What do we think?
>>108569670I has the 250K.>>108569689>aggressive marketing shilldoes it anger you that i bought intel?
>>108569759The pny gpus are better than people think
>>108569766>I has the 250K.I has the 265k, but I don't feel too bad I guess
>>108569770Terrible name though, desu.
>>108569802How's it worse than any other 3 letter abbreviation?
>>108569826Dunno really. It just is, I suppose. Lack of a vowel, perhaps.

>>108569858>samefag
>>108569859FSR 1/2/3 and ray regeneration?
>>108569858What company do you think has the best name?
>>108569759you bought the worst price/performance 16GB GPU available.
>$900 for a cpuAMtards... don't actually do this to yourself...
>thread autismkek i remember filtering out /dtg/ on /ic/ for this, the OP would spam the thread and early bake to make his wacom only shit
>>108569670Me last year>9900x + 9070xt + 64gb ddr5 6000 mhz ram + 4.5 TB storage>lose job and sell all my shitI'm finally getting some money back bros, but I lost $300 on some ebay bs with some RAM I ordered. Oh well. I'll build it back BETTER over the next two months. Have to save up and buy a piece every paycheck. Might go for 9950x3d cpu
>>108570033consider just buying a Steam Deck and using it docked. pretty good poorfag gaming PC.or just wait™ for the GabeCube that's supposed to release before July.
>>108570033>9950x3d get the 9950x3d2, go big or go home
>>108570033>9070XTThat's rough bro.
>>108570033>I'm poor but I'm going to buy processors that are a terrible value and gpus that will be useless 2 years from nowTerrible, also nico fanfiction
>>108570068>AMD sistergay
I love Radeon they just conform to spec
What were the recommended stores for noodle stopper figures?Or are those cringe now?
>>108570248me too. i'll buy their gpu once they release a true highend one that's at least as good as nvidia's xx80ti and has the necessary RT/PT feature set. the rdna5 rx10090xtx better be good
>>108570248I liked them up until rdna because they were basically totally unlocked and could do retard tier overclocks easily.
>>108570502they can do retard tier oc but like nvidia you have to raise or mod the power limit. like sapphire nitro 9070xt power cable can do 600w+ but the bios limits it to half.
What's the safest way to steal a 5090?I'm not black, so I won't get off with a warning if they catch me.
Can you use semen as thermal paste?
This guy is never right so I guess we're doomed to even higher prices now.
>>108570630buy it from newegg and do a chargebacknewegg will ban you but you get a free 5090
>>108570630Work for a tech illiterate boomer boss who you can convince that your emails are rendering slowly due to having an old video card. Once you've expensed the 5090 and installed it in your work computer, about a week later swap it out for whatever old shit you have in your gaming machine.
>>108570648It's on par with Burger King ranch sauce.
