Hello everyone,

I'm interested in buying a new system and I want to use it more for graphic design - Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, etc. No gaming. It will be used primarily for design, not for rendering. I will handle the rendering on a desktop.

I have 2 options

Option 1 -  Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX9H

-          Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX

-          WQXGA, IPS, 240Hz,

-          32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD,

-          NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 16GB GDDR6,

-           No OS, Eclipse Black, 3y on-site, Premium Care

Option 2 - Lenovo Legion 9

-          Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX

-          3.2K, resolution

-          64GB,

-           2 x 1TB SSD

-           NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 12GB GDDR6,

-          No OS, Carbon Black, 3y on-site, Premium Care

The Pro 7 is 2800 euro vat included the 9 is 2600 euro - 200 euro difference

 Thanks

Hey guys, i just got my 4070 super and it's not powering on. It's installed correctly. My psu only has one pcie cable (6+2)x2. I tried daisy chaining them to the adapter that comes with the card but no luck. Is there any other solution than getting a new psu with 2 pcie cables? Psu is MSI mag A650BN

I'm building an extra system for my living room TV and am unsure which of the following used choices is the best value: a gtx1080 for $85, an rtx 2060s for $120 or an rtx 2070s for $140. My main system is a high end 4080 system where I play most of my games, but I'm debating what the best option would be for playing games casually on the TV. The rtx cards have dlss which may improve their image quality on my 4k TV but is it worth the premium over the 1080 for similar performance?

Hi! So I’ve been rocking a 3080 and I’ve loved it these past few years, but I game in 4k on and OLED TV mostly for single player games and I’ve been feeling the strain in some games I’ve really wanted to play smoothly like Alan Wake 2 or Silent Hill 2, even the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds. I know the 5000 series is around the corner, but where I’m from, I’m not too hopeful about stocks and prices (Philippines). I’m looking at getting a 4080 super for around 992 USD, or a 4090 for 1488 USD. Here are my considerations:

1. CPU is an i5 12600kf, which as far as I know isn’t strong enough for a 4090 and I’m not sure I’d want to upgrade my CPU just yet.

2. I like ray tracing and I also am not so picky about DLSS, I play most games these days on DLSS performance but would love to enjoy games at maybe balanced or quality if possible :)

Thanks!

Other than using a GTX 1660 in a prebuilt years and years ago, I'm not at all experienced with Nvidia gpu's and all their driver features and such.

What things should I try out?

Another question, my CPU seems to be bottlenecking now. I'm running a i5-10400 on an MSI H510M and I'm gaming mostly on hard drives too.

I'm considering moving over to a Ryzen 7 9700X and SSD's with a different motherboard. Reason being that I keep getting suttering in all my games I play and my CPU usage is hitting 100% as well as my hard drive usage. Or can I just switch over to SSD's while keeping all my current hardware and hopefully remove the stuttering.

PSU is bequiet pure power 12m 750w. From my research I would need to use the PCIe using both 6+2 connectors but only the 6 pins not the added 2 pins, is that right?

My CPU is Ryzen 7 7700, I already calculated power consumption and it should be enough, but I'm not sure about the connection to a 3080.

I can still return it since it's new if it really doesn't work.

Let's see how this goes. First time build putting in the 4090 FE

I have a laptop which the screen is not working so i want to get a monitor but i don’t know if the graphic card can run 144hz or even 180hz without causing any problems ( the original screen run 120hz )

I need a replacement gpu ASAP and don't have alot of budget to work with. As much as I want to upgrade to a 4080, really can't afford it right now. I also can't buy used right now otherwise I'd just get another 3090.

Is the 4070 super more of a side grade or down grade? I really liked the performance I was getting and I really don't want much of a downgrade.

It's for gaming only and current games I'm playing are things like No Man's Sky, Total War, GTA5, Elite Dangerous but I'm tempted to try cyberpunk which I know is really demanding.

I have a 5800x3d and 32GB of ram.

Looking to buy a 4070 TI Super and am wondering if anyone has experience with this GPU: https://www.newegg.com/msi-ventus-rtx-4070-ti-super-16g-shadow-3x-oc-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-super-16gb-gddr6x/p/N82E16814137898

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Hello guys

Im on the market to buy a GPU, Nvidia only ( sorry AMD fans ) and i have 2 models in sight.

4070ti Super and 4080 super

I was keen to buy from PNY or Asus TUF, since all other options are out of stock, so can any one help me with, wich one is better, pros and cons.

Cheers

Hey there everyone, so I'm finally considering upgrading to a 40 series graphics card, I currently have a 3060ti and have no want to upgrade to 1440p gaming just yet so the card would be used with a 1080p monitor and paired with a ryzen 5 5700x3d cpu, I want to know what the best option for a upgrade would be when it comes to price to performance WITHOUT switching to Radeon I personlly have had too many nightmares with them in the past so I prefer to stick to team green

Hi guys. Which rtx 4070 Super should I buy?

1. Gigabyte RTX 4070 SUPER WINDFORCE OC (€650)
2. Zotac RTX 4070 SUPER Twin Edge (€585)

Is the gigabyte worth the extra money? Or should I choose another one?

I’ve been holding off for almost 7 months with the FOMO of waiting for the 5000 series. But with the whole thing of the Trump Tariffs and the fact that they’re likely going to be heavily scalped for weeks (I’m not from the US, so no Micro Center here), and its probably going to affect the stores in my country as well, i decided to buy it now.

These are the two my budget allows:

MSI RTX 4090 GAMING X TRIO 24G for $2090 | Reviews mention that the cooler on this model lacks a Vapor Chamber and has fewer power phases, so it’s likely to run hotter than other models.

MSI RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G | This one costs only $40 more than the first, but since it’s closed-loop water-cooled, I’m not sure how reliable it will be long term. If the AIO fails, I’d be left with a brick.

Also, my case only allows GPUs to be installed vertically. will it cause any issue with the 12VHPWR connector?.

I recently updated bios on my msi laptop and it broke a bit my ability to play on external monitor (display stutter). Fix was to use NvidiaProfileInspector (https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/s/st95dJsiUT) and switch single display performance to multi display as new bios may have changed something in laptop functionality. Question is how to do it manually without ProfileInspector ? Does nvidia allow users to do it in control panel? I cannot find this functionality

If you could buy a brand-new 3090 Ti for the price of a 4080 Super, which one would you choose?
A friend is asking me, and I'm not sure how to answer.
He plays at 1440p and has a 13700k CPU.
P.S.: The 3090 Ti in my country is usually around 200 to 300$ more expensive.

Hi all After 7 year of service my 1080 died yesterday, keeping in mind that my mobo have a 3.0 pcie at max what's the best quality/price card i can replace it with?

(sorry for my bad english, non native speaker here)

Found one for 600$ - quite rare in Romania. Meeting the seller later today.

I will game occasionally (single player), but mostly, I want to juice out for the next 3 years all the AI generations, photo and video, rendering (even 3d), upscaling, editing.

What softwares do I run to test everything about it? I only know of gpu-z

How do I interpret each software result to figure out how well /100 it performed and where I should expect it to be.

Are the subtle physical imperfections that appear on it over time? What to look for in physical inspection?

And overall if a new one is at 100/100, at what rating would a really good used one be?

I will get a high refresh rate monitor soon but for now I have a 4k 60 monitor. I know that frame gen is bad at 30 fps because half the frames will be generated and they are based or less information. I want to know how that changes with higher fps (still sub 60) though. I can't find how the tech really works anywhere.

I hope that it will only generate the frames necessary (e.g the 15 from 45 to 60) for maximum image quality but maybe it will drop my real frames to 30 and double it. That may sound stupid but if you watch the video at the bottom, he near doubles his frames (at high refresh rates so it doesn't answer my question) but also gets noticeably lower temps and power consumption. I assume that it's from lowering frames actually produced by the gpu and generating more to make up for it, he also alludes to that himself but doesnt seem confident.

I would love someone that fully understands how it works to explain what it does / targets. Not only for 60fps but also how it works beyond that.

Edit: I understand the input delay is based on the native frames, I am only concerned about how it works for image quality reasons.

Let me start this by saying I recognise that I'm in an extremely privileged position to even be able to ask this question.

I currently have a 4090 paired up with a 5900x.

I game predominantly at 4k and mainly single player cinematic games, nothing competitive. I don't have any hobbies or work that require rendering.

With the 5000 series cards around the corner, I was planning on selling my 4090 and adding a little to get a 5090. But with how well the 9800X3D CPUs are performing, I could potentially use that money on upgrading my CPU, mobo and RAM, and stick with the 4090.

My question is, which one would net more returns in terms of gaming performance for my specific use case?

Cheers 🥂

i have thought about upgrading my laptop and adding another external gpu but im not sure if my cpu will be able to handle that. I have a ryzen 5 4600h and gtx 1650 ti. I would also like to know if i can use both gpus on 1 game like fortnite for max fps or on one vr game to handle better.

Thanks!

Title

Found an offer for a 3090 for $600 bucks used, looking to upgrade from a 3060. With the rumors of a 5000 around the corners should I wait it out till the end of the year? Thanks everyone.

So I was looking into buying a new gpu for my pc, I have an intel i9 and 1660 ti right now. My budget is around $300 and the two main ones I was looking at were the 2070S and 3060 but I wanted some outside help. For reference my main games are RL, OW, and heavily modded mincraft, so something that can run smoothly on 144ish FPS would be great. Thank you!

I have the EVGA RTX 2080 Super Black GPU. Had it since 2020, and for quite a while now, my temps in most games tend to reach up to 81-83c with stock settings. According to Afterburner, that seems to be the twmp limit for the card, and as a result it sounds like a jet taking off lol. Its quite noisy. I tried adjusting fan curves and undervolting, and it would still reach those temps in some situations. Since those solutions didn't really work, does this mean that i might have to repaste the GPU? Its the only other option i havent tried yet. It does not have a backplate either, and i bought it new rather than used. I have never re-pasted a GPU or opened up one before, and i have read up on how some have re-pasted their GPU's, and helped keep it cooler and quieter.

I have 2 intakes (140mm Noctuas), and 2 120mm exhausts.

UPDATE: These are my temps while running the Heaven benchmark - https://imgur.com/a/LRh983u

Hello,

I am about to purchase a 4070 super.

I like the look of these two cards the most. Which one should I get.

Zotac Twin = £549 MSI x slim = £580

Thanks

Trying to finalize my gpu for my white build. Finalized to these two. But not sure which one to get. Pricing is almost the same.
