TLDR is that I bought it during COVID along with the rest of a new desktop but moved too much and never got around putting it together. Ended up getting a Lenovo Legion I used for gaming at the time which has survived to this day.

Given how chaotic the market is right now and I get wiiiildly different numbers between eBay, Amazon, buildup sales, etc. What’s an appropriate price to sell it at?

Don’t have the box anymore but if there’s anyway to prove if it’s been used before someone would be able to find it’s never been touched, and aside from being slotted in once has never touched another component. (Gave up when my case wasn’t big enough for it)

Hey everyone, I’m building a pc for the first time time and looking to have something future proof to last me through the next generation of consoles (I’ll be skipping the PS6 due to Sony’s string of weird choices like actively arguing for lack of ownership and dynamic store pricing). I got a bundle on Microcenter for a 7800x3d with a motherboard and 32gb of DRR5 ram and now looking at GPU’s. Microcenter has a deal for a 9070 XT for $699 ($735 with tax) and I was dead set on that. But then I saw a gently used 1.5 year old 4070 Ti Super on Facebook for $650 and I talked him down to $610. I would save a little money and from looking at other posts I’m wondering if this suits my needs anyway. I have a monitor but want to play AAA single player games at 4k 60fps on high settings and ray tracing if possible on my 65 inch LG OLED C1. It looks like FSR has gotten much better but DLSS is still more supported and performs better, and I know to play 4k I’m going to be upscaling.

So the question is, buy the used 4070 TI Super bringing my total around $1600 or spend an extra $125-$225 on the more raw powerful and new from the store 9070 XT? Which is better for 4k 60fps with ray tracing maybe and higher settings on AAA games?

EDIT: I guess I don’t know too much about how much these cards can actually do 4k, really I guess I’m just asking which cards will look better upscaling at least 60fps on a 65 inch LG OLED C1

Currently running an AMD Radeon rx 5700 I got in 2021/2022 can't remember which and I need more ram to run Ace Combat 8 and run 007 First light at an acceptable frame rate. Would prefer AMD over nvidia since I'm more familiar with it.

Many thanks

Thinking about selling my 4090, have a buyer that's willing to be me $3200 Canadian for MSI Suprim X, I was thinking if I should just take the money and buy a 5080 for around 1700-1800 on Marketplace, or should I just hold on to the 4090? Advice would be appreciated

Edit: Just want to say thanks to everyone input so far I really appreciate the feedback

I'm looking into a DIY VRAM upgrade for local LLMs. I've found old discussions about the W7900 and a few references to an RX 7900 with 48GB, but no build log showing how it was done.

Has anyone seen a working conversion with the PCB model, memory part numbers and VBIOS available? A photo of both sides and a test using more than 24GB would be useful too. I'm especially curious whether anyone has used a custom PCB or transplanted the GPU onto a pro board.

A documented 32GB 6800/6900 build would also help. I'm after something I can reproduce, even if it needs a donor board and BGA work.

So I have a ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2060 OC given to me as a gift but I have a cv650 power supply.

The PSU has a single PCIe pin that splits into two 6+2 connectors. Main concern is that two individual PCIe cables is recommended. So it has the required cables but it is a single cable instead of two. Should I be worried about heat on that single cable?

back in 2019, I built my first computer and bought a graphics card that looked really cool to me but was not so good so i returned it and bought a RTX 2070 super. I have no clue what brand it was, or how many fans it has. Ive been trying to find it recently online with no luck. it looked JUST like a gpu version of The Mercury train from the 40s and an airstream camper. the price was around $300 back in 2019. Thanks in advance for helping me find this long lost gpu!

I bought this PC about 4 years ago and built it myself. I’ve been more than satisfied with its performance all this time, but lately I’ve noticed that it’s starting to struggle quite a bit with newer games, which is obviously to be expected.

• CPU: 5600x Ryzen
• GPU: ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming
• MOBO: X570 Phantom Gaming 4
• Ram: 4x8gb 3200mhz CL16 Kingston
• Display: samsung odyssey g5
• PSU: P750GM Gigabyte 750W 80+ Gold
• Case: NZXT H5 Flow CC-H51FB-01
• CPU Cooler: Esports duo arctic freezer 34

My upgrade budget is roughly $700 to $1000, although I’m willing to go a bit over if the price difference is small and the performance improvement is significant.

I would be using the PC exclusively for gaming.

What would you guys recommend upgrading within this price range?

I’ve spent the better part of 2 days trying to find a value 50 series gpu and the best I’m coming up with is 5060 for £320 or 5060ti 16gb for over DOUBLE the price at £650-£700. In what world is the pricing within the same tier never mind the next tier up THIS varied … double the price for more VRAM. And I can’t go higher i.e. 5070, 5080 as then we’re breaking 1k+ territory and it’s simply out of my budget. All the scaremongers have me feeling like nothing short of 12GB is enough.

I want the latest driver features hence the 50 series and don’t desire switching to AMD or intel. I’m already running an AMD Ryzen 5600x so nothing against them …. just Nvidia features and all that with better driver support is too good to leave behind. I’m coming from a 1070ti mind you.

Honestly I’m so fed up with it I feel like packing it all in and buying a Switch 2, call it a day.

Based in the uk

Is it even feasble that the price will go down for the 5090s or future cards? Doesnt look like any end in site with the price hikes.

Might bite the bullet on a 5080 just unsure of bang for buck. Would have liked a 5090.

Son is using an old PC of mine with a Ryzen 7 3800x with an RX580 (the original 3060 died) and I want to get him a better video card so he can play games at better than 50fps. System has a 750W PSU and tons of room. Not looking to spend a ton of money and will probably upgrade in a few years.

The options so far:

RTX 3080 12GB ZOTAC refurbished for $459

RTX 4070 12GB Gigabyte refurbished for $733

Is the 4070 worth the extra cash now or should I stick with the 3080 and worry about upgrading the whole setup in 3-5 years?

Lastly, is there a better option for 1440/4k gaming with Ray Tracing for similar price point?

Edit: Thank you for all your suggestions! I found someone selling an RTX 3080 12GB near me for $380.

Hello planning to buy a **USED** GPU for my PC, I can't decide which one should I buy, RX 6700XT or RTX 3070TI. Both cards are priced **below $300** here in the Philippines.

I'm using it for gaming and streaming thank you

Okay, I'll start with the topic simply.

I have a budget of $700 and I have an old PC that I got in 2022, its specifications are as follows:
RTX 3050, i5 10400F, 16 GB.

And I am now between two options:

either to upgrade the card to an RTX 4060 to improve my experience, I was worried about the bottleneck, but Gemini told me that there will be no bottleneck if I play story-mod games "and that's what i really play" and not shooter games because the card will be at its maximum power.

Or the other option is to simply buy a PS5 Slim with this budget.

My question is, which of the two options do you think is better? Which one would you personally choose, and why? My goal is to achieve the best possible performance from both my PC and console.

I had a 9070xt oc I couldn’t get it to work well for me I sent it back I’m waiting for a refund but it seems the price of GPUs are increasing the pny 5070ti went from 1329 cad to 1700+ and I’m worried they’re gonna keep increasing I am also limited to bestbuy that’s where I have to order it from so the options you see here are all I can swing if I wait for the refund I was gonna get the pny 5070ti but if not I’ll suck it up and order a 5070 my cpu is a Ryzen 7 5800xt I play 1080p currently but I will upgrade to a 1440p as soon as possible is it worth my time to wait and possibly have the gpu prices continue to sky rocket or just buy a 5070 now. I have zero interest in a amd card.
Now when someone suggest and amd card I’m simply gonna ignore your comment I would’ve posted this question in Nvidia if they allowed it but they do not I don’t want ur awful cards.
