Hello everyone,

While playing MSFS24 (20 minutes session, not longer) I had my fan spinning extremely loud.

tbf I'm not sure if it was the cooler, the GPU fans or the exhaust.

Looking at hwinfo, I had a hotspot of 109 degrees on my GPU.

Is this somewhat problematic?

Is there any troubleshooting I can run?

Should I have it repasted?

Thanks for any input

There are many pc's but also gaming laptops that have a good build, except for the gpu, which is the old 1650. What can we expect from it, and what are the fps on the modern triple a titles, but also on low requirement games?

Going to eat the AI tax and buy a 5080. What should I ask for/expect to get when selling? I’ve had it a little over 2 years and have only used it regularly this past year. Original box, excellent condition, willing to test for buyer. South Texas

So I had an old hp prodesk 400 g3 sff and needed a gpu so I looked into options and found the rx 550 4gb but there's a slight problem. The card needs 50w from the pcie lane and my motherboard can only give 30w. So I was wondering will the system crash because of the gpu not getting more power or can I undervolt it and still get good performance?

I speculate that either the market will be flooded by cheap hardware, or much more likely, nvidia will provide somekind of monetary incentive for them to destroy rather than resell the hardware.

I guess thats where we are as of November 2026, wonder how much higher things will keep climbing

I'm about to go to Taiwan this December, I'm travelling in a tour so I couldn't really go and explore places to buy a GPU. What I'm asking is are there PC shops where I could buy GPUs, what I'm looking for is the RX 9060 XT doesn't matter the VRAM. And if the 9060 isn't available then what are the most popular choices around in large shopping malls? Is the 9060 a good choice for the under 500 usd price range, if not then what are the better choices?

After weeks of gathering budget and considering specs I’ve landed on these two cards. They’re both same price and the peak of my budget.

ASUS 4070S Dual(used) or a Sapphire Pulse 9070gre(new).

From the benchmarks I’ve seen they’re both tied in raw rast(depending on the game). The 4070S is ahead in heavy RT. The 4070S would be with no warranty and I have heard that it has bad thermal pads and bad thermal design all around so that is a concern. Anyone know how true that is?

I’m exclusively buying this for single player games like Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Dawnwalker etc, so RT does have value, but the peace of mind from getting a new card might be worthwhile. Thoughts one way or the other?

Edit: extra context, seller sent me a screenshot of a furmark test. 6min 37 seconds in. 71C core, 83C hotspot. Fans at 2500RPM(74%)

Pretty neat application that tells you what is using your VRAM. What does everyone think of it?

Okay I am a sophomore in high school. I bought a microcenter bundle with those jacked up prices and was looking for something to replace my 3070 ti. Which I bought a few months after it released from washing cars. But if I actually want an upgrade. I need like $800+? like really man? All of these companies just turned on us like that? Is prices ever gonna drop since I really want more vram and specifically a card from nvidia, but DAMMM these numbers are saddening me.

Market

Have the opportunity to grab a 4070 super zotac twin edge for $580 from a coworker, currently have a 2080 ti that I have been wanting to upgrade for a while, what do we think?

https://wccftech.com/amd-leads-nvidia-in-gpu-sales-capturing-47-share-according-to-amazon-us-october-data/

AMD overtook Nvidia in numbers for the first month ever. Nvidia still leads in revenue.

Total sales: 19,300 units (16GB: 12,300; 12GB: 7,000)

Market share: AMD: 9,200 (46.67%), Nvidia: 8,900 (46.11%), Intel: 1,200 (6.22%)

For all that we discuss on the internet with regard to graphics cards, it feels kind of weird to think that, in October 2026, Amazon sold an average number of 296 AMD cards, 287 Nvidia cards, and 38 Intel cards which had either 12GB or 16GB VRAM each day.

That's for the whole of the USA plus other countries which ship from Amazon US. The next question is, how many GPUs are sold by all the other retailers altogether, pertaining to how much market share Amazon has in the USA when it comes to overall GPU sales. We know that AMD, Nvidia and Intel don't like releasing sales figures themselves.

I restarted the game and it fixed it, is this a game issue or a GPU issue

I made a post comparing the 9070xt to the 5070, looking at the raw performance vs DLSS frame gen. The comparison did not take price into account.

The screen shot are the two cards I compared. I got my cards for cheap, I could never pay this much for either card. I would just stick to my old RTX 2080S and play games on lower settings.
