Hey everyone! I'm currently saving up to buy a 9070xt for my first PC build, but I'm totally lost when it comes to choosing a manufacturer. I'm curious about things like warranties, customer service, noise levels, clock speeds, and potential sag issues. If you have any insights or recommendations, I would really appreciate your help!

Make sure to check your PSU for the right connector type. If it’s older, you might need the 2x 8-pin models. The 3x 8-pin seems standard for the 9070xt, but some have the new connector.
Check out this video! It’s for the 7000 series, but it should still be relevant for the 9000 series too. Just pick the best one that fits your budget!
Thanks! I’ll check it out!
Honestly, just go for whichever 3-fan model is the cheapest. There's barely a performance difference—like 2%—between the top brands. Sure, some coolers are better, but I wouldn't spend more than $20-$50 extra for it. Anything beyond that seems a bit much.
I’ll remember this as I look around! Thank you!
I recommend MSI because their cards are super quiet. I’m not too concerned about a minor performance gap if it means my rig isn’t noisy. Not a big deal for me!
I’ll definitely check out MSI if they are really quiet.
I don’t really stick to one brand. The pricier cards might have better BIOS for overclocking, but I’ve seen some people flash Strix BIOS on different cards with success. For me, it’s all about the cooling and power delivery.
I’ll keep that in mind as I look around. Thank you!
I typically use Gigabyte. They have some really cool 3-fan GPUs. But honestly, any reputable brand will do just fine!
I’ll have to look into theirs and see if I can find a cool design I like that might persuade me to go with them.
I’m looking at getting the Corsair RM750e (2025) 750 W Fully Modular ATX Power Supply. I’m thinking it should work with almost all of them?
