the calculator I used is an even smaller chance than that I think
either way, versus the amount of those cards sold the stats indicate it is user error
or just straight up trolling. tbh 7 granted RMA requests seems weird to me

I would believe on several occasions the RMA being "approved" but nothing happens
That sort of bs happens a lot

I tend not to as they tend to be model or board specific. Zip ties are universal
I don't think that one is. It has one big heat sink for the gpu, and a zillion little ones to fit individually to all of the specific card's specific features, using thermal glue
Although reviews commonly say the included thermal glue doesn't hold

Oh, you thought it was a water block?

Are links allowed to be posted here?
If so then does anybody else know if there r any other gpus that r like this. Preferably around this quality or even around 7800xt performance
I like how it's custom in a way and if there aren't any other are there trustworthy people that actually do work and paint the tops of gpus n stuff. Of course they couldn't paint every part but y'know

I dunno if I've seen cards like that which aren't a limited run

Painful imo

on ebay aim for good reviewed sellers, with recent sales (last six months or newer) sort by us only, sort by price lowest to highest, choose every conditon but parts only and then the only information you need to care about is whether the title has the name of the card you searched and the seller has good reviews
that's how you ebay gpu I think

I'd look for a $120 5700XT or maybe 5500XT for a bit less tbh

23.12.1 might work
AMD gives a couple months leeway in the lead-up to release

24.1.1 should be the most ideal though, if there were any optimisation issues that needed addressing

The vram ones look ok

when I was cleaning the pcb and the cold plate the pads touched the ground for some I dont know if that affects these tho
well I'll see when testing

It's good practice to swap anyway
If you do a job you may as well do a good one

reviews for this ones say squishy but I have no idea
odd siren
Neither
Worth asking around about
I normally use k5 pro cos it's all just way too complicated for the investment
Tons of people would disagree with me tho, but it's just plain easy
unique relic
so a thermal paste?
odd siren
It's more like a putty that sets
unique relic
ohh I see now
odd siren
Think of it more like a play-doh constituent once it dries
It's messy, but it's reusable 1000 times over and needs no measuring
And it's not the best by a long way, but good enough most times
For uh, gddr6x I'd probably say k5 pro isn't ideal
For that I'd actually do honeywell ptm7950
If the pads aren't to be too thick
So like, 1mm or less
unique relic
I also saw a rly good one from thermal grizzly however its too thin
0.2 mm
def wont be enough
odd siren
Kryosheet? Yeah it's not worth
odd siren
All thermal grizzly stuff is just overpriced
It's decent, but german manufacturing makes it expensive
Not any better than ptm7950
unique relic
for the sizes I found some resources but all are different
for example this from "thermalpad.eu"
looking at my pic 1 mm seems believable
odd siren
for the sizes I found some resources but all are different
Another reason I'd be concerned
unique relic
someone in evga forum said 2.25 mm for those
yeah thats just so different
1 and 2.25 mm
odd siren
And probably different density pads too
Well, as I said ask around about it, but you got a plan B from me if it don't work
K5 pro and honeywell would be a pretty permanent solution (honeywell to the core while you're at it)
unique relic
I didnt know about those 2 products, so thanks for those
definitely a good alternative
odd siren
Made my life easier for hardware so they're worth sharing lmao
Plan C would be reuse pads but add a drop of mx-6 over each component
Jank but adds life
unique relic
I have an mx-6 so thats an option
odd siren
Those pads are kinda wrecked tho so you'll need at least something new
unique relic
yeah I plan on spending some for the thermal pads as first solution
odd siren
The vrm/inductor ones

3080 is still a good card so its worth imo

in a forum I saw someone saying that this card has thermal putty on VRMs so he didnt replace it

Thermal pads or putty? Lots of gpus use thermal pads to help transfer heat from the vram/vrm chips to the heat pipes that might be a couple of millimeters away and not directly touching the chip
unique relic
I meant thermal pad*
not paste
yeah thats why but is thermal pad and thermal putty the same thing

I believe thermal putty is just a more malleable version of pads; instead of cutting to size and getting the height right you just apply it, kinda like thermal paste but thicker

That depends on the cause of the slow speed. If it's over WiFi then I'd expect that unless you're a few feet from the router. WiFi speed drops off fast with distance and obstacles.

6750 XT gets more fps than the 4060 ti except in ray tracing, which the 4060 ti isn't strong enough to do anyway.
keen nacelle
And a better cooler
livid idol
Plus 12GB on AMD is already aging better
Several games hit the 8GB limit and start loading low res textures now, even at 1080p
Most recent data from HUB, the 6750 is a few fps above the 6700.
So the 6750 XT seems comparable to the 16GB model of the 4060 ti or 3070
Oh and the 3060/4060 are a good 15-20% below all of these

You can try to use the "restore factory settings" option in the installer but they only recently fixed that, so it might not work on an older driver.
raven wharf
is the installer in adrenalin edition
i cant remember
cause id prefer not to do ddu

The driver installer you would normally use

i just played a few games for like 2-3 hours straight with no issues
gpu was under full load the whole time so maybe it was a one time thing idk
past steeple
Does anyone know what gpu is better than a gigabyte eagle 6700xt that can pair with a 5600g until l get a replacement for the cpu?
livid idol
What resolution are you playing at
fading glacier
there are few better than a 6700x, you are pretty much at the entry point of the top gpus
keen nacelle
With 5600g, you're basically maxed out. However since you're planning to upgrade cpu, it depends what you want to spend
You can do literally any gpu lol
fading glacier
at that point you can go from everything from a 6900xt or 4070s and up
past steeple
I am playing at 2560 x1440
keen nacelle
Do you alr have the 6700xt?
past steeple
For someone who mainly uses my pc for school, do you think it would be worth upgrading my gpu?
keen nacelle
Well what do you do for school
past steeple
Yes, l do, but l haven’t installed it into my pc yet.
keen nacelle
Any reason you want to replace it?
For gaming you'd see more of a benefit upgrading your cpu
fading glacier
6700xt is a pretty soilid 1440p gpu
past steeple
As of right now, l don’t do anything special for school. Mainly use my email, Microsoft word, and go on certain websites.
past steeple
There isn’t a particular reason why l would replace it, but l built my pc when prices were pretty high for gpu’s, so l bought everything else before l bought the gpu. I eventually did when prices went down.
fading glacier
then as anything in life, if you cant justify it, then why wasting good money that could be used on other things?
keen nacelle
I'd upgrade cpu first
fading glacier
yupo, 6700xt is pretty solid, your cpu tho... is kinda old indeed, and newer and more powerful ones are cheaper anyway
past steeple
I forgot to mention that l may do some casual gaming, but l mainly use it for school.
random walrus
At 1440p I doubt upgrading the 5600g is worth it tbh (unless upgrading gpu as well)
If you don't really have a reason to upgrade now, I'd just keep what you have and save $ for an upgrade down the line
past steeple
Sounds good, I’ll just keep my gpu then, but what cpu do you guys think l should get? I don’t want to go too crazy on the money spent.

I’m having trouble picking which 4090 is the best. Ignoring the price aspect.
There’s a few that complain of coil whine or something major like fan issues.
livid idol
Coil whine is going to vary wildly and usually goes away if you set a fps limit.
The best is usually the cheapest. The coolers on them are so overbuilt you could take one of the fans off and it'll still work perfectly fine.
Every 4090 will perform within a couple % of another, standard variances and the occasional factory overclock (of 30 MHz) included.
olive bobcat
Which is the best bang for the buck, I guess I should say.
livid idol
I'll rephrase. They're all effectively identical in performance, so pick the one you like.

I'm not sure if i need all the features.
I don't have a gsync monitor if that matters

i dont think it should
if you care about just gaming and no raytracing I recommend radeon
7800 XT can be found for around 500
7900 XT for around 700
i have an xfx 6950xt which is slightly slower than the 7900xt, they are both really good cards
raven wharf
its a flagship card so itll basically handle anything you throw at in 4k
watch some reviews or ask some of the smarter people in here to make up your mind, just depends on what you want

that depends on a good few things
what your current set up is, what psu you have, resolution, what you use your pc for
random walrus
I'm gonna guess Minecraft
Maybe a touch of beamng, euro truck sim, portal 2, and CS
livid idol
Which CS because that makes a huge difference
edgy pewter
what your current set up is, what psu you have, resolution, what you use your pc...
Okay, i give answers like the questions are grouped
Q: What is your current setup?
A: I have a PC that has a Intel Core i9 10900K and 48GB of Mixed DDR4 RAM and a Asus Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and also a Gainward Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti```
Q: What PSU do you have?
A: I have a Be Quiet Straight Power 11 Power Supply, Black 1000W 80 Plus Gold```
Q: What resolution?
A: I'M currently stuck on 1080P but i plan to get a Better Monitor that is 1440P before the GPU Upgrade.```
Q: What is the usecase?
A: I use that for various things, for example Blender, SheepIt(load is Blender), COD MW, BeamNG.drive and then other CUDA Compute programs like "Waifu2x-caffe" and Tensorflow```
edgy pewter
Maybe a touch of beamng, euro truck sim, portal 2, and CS
Well, it really depends on the day what i do on my PC
random walrus
Was just peeping your linked steam profile lol
edgy pewter
Yeah, that is reasonable, but the "Battle.net" launcher isn't connected.
Since i may play COD MW
livid idol
The 4070 ti (and super) would seem to fit those needs quite well
livid idol
There's 2 CS2 games now 🙃
Counter Strike 2 and Cities Skylines 2
Both have very different needs
edgy pewter
i'm kinda sad that CS:GO isn't a thing anymore
edgy pewter
The 4070 ti (and super) would seem to fit those needs quite well
Well, i'd say that the RTX 4070 Ti (not super) would do my needs good in the future if i'm right...
livid idol
I mean the 4070 ti super, not the 4070 super
edgy pewter
That is what i generally mean
livid idol
I have to clarify now because of the stupid names
edgy pewter
i think the high end game "Lego Island" is then gonna be finally playable on my PC then
livid idol
Those new Lego games are surprisingly difficult to run with all the RT effects. My poor 3080 ti was screaming playing Builder's Journey.
edgy pewter
Those new Lego games are surprisingly difficult to run with all the RT effects. ...
I mean that Lego Island
livid idol
O
edgy pewter
That might then run smoothly finally with the new GPU for a month
livid idol
Considering the age of the game it probably has 16 bit executables so you'd need to run that in PCem. I've done that too and yes it hits both the CPU and GPU good.
edgy pewter
But damn, that GPU that i have an eye on be faster:
But it's real expensive
PS: that is on "versus.com"

So in the future the "MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X OC" is a good pick?

It should be fine. I think they mostly fixed the overheating issues from the 30 series on that model.
Maybe that was just the 2x I'm thinking of
edgy pewter
It should be fine. I think they mostly fixed the overheating issues from the 30 ...

So i'd personally say that i would need to wait a bit more for the money
but real quick: would you recommend that i would look for used GPUs?
livid idol
Used is perfectly fine as long as it's not obviously damaged or caked in dust
edgy pewter
What is with the last thing by the way?
livid idol
Which last thing?
edgy pewter
Caked in dust
I have something that i can clean it with
and no i don't mean a vacuum cleaner
a real compressor that i can carefully set right
livid idol
If it's obviously dirty then it means it wasn't maintained well. More dust means things like the thermal pads can dry out faster, leading to higher temps and even crashing if the dust (which is electrically conductive) managed to short something.
edgy pewter
got it.
keen nacelle
Okay, i give answers like the questions are grouped
```
Q: What is your current...
4070 ti is about comparable to a 3090/ti
edgy pewter
and there are 8GB 4070 Ti's, should i avoid them for an upgrade?
keen nacelle
You'd probably want a 4070 ti super for the extra vram
Gaming it's not super important, but for what you do the extra vram could be useful
livid idol
8GB isn't going to be enough for larger blender projects and even some games at 1440p
edgy pewter
You'd probably want a 4070 ti super for the extra vram
Can it be used if there is used?
keen nacelle
Yeah
livid idol
A used 12GB 3080/ti would be good
edgy pewter
A used 12GB 3080/ti would be good
well, Better than the 4070 Ti Super?
edgy pewter
okay 👍
livid idol
It's about 25% better than what you have at least, maybe more in some vram heavy things
edgy pewter
🤔
livid idol
If you're thinking "it's weird that 2 products named so close together like the 3070 ti and 3080 have such a large performance gap" you'd be right
livid idol
That would be a few more % up the stack
edgy pewter
and within my reach in a bit...
Holy moly, what a deal:
jk, idk if those are really a great option
i i think i have (without those absurdly high prices) around 380€

Can someone explain to me; how can micro graphics cards or even the graphics cards designed in laptops compete just as well with the full size graphics card? Or would you argue differently?
livid idol
Laptop chips these days are often just lower power models of the desktop chips. For example, the laptop 4090 is literally a desktop 4080 with a power limit.
vital oriole
sometimes they're even identical versions of desktop gpu
livid idol
That power limit is the key to making sure it's able to be cooled in the smaller form factor. Less power, less heat, less thermal mass needed to cool it.

Why doesn't the desktop 4080 have the laptop 4090's power limit?

badly programmed games are a dime a dozen :)
If all you play is AAA games yeah. Ironically Indie games or smaller studios are often much better and fewer bugs.

And that's new, could do even better used

Can run any GPU on the market
I would love to see it try to run a 3090 on older drivers where it spikes to 650W for 15ms

If you're doing recording then you would probably benefit from the latest gen GPUs because they have AV1 encoding support. Smaller file sizes, better quality, less compute intensive.
