Went ahead and ordered a 5070ti asus prime for 829 yesterday. Was a 9070xt I almost bought for 660 before hand, but it looked pretty sus coming from a 3rd party Chinese seller.

Case temps are not an issue. I'll be sure to get your opinion before my next build.

While fans have become significantly cosmetic considerations at this points, there’s also an acoustic consideration. More fans running at a lower RPM are less grating on the ears than fewer fans running at a higher RPM.

Goodness, how much does that chonk weigh?
Glad you're enjoying it, mate

It’s heavy! I’m new to PC gaming and man it was rough trying to get the specs right. Me and chatGPT were at it for hours. I have it connected to my LG CX OLED TV

Early leaks re: a 5080 Super have it using the same 203 die but bumping the VRAM from 16gb to 24gb. While I’m sure there’s some tiny fragment of the gaming population that could use the extra VRAM, the fact that the compute remains the same makes it not interesting to me, short of a crazy price drop. Unless the 5070 Super is more interesting, this generation remains a skip for me, personally.

Ended up picking up a 42in C4 and was able to get a founders 5080. Pretty hyped because while the 3080 could “do” 4k it was definitely showing its age.
Now to see if the 5800x bottlenecks this thing when it comes in.

My 7700x bottlenecks a 5070ti at 1440p, so you're probably still getting some at 4k with a 5800x on some games.

I've parted out most of my PC. My gaming days are all but behind me now.

Installed 5090.
Booted Cyberpunk last night. Maxed out every setting, RT on, Path Tracing on, HDR, everything
No DLSS: 100fps average
DLSS Quality: 200fps average
Unbelievable.

Yeah, the 5090 is a monster. It’s a shame Nvidia didn’t go the 3080 route with the 5080 and use a cut down 102 die instead of the 103.
