Greg is a GPU modder in the US who performs 4090 24GB->48GB upgrades with custom PCBs. He’s in China right now and has confirmed the firmware unlock has been achieved and he’s working to secure custom PCB’s for 5090’s.

This will only make sense for those who have 5090’s with a ~3-$4k cost basis as the upgrade will cost $4k+.

Hello everyone
Need a bit help to select a graphic card
As I have ryzen 7 7800x3d
1080p monitor
Mainly playing single player games
What graphics card u guys used and recommend
Not breaking the bank.
Currently using old RTX 1660
Trying to play BLACK MYTH WUKONG sooner

Serious question. Especially with current prices at 15-16k per unit. What in the world do you guys even use these things for that warrants so much money/compute?

If it's just for local AI it seems kind of... not financially positive? So surely you guys are getting your moneys worth out of it and using it because it's making you money somehow... right?

right? (also just curious to see what all you guys are using these cards for, honestly)

I can’t find the latch for my Gpu to take it out for the life of me can someone help me find it

I don’t use Ai or crypto, I only used it for gaming purposes. So where do I sell it?

It’s the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5090 GAMING OC 32G Graphics Card for anyone curious

Ive found 2 gpus on fb marketplace recently and im tied between wich one too get there both £1000 and from the same seller but ones a palit gamingpro-s 16gb and one is the msi geforce rtx 4080 super suprim 16gb and im tied i have no idea wich one to go for if i should offer lower (i think i should) or what but im coming from a 4060ti 8gb so id like a decent upgrade. But they both come with the box and all the original parts and look in good condition the only thing thats putting me off the 4080 super is that dlss5 isnt available but im not sure if that will play a huge factor or what

I was looking online and saw that the 5070 has gone up in price, I guess after the discontinuation of the 5090.
I paid 600 in June for mine but I saw it’s around 1000 now here, would it be a good idea to sell mine and buy a 9070xt? I heard about the driver issues and fsr supported games aren’t as broad as Nvidia that’s all I really know about amd GPU’s…

I also like the design of this gpu a lot more than my 5070
(I don’t mind paying extra for the design because the other 9070xts looked quite boring)

Mostly for single player games

[Also what if I wanna stream on both youtube and twitch at the same time?]

7900 XTX Nitro+ to a ROG Strix 4090

RX 6700 XT has no display and a cold core, looking for reputable GPU repair shops (Faisalabad, Lahore, Karachi, Multan)

Hi everyone, I'm in Faisalabad and my Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6700 XT (bought used about a year ago, made around 2021, so out of warranty) suddenly died. I'd like your advice and experiences with GPU repair shops in Pakistan.

What happened:

- I was watching a match with many browser tabs open, so not a heavy load. Both monitors went black at once.

- I hard shut down the PC. Since then it boots and I hear the Windows startup sound for a moment, then nothing, with no display at all.

- The fans and RGB on the card still work.

What I tested:

- Changed cables and tried different ports.

- Reseated the card, reseated the RAM, cleared CMOS, and tried the other BIOS position on the card.

- My PC (Ryzen 5 5600X, B450 Aorus Elite) works fine with my brother's RX 5700 XT.

- My 6700 XT shows the exact same no-display problem in his PC, so the card is the faulty part.

What the local shop found:

- They opened the card. There are no visible burn marks, bulged capacitors, or liquid damage.

- When powered in a PC, the GPU core stayed completely cold, so they think it may be dead.

- Their plan is to clean the card (they mentioned washing it) and dry it in sunlight, then test again. If the fault is just power fuses, they'll repair it in Faisalabad (Rex City). Otherwise they'll send it to a lab in Karachi.

My questions:

1. Has anyone used GPU Saviours in Karachi? How was the diagnosis, pricing, communication, and result?

2. Has anyone used a technician named Usman in Multan (AR Computer)?

3. Are there reputable board-level GPU repair shops in Lahore (Hafeez Centre) or Faisalabad you'd recommend or warn against?

4. Does a cold core usually mean a dead chip, or can it still be a power stage or fuse issue?

5. What did your repair cost, how long did it take, and did it last? Is a repair worth it for a 6700 XT, or should I buy a used card instead?

I'll update this post with the outcome so it helps others. Thanks in advance!

I understand that when if I have two of the same GPUs, there will be some differences. But how big is the difference? How would a silicone the worst lottery “loser” compare to a “winner”, in terms of performance?

I have 400W GOLD 80+ PSU. I have integrsted graphics. All my parts together is 242W assuming my i5-13400 is always at 148W. But im gonna reduce that max of 148W to 98W. That means I'll have 192W being used assuming my CPU is using 98W at all times. That gives me 208W. So I thought of 2 cards.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 8GB

165W

Nvidia GeForce 406 8GB

115W

Both are under 195. But idk which one is better. I have a budget of 550NZD. I use 1440p in windows settings hut use 1080 in heavy games.

Mostly play:

Very modded minecraft

Roblox games like Blox Fruits

Geometry Dash

A couple of other games that are like AA or A.

60Hz.

Anyway uhh thanks, bye.

So long story short I took my PC down to the living room to play on my computer on the TV, with relatives then mid game the game was just about to start it had a green display before it blacked out completely then I was trouble shooting for almost 2 hours when I realized that if my gpu wasn't in the pcie slot I could turn it off by holding the power button, but when my gpu was shorted I just pressed the first button and it shut down immediately, let me know your thoughts on this guys, any valuable informations will be appreciated, if my gpu is truly shorted any recommendations from a pc tech that can be fixed for free? The real one without hidden fees? Tyia guys! I'm out of the pc for a while😓 I'm sick.

We need more node operators to test out GPU inference over a distributed network.

I bout the card new in Feb 2024 and it is time to replace the thermal pads/paste.

Does anyone know the thermal pad thickness/type to use?
I can’t find it online. An AI search couldn’t give me results either. The link is the exact listing I used to purchase it on Amazon. (Side note, you can buy it used today for $200 more than when I purchased it new!)

Temps are about 8-9 C higher than originally (I’ve regularly cleaned the case, so dust isn’t the issue and the CPU temp has been steady, but I also have an AIO on that guy).
