I remember when top of the line cards were 800 dollars but man I needed an excuse to build another PC I guess its calling me

I mean I used to sell new Honda Civics for $15k and accords for $17500 and iphones for $99-199

shyt changes (none of this is for the better, costs are too high every where )

My computer randomly freezes for no apparent reason. I did a full virus scan and had 1 but it was cleaned, and I did the windows RAM check and it came back normal.

Anybody know what could be wrong?

Could be cpu overheating or even gpu. Use a program ti measure the temps to see if thats the issue. Mine did that and i realize the thermal paste that came with the cpu was garbage and reapplied with some 3rd party one and fixed my freezing/over heating issues.

Could also be corrupted file. Try running: sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in Command Prompt.


If those dont work then it can be faulty PSU as worse case scenario

I am AMD for life the past decades but these new Nvidia GPUs

Nvidia got gaming in a chokehold, and they won't surrender it with frame generation

Yeah they left AMD in the dust. No way they catching up.

Guys what is the best GPU for $500-$600? I been holding out to get a RTX 4080 but prices still high years later ?

 

[Hostile]

^^^ 4070 unless you want a used 7900xt.

 

[SCJoe]

I'm looking at the 5080 specs and conflicted. Im trying to future proof before GTA 6 comes out but I think a 4070 ti super should be good enough...right? Right?!

Top end. No question nvidia. But upper mid to low end, AMD still competes rasterstions and always a better value.

Not enough info. When is it freezing? Did you make any changes(hardware, software, etc) prior to the freezing? How old is the system?

There isn't really a time that it freezes, it does it randomly. I haven't made any changes but I did move my computer next to a vent. I initially thought maybe it was overheating because of it but whenever i check my temp on Core Temp the max is always in the 50 degree range. It actually froze as I was just writing this response

I have a AMD Ryzen 5600X and my GPU is a 1080. I am going to buy either the 5070ti or 5080 when they are released.

Only other relevant thing I can think of is for whatever reason when I force shutdown after the freeze and restore pages on my browser, it brings me back to pages I had saved over a week or 2 ago.

Your GPU might need to be re-pasted. Also, when is the last time you checked for any BIOS updates?
