Marcus do you wanna sell Marcus a PNY 5090? ♥️
I’m rocking a 7900xt paired with the 9600x and it is a 1440 monster
Still playing with R7 5800x3D + RTX3070😅
I am super pumped to build a pc with 9700x and a 5070ti.
Also if your tech savvy you can bios flash the 9070 to the 9070xt and get better performance than the actual 9070xt.
Just got a 5070ti and it runs KCD2 around 200fps average on DLSS Quality, the upscaling is so good and couldn’t be happier. Haven’t had any problems on any game I play
With a 4070 super ti what cpu would you recommend for playing games like Warzone?
10:38 Hes not talking about it but that Lian Li Case is really good.
just upgraded from 13700K, 3070 to a 9800x3d and 5070ti – 32GB of RAM 6000 cl 30, new case, new(er) psu and Gigabyte 870 ICE MB, everything is here but the new 9800c3d, can't wait
5090 n 9800x3d got my dream setup complete
Anyone remember when msrp, was what it sold for, until it was out of stock or in stock again. None of this trade them like shares and volatility.
Hi @PcCentric,
I have a build with the 9800x3d in a gigabyte x870 motherboard paired with a cooler master atmos 360 cooler. I have 32gb ddr5 cl36 corsair vengence ram, with the corsair rm1000x shift atx3.0 psu. and a Gigabyte m28u 144hz 4k monitor. I built this in the start on this year in jan 2025.
Since then i have been waiting for the latest gpu to buy. now as the prices in my country have dropped to a reasonable value not msrp ofcourse.
i am confused with the 9070xt and the 5080 and 5070ti.
i am lookg for playing titles like cyberpunk ,alan wake 2 , indiana jones, horizon etc in 4k with raytracing. Which card you would suggest as the best price to performance card for raytracing?
I was thinkng og going with 5070ti as it will be less price and can run 4k. but the 5080 is more powerful and i could extend my budget to a certain extent. Or am i wrong not choosing the 9070 xt because its cheap here in my country than the 5070ti and 5080.
what will be ur suggesstion
If it's your first build go with Intel. Amd is only 5% faster at gaming but 10% worst at everything else also AMD is very picky on what parts it will work well with.
I went for the 9070XT in combination with the ryzen 7 7700 (non X). I think it was a good decision. 😊
I should be getting myself a 9800x3d rtx 5080 in a couple of months. Been a whole 13 years when i passed to console gaming, but even tho im getting pc build the ps5 pro is staying.
What about R9800x3d and rtx 4070/ Rx 9070, for 540hz 1080p competitive games?
i7 14700k beats ryzen 7 7800x3d which begs the questian are you another AMD sponsored media twat!
5700x3d with 9070 is good 1440p combo?
Got 5070 for 600 usd cheapest rx 9070 i could find was 750 usd non xt variant i wish amd could fix their prices in other countries
