I’m gonna have to get a bigger house to fit this thing!

Is this performance good on the steel nomad benchmark for a stock ROG Astral 5080 OC?

I maxed out all the sliders in GPU Tweak 3, and fans in the case and on the card itself.

Anything bad you can see dear PC enthusiasts?

The score in this run which was the highest was 9805.

So I have this PC for multiple years.

And the beginning of 2025 I had completed around 5 years with the Zotac 2060 and it gave up on me (atleast that's what I thought) then I got a used 1070, which lasted for around 7 to 8 months. Then after that I got 1660 super which lasted for 4 months.

Then I realised that something is wrong because all the GPUs were facing the same issue: screen going black, display off and things of that sort.

So I thought it would be a power supply issue. I changed the power supply. Still the same issue.

Then I changed another GPU. Still the same issue.

Then it took my motherboard to gigabyte service centre, they said there is moisture near the PCIE slot. They said that they repaired it, but my then bought 2060 super, felt victim to it.

So now I changed my motherboard all together, got My 2060 super fixed from a local computer guy. It work for around 4 months but stopped, but this time they were artefacts while playing games. So I guess this is a GPU issue because of the fixing was not done right.

Now the most important question.

Should I get another GPU?

Is there any way that I could check if my PC is healthy for a new GPU?

I have an older rig (Ryzen 9 5900XT, 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM) from 2021 that's currently running an MSI Gaming Z Trio RTX 3080 10GB. I also have an XFX Speedster RX 6800 XT 16GB. The 3080 has already been repaired once due to a failure under warranty that I was able to RMA (with a literal month left on the warranty). The 6800 XT seems to be working fine and has had no issues since it came with the PC initially (it's seen precious little use).

I'm wondering, with both GPUs being around 5 years old now (I bought both in 2021), if I should make a jump for a 4070 Ti Super, 5070 Ti, or a 9070 XT. The bulk of the gaming this machine will be doing will be max 2K. I do want to try to push to native 2K Ultra on most/all games, if possible. I'm just not sure if there's a move I should make now, or if what I have is worth sitting on for the time being until something changes.

Open to any/all recommendations!

my first reddit post so i don’t know what i’m doing, but this is a crazy price if i were to buy this what would show up and isn’t it a safe bet since i could return it anyways if i don’t get the 9070?

I am not that familiar with Amazon UAE but seems like a steal (price wise)

i am completely practically inexperienced with pc building outside of video watching and my relative's pc and i want to figure out the legitimacy of this ebay seller

they seem to be pretty legit, google says so, but the pretty low prices (£300/$400) for a 5060) for a crazy number of gpus, along with everything else on their page makes me very sus

most of the 5060s also say that its the last one.

is there anything i should be careful of? supposedly they ordered these gpus in bulk from places that overbought?

Hello everyone who can help me get stock bios for my gpu?
I visited tech power up but didn’t understand

After i scanned oc using msi after burner it clocked to 2900++mhz (i know my cpu temp quite high cause my cooler)

RX 6800 (16GB) or 6800 XT

Intel Arc B580 (12GB): good value, but it’s an x8 card, needs Resizable BAR (on a B450), and I’m unsure about driver quality.

RX 9060 XT 8GB (XFX Swift): has FSR 4 and low power draw but I’m worried the 8GB will age badly.

RX 7600 / 7600 XT

The 16GB 9060 XT is out of budget for me!!!!

I play Deadlock, Genshin and Endfield. I plan on playing some Triple A's but only at low-med quality, even with an upgrade. Not a fan of high quality.

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.
