Isn't this the guy that went to a cat convention because he thought it was a furry convention. I think he's a convicted felony from assaulting police officers during the Jan 6 raid on the capital.

    Why do you need a new mobo? You just need a newer CPU, they're like $150. You can get a 9070xt+CPU for under $1,000. Sounds like you want a new PC all together.

    If you're really set on it and you have a microcenter nearby, you could probably get a CPU+MOBO+RAM for the price of just the RAM.

    You're pretty much limited to just a few cards for under $1,000; unless you happen to land on some fantastic deals, black friday is coming but I wouldn't get too excited. I picked up a rx9070xt 16gb for $650 a couple of months ago at Microcenter but that same card is going for $920 right now.

    I would suggest picking out a couple of cards you like and wait for a random sale because prices are inflated for Black Friday. You might find a good deal, but stores always inflate prices around this time so that the Black Friday sales look better than they really are. There's also the used market but buyer beware.

    Here's a quick pricing guide off the top of my head for around the normal AI inflated prices from my tracking around 6-8 months ago. I'm not going to bother with links because most are broken due to BF sales.

    RTX5060 16gb ~$600 RTX5070 16gb ~$700 RTX5070ti 16gb ~$800 RTX5080 16gb ~$1,000 rx9060xt 16gb ~$650 rx9070xt 16gb ~$800

    I would recommend shopping for a RTX5070ti or rx9070xt with 16gb.

    This card was $650 back in August, now it's $920. https://www.microcenter.com/product/689903/powercolor-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-reaper-triple-fan-16gb-gddr6-pcie-50-graphics-card

    The Nvidia cards are going for double what they were in August. A rtx5070ti is going for $1,400 right now, probably just so some sucker will pay the inflated prices up until BF then on BF people will think they're getting a good deal and impulse buy. In my opinion a good rule to go by is if you can buy a whole new PC with the card pre installed for just a few hundred more than just the card alone then you can reverse the math to see what the card should cost at the time that PC was assembled.

    For example. You can buy rtx5060ti for $1,000 or buy a fully functional PC for $1,400 or a rtx5070ti laptop for $1,600. https://www.microcenter.com/product/712043/powerspec-g732-gaming-pc?ob=1

    GPUs are insane right now. Recommend waiting until Feb/March 2027 and hope to find a random good deal because stores are taking advantage of people right now.

    Christian's supporting a devil, Christ would be very disappointed. Shame on them for supporting an orange faced demon that initiates unjustified wars, orders his own innocent people to be killed, strips the rights of the people, encourages poisoning of the people, televises executions, and does it all for profit, notoriety, and fear mongering.

    Shame on them.

    I've been using Mint on an old PC for a while and I recently switched over to Bazzite and upgraded the graphics card. After days of troubleshooting I finally got the video to output to my TV and monitor. The monitor works fine on the HDMI but the GPU and TV couldn't figure how to talk to each other, so I would either get no video or the resolution would be locked to 480p 4:3. The fix was to use a DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 connector for the TV and HDMI directly to the monitor and now I can get at least 1080p 16:9. But now I have the problem that the PC won't detect audio on the TV. Old GPU worked fine with video and audio.

    Reddit suggested reinstalling Bazzite with the TV connected as the primary display.

    The old GPU was a MSI rx580, new GPU MSI rx 6750 xt. PC is Dell Precision T3600

    Monitor Dell 27in and TV is a Sony 65in OLED

    Any help would be appreciated
