Haven't looked into the details, but why lower Poe budget on the 10 port vs the 5? Could buy 2x5port, save $7 and have 130w..

Sick of seeing that shocker of a mobo on these higher tier pre-builts, they even tried to get away with flogging it with a 5090 build, oh…

8 days = 192 hours, reckon that's long enough?

Wow that's terribly misleading, even my old rx480 nitro+ has more stream processors than this.

ASRock clearly gave this guy the run-around, he's just reporting on what they told him, no problem there. If their claim is true that they…

Path tracing on a 5070 rofl.. you have to be taking the piss.

$1200? Never seen a 5070ti under about $1350.. guessing you are including some kind of "gift cards" or something, but net $1200?

Yeah, not a very good balance for MOBO to CPU/GPU spec. Overall a good price point in today's market though. Bit crazy the 7800x3d's are…

It was definitely the Reaper, the red devil has never been that low. Only the reaper and the steel legend have been $1139.

It's $27.74 on PC/Steam as well 25% discount.

Yes and No. The rebate was because the MSRP was initially higher than $599. AMD saw the 5070/ti launch and immediately delayed the 9070/XT…

Nice one! Enjoy the new card. Another thought about all the crashing you had, did you previously have an NVIDIA card? I've heard there can…

Yeah it seems a lot of the GB b650 boards are getting "free" upgrades to PCIE5.0. Your board, given its apparently an 8 layer PCB means…

If your motherboard behaves like the aorus elite, the 5070ti will also force it into pcie5.0 (which again, might be fine and never cause…

Actually, it's very well documented and reported that almost all b650's that are only PCiE4.0 are syncing at pcie5 with the pcie5 cards ie.…

Dang. What sort of crashing were you getting, I had driver timeouts, black screen/full lock ups requiring forced power down, and sometimes…

It could have been your setup though, my 9070xt crashed about 20 times in the first week, until I cleaned up a few things. Even with a DDU…

There's apparent stock for the white hellhound xt at scorptec for $1299…

Yep, this comment along with "all the usual Radeon driver bugs" is enough info for me to gauge this guys knowledge vs marketed-mind haha.

Whilst I get what you mean about RT suddenly being a thing, it is true that more games are forcing it, so it will surely be useful. Also,…

Driver stability? I haven't heard of any black screen crashing for an AMD card for years, yet take a look at these 5000 NVIDIA cards!!…

Not even close to immediately, take a look at the rx9070xt, now that's what we call immediately due to demand.

I think you answered your own question there, they've been screwing him brainless for all these years... Some people are just a lot more…

If I buy one of these, but then a locally stocked reaper or something else under $1200 pops up before may, can this easily be cancelled for…

But isn't the rebate only because they supplied then over a month ago at a 650 MSRP, hence giving back ~$50 for each MSRP card sold.…

Yep 7800XT is better than 6800XT not only in performance but also power efficiency and bonus AV1 encoding. Sure, it's hardly leaps and…

According to pcpp there were 4090s under 3k way back in August. Still, my point is that pre-builts almost never would be $500-$600 below…

It's not comparing "this" pre-built (which also doesn't save any where near $500-$600 either!) But rather any pre-built.

Because they were all regular prices, no specials, I would have been roasted.

Sigh, the point was clearly in response to the other guy saying that pre-builts save $500-$600 I was showing that isn't true. /Sigh.
