Don't know how much is your budget. Go for RX 9070 XT (850W power supply recommended) or RTX 5070 Ti, if not RX 9070 or RTX 5060 Ti 16GB (ignore any less VRAM graphic cards)

Within 5k is good actually.

Just running through the prices
9070xt rm3.8k+ ngdp gold psu 850w rm400
5070ti rm4.3k
9070 rm3.2k
5060ti 16gb 2.4k

the other option doesn't require a psu upgrade?
*
9070 XT = 800W
5070 Ti = 750W
9070 = 700W
5060 ti = 650W

It is better to have 50W or more than it needs so you have room to add stuffs to your PC. It depends on your CPU and what you have in your PC as well. Ageing will have less power over time. Cooler PSU (more capacity runs cooler) slows down the ageing.

Hi all, recently found my PC have been sluggish when doing Excel work and opening multiple apps. Probably time to upgrade on RAM but want to have thoughts and recommendations on what can be upgraded since is been a while since the last.

[B][Budget] 2-3k

[Purpose]

Normal Excel usage. For gaming, mainly on PathOfExile currently but if upgraded, am keen to play older titles like BaldursGate3 / GodOfWar Ragnarok / DM5. Doesnt have to be on max settings.

[Hardwares that will be re-use]

My Rig currently as below:
B550 Asrock Pro4
Ryzen 5 3600
16GB Zadak 3200 MHZ
Zotac Gaming GeForce GTX 1660
Deepcool 650W PSU

On Deepcool CL500 Case

[Monitor resolution] Dont plan to change monitor.
*
Well, you missed 6.6 sale. This is the final upgrade for this motherboard. Try

Ryzen 7 5700X (please update your BIOS) - 868
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE - 118
Kingston HyperX Fury Beast 16GB DDR4-3200 X2 - 302
Sapphire RX 9060 XT 16GB (ignore any 8GB cards) - 1759

RM3047 total (Shopee prices)

You might be able to get 5700X3D with small topup if mid month sale goes your way next week.

Depending on spreadsheet complexity, 16GB may not be enough. My use case even 16GB I can feel it slow when working across multiple datasets. Upgraded to 32GB helps a lot.
Plus thats pretty much the last upgrade it will take so why not maximise it. Also soon DDR4 RAM will go up 50% in pricing https://www.techspot.com/news/108224-ddr4-p...dr5-beyond.html

There is possibility his ram is 8GB X2, another 8GB X2 will work. Selling his RAM off in the future will be more hassle though.

Unless you are fine with lower quality picture. 27" for RM500 is asking a lot.

if thats the case, guess i will have to downgrade it to 2k.

4k resolution is very demanding. Even RTX 5090 will struggle at ultra settings. RTX 5060 Ti 16GB or RX 9060 XT 16GB is entry level 1440p card.

This card also another contender if your CPU is AMD 7000 or Intel 14th gen or better. Mid month sale is on.

You can delete 8GB cards from your list.

Again, you do not even need Ultra settings for games, as they tend to offer minimal visual quality improvements at the vast expense of performance loss icon_idea.gif
If you know your graphical settings you can get 4K gaming on a fairly modest GPU - see Digital Foundry for an example icon_idea.gif
*
The point is paying premium price and still not able to max settings is sad. Expectation goes up when price is higher.

Thats a good price considering its less than RM 100 more than USA MSRP. Somemore in USA prices are being scalped. Here I guess market perception for Nvidia so strong, nobody is scalping Arc.
*
Yeah, that price cannot be ignored. The amount of Intel GPU driver updates is crazy. Their software team is working hard.

Nvidia branding is around for a long time. It will take a while for the competition to get a hold of the market share. Nvidia mishaps this year should hit a little. Not playing nice with the press will damage their reputation further.

Crazy to think at launch 9070XT was sold at RM 3500-3800 nearly double the price today. AMD Msia totally no control and allowed their distros to scalp hard.

It is cheaper now.

Hi all. Need some help here. I just realize my psu is only 600w instead of 650w. This means im not having enough power right? Currently assembled parts per above but on bootup VGA is on redlight at motherboard.

If yes, any recommendations on psu for me? Current case is deepcool CL500 on B550 Asrock pro 4.

Hi guys, update. So i updated my motherboard bios via instantflash. While changed back to old gpu with new cpu, able to boot into windows. After swapping back to new gpu, the motherboard doesnt have redlight indicator when turn on (gpu fans are spinning). Seems to be able to boot however my monitor display is not working when connected. Any clues?
