Congratulations on finding the one game in the TPU test suite where the 5060ti is faster than the 4070. Literally the definition of cherry picking ETA : Look the 7900XTX is faster than the 4090

It sure as hell doesn't sit between the 4070 and 4070 super. It's slower than a 4070, just scroll up and take a look at the average fps performance graph from Techpowerup

The only feature the 5060ti gets is DLSS multi fake frames, and that's while it loses support for 32 bit physx. And it's also objectively slower than the 4070. 20w is basically nothing when you're talking about a whole computer + monitor. In an alternate reality where Nvidia wasn't making...

Turn on ray tracing, you know the thing Nvidia cards are supposed to be better at and sold on, and you can see 8GB clearly isn't enough

One thing that numbers don't show is that some games will run with lower amounts of VRAM but you'll get texture popping or assets just straight up disappearing.

With the 5070 typically $600+ at my local Microcenter there's no way the 16GB 5060ti will be under $500

The headphone jack can be solved with a dongle. I guess there's no real solution for the SD card, but 128gb holds a lot of music and video. You also commented on an article about the 9a, so I'd say it's relevant. You could grab something like the Ulefone Armor 24 for even less than the Motorola...

Well for one thing it's not twice as much. The 9a is a whopping $100 more, which for the much longer promised support will pay for itself a few times over when you're buying a new $400 phone every three years. And if it's just for media consumption why not just buy a cheap and dedicated mp3 player?

Because when the screen protector breaks you just put a new one on. A 3 pack of glass screen protectors is something like $10, so much less than the almost $200 to replace the iPhone screen. You're also not out a phone for how ever long Apple decides it takes to replace the screen. That's also...

And it seems like he vastly overpaid. All it took Jensen Huang was $1 million to get the import restrictions rolled back so he can send his big chips to China. https://www.npr.org/2025/04/09/nx-s1-5356480/nvidia-china-ai-h20-chips-trump

It's 7 years of OS and security updates. Google has been great with keeping their word on promised support so far. I think my 3a even got a few updates after they said they'd stop updating it. My current 6a was originally promised 3 years of OS updates which they've now changed to 5 years. So...

My corgi is very food motivated, this is what happens when we don't walk in the direction of the coffee shop that hands out milk bones

Their open box deals are also killer. I've picked up motherboards, ram, and GPU at nice discounts that were all practically new. Were there Fry's Electrics in the PNW. I know they're long out of business but I'm pretty sure Microcenter wouldn't move in to areas with a Fry's and Fry's wouldn't...

Nothing wrong with getting the non-xt model if the XT isn't in your budget, as a bonus it's less of a space heater in the summer. I do wonder if you'll be able to flash the XT bios a claw back some of the performance. I did that with my Vega 56 and got damn close to Vega 64

Here's a list of day 1 Microcenter stock of the 5000 series. They don't show in stock amounts past 25 on the website but I'm willing to bet that they had multiple individual MSRP skus of 9070xts than they had total of 5080s. Demand was huge for these because of the Nvidia paper launch, and they...

Overclockers UK claimed to have 4000 Sapphire Pulse cards in stock to sell at MSRP. The problem with selling online is bots buying up stock instantly. I don't know how you prevent that but it certainly wasn't a paper launch. Microcenter covers a lot of major population centers on the US, and the...

On the website for the cards it states one per household, now of that's one per model or one card total I'm not sure

The Powercolor Reaper is a dual slot card

It's significantly better than the 100s of cards Nvidia had in stock at launch. My local Microcenter had maybe 30 total 5070s in stock with 6 at MSRP. That's 6 cards, not 6 models There seems to be hundreds of 9070xts in stock at MSRP. ETA: The vast majority of cards that's are in stock are...

Hard disagree, local Microcenter opened almost two hours ago and still has multiple models in stock at MSRP, and with decent quantities still showing There's only so much AMD can do about online retailers having their stock bought out by bots and scalpers
