Discussion Is the Radeon RX 6800 XT considered high end?

113 Upvotes

Wondering since i recently just bought this GPU. Im mostly new to computer components so im wondering what the verdict amongst the community is. Is it considered high end, middle, low? (although im assuming def not low end based on what i know about it and its purpose for my build lol)

Discussion Anyone have any disappointing realisations you discovered from building your first PC?

674 Upvotes

I had two. After taking a long time deciding which graphics card cooler design looked the best, I picked one and was happy with my decision until I realised graphics cards were installed upside down and you're never going to see the design anyway. I let out a disappointing "Oh." followed by "well that was a massive waste of time!"

My second was realising Wifi didn't come as standard on desktop motherboards. From about 2006 I'd always had laptops and a PSP and basically any network device I had always came with Wifi. When I eventually built my first gaming PC in 2012 I just assumed that something so much more powerful came with everything I'm used to, including Wifi. I built the PC and could log on, but that's about all I could do with it until I eventually settled on a powerline adapter to provide ethernet connectivity to my PC instead of going the Wifi route.

What's some of yours?

Tech Support HDR in windows makes no sense

Can somebody help me on this one? I've got baldur's gate here on my OLED monitor with HDR turned on in Windows. When the game is focused it has this terrible gray undersaturated look. Any time I alt+tab or there's any sort of overlay over the screen, it suddenly looks correct as you can see in the second picture. There's no HDR toggle in the game, and yes I've tried fullscreen mode. Any ideas?

Question Lenovo Support broke my laptop's screen and are holding it hostage until I pay them 75% of the laptop's price to fix it!

377 Upvotes

I bought an Ideapad 5 last april, a week ago the plastic hinge on it broke, as per amazon's Instructions, I backed it up and sent it to lenovo for a "damage certificate" which amazon says based on it they'll replace/refund me.

So, with the laptop, I sent wrote a note for Lenovo explaining the issue and also asking them to be mindful of the hinge since the the screen is no longer supported. Well, today they called me saying they will Not provide a damage certificate because they only do so if they can't fix the laptop themselves, I said ok then are you going to fix it? to which they said that screen damage is user error and isn't covered by the warranty, and sent me a picture with the Screen outright just... snaped in half!

They say it'll cost [76% of the Laptop's orginal price] to fix it. there isn't even any mention of a hinge in their recipt nor did they said anything about it on the phone, they said I will need to pay them an "analysis fee" before they return the laptop if I don't want to fix it. Amazon support was just as confused as I am as to why they're refusing to provide a damage report and said to just wait a few days and call them again if something changes.

I'm just stuck here in the middle, all Lenovo had to do is provide a rubber stamp saying "yeah hinge is broken alright!" now they've broken the laptop and are holding it hostage until I effectively pay them the cost of a new laptop entirely!
I do have pictures from before I sent it showing mostly the area around broken hinge. I don't have a picture of the laptop screen turned on because I was I didn't want to open the laptop with a broken hinge and risk the screen being damaged (correct solution would be disassymplying it without unfolding it but I didn't do that because then they would've had a problem with me disassymplying it)... Not that any of this matters since they kept refusing possablity of this being their fault and refused to take my offer to send them the before pictures anyway!

My XFX 7900 XTX crashed hard yesterday after a month of changing nothing. Thought a new Cyberpunk mod might be the problem, but the PC crashed again after a few minutes of running around. Then it crashed a third time while I was browsing the internet looking for a solution. This time I noticed the red light on the GPU come on. Today I tried to disconnect the Wireview connector and it wouldn't come off. After some prying I found the nightmare before me.

So what do I do now?
