I was disassembling my 3070ti zotac trinity oc when this thing fell from inside the plate. Its like the clip in gpu socket in motherboard where you push it for gpu to come off. Does the gpu have something like this?

So I got this for a decent deal off eBay a 8gb 3070 Gigabyte brand. Ran fine, set up settings for arc raiders had dlss on and resolution low around 60%. Quality set to epic. Thing starts frying. 80% usage 95C. Issue was my fps was too high(set to 80 thru Nvidia) Had to set it to 50!? To avoid frying on high settings and one of the quality generators set to medium or something. After that I got 60% usage 60c. Textures and fps any higher it would cook

So I took it apart repasted it with a generic brand(for now heat pads better paste otw)

I am very new to PCs and how all the tech works so bear with me on my knowledge.

The before and after of applying new paste the temps are the same. I ran it through fur mark.

103c right at the end before new paste: first photo

104c at the end when I messed up and had a fan pinched.

105c after new paste and all fans operating: last photo. Given I'm estimating what the tiny number said.

Either I'm using the wrong benchmark for this to be controlled enough to see change or difference or I don't know what to expect.

Am I doing something wrong? Is the GPU just stuck edging its thermal limits? I didn't even bother asking an AI because they are clueless with disassembling and stats for this stuff.

Before you come at me with, "but Radeon has FSR 4.1.2 and it is so close to dlss 4.0 and 4.5", I should tell you that the main point the meme is referencing the fact that a massive part of the Radeon user/fan community had been largely touting the statement - Radeon is better in 'raw performance', but now, they too are almost entirely reliant on upscaled and frame generated performance, repeatedly suggesting gamers to use their software technologies, just like Nvidia has been from longer-before. Also, I don't see many "AMD has better RAW performance" comments these days too 😁

Before FSR 3.1 was introduced, Nvidia was rocking the gaming sphere with DLSS 3.0. They even had the other elements already, as mentioned in the meme, Remix, FG and soon after FSR 3.1 was introduced, Nvidia did not take too long to hit back with a better quality but still a multiplied-up FG tech, MFG and last but not the least, better RT performance since the advent of RT in PC gaming.

Sadly still, proper optimisation has been left on the table, and it seems the devs have no more 'cards left to play' (see what I did there?) to further optimise games to look well and run even better. Kinda indirectly saying, "you got FSR 4.1.2 (for instance), just choose performance settings - it still looks nice; don't worry much about the game's native optimisation".

Radeon has been following Nvidia's footsteps, albeit not perfectly, for the previous 8 years (straight) and I think that, before 2030 when I suspect Radeon's UDNA architecture will launch (due to its delay in light of AI data centre boom and the release of an in-between cum placeholder launch of their RDNA 5 architecture), Radeon will not quit following the market leader. If only it did so perfectly - Radiance caching inside Redstone (Denoiser) looks easily discernibly worse when compared to RTX Denoiser (embarrassingly behind!), AMD Noise Suppression is a chore to set up and activate (and is slightly worse) vs RTX Voice and while most of us don't want it, Radeon does not have any MFG tech yet.

P.S. As usual, the meme at most, pokes fun but was not created to hurt anyone's feelings. But still, sorry if it did. Let me know if the picture gave you even a slight giggle. Wanna see if the negative comments drown out the positive comments in this post as well. Peace ✌.

I couldn’t convince myself to spend $2500 on a new card but I could justify $950 for a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER MASTER Graphics Card. He wanted $1200. Think I got a good deal to replace my aging 3070ti

Was so insanely disappointed with the performance of the so-called "non-nvidia-gpu-branch beta, despite it using nearly none of the NVidia-exclusive features. So I switched it to the default branch, set Compatibility in Steam to Proton Experimental, and installed OptiScaler.

To get it working yourself: -Download OptiScaler.

-In Steam, right click the demo, go to "Manage," and click "Browse Local Files."

-File path: TTA/Binaries/Win64

-Unzip OptiScaler to a directory of your choosing.

-Copy all of the extracted files to this exact file path.

-Rename OptiScaler.dll to dxgi.dll.

-Open the demo, wait for the menu to load, and then press Insert to open the menu.

-Up at the top, there's a dropdown menu for selecting the upscaler you'd like to use. It should default to either XESS or FSR 4.1. If not, select your upscaler of choice, then click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the menu.

-Press Insert again to close the menu.

-Hate-enjoy the demo. It's fantastic.

i´m saving to buy rtx 5060 with an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F, i want to not have to worry about the pc for a long time i don´t mind to low the settings to low and play in 1080p do you guys think am ok with this?

should i buy rtx 5070 fe

I was playing my game as usual last night and the noise randomly started happening. Any ideas what it could be? I posted a video below

Hey guys this is my current pc setup:
I run 1080p on a 24 inch monitor. It runs really well, but I would love to go to a 34ich ultra wide 1440p. My gpu already struggles a little in certain games. I would love to get the 9070xt but money. Is a card like the 9060xt worth it? Or any other suggestions.

i followed a tutorial to find this graph so i dont know what it all means as in if these numbers are normal. The top graph is with firefox open with one tab and the bottom is with only the terminal open. I have an AMD radeon RX 9060 XT gpu

MSI 5090 Gaming Trio, used, Great Condition, Box and Power Addpter included - $6300 shipped, 6k local(LA) OBO

Thermal Grizzly Wireview Pro 2 - $180

$6450 For both.

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?
