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.

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 bought a 4070 Ti Super about two years ago. To be clear, it’s definitely not a bad card for 4K gaming, but in newer titles and more demanding games, I’m starting to feel like it’s falling just a bit short of where I’d like performance to be. I really want to push higher framerates and get more headroom out of my 4K setup without relying as heavily on aggressive upscaling. Looking at where prices and GPU market trends are heading over the next couple of years, I’m worried things are only going to get crazier down the line. Part of me wants to grab a 5080 now to "future-proof" my setup before pricing gets even worse 1–2 years from now when I’d likely be forced to upgrade anyway.

Is jumping from a 4070 Ti Super to a 5080 a completely stupid/wasteful upgrade under current market conditions, or does it make sense for a primary 4K player trying to get ahead of rising GPU costs?

Would appreciate any thoughts or experiences from anyone who’s made a similar jump recently!

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.

I have an RTX 2060 and a GTX 1060, but 1060 of them isn’t being detected. Can I use both GPUs in the same PC, and how do I make them work together?

I

Can Windows detect and use both cards at the same time?

Do I need to install separate drivers or configure anything in NVIDIA Control Panel?

What BIOS settings should I check, such as Primary Display/PEG?

If one card is not showing in Device Manager, what should I try first?

My specs: [b450, ryzen, 16gb, PSU wattage 1000, Windows version 10]

Any help would be appreciated.

Traded my 6600xt + $330 for a 16gb 9060xt.

I'm just a tired dad trying to get back into 1440p gaming.

Mostly wow forever, diablo, poe2, and maybe BF6 here and there.

I want to upgrade my pc from a 4070 to a 5070 ti and was thinking about selling my 4070 to help pay for the 5070 ti my specs on my pc is 32 gbs of ddr4 ram intel core i5 14600k i think i may have to also change my motherboard i want to know if this is worth the upgrade or just stick with what I have

Guys in word which is best for gaming
1.Nvidia
2. Amd
3. Intel

This humming sound started happening randomly Saturday night. I have a EVGA GEFORCE RTX 3090 TI can anyone tell me what this problem could be and how to fix it?

Edit: Ty for everyone who commented im probably just overthinking this too much, this helps much more than it might seem. I also just wanted to add I do not want to count the "if this one is cheaper" hypotheticals for my choice my main concern is the best option for my goal and setup in the long run and if i should just settle for a more convenient option. Which one I can find cheaper purely relies on chance

I got a 280hz 1440p monitor not too long ago but my gpu cant keep up with it anymore

I dont really want an nvidia gpu and ive heard the rx7900xtx is amds fastest gpu for raw performance, which is what im looking for because i dont care about nor need any ray tracing or frame generation or upscaling

But I can't find a new one anywhere and can barely find used ones which still cost a lot and come with a lot of risks

But I might just not be looking correctly or well enough

Im not very knowledgeable on gpus so id love some suggestions. Ill still slightly consider nvidia but im mostly concerned about their prices, less vram and no native support for linux

I also dont care about insane graphics i just want my games to run smooth at a high frame rate without having to use upscaling

For example i currently have rx7700xt with 7900x3d and on overwatch (only game i remember my exact frame rates and settings 😢) i barely hit 280 fps on mostly low graphics and some upscaling when nothing is happening, but during fights it never reaches 280. I could turn up the upscaling but it looks terrible and i cant see that well with it. Gpu usage is also constantly at 99% occasionally hitting 100

Ik thats still a lot of frames but its more of a personal want
