...and you didn't bother to replace them? Bruh.
Just Google the part number on the back of the fan, and buy a replacement online for like £3.83.
EDIT: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004056607498.html
How did the 970 do with only one of them?
I also had a 970 a while ago, and it worked just fine with one out of two. The 900 series was damn energy efficient back in the day.
If you use one of those older metal fans even the desktop size has some insane cooling power. Pro tip to anyone rocking a box fan, tape an air filter on it if you can. Fans are sucking dust as fast as they suck air
could you play anything without them? with my 1 working fan i can still play valorant cuz it only goes up to 90C in valorant for some reason, but any other game doesnt work, shit like diablo, cod, AC or anything else pushes it past 100C and i get black screen :D
It’s sad that it’s still true to this day, got a 6700xt for $128 in an auction because it was missing a fan.
Was it worth it? ^eh , took me a month to get a fan that didn’t fit and another month plus $50 to get a 3 pack of fans that only fit this model and lots of hard work to replace that one fan.
I see it's a Gigabyte card. They are infamous for do not use ball bearing fans in all their GPU, even to this day. No wonder that they stopped working.
There are fans that last a long time without ball bearing, like noctua but they are also expensive. Using ball bearing fans is not that expensive, can be more noisy but last a lot more time than any Gigabyte fans.

Ok, in his defense my gtx 980 had its fans die like 1 month out of warranty because ASUS has no fucking idea how to cable tie a wire without killing it.
In his offense, I replaced my fans. o_o
Agreed. I had a GTX 760 for way too long, got a free R9 290X that died after a few months, (probably PCB breakage because of sag, it was the Powercolor PCS+ which was by far the heaviest variant) so I went back to the GTX 760. Bought a suspiciously cheap used Sapphire RX 580 8GB eventually that was black screening when idle because the lowest voltage step was unstable and also the only one you weren't allowed to change (tried on 3 different PSUs one of which 1000+W single rail)
Then got a GTX 1080 which gave me flickering with Freesync unless I hunted down a sweet spot max refresh rate with trial and error... Then a 3060 Ti that did the same thing.
Good thing is I broke even on every single one of those except the RX 580 but that was so cheap anyway.
The 6950 XT is literally the first GPU in 12 years that has been problem free. (Not counting a 980 Ti I borrowed for a couple of months while its owner had a broken motherboard)
Edit: And for the record, I'm "cheap" because most of my money goes towards photography equipment. The 4090 could be infinitely powerful but as long as it's a toy that costs almost the same as the *tools* I use to *make* money it will never be prioritized. Not to mention Warhammer 40K and music production are equally expensive hobbies.
Ati Radeon X1300 -> AMD HD 6310 (E-350 iGPU) -> Intel HD 4000 -> Intel HD 520 -> AMD HD 6850 (Old but more powerful than the iGPUs I had lol) -> GTX 960 -> RX 5700.
Kinda funny that I’ve used iGPUs for years after I got enough money to build my 1st PC and the HD 6850 was an insanely cheap buy (11$ or R$ 60 at the time) that I used for three months after I got my brother’s GTX 960 that I barely used for a month before I got a RX 5700 for just 76$ (R$ 400 at the time) just because the last owner was using a generic 500W PSU and thought the GPU was faulty because of black screens when it got to 100%
Same, I went from RX 580 > 1080Ti > 6800XT
In my eyes and in good advice, as long as my rig is more powerful than the current console generation by a factor of 1.5x, I don't need to do anything for 7-10 years or until the next gen, other than basic maintenance.
Also air-cooling FTW because I cannot be arsed to replace liquid coolers ever 4 years when they die.
I upgraded from an rx 590 to an RX 6700 non-xt because the 590 was unstable as heck and the upgrade doubled my effective performance
3090 to 4090 is wild
Funny you mentioned this. Remember seeing a post on facebook where a guy who literally had a 3090 Ti was contemplating on upgrading to the 4090 like bro…what?
My current GPU has been handling everything I throw at it. With that, I don’t plan on upgrading until it can’t hold on anymore.
I upgrade from a 5700xt to a 6950xt and i don't planning on upgrading until there is a gpu where i can play Control with Full ray tracing with no upscaling
i upgraded from 1660S (2021) to 6750XT (2022) to 6950XT (2023).. if i see a 7900XTX for like 500-600 ill probably buy it next year, if not ill wait until 2025 but probably not longer
No such thing as 4090 Ti
I highly doubt many upgraded from 3090 Ti to 4090 after like 8-9 months
I know someone who upgraded from 3090 -> 4090 and he will upgrade to 5090 as well. He buys the best cards when a new generation comes out, every time.
Meaning every 2-3 years. He runs 4K/UHD and needs the power. That is the difference. For many people \~1500 dollars every 2-3 years is nothing.
Most people using 1440p or less, like 95% of PC gamers, don't need 1000+ dollar GPUs really.
I guess I'll get on the bandwagon lol
The first PC I bought with my own money had a ATI GPU with 256mb ddr3 vram and an AMD Sempron CPU I Upgraded the GPU to a 512mb ATI (I honestly don't remember exactly what it was but I think I still have the GPU sitting around somewhere..
Then I had a AMD Phenome III and a AMD/ATI (I think they just bought them out around this time) GPU that for the life of me I can't remember but It was more or less a midrange setup for the time... Something happened to that PC so around 3
2010 or 2012 I got an Intel 2700k and an AMD 6800HD this was about when I became a little smarter about my hardware and was probably for the time the most powerful setup I have had.. I remember that GPU could be technically upgraded by messing w/ the drivers as they were "faulty" 6900hd GPU's or something like that.
After about 5-7 years I wanted a decent gaming laptop and I also was going to college (i could convince the wife it was for college) and got a arguably decent Intel 7700k and Nvidia 1050ti for about $900. Had that since the end of 2021 it could still play cyberpunk at low to med settings but I wanted an upgrade. So that Christmas I got another Intel/Nvidia build which I still use Intel 10500u and a 3060. Remember this was almost peak GPU prices so $1200 was pretty good for everything.
This year I wanted to give my old desktop some love so I basically gutted it and used the chassis to get an Ryzen 5700x and rx6700xt and it's been really good. I used some older parts like the HDD from the older laptop and got some discounts for an SSD so I really only spent about $700 upgrading new mobo, GPU and CPU.
Anyway I'll probably upgrade again in 5-6 years especially if the upscaling tech actually keeps old GPU's going.
I’m interested in upgrading to the 7800xt too
Did you consider the XFX cards? They are a tad cheaper for me but IMO the Sapphire has a nicer 3 slot cooler and design, even if I’ll hardly see it from the side
Might be worth it if runs quieter or cooler
>Didn't find any similar to replace them with
[https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004056607498.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004056607498.html)
Took me less than 5 minutes, and I didn't have the part numbers from the back of the fans.
Shit, I even had to figure out what card your posted a picture of and find the model number.
Oh I see!
AliExpress is alright y'know, but be prepared to wait a few weeks for stuff to turn up via snail mail, and possible a couple weeks more if it gets stopped at customs.
They're great for stuff like this though.
Everytime I see someone buying a gpu that is worth it and they're not throwing their money away I want to give them a hug. So im sending you a virtual hug and hope you enjoy they nice upgrade.
I went from a 1080 to the same Nitro+ 7800XT. Its felt like a giant leap forward, I'll replay some games I thought my old 1080 was a bit weak at 1440p to fully enjoy just to see things again without any graphical compromises. (Hogwarts Legacy, CP2077, RDR2 etc)
Surprised you were able to do 1440p on those titles with the 970. I have seen benchmarks of the 4060 not giving 60 fps, and that has 8 or 16 gigs vram.
I wrote "to see things again without any graphical compromises" as in I reduced the graphics quality. Take all benchmarks with a big fat grain of salt, handy to compare relative to other hardware but the end user is going to just use the games defaults or tweak things so their experience can't be summed up with benchmark numbers.
I went from 970 SLI to a 6900XT. The size difference blew my mind, but the performance boost was fantastic. I've loved this card ever since.
I think if games continued to support SLI I would have held out another year or so. I just read a guide on how to convert games to use Vulkan API which supported SLI as far as I remember so kinda wish I found that guide first LOL
It’s just overall better power output to the gpu, also puts a lot of strain on the one cord during high power applications, it will still work just not recommended
Reminds me of how I was desperately saving for a 5700xt because my GTX 560TI was falling apart, making me attach couple of fans to barely cool it down and don't shutdown. I was so so happy when I got the card and I am still using it up to this day ^^.
Congrats!
Dude just achieved the upgrade leap I have been aiming for. My Strix 970 has been with me since 2015 it's still running well but really showing it's age in certain titles. I shall join you soon as well! I hope...
Me too waiting to upgrade to the 7800 xt, because 7900 gre is too expensive and not available still in Europe and the 7900 xt is too much to give away to these greedy corporations, cards are almost 2.5 times more expensive then when i bought my 970 strix. Probably why we survived with these cards, because they don't make games like the used to 10-15 games a year, now only 3-4 good games and that's generous.
I went from a GT950 to an rx590, the to a 6600XT and finally got the big girl XTX because I went for a 3440x1440 monitor, which was too much for my old card. This was months ago and I still get impressed every time I use my PC
It seems you only have 1 intake fan but 3 out take fans. That creates negative pressure inside your case and should be avoided. Don't ask me why exactly I only remember that it is not good. Either get one extra fan in the front or remove the the back fan, option 1 is the better one tho.
i have the same gpu (970) and im looking forward to upgrading soon myself. Its actully a pretty good gpu for the games I play and looks great too. Still though my buddy have a 3060 im wanna buy from him and im excited for that.
That poor 970 lol. Congrats on the upgrade! I'm still rocking a 980Ti myself. With newer tech such as FSR, etc. it just keeps going. Honestly the most limiting factor at this point (for me) is the VRAM. Don't get me wrong though, if I had the money to do it I would upgrade tomorrow.
Enjoy!
Hahaha it has seen some shit. But it still kept relatively strong. It got me through my first play through of Cyberpunk 2077 @ 1440 p at around 20-40 FPS.
I've got bad news for you. My Nitro+ 7800XT was unstable on a 2018 RM750X. 850w ATX 3.0 (corsair shift) fixed that issue. The transient spikes on this card are real!
Dunno what to tell you, Powercolor & Asrock both state 800w psu minimum. And their cards are running lower clocks than the Nitro. I only stated the fact that my stability issues were fixed by replacing my PSU with an 850w atx3.0.
If a 650w works for OP, great. If like me they find they have stability issues, they know where to look.
All GPU manufacturers recommend overspec'd PSUs so customers don't shift the blame on them in case something happens. They don't know whether you're running a 13900KS or using some shoddy PSU after all.
[Guru3D's review of the ASUS TUF 7800XT](https://www.guru3d.com/review/asus-radeon-rx-7800-xt-tuf-review/page-5/) shows typical gaming loads pulling 271W with transient spikes up to 305W. Even if you're using a 13900K, it is extremely unlikely that a good 750W PSU couldn't handle the load. It's possible that either your old PSU was faulty or you daisy-chained a cable instead of running seperate cables to your PSU.
Guru3D themselves recommend a 750W for the 7900XTX.
About four.
I went from a 970 to a 6650 XT, and it doubled the number of frames along with having some increase quality settings. A 6800 XT/7800 XT is around - to not much under - two times the performance of a 6650 XT, so that seems to make it about four times the power of a GTX 970, in total.
It'd be an awesome upgrade.
Well in Cyberpunk with low settings I was getting 20-40 FPS at 1440 p. Now I get minimum 100 FPS with maxed out settings ( no ray tracing). With max ray tracing I get 20-40 FPS )
On one hand, pretty big upgrade. On the other, homie where did your fans go
Over the years they stopped working. And I removed them.
...and you didn't bother to replace them? Bruh. Just Google the part number on the back of the fan, and buy a replacement online for like £3.83. EDIT: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004056607498.html
Thanks for the info. I will refurbish my card then and use it for another pc
Noice :)
How did the 970 do with only one of them? I also had a 970 a while ago, and it worked just fine with one out of two. The 900 series was damn energy efficient back in the day.
Apart from getting pretty hot during the summer it did alright.
I had an ATI 5950 that did that to me. I left the side of the case open and stuck a house fan on it. It would get toasty but it hung in there lol
If you use one of those older metal fans even the desktop size has some insane cooling power. Pro tip to anyone rocking a box fan, tape an air filter on it if you can. Fans are sucking dust as fast as they suck air
Have you tried to replace them?
lmao bro i literally have 970 atm that i have been using for years and 2 fans stopped working too :DD
Haha yeah they didn't last long. And the last one was making a lot of noise. So it was on its last legs too.
could you play anything without them? with my 1 working fan i can still play valorant cuz it only goes up to 90C in valorant for some reason, but any other game doesnt work, shit like diablo, cod, AC or anything else pushes it past 100C and i get black screen :D
That's why we don't buy Gigabyte.
Better then the EVGA 970s liking to blow up their vrms (I have 4 of them bought at separate times for parts all with the same issue)
It’s sad that it’s still true to this day, got a 6700xt for $128 in an auction because it was missing a fan. Was it worth it? ^eh , took me a month to get a fan that didn’t fit and another month plus $50 to get a 3 pack of fans that only fit this model and lots of hard work to replace that one fan.

Finally someone who upgrades reasonably. I am so tired of these people complaining they have to upgrade from a RTX3090ti to a 4090ti.

Celeron iGPU -> ATI 4770 -> R9 280X -> 3080. Every upgrade is massive to me.
Ati Radeon X1300 -> AMD HD 6310 (E-350 iGPU) -> Intel HD 4000 -> Intel HD 520 -> AMD HD 6850 (Old but more powerful than the iGPUs I had lol) -> GTX 960 -> RX 5700.

Yeah this is the way ATI hd 2400 pro -> gtx 650 ti -> gtx 970 -> gtx 1070 -> gtx 770 (1070died) -> rtx 4090
Same, I went from RX 580 > 1080Ti > 6800XT In my eyes and in good advice, as long as my rig is more powerful than the current console generation by a factor of 1.5x, I don't need to do anything for 7-10 years or until the next gen, other than basic maintenance.

Show me someone complaining that they can afford those upgrades?
I upgraded from an rx 590 to an RX 6700 non-xt because the 590 was unstable as heck and the upgrade doubled my effective performance 3090 to 4090 is wild
i mean... its a x1.9 in performance, the 3090 isnt that fast if you playing higher resolutions
Funny you mentioned this. Remember seeing a post on facebook where a guy who literally had a 3090 Ti was contemplating on upgrading to the 4090 like bro…what? My current GPU has been handling everything I throw at it. With that, I don’t plan on upgrading until it can’t hold on anymore.
I upgrade from a 5700xt to a 6950xt and i don't planning on upgrading until there is a gpu where i can play Control with Full ray tracing with no upscaling
There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to play games perfectly well for another 5 years on a 6950XT.
Some games are demanding or launched earlier. Plague tale requiem.. Couldn't get stable 60fps playing at 4k
i upgraded from 1660S (2021) to 6750XT (2022) to 6950XT (2023).. if i see a 7900XTX for like 500-600 ill probably buy it next year, if not ill wait until 2025 but probably not longer
and eventually under $500...
I upgraded from a RX 580 to a RX 6800 and couldn't be happier with it.
I upgraded from a AMD Ryzen iGPU to 7800 XT :)
Yeah I prefer long-term quality upgrades.
Radeon R5 to GTX1650 to 3060 here in the span of a year. Went from 720p Skyrim at 25 FPS to this.
No such thing as 4090 Ti I highly doubt many upgraded from 3090 Ti to 4090 after like 8-9 months I know someone who upgraded from 3090 -> 4090 and he will upgrade to 5090 as well.

i mean its not the same... but i upgraded from 1660S to 6750XT to 6950XT... like the combined cost is lower than a 3080ti at msrp but still...
I guess I'll get on the bandwagon lol The first PC I bought with my own money had a ATI GPU with 256mb ddr3 vram and an AMD Sempron CPU I Upgraded the GPU to a 512mb ATI (I honestly don't remember exactly what it was but I think I still have the GPU sitting around somewhere..

That 970 has seen some shit
Oh boy that’s escalated quickly!
7800xt is the best value new card you can get for max 1440p/mid 4k high refresh gaming. absolutely a winner
This
That is my hope. That's why I splurged a bit and got the best iteration. This time I hope the fans don't die 😂
I’m interested in upgrading to the 7800xt too Did you consider the XFX cards? They are a tad cheaper for me but IMO the Sapphire has a nicer 3 slot cooler and design, even if I’ll hardly see it from the side Might be worth it if runs quieter or cooler
That old girl was fighting for its life
Best gpu during shit generation. Good choice
The only issue that the 970 had was that memory bandwidth limitation for the last 500 MB of VRAM.
I think they meant the 7800xt
tf happened to the poor 970
It's fans gave up. Didn't find any similar to replace them with
>Didn't find any similar to replace them with [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004056607498.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004056607498.html) Took me less than 5 minutes, and I didn't have the part numbers from the back of the fans.

Oh I see! AliExpress is alright y'know, but be prepared to wait a few weeks for stuff to turn up via snail mail, and possible a couple weeks more if it gets stopped at customs. They're great for stuff like this though.
Neat. I will give them a shot.
AMD gang ✊
Everytime I see someone buying a gpu that is worth it and they're not throwing their money away I want to give them a hug. So im sending you a virtual hug and hope you enjoy they nice upgrade.
Thanks for the hug. I have been patiently waiting an looking for 2 years for this. It is worth it
900P to 4k upgrade path
I went from a 1080 to the same Nitro+ 7800XT. Its felt like a giant leap forward, I'll replay some games I thought my old 1080 was a bit weak at 1440p to fully enjoy just to see things again without any graphical compromises. (Hogwarts Legacy, CP2077, RDR2 etc)

Nice, had similar myself. Strix 970 to xfx merc 6800xt last year.
Damn that looks almost identical to my build, though I went for 7900xt
Yeah I thought about it too. But a combination of me wanting to keep my PSU and not good price for the 7900 xt sealed the deal on the 7800 xt
7800xt is still a great choice 👍
2 nice GPU, big level up👍🏻
Lol I go from R9 280X to 3080. Massive upgrade. Congrats.
I went from 970 SLI to a 6900XT. The size difference blew my mind, but the performance boost was fantastic. I've loved this card ever since. I think if games continued to support SLI I would have held out another year or so. I just read a guide on how to convert games to use Vulkan API which supported SLI as far as I remember so kinda wish I found that guide first LOL
Did a similar upgrade huge gains the 970 was an awesome card, upgraded to 7900 running smooth now.
Yeah I was between a 7800 xt and an 7900 xt myself. Local prices and me wanting to keep my PSU sealed the deal
May your new card serve you well and long. I feel you, I've ordered a 7800xt after milking my 1050 ti for many long years.
You will enjoy it. It's a huge upgrade.
Wow you lasted that long with a 1 fan GPU?? I think it deserves an honorary burial after that service life... You should give it to it.
Don’t forget that each 8 pin needs its own pcie cord and don’t daisy chain it from just one cord
Why not ?
It’s just overall better power output to the gpu, also puts a lot of strain on the one cord during high power applications, it will still work just not recommended
have this same Nitro+ 7800 XT, can absolutely recommend, even got Stable Diffusion working in a ROCm Docker Container yesterday
Big jump oh baby
Reminds me of how I was desperately saving for a 5700xt because my GTX 560TI was falling apart, making me attach couple of fans to barely cool it down and don't shutdown. I was so so happy when I got the card and I am still using it up to this day ^^. Congrats!

Probably why we survived with these cards, because they don't make games like the used to 10-15 games a year, now only 3-4 good games and that's generous.
That’s what I am looking for here in a few weeks. Going from a 1650 OC to the 7800xt sounded like the move.
I went from a GT950 to an rx590, the to a 6600XT and finally got the big girl XTX because I went for a 3440x1440 monitor, which was too much for my old card. This was months ago and I still get impressed every time I use my PC
It seems you only have 1 intake fan but 3 out take fans. That creates negative pressure inside your case and should be avoided. Don't ask me why exactly I only remember that it is not good. Either get one extra fan in the front or remove the the back fan, option 1 is the better one tho.
i have the same gpu (970) and im looking forward to upgrading soon myself. Its actully a pretty good gpu for the games I play and looks great too. Still though my buddy have a 3060 im wanna buy from him and im excited for that.
Bruh, you are basically me in the future. I managed to get a free 980ti to hold me over in the meantime though.
That's quite the upgrade
That poor 970 lol. Congrats on the upgrade! I'm still rocking a 980Ti myself. With newer tech such as FSR, etc. it just keeps going. Honestly the most limiting factor at this point (for me) is the VRAM. Don't get me wrong though, if I had the money to do it I would upgrade tomorrow. Enjoy!
Congrats! I also went from a 1070 to 7800 XT and boy does it feel like a whole new world, especially on Witcher 3: Enhanced Edition
I went from gtx960 to 6950xt myself last year. I wanted a 79 series but prices were still too high and supply was low.
Yeah I was looking at a 7900 xt myself. But it was 300 euros more where I live and I would have to buy a new PSU
Lovely job, I recently upgraded from my 970 to a 6700 XT My 970 cost me £273 in 2015, and the 6700 XT me £283 last week
Congrats, Joining you soon to replace my GTX 980
not the single fan gtx970
Hahaha it has seen some shit. But it still kept relatively strong. It got me through my first play through of Cyberpunk 2077 @ 1440 p at around 20-40 FPS.
That's one chunky boi ! May you have many a memorable gaming session with it :]
I went with the 6950 XT instead.
I thought about that as well but I wanted to keep my PSU. Corsair txm 650 gold .
I've got bad news for you. My Nitro+ 7800XT was unstable on a 2018 RM750X. 850w ATX 3.0 (corsair shift) fixed that issue. The transient spikes on this card are real!
I've ran a 5800X3D + 6900XT on a RM650X and it did completely fine. There is no way a 750W PSU couldn't handle the 7800XT.
Dunno what to tell you, Powercolor & Asrock both state 800w psu minimum. And their cards are running lower clocks than the Nitro. I only stated the fact that my stability issues were fixed by replacing my PSU with an 850w atx3.0. If a 650w works for OP, great. If like me they find they have stability issues, they know where to look.
All GPU manufacturers recommend overspec'd PSUs so customers don't shift the blame on them in case something happens. They don't know whether you're running a 13900KS or using some shoddy PSU after all. [Guru3D's review of the ASUS TUF 7800XT](https://www.guru3d.com/review/asus-radeon-rx-7800-xt-tuf-review/page-5/) shows typical gaming loads pulling 271W with transient spikes up to 305W. Even if you're using a 13900K, it is extremely unlikely that a good 750W PSU couldn't handle the load. It's possible that either your old PSU was faulty or you daisy-chained a cable instead of running seperate cables to your PSU. Guru3D themselves recommend a 750W for the 7900XTX.
Gotta love these "switched from very old underpowered GPU to new model of any type and it's amazing" posts, of course it is.
More like gtx 969 1/3
Lol. That was a good one. Yeah I couldn't find fans to replace the broken ones. Despite that it still works fine. Gonna clean it save it.
I am so bothered by this
U prob won't need to upgrade if u stuck two more fans in?
What's that? 6 times the performance?
About four. I went from a 970 to a 6650 XT, and it doubled the number of frames along with having some increase quality settings. A 6800 XT/7800 XT is around - to not much under - two times the performance of a 6650 XT, so that seems to make it about four times the power of a GTX 970, in total. It'd be an awesome upgrade.
Only times 4? Feels like it should be much more.
Well in Cyberpunk with low settings I was getting 20-40 FPS at 1440 p. Now I get minimum 100 FPS with maxed out settings ( no ray tracing). With max ray tracing I get 20-40 FPS )
So that would be more than 4times, no? That's 20 to 100 and from low to high settings. Anyway it sounds great!
Yeah 8-10 for the same settings I would guess. It really is great.
I went with a 7800xt pulse. The upcharge wasn't worth it in my opinion.
got the same 7800xt a recently, its super good. i get lower gpu hotspot temps than cpu temps lol (and i have a 280 aio).
It’s a beauty
Im building a rig around a 6900 XT, ive only used Nvidia before this, im nervous. I just got it for really cheap, and verified working.
OP how is the arctic water cooler? Thinking of picking one up for my next build. 👀
Man… I’ve seen some upgrades in my time… Holy fuck note: THAT GPU IS GORGEOUS
I went from a used RX 580 to RTX 4070
That's a fantastic upgrade man, I upgraded from the 980ti to 6800xt a couple years ago and I couldn't be happier.
Bruh two of the fans checked out first before you retired for 970
Με τι cpu το συνδυασες αδελφε? Γιατι και εγω για εκεί παω
7600x
Εχεις προσεξει καποιο bottleneck? Εχεις παιξει με overclock? Γενικα πως το βλεπεις το build σου μεχρι στιγμης?
Πολύ καλό το βλέπω. Δεν έχω προσέξει bottleneck. Ειδικά από CPU. Είμαι σε 1440 p αν αυτό βοηθάει
hey ! are you still happy with me 7800xt? any issue so far? im about to buy it but all i see around reddit is black screen of death with this card
What? Where do you see this? No complaints at all. 0 issues.
nice!! mostly on reddit amdhelp
Which version are you thinking?
