GPU CHoice
Hi just built my first pc build and seems to work so far but you never know, but i have not bought my gpu yet and need to sort it out, looking at the 9070 xt but unsure which one to go for and pretty much narrowed it down to either:
1. Sapphire pure £600 but 2 pcies only.
2. XFX Mercury OC £640 plus depending on options like white or black, but the £640 is third party through amazon. 3 pcies
3. Powercolor Red Devil OC £688,3 pcies but minimum spec says 900w psu
4. Powercolor Hellhound OC £600 but a lower class powercolor model.

my thoughts are i need to decide if the pure and the hellhound being only 2 connector pcies makes a difference, if the 3 pcies ones are worth paying the extra £40-£90 extra, if to buy now or wait till closer to black friday, plus i worry about the coil whine possibilities, never paid this much for a gpu so need to get it right.

current pc build spec :
amd 9700x
msi b850 edge ti
corsair 850w psu
64 gb ram

want to game at 1440p at a pretty good standard.

The cheapest one.

3 PCi-e is really only for extra OC stability, if you undervolt or don't care about pushing limits then you don't really need a card with 3 connectors

Sapphire is the most reliable, best to go with them, the Pure is cheaper too

Most people don't have issues with them, bad luck if they do

Why can't you reveal it? Is it classified or something? :D

did they make you sign a dna or put under a restraining order not to disclose anything?
you said you had a problem with one of their gpus, but cant say what gpu or what the problem was?

you have had some of the weirdest problems too, could just be user error or inexperience

yeah, knowing smallcat, could just as easily not be sapphire's issue at all, more likely AMD or user error
i will bought a rx6900xt for my christmas heres my specs right now: r5 8500g,32gb ram ddr5 xpg,380 liquid cooling black ( i will change the cpu soon),and a b650 carbon wifi mobo, all that costed me 1.100.000 pesos (in argentina). oh,and my case its one that i found in a used market its a THERMALTAKE TOWER 900 black ( i was lucky) it costed me about 98.000 pesos.
i recommend gpus with more than 10gb vram right now 8gb still ok but not for so long.
