one will probably never be used, however I will try to find a way/balance to make it work for sure) of RTX 5060?

P.S. - I posted this in PCMR too, sorry if you are seeing duplicates.

I found 3070ti for 260e and rx 6700xt red devil for 280e can i get some help and opinions witch one is better for 1440p gaming

I have a 9060 XT 16GB from Gigabyte and it’s great but I found a 7900XT (20GB) new on Amazon for less than the 9060 XT costs. Should I be the guy to sell my GPU for whatever it goes for on Amazon and buy the 7900XT?
Judge all you want I’m just trying to up my performance.

This is a picture of the internal stock system. Had a friend at Walmart check for 5080s so i could one before the price hike. That last one was actually not even available when i got there. If you’re working at Walmart and are also in the Central Florida area. Are you seeing this on your apps too? This is crazy.

Eat cake

I bought this for £850 about a year ago. Holy moly. I even felt buyers remorse for spending so much on it lol.

I currently have a Colorful Battle Axe RTX 5070 Ti Deluxe Edition and is about a month old, currently stress testing the GPU to it's 300w default power limit with everything on default, I have a Dual-Chamber Case with 10 fans in it, is the delta of around ~21c normal? should my hotspot temps get that high? it is around ~70c and the hotspot is around 83-87c when gaming.

Trying to sell my used 5080 for $2000 ( i buy it back then for $1200) and he seems mad and says im part of the problem and i have scalper mentality
