Hello everyone, your initial post displays your PC details from a phone forum (phone forum noob/warrior). Your CPU is an OC 8086k, which won’t be available until the 2080s. You’re considering using a 7970 Radeon XFX with 3GB GDDR5 on an ASUS P34Q ultrawide monitor. First, will it handle around 60 FPS with some tweaks? It shouldn’t be as powerful as modern games or even D&D/BG titles. If you’re okay with a lower frame rate, the best buy 14-day return policy on a 1070 would work—return it after 14 days and have someone else buy another one for the same period until the new flagship arrives.

It seems like you're pointing out a questionable strategy choice. Instead of using the 7970 with low graphics settings, you could try the 1440 setting for better performance.

I understand it is... but I can explain my actions based on what I do professionally. I consider myself a good person, and I believe my karma will balance out in the long run. Week to month or year? Any experience with actual card or ultra-wide stresses? Thanks for your response!

BestBuy seems like a place that monitors returns, which could block your ability to return items. I’m not sure if you meant someone else should handle it, but it’s smart to avoid hurting another customer’s chance to return something valuable. https://www.businessinsider.com/stores-t...ist-2018-3

Here’s a revised version of your message:

I’m careful about tracking details and often ask for ID information. That’s why I prefer using several accounts, especially 1070 rather than 1080, to avoid relying on someone else’s best performance. I make sure there are multiple 1070s available at the store. (Not completely reckless.) If needed, I can switch to a 1060 for a week and check how it looks on my system before deciding. Once I upgrade to 1070 again, I’ll repeat the process and justify it as research for finding the best GPU for my PC with these games and programs. I won’t be lying to myself or others. Thanks for your response! Do you have any experience with ultra-wide monitors and how challenging WoW is on an older card like that?

To argue for breaking return rules is a sign of poor character.

The emotions from 2018 left a mark, stronger than most experiences.
