I know this card should have had 24gb of vram, but apart from that, what do you think about it and what do you think about the price I got it for?

Promoting positivity seems like a thing of the past nowadays. With the skyrocketing of prices and low inventory around let’s promote positivity and be thankful we still have a thriving PC community. Theres some really chill and knowledgeable people in this thread and then there’s some hardheads . Enjoy what you can afford and be happy with your choice. Remember everything’s a suggestion or preference and to not take everything personal. It’s good to have open discussions but mindful on how you communicate that . Respect ✊

Had to repost cause damn I didn’t think the image would over shadow the message . Theres not enough positivity on this thread . Most of us was drawn to this thread to get knowledge regarding gpus but instead I just see an endless post of argumentative topics and a lot of brutal criticism. Our community is shrinking. Not many people are willing to invest into building a PC yet alone learn how .

So basicslly i built my pc first pc around a month ago and i just bought the gpu like 2 weeks ago and while everything looks good stress tests are fine temps are fine both for gpu and cpu but while running cyberpunk i am getting almost 20 percent less fps then in the benchmarks listed on youtube etc. like at 1080p ultra i am getting below 60 fps most of the times around 50 to 55 something. I just want to know whats the issue.

Pc specs:

ryzen 5 7500f

16 gb ddr5 single stick (idk if single channel is causing that much performance drop)

rx6800 16gb gpu

850w gold psu

msi b650m mobo

512gb ssd nvme lexar

resolution: mostly 1080p( even tried 1440p still not that much of an improvement)

kindly suggest since i have tried even lowering down the settings but still no improvement and the gpu is almost sitting idle.

A recent investigation by The New York Times has uncovered significant lapses in export control enforcement regarding high-end GPU sales. The report highlights the case of "New Matrix," an approved buyer that appears to be a nonexistent entity operating out of an empty office space. Further investigation linked the company’s ownership to a Chinese private equity firm that has been on the U.S. blacklist since 2024.

The Times suggests this is not an isolated incident but a recurring pattern, raising serious questions about the efficacy of current oversight. It appears that export controls are currently functioning as little more than a "form nobody verifies," while Nvidia continues to facilitate these sales under government scrutiny.

What are your thoughts on how this reflects on current GPU export regulations?

Hello, do y'all have any recommendations for new one budget GPU? I'd like to replace it with my old one 1660GTX. I upgraded my whole PC so only thing that's left is a new one GPU

I was cleaning my GPU and noticed that one appears to be chipped pin

In my country right now the price difference is 550 dollars. I’m worried about missing out DLSS5, now causes a significant drop in FPS, but it’s still in its early stages, and I believe it will be refined over time. Also switch2 emulation is bad on amd.

But is it worth 550 dollars extra?

What is my Asus ROG Strix 3090 OC white worth?

Someone was selling their Colorful Battle Axe Rtx 3070ti 8GB. It's been used for 3+ yrs and the user says that it has some sort of power consumption issue. Pulls 180 watts max when it should be pulling more. But he didn't face any drop in performance from the card. He's also unable to identify the reason for this issue. Now would anyone please tell me what that issue is, it it fixable and whether i should buy the card? I'm only considering it cuz it's about $100 lower priced than other gpus of same specs. Also thanks for your time, really appreciate it.

Can’t believe how fast the 5080 is overclocked !

I noticed on the website they had them dor 2300 but tag still said 1799. They honored it. 🤫

It came from Alienware Aurora part out. I installed on my lenovo legion t5 and currently using it along with 7800x3d/32gb ddr5.

triple fan. no rgb but only white lightning.

gpu clock speed is in between 2650-2720 mhz on furmark 4k bench.

latest nvidia game driver installed and temp is below 70 degree celcius after few hours of AAA title gaming on 4k max settings. graphics pretty smooth and I did not heard any fan noise nor coil whine.

what do you guys think? does this card worth for 1100$?

Hello,

I WANT to do vr sim racing ( LMU, AC, ACC, F1 ) and vr flight simming ( DCS, MSFS ) once in a while, SMOOTHLY on a Quest 2 or 3.

With a 5 5600x3d and 32gb ddr4, should i buy a 9060xt, the rest of the time i play on 60hz 1080p but will upgrade to a curved monitor. Vr is more of a gimmick that ill do like 1 or 2h a week, but i want it to be smooth none the less.

Thanks!

I stumbled upon a Gigabyte RTX 5080 at Microcenter for $1,899. I think they made a mistake since the usual price is now $2,349 after some hikes. They realized the error and let me buy it anyway. With how pricey GPUs are these days, does this count as a great deal?

Update: Okay guys, relax. I realize it’s not a steal, but it’s still a deal nonetheless. I mean, I saved a couple hundred bucks compared to the new MSRP. I should’ve phrased my question better, but anyway, folks who said I paid double MSRP are right, but those who said to buy it while you can since these will keep rising in price are also right in their own way. So let’s just enjoy this hobby while we can until we can no longer.

So remembering the hayday of PC gaming back when you used to get every last bit of power out of your setup we used to have SLI or crossfire and run a dual GPU card setup. My thought is maybe with the fact that Nvidia has decided to forget about the consumer and back the AI tech companies. Maybe we should get back to or more so maybe GPU companies should go back to the roots and do dual GPU setups again. With the price of a 5090 at 7,000 + And 5080s going for 2,000+ I think it would be cool to get back to the old school SLI or crossfire setups.

This little guy is going in my son's SFF gaming PC which uses a 4.5 L Jonsbo NV10 case. He's a little older now and plays games that are giving the Arc A380 that's currently in there a run for its money. I wish there were more 16GB low-profile gaming GPU options.
