dusky plaza Mar 22, 2026, 5:16 PM

Not niche like rtx

dusky plaza Mar 22, 2026, 5:17 PM

They pretty generous with vram too

when will someone think of the single slot, half height, no power connector gamers (i want to replace my P4)

the only card that falls under that category that is faster than the P4, is the 3050 6GB, and that is in like 2 games

2 games? sounds worth it

I think realistically you'd be spending extra if you want much better but single slot for a watercool

the two items together are $171

yea for low end it's pretty much gone to AMD

#

not including intel cause that's the only thing that was worth anything for them at the time anyway

esp now too ig lol

#

least until the next gen ig? iirc the 7000 series wasn't all that great on the low end

#

been a while too to remember really

dusky plaza Mar 22, 2026, 5:33 PM

7600 was the lowest you could buy

7500 was oem only

yea

#

but wasn't the 7600 just a 6600 release or something

#

well in terms of performance

#

just like the 4060 was kinda

dusky plaza Mar 22, 2026, 5:34 PM

#

no the 7600 is a tab faster than a 6600 xt

#

4060 tho was just an awful release

#

mostly faster than 3060, but sometimes slower because vram bandwidth lol

fleet canopy Mar 22, 2026, 5:36 PM

#

I might be wrong but iirc nvidia also made an excuse for more cache making up for the lack of vram too or I could be mistaking it for another company idrk

yup tahts nvidia

I did inspect it and it had no cracks or signs of it.Also always use a gpu holder to remove the weight from the pci-slot and i use monitoring software all the time so no worry.Managed to improve the temps but i needed to undervolt it since it used ridiculous amount of voltage at stock.The fan curve on those cards are bullshit too.They don't spin until they reach 50c so i just adjusted it to 65% static (not noisy at that speed).Temps in idle are around 29-31` just like my 2080 TI.The 2080 ti always had like at least 2/1 fan spinning and the 3 kicked in after temps started to go above 45C/50.1 pic is idle 2 is under load.

Well ive tried fh6 already, and i was only able to get a max of 75fps at native res (no upscaling)

#

Max settings tho

merry bay May 12, 2026, 12:54 PM

#

Might sound a little shill'y but imo DLSS is a noticeable amount better than FSR. Especially in cases where you hit 80ish+ but want more fps. DLSS+2xFG on 50 series seemed surprisingly dialed in. Of course you get a latency bump and some artifacting here and there if you were to pixel peep. But overall the experience was improved for me in several cases.

#

It's close to the line of bad enough to notice

dusky plaza May 12, 2026, 12:55 PM

#

Comparing fsr 4.1 to dlss 4 its pretty much on par quality wise

Fg is slightly in nvidias favour

And mfg is overhyped

Ive tried all of the technologies from both in person

merry bay May 12, 2026, 12:56 PM

If you don't hit 60 and go for FG it can quickly get ugly

Freaken neat!

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:32 AM

That's pretty cool

If I had a better cooler I'd like to see how.far I could push my e5-1680

#

But as it stands the max I can operate at is 4.53Ghz

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:36 AM

#

I used the automatic OC Robot of EVGA's board. I'm pretty sure I could push it up a notch if I wanted to, but I don't fully mind a simple 4.8GHz clock.

#

If you could get cheap Openloop parts that could fit with adjustments, and a huge radiator, you could go far with it.

#

I also have a fan I can only set to a static voltage, that I can't control. I'm getting a Voltage controller for that one, though.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:42 AM

yours is 14nm

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

But I do still think a lot lies in the fact that the radiator I have is a good quality, non-generic, one.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

which is why it runs a lot cooler and more efficient

#

The rad actually has a lot less to do with it then people think

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

Even with 6 more physical cores?

#

I dunno about that one, chief.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:43 AM

#

the thermal transfer rate of the heat medium is the bottleneck in most liquid loops

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:43 AM

#

I know my radiator stuff, and whilst it doesn't cool it, having a larger one gives more buffer in temperatures due to being able to transfer the heat.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:43 AM

#

In saying that a larger rad has higher potential to dissipate heat and will always perform better then smaller ones due to the buffer nature of the larger rad

#

but the overclockers rule of thumb is 120mm x 28mm per component for cooling as with a good rad thats all you need

#

I also firmly believe it is incorrect to run a 360mm rad into a CPU then a GPU and back to the rad

#

Id rather do a 240mm into the CPU then a 120mm rad and then the GPU which runs back to the larger rad

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:45 AM

#

That is likely true.

#

Due to buildup

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:45 AM

#

yeah

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:46 AM

#

But I absolutely would not trust a non-240 on this CPU for the overclock specifically, even if it so would work.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:46 AM

#

Pushing my CPU past 4.5Ghz starts causing it to run hot as it cant blow off the heat due to the size of the rad and lack of reserve water at a reasonable temp causes me to heat up like a mofo

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:46 AM

#

Undersizing, in all branches of watercooling, is not optimal.

#

Ye.

#

You reach a certain point, like a breaking point, where it accumilates heat instead of dissipates it.

#

And even if it is slowly, the constant addition of heat from the CPU in this case means it will just increase.

#

Heat in/heat out.

#

Can cause engine failure/issues on old radiators.

#

And of course, having a 360x360 radiator is cool and all, but it only means you'll even out the temperature further towards room-temperature. The return on it is lackluster seen from a cost perspective.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:50 AM

#

Also think of the other thing

#

if you have a single rad

#

And you cool your CPU and GPU

#

with no other rad

#

you CPU is running at say 60 degrees

#

and then 60 degree water hits your GPU

#

so your GPU is now being cooled with high temp water

#

(this is under fuck off hot loads though)

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:51 AM

#

But, from another perspective, something I've been thinking about. a 360x360 costs a shit ton of money. But a car radiator, a cheap one, even smaller one's would do. It would cost only somewhere between 50-100 euro, and in computer terms, it's huge.

#

Well, water transfers heat quite efficiently. In a loop, the water will almost always have a constant temperature if you have good flow.

#

It does not mean you would not gain from putting a radiator in between, but water, especially under flow, will transfer the heat throughout the loop quite efficiently.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:52 AM

#

Yeah but if you heat medium is 60 degrees already

#

how cool is your desired part gonna get?

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:53 AM

#

Well, yeah, if we are frying eggs with our comp.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:53 AM

#

maybe a faction cooler

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:53 AM

#

A better solution is to just divide the heat of both components, as to they do not share it between them.

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 11:54 AM

#

Hence why my dream PC has a rad after each cooled component

#

and then a rad before the res for a good buffer

sick reef Jun 3, 2019, 11:54 AM

#

I have a frankenstein dream PC Idea where I put a car radiator on the water loop system.

#

Or 2, for good measure.

#

Heck, I could get the car's fan as well, or several.

#

It would still not be "expensive"

#

Relatively speaking to getting specific computer parts for that endeavour.

#

The dream PC I had I have already built with this, which feels really weird.

Like catching the white whale kind of weird.

rejected Instinct cards

No Vega style card is meant for gaming

lucid osprey Jun 3, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

workstation cards are the radeon firepros

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 1:17 PM

#

I don't know what the Radeon Vii was based on as I haven't really been interested in it

lucid osprey Jun 3, 2019, 1:17 PM

#

it's all just branding and small features

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 1:17 PM

But the Vega 64 and 56 were based off old workstation cards

Until two ish years ago I was still rocking a 660 ti

lucid osprey Jun 3, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

hell, i'd switch back to my rx 580 if i didn't need my 2080ti

fiery nacelle Jun 3, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

dang - 660Ti is old

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

Maybe 3 years ago actually

#

I'm on an RX 580 ATM

#

Which is being a pile of garbage

#

But when it works it does fine

fiery nacelle Jun 3, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

That's a nice card isn't it? (unless it was made by Giga)

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

RIP my Vega 64

#

The RX 580 isn't a bad card but mine seems to be playing up

fiery nacelle Jun 3, 2019, 1:19 PM

@lucid osprey You got yourself a Gsync monitor?

lucid osprey Jun 3, 2019, 1:19 PM

#

~~Vega: "As hot as the star it's named after"~~

#

freesync

fiery nacelle Jun 3, 2019, 1:19 PM

oh

harsh terrace Jun 3, 2019, 1:19 PM

#

Giga? @fiery nacelle

lucid osprey Jun 3, 2019, 1:19 PM

#

and i'm annoyed because nvida doesn't do freesync over hdmi

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 1:19 PM

I'm speaking with my PSU manufacturer ATM about some testing and or RMA as I have reason to believe it fried my Vega

@harsh terrace gigabyte

Gigabyte AMD GPU boards... disappointing quality

#

not all, but some models

harsh terrace Jun 3, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

Really? All the PCB's I've seen from them are great

fiery nacelle Jun 3, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

@lost iron Oh dear, I suppose you'll change your PSU in the interim?

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

Based on the fact that my original RX 580 was good and reliable until this PSU then it started playing up.
Then a few weeks into my Vega it burnt up, finally I put my RX 580 back in and it seems to be running although funky.
Then I swapped the cables over (modular) and nearly all my problems are gone

#

The 580 has crashed once since cable change over but I think that's due to damage already caused

fiery nacelle Jun 3, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

@harsh terrace Could be a cooling solution issue - either VRM or memory/core

harsh terrace Jun 3, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

Maybe...

fiery nacelle Jun 3, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

Some Gigabyte AM4 boards VRM are so-so though

#

Having said that, I use a Gigabyte motherboard LOL

lost iron Jun 3, 2019, 1:21 PM

I do know that with some cards (can't remember which ones) gigabyte were using shoddy quality VRM's and RAM
