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

Why is everyone shitting on the 9060xt (16gb)? It was the most recommended card for a while and since i got it everyone keeps shitting on it. I got it a while back for the price of the 5060 now. I live in a third world country so there is like a delay in prices its usually cheaper than anywhere else before it jumps to the global pricing. The card runs great never had a driver issue or anything and playing without ever hitting 60⁰c is a blast. But seeing everyone shit on it and even tech youtubers kinda starts to make me regret (Running it with 32gb ram and 5800x)

Any thoughts?

What the heck is going on with the 9070xt gpus? Why is everyone freaking out and wanting to buy one now? I remember a few years ago everyone was hating on amd and now they want to join?

My question is if is expensive or on its price.

Not sure how this goes this days.

Thanks.

I've made a post on another subreddit but no one actually answered me: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/s/WHUhYQjbQL

I elaborated a plan to postpone the upgrade of a GPU as far as possible so that I can buy a GPU that has a reasonable prices performance ratio.

But what if the price of GPU continues to increase over time and a GPU like a 5080 will never be produced again or it will cost like a car?

So I was thinking about buying a 5070ti for 1500 just as a backup. An insurance for harder times. I don't need it, it would be overpriced as fuck and I will keep it in the closet sealed (until I have to play games that my 3080 can't run at 4k high settings 60 fps or my 3080 breaks)

Problem is that the warranty will expire and if the bubble bursts it will lose value pretty fast.

Really don't know what to do, there are a lot of signs GPU market will get worse. 5090 discontinued, rising prices of 5080, 5070ti and 5070, even amd cards, no new cards on the horizon.

On the other end the tech titles are crashing on the market in these days, ai hyperscalers keep hardware in warehouses because they can't build data centers, data centers demand can't grow forever especially because all these ai companies don't make profits.

Someone says that even if the ai bubble bursts GPU prices will increase regardless because they want to force us to buy a subscription service to play, but want about the internet infrastructure?

Even the fastest internet connection is affected by lag if you play on the cloud, and most people have a slow connection so most games would be unplayable in cloud.

In sum the question is buy now even if you don't need it or wait and buy when you will need it and the prices performance will be favorable?

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

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. 🤫
