    Need help with GPU decision before sale ends

    Couldn't hold out. Meet Yuki. Havent had time to properly evaluate, and NOW i will wait for after finals, lol. Nothing like like assembly. Had one odd full screen "snow static" freeze/forced reboot after installing drivers (the first time), that was odd. I've since gone through many...

    Need help with GPU decision before sale ends

    Hey thanks man! I've been obsessing, racking my brain on this build for too long. Internet chatter got in my head and I had visions of green flickery screens and PCB combustion, dancing in my head. I jumped on the navi hypetrain and then was briefly persuaded off, lol. My last card was a 290x...

    Not sure how you got this idea but I've neither: opened the amazon box, the gigabyte box, installed it or fired it up. It's only moved from my porch to my closet, exactly as is whence delivered, untouched, sealed (in the GB box, which is inside the amazon box, brown amazon tape unbroken)...

    How you liking it tangoseal? What brand did you go with? The benchmarks/reviews seem legit for sure, Im also not sure about all this negative "5700xt driver plauge" stuff; my last 3 cards have been AMD and I've had minimal problems. Hope it works out, this was my most costly card yet.

    Need help with GPU decision before sale ends

    Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd it's gone. Back up to $499. Had the tipple fan OC in my cart, was ready to swap em out. They still have the dual fan model for 400, but prefer triple fans. Really hope, if I am "saddled" with the 5700xt that I'm not missing out, for the same price. Why is nVidia marked up so...

    Need help with GPU decision before sale ends

    Thank you so much for getting back to me! I primarily play FPS, some turn-based, Nba2K, really what ever is out and appeals to me. Anything from Witcher to Madden I guess, lol. Some are nvidia engine, others AMD, it's really whatever hits my fancy. Both cards seem capable, either way. I...

    Need help with GPU decision before sale ends

    Please help, my eyes are bludgeoned from research, I know it's basically a coin flip but I rarely get to build a new rig. Stuck deciding between a Gigabyte 5700 XT (OC) or it's 2070 OC cousin (Gigabyte as well, non-super). I paid $400 for the xt off amazon but now the 2070 is on sale for the...
