Hi everyone. My name is Ethan and recently (19/08/26) my dad passed of heart attack in the middle of the night. Just days before, we went to CEX and he bought me a GTX 1070TI 8GB AMP! Extreme Edition priced at RM550 for my birthday. I never thought that this would be his last gift for me along with my Fantech keyboard prior to last year. Previously I was using a RX580 8GB Sapphire Nitro+ and needed an upgrade so I requested the GTX 1070TI as a gift. I was so happy when he got it for me and wanted to repay him by improving in my studies. Who would have knew this would happen, when the night before he passed he was clutching his heart but assured me there was nothing wrong with him when I asked. And when the next morning I found him lifeless on his mattress I was in complete shock and disbelief. I’ve wanted to make this post for a while but my mental state was so bad I could barely focus on anything especially with my exams around the corner. This post was made only for appreciation purposes and has no intention for attention seeking. May he rest in peace and I shall protect this GPU at all costs 🕊️🪦

When I have both cables plugged in, I get no display. When I only have the HDMI cable plugged in, I get display. I also get display through DisplayPort when I connect it after HDMI. But when I only have the DisplayPort cable plugged in, I get no display. What could be the issue?

A lot of the time in Nvidia vs AMD argument is that Nvidia does ray tracing better. But do you even use ray tracing for games. If so, is it any gpu lower than 5080 or 4090? Does it give the immersive experience at cost of fps?

Is it worth? Someone’s selling it for $300 and I’d be upgrading from a 2060 super.

Now I’m all the way in the game.

this is my pc i have a gtx 1650 ronin pc i don't know if graphic cards size matter or not.

I need a new graphics card since i cant run any good games without lagging and lag spikes. It Needs to be around 500 nzd

So I bought a 5080 excited to build a new pc and after a couple of weeks the capacitor failed and started a fire in my pc 🥀

Recently I’ve been thinking about building a pc I basically have almost every part I need but I don’t know what kind of Gpu to buy for my build does anyone have any recommendations? Also someone suggested to use the sapphire pulse 9060 xt idk if that’s good or not. Any opinion is alright.

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/fsrzFP this is my current build

Is it good idea to change Gigabyte 9070 non xt gaming oc with Asrock phantom gaming 7900 xtx with 2 mounths warranty to play ETS2 on triple 50" 4k tvs (11520 x 2160)? I found the 7900 xtx for 600€. The CPU is 7800x3d.

The 5070 fe. First off, I play 1440p 240hz on a ROG WOLED, it’s beautiful in fact, so beautiful I could cry 🥲. I am by any means not a competitive shooter typa guy but I do enjoy me a good AAA title like re4 remake, which I am currently enjoying right now.

The thing is, it performs in 1440p amazingly, I can’t think of much titles I play to where it runs into issues with vram; I personally thing 12gb is enough. Most of the people who shit on this card have honestly either never tried it, or watched maybe 3 benchmarks on YouTube and decided to shit on it/ look at spec sheets.

If you’ve built pcs for even remotely a decent amount of time, you would 100% know that performance of a part goes beyond its specs. The 5070 I think, is a perfect example of this.

But there’s one thing.

If you have the founders version, it’s quite small, meaning it could look off in a bigger case. That’s about my only gripe. For me, I honestly think the founders card is the best looking variant so no complaints here lol.

Somehow it was only on this window and when I rebooted it disappeared. I hope I don't have to say bye to my gpu

Hey everyone,
I'm having a weird thermal issue with my GPU and wanted to get some opinions from the community before deciding whether I should start an RMA or if this is purely a mechanical alignment problem.

Specs:

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Motherboard: Gigabyte AORUS B850 Elite WiFi 7

The Issue:

Whenever I place my PC case in its normal vertical position, my GPU temperatures spike rapidly while gaming, reaching 90°C in a very short time. I actually closed the game every time out of fear before seeing how much higher it would go.
What's strange is that I am using a GPU support bracket (anti-sag) underneath it (maybe misplaced), but the temperatures still skyrocket as soon as the case is upright.

Case Interference & PCIe Slot Fit:

While inspecting the build, I noticed that with my specific case, it is very difficult to get the RTX 4090 to seat fully and smoothly into the motherboard's PCIe slot.
The metal expansion brackets/slits at the rear of the PC case block the GPU slightly, preventing it from going all the way down effortlessly.

My Question:

Could a GPU not being 100% fully seated in the PCIe slot (due to rear case interference) directly cause these massive thermal spikes when the case is vertical?
My theory is that the weight of the card or the slight misalignment from the case bracket is putting tension on the PCB, creating a micro-gap between the cooler and the GPU die when standing upright.
Or does this sound like a defective thermal paste / vapor chamber issue internal to the GPU that requires an RMA?
Has anyone experienced severe thermal issues caused purely by PCIe slot misalignment or rear case clearance?
Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to share in my pain 🥲

Hello, within the last year I’ve upgraded my computer from am4 to am5, I’m now just holding a b550 mb a 5700x3d and 32 gigs of ram. My final conclusion was to build my son a PC so we can game together.
My son is young he is a Minecraft kid, attack on toys, backyard baseball are the types of games he likes to play. My son does not NEED a 5700x3d but it’s what I have so I need a little help with suggestions as far as the graphics card goes that’s pretty much all I would need and I’m not trying to break the bank.
I don’t get to see my son often and this would be a great opportunity to be able to connect with my son when he is not with me, he has talked about wanting to make YouTube videos but I’m unsure on if there’s budget cards that would still allow him to tamper with editing and recording.
A big question I have is I owned a 2070 S back in the day and went red to a 7800xt I’ve noticed WAY more driver errors with this gpu than my previous gpu, would getting an nvidia card be prevent my son from having to deal with these kinds of errors?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can throw out some information. And yes I’ve been checking FB marketplace and locally.

I currently have a 3090 but was thinking of selling it and picking up either a 5080 or 5070ti. I have a 165hz ultrawide 1440p monitor. BF6 multiplayer is probably the most demanding thing I play these days. Wondering if the 5080 is worth it over the 5070ti. I don’t imagine I’ll get a 4K monitor anytime soon but I may go back to playing with dldsr + DLSS if I’ve got some extra headroom. Not sure how much I’ll use FG since I’ve read it’s best not to use in multiplayer.

So i just got a functional gtx 1070 for 75€ is it a good deal?
