    Question PCIE_PWR1 on MSI X870 Mag WiFi ?

    Yea that is my mobo. I assumed that it was for extra power for multiple gpu/heavy oc, but I wanted to make sure. The motherboard already has 2x8 cpu pins and a 1x24 general connector.. I am baffled at how much power this thing supposedly ""needs"".

    Question PCIE_PWR1 on MSI X870 Mag WiFi ?

    Hello, I recently built a pc, everything works fine, I played for hours and stresstested all parts, temperatures are fine, voltages are fine, I have a 9800X3D CPU and a 9070 XT GPU. On the board however I noticed that there's a 8 pin PCIe power connector labeled "PWR1". The manual is unclear as...

    Question 9070 XT or 7900 XTX ?

    I saw that review, but I wasn't interested about the non xt version, should I consider that over the XT?

    Question 9070 XT or 7900 XTX ?

    I am sorry, you mean better than 7900 XTX? Also 1.1k is an insane price Edit. I have a be quiet gold 1000w, I can support both

    Question 9070 XT or 7900 XTX ?

    Hello, I have been waiting for the 9070 series release before I picked a card. I plan to game mostly at 1440p, not much Ray Tracing unless forced to. I was thinking about getting a 9070 XT, but currently they are around 1k € where I live (Italy), with the Nitro version going for 1.1k. Now the...

    Could very well be. I am not an expert so all I say comes from direct experience, and that experience shows lackluster performance ( on my system ) game after game. Not to mention they all kinda tend to look the same imho.

    I see, thanks again. I'll start buying the other parts while I wait to see how the new Nvidia / AMD cards perform.

    I see thanks for the explanation. I also agree that UE5 games are a mistake. Hell UE5 just made devs lazy, I was playing stalker 2 and it is just sad. Kills my current system

    Thanks for the help! I looked at the case, would you recommend I add at least 1 exhaust fan at the top? Considering it's got 2intake and 1 exhaust already. I was otherwise looking at this case here, (NZXT H7 Flow 2024 edition. Cannot link sadly.)looks like I should be able to swap fine, maybe...

    I am sorry, I explained myself poorly. I know the difference between upscaling technology and Raytracing. The latter I do not particularly care about, as for the former, I would prefer to keep on a minimal level, since it makes games look a bit blurry due to the generated frames in my...
