    It's Official - AMD RX 9070 Starting @ $549 and 9070 XT @ $599

    Went to MicroCenter, all MSRP cards were gone. Picked up a Power Color Hellhound for $749.

    It's Official - AMD RX 9070 Starting @ $549 and 9070 XT @ $599

    I’m noticing that only Best Buy is listing the 9070 AIB cards early. Is this a new anti-scalper tactic to prevent bots from ordering?

    It's Official - AMD RX 9070 Starting @ $549 and 9070 XT @ $599

    So MSRP on a 9070XT with a 10% tariff is $660 plus local sales tax is going to push the price to over $700. Since there's no reference cards coming directly from AMD you have to add the AIB custom cooler/BIOS overhead so I'm going to assume that the average price is going to hover around $850 -...

    Wow those prices are all over the place. I think I'll continue to sit this one out.

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    The measurements deBauer recorded in this video are insane! How does Nvidia design a connector that's pushing so much power through just 1 or 2 of the 12 available pins? 150 degrees celsius on the PSU side and 23 amps measured on just 1 small cable. The gauge of that wire isn't enough to...

    The Asus ROG Astral air cooled card is now over $3k! That's a $280 increase. Seems to line up with the new American tariffs on Chinese imports. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1876781-REG/asus_rog_astral_rtx5090_32g_gaming_geforce_rtx_5090_republic.html :confused:

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears 2025

    I'm still scratching my head how Nvidia sets a release date of January 30th and a major computer retailer like Microcenter gets less than 250 RTX 5090 for all of North America! That's insane to me.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review - The New Flagship

    Here's a review confirming the insane price Asus is charging for their top end 5090! ($2799) https://youtu.be/aaC8JBhY6Rw?si=rIty_vc_25UWyYpe&t=756 Might have to sit this one out!

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review - The New Flagship

    There's no way that Asus can justify an additional $800 for their cooler. The card is capped at 600 watts so there's minimal overclocking potential. They're actually selling their cards at scalper prices right off rip! Incredible!

    RTX 5090 - $2000 - 2 Slot Design - available on Jan. 30 - 12VHPWR still

    I'm thinking about the heat output of a 14900K/5090 build. 250 watts for the CPU and 575 for the GPU. That's a lot of heat getting dumped into my home office.

    RTX 5090 - $2000 - 2 Slot Design - available on Jan. 30 - 12VHPWR still

    I'm waiting to see the real performance numbers related to the 5000 series before I decide to buy. I'm not a big fan of frame generation (at least the way it's being implemented currently). I usually end up disabling it because it's causing problems.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    So the game runs well until you hit the first main base then performance tanks hard. Similar to what happened with Dragon's Dogma 2.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    This game's been delayed multiple times (for understandable reasons) so I don't get why they finally decide to push it out the door with so many bugs. I've really been looking forward to this but I don't want to play it day one if it's this janky.

    Dragon Age™: The Veilguard

    I just finished this and I have to admit, excluding the one poorly written companion that triggered a ton of hate, the overall game was really good. The last few hours are some of the best dark fantasy action I've experienced in a really long time. That one decision to force DEI components into...

    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review - The Best Gaming Processor

    The benefit is smaller than something like an Intel 285K since the 9800x3d has so much L3 cache but faster memory will definitely improve performance when the CPU is accessing data off system RAM.

    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review - The Best Gaming Processor

    I put together a new build with a 9800x3d and a Gigabyte x870E AORUS Master board. I paired that with a set of G.Skill DDR5 8400 memory modules. Using the XMP profile the system is not stable. Hopefully future AGESA releases will help stabilize higher timings. I was able to manually tweak the...

    Unknown 9: Awakening

    I'm wondering what happened with this game. I feel that it was rushed out the door. The in game characters have no eye animations. They all have that deer in the headlights death stare look to them. The cut scenes are laughably bad. I'm going to assume that the cutscenes were manually animated...

    Probably not relevant to this thread but I installed Jedi Survivor on my Xbox Series X (via Gamepass) and it runs perfectly. Good visuals and a solid 60fps.

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

    I downloaded the patch and played for a bit. While the game does run a bit better this patch is not the holy grail. The typical traversal stutter is still here and as bad as ever. Since most games using UE4 have these issues I don't think it'll ever be fixed.

    Star Wars Outlaws

    I agree that the majority of Star Wars fans want to see Jedi Knights in games but there are other stories to tell. Look at the movie Roque One for example. That was the story of how the Republic (or the Resistance) got the plans for the Death Star which they used to destroy it during the movie...

    I finished the main story quests last night. IMO this was a really well done Star Wars game.

If you're a fan of the original movie trilogy you're going...

    Star Wars Outlaws

    I put 4 hours into this game and so far it's really good. Very high production value. Doesn't feel like a typical open world UbiSoft game. For anyone on the fence I'll say it's definitely worth a try. Sub to UbiSoft+ and check it out.

    Star Wars Outlaws

    I paid $20 for UbiSoft+ and I'm playing the game right now. So far it seems OK. I should be able to play through the entire game and cancel the subscription before the 30 days ends.
