Got an ROG Ally last year for Christmas from my oldest son, this year I decided I wanted to build my first PC. Decided to swing by the local Amazon returns/overstock store called "Gimme a Five", the store has big bins of returns/overstock and you basically just sort through the bins hoping to find something cool, wigs, blinds, weedeater string, phone cases, it's the most random stuff, but I do occasionally swing by and look at stuff with my wife, today I decided to swing by and look for some case fans and I found this absolute behemoth of a GPU, looks to be 100% new. Snatched it real quick for $4 plus tax. I haven't tried it out yet because I still don't have a case, but I'll keep you updated.

It's on and it seems to be working fine, installing windows, will update again soon.

Upgrading from the 6800xt.

Genuinely I wanted one card I just wanted to upgrade my computer. I saved up and budget just enough I woke up early to buy online. I refreshed the page and gone… any 600 card is gone. I switched to a different site and gone. One last site and one is in stock but it’s military style and two hundred more. Fuck this I want one. ONE CARD TO UPGRADE MY PC. Not to rip people off online.

Edit:thank you for the award!

Edit 2: HOLY COW! I have never posted on Reddit so I am shocked. Thank you all! And for those of you who had your orders cancelled I am so sorry.

Edit 3: for those of you saying “it’s not scalpers” look at eBay and look at facebook marketplace most people making those listings have several cards and for the record some of us live 5+ hours away from the nearest micro center

Saw it on Reddit months ago and decided to give it a shot, ended up looking pretty cool.

For anyone wondering about warranties and RMA, I have yet to RMA anything in the last 15 years and I doubt I'll have to in the next 3 years either which is why I decided to not keep the boxes in my closet for years and instead have something nice to look at on my wall.

Recently Finished my fully custom copper pc with:

Gigabyte 9070xt Gaming OC

Ryzen 7 9800x3d

Gigabyte B650M Aurous Elite Wifi

32Gb Klevv 6000mhz CL28 DDR5 ( wanted 64gb, but AI boom make wallet Sad :( )

AlphaCool Gpu Block

Heatkiller IV Cpu Block

Alpha Cool DDC pump with Custom enclosure

Reservoir made from an old Primus Blowtorch with sight gauge fitted to it

custom Wooden Case made by me

Custom cables made from Corsair 850W SFX Power supply

Noctua Industrial 120mm Fans

It's small but highly efficient.

Finally time for the 1080ti and 8700k to put their feet up. GOATED system. Hopefully this one lasts just as long.

Lady trying to convince me her used 5700xt is worth $640 and it's wroth trading for a 6950xt. I tried to inform her, but you can't convince stupid.

Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT

as a casual gamer with no brand loyalty who enjoys native 1440p gaming at a reasonable price

so excited for fsr 4!!!

Apparently my RX 9070 XT identifies as 4090. I find it pretty funny.

After seeing benchmark of people's 9070 I decided I wanted to how my system stacks up against other's and I found this "feature".

Obligatory note: Very happy* with the card so far coming from an i7 4770k and a 3060 on 1080p. Night and day difference.

*Very happy with the performace, however the coil whine is killing me! It's bad, really bad!

So I finally joined Team Red and got this for 300€ used. After some repairs by krisfix (.de), I ended up paying 450€ in total—and I’m pretty happy about it. I came from a 4090, but that one broke down, and now Proshop is ghosting me even though I sent them my card for an RMA (that’s another story). I’m keen to see if I can even notice a difference in my use case (just gaming).

Could anyone help me out and explain what the four holes are for? I haven’t been able to find any anti-sag bracket or any other related information.

Got this instead for 670€. I’m so happy now.
